Ecstasy and MDMA are often associated with nightlife, connection and relaxation. Yet use can become problematic when recovery takes increasingly longer, boundaries become blurred or sober life feels less appealing.<\/p>

Peggy-Sue considers use in the context of emotions, relationships, environment and underlying vulnerability.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

What is ecstasy and MDMA addiction?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Signs include using more often than planned, low mood or emptiness after use, combining it with other substances and difficulty experiencing pleasure without drugs.<\/p>

Someone may also begin to trivialise the risks because the use appears socially accepted.<\/p>\n

MDMA can temporarily provide closeness, openness or escape.<\/p>

Recovery requires attention to what someone seeks from the drug and how this can be restored to their life in a healthy way.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
