ok so i guess ii have a problem with drugs/alcohol so im quitting it all. this is a huge step for me. i really dont want to but i have to. so if anyone sees me post in this forum again, please be a fucking ass to me.............thanks
Do you guess, or know you have a prob? I.E. did you decide to make a change, or did someone tell you to? The best advice I ever received is that you can't quit for someone else, you have to want it for yourself, or it will never work. While you may not be let's say a full blown heroin addict, that rule of thumb still applies. While quiting everything may solve the problem temporarily, you may still find yourself wanting to indulge and go a little overboard if something triggers it. (Finding your 'triggers' will go a long way) A tougher, but more enlightening discipline in my eyes is to learn 'moderation'. I believe only then can you enjoy getting high from time to time, but still be in control of your life. Just a little food for thought, on paper stuff sounds easy, but like I said YOU have to want it. Other than that it's just a waste of time.
i completely agree with all that. wasnt quitting for myself but my daughter. my lifes going to shit right now. i was having a talk with my mom today and shes telling me all the bad stuff thats going on and i realized yea its not good. i deff need to learn moderation. thats my problem so for now im just quitting everything untill i get my shit together. ive been shaky, hallucinating, and generally just feeling like shit all day :/
you're such a fuckin ****. youre a fuckin wimp. get a fuckin life!! hey you posted twice but hope all goes well. tough it out. best wishes
I'm glad you decided for your child, thats prob the only reason you should in addition to ur own choice. If your child notices and you also the the negaative effects of your use, then enjoy sobriety -- If you can't succeed for you and your child's sake then quit; It's a rare breed who can do both and still use.
Good for you! It sounds like you need some time to get your life back in order... it's funny how things tend to run amuck when you don't pay attention. I think it's great you're willing to take time to get straight and make better choices. If you stay clean, that's great; but if you decide to use again, please don't think of it as a gigantic failure. It's fun to use, but not at the expense of your mental health and your relationships. I wish you the best of luck. You can always PM me if things get to be just too much.
You know, I didnt even think about children being involved. It sounds as though you have your head in the right place, and you have gotten an early wake up call. For many that call never comes, and it's just said to see kids caught in the middle of stuff like that. I admire you for seing the bigger picture and taking the road less traveled for your family. I belive that Einstein once said 'Only a life lived for others is a life worth living' Best of luck to ya!
No prob, I know support from others can go along way, especially when the peeps have been where you are now. One of the things that really pisses me off is how 'straight people' judge us addicts and treat us more as criminals than what we actually are, which is ill. Us drug users are normal everyday people , but the government has made people hate us by spreading lies and false propoganda. I mean do regular people treat alcoholics as criminal scum? No, and I believe alcohol is the worst drug out there, dont even get me started on tobacco (I guess its ok for millions of people to die as long as they dont get high doin it) Sorry to rant, my point is we are your mothers, brothers, children, etc, dont feel bad about seeking help. We're only human.
im so pissed at myself. so last night i went to an old fiends house and he oered my some beer. i said no, but later changed my mind cuz it looked so damn good. i only had one tho with is good. but when i got home a smoked a ton ao week and accidently took three 2mg kpins. havent takiing any in a while so i have no tolerance to them really. was on my computer eating a brownie and next ting i know is wasking up at 1:30 PM with brownie all over me. AAAhhhhh this sucks. i would through my meds out if i didnt need them
Stick with it. You WILL fail but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Stay sober long enough for you to realize what its like to be free from your vices. Do something with your daughter every time you feel the need to use or do some community work ( i realize this doesnt sound as fun, but it does pay off). Do the right things and the right things will happen.
