How to get over my strange fear of getting high

Well, basically i quit hydrocodone cold turkey this summer. I will tell you why too. I was afraid of dying. I was afraid of overdose and allergic reactions. I went through withdrawl like it was no proublem. Anyway some of my old friends want to get high on xanax this weekend and i REALLY want to do it, but i still have these phobias. I miss getting high. for the past 3 months i have only smoked weed. So how can i overcome the fear of death by drug abuse?

 

i'm gonna go ahead and be the party pooper, take this fear and make it a positive.

drugs are never a thing to get into and if you have a fear of dying because of them, why go through all the risks associated with drugs for it ?

personally, i wish i never started doing drugs. as it may bring joy or happiness for a short period of time, the struggles and shit that goes along with it are deffinatly not worth it in the end.

 

Stay away from drugs. Save your money and save yourself grief.

 

thank you creedlespeek.

 

No problem! I agree 100% with your first post.

 

Ive spent the last year in rehabilitation centres because of opiates and my benzo scripts. Consider yourself lucky if you have a phobia of hard drug use. It's been almost a year since the fucking IV heroin withdrawals and I still wanna go to cambodia and try some of that pure china white.. I wish i had that phobia like you. This is a hard fucking addiction and I've losta lot of my free will because of it, your phobia is positive and you should embrace it. just smoke the ganja

 

Yes, just stay away from drugs. If I could, I would go back in time and stop myself from ever using that first time. It just isn't worth it.

 

I would be THANKFUL that you are afraid of doing opioids again. They are incredibly addictive as you know, so if you can find a reason NOT to do them, don't do them! If I could find ANYTHING I didn't like about opioids that would stop me from liking them, I would. But, alas, I cant find anything...

 

Take ALL the above advice - as you can see everyone on here is ENVIOUS of your situation and you're really not missing much, except an empty bank account, no friends and alienating your family - YEAH GOOD TIMES !!! I know one use isn't going to get you there, but it's a very slippery slope and we're seeing a friend go down it in just a little over 2 months, which we're all shocked by how quick it happened - already at W/D's in two months from being completley opiate naive!!! Thats what starting of with a habit of daily 30mg oxycodone usage will do to you!!!

So heed the advice and keep feeding your OD phobias, it will save you in the long run!!!
