Only 3 or 4 more days or so until I feel completey better and after that it will be all mental is keeping myself away. I'm going to go to a meeting a day while I'm detoxing.
Not gonna lie though I feel like straight up ass. Wish me luck.
[Aug 11,2009 2:43pm - arilliusbm ""]
good, now stick with it and keep it up.
when you're done, lemme frag you in TFC.
[Aug 11,2009 2:47pm - Hungtableed ""]
Jesus, good luck man. I see people detoxing off all sorts of shit all the time. Dope is pretty bad, but, you can't die from it like booze. We don't usually send guys coming off dope to the hospital like most booze detoxes usually go. The hardest part will be keeping away from everyone and anyone you use to be around who sold it/uses it. My advice, get a new life and a new circle of friends so you never come in contact with it, ever. Again, good luck man! Stay strong...

thanks aril. i'll repost my story for all of you to read and hopefully learn from if you have an addictive personality and are thinking about experimenting with cocaine or opiates. really its for all of you to know where i'm coming from.
And here we go.....
Around the age of 16 I started experimenting with Oxycontin, Percocets, Vicodin and the like. The first time I blew an oxy it was the greatest thing I ever felt in my entire life. Better than sex, better than love, better than the meaning and logic of emotion itself. Before I knew it I had a habit taking about 2 80 OCs a day and that grew to 4 a day. Finally taking those things got way to expensive(this was around 03 when the government starting cracking down and prices went from 30-50 an OC80 to 70-100 for an OC80) so I asked around and got my first bag of dope(dope being heroin so if you see me write that thats what I mean, not weed or anything else). Being that heroin got me that same great opiate high at a low price I was in love. I couldn't get anough of it. But before I knew it snorting the stuff wasn't getting the job done anymore, wasn't getting me high like it used to. So one day after consulting a couple people I knew who had booted(shot, injected) heroin before I tried it. Needless to say it was the greatest thing I ever felt since the first time I blew an oxy. Before I knew it I had a 2 gram a day habit and I was burning every bridge I had. This way by my 18th birthday. Shortly after I got arrested and put on probation for breaking into my neighbors house. This led me to drug court, a halfway house and the means of recovery that got me clean and sober for 2 years. It was a happy, amazing 2 years ad I gained the trust back of my family and friends. I got my degree and certifications for database administration. I was on the right track. This leads us to a couple months ago when I broke down after being stressed and NOT using the tools I had to keep me from using, I used. Since then, a couple months ago, I've had an off and on habit and basically being a "functioning addict". I didn't burn any bridges, I didn't lose my job and I pretty much kept my using again a secret from everyone until a month later my mother found my stash of used needles in my room. Needless to say they were dissapointed. I was dissapointed in myself as well. Since then I continued being off and on again. Using a couple days here a couple days there. The past couple of weeks I decided to start using everyday and now I'm paying for it with some shitty withdrawls but I need to stop before I get back to the way I was before I got clean and sober a couple years ago.

I whistled for a cab and when it came near, the license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror. If anything I could say that this cab was rare, but I thought, "Nah, forget it. Yo, holmes to Bel-Air!" I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8 and I yelled to the cabbie, "Yo homes smell ya later!" Looked at my kingdom I was finally there, to sit on my throne as the prince of Bel-Air. .

It's great that you're doing this. I wish you all the best, and hope that you get to the place you want to be.
I think that one posters advice to make new friends and sever old relationships with those around you who enable you to use, is very good advice. A close friend of mine, twice went to rehab for cocaine addiction, and upon leaving, he would continue to hang with the same people, and ALWAYS ended up relapsing. Now his life is utter shit.
Nothing good can come of using that shit. Nothing.

i hear you, coming down from LSD was enough for me to never want anything harder...and that wasn't even bad, more like "this is lasting too damn long, i just want to be connected to my brain again"
you can do it reim, you're almost there, mind over matter as always.

coming down off LSD? that's the weirdest thing I've ever read. I may or may not have taken plenty of acid and if I did, I wouldn't be able to think of a single time that I would have said "Why won't this end". If I had ever done it a bunch, I would have probably thought "awe... why was that so short? I need to run outside more"
[Aug 11,2009 4:44pm - arktouros ""]
well the one time I took it, even jimBoar said it was a very strong dose. it lasted around 20 hours and i took a TRIP...but after about 12 hours i was done with the feeling. i get sick of being stoned too, so there ya go.
"I may or may not have taken plenty of acid and if I did.." haha

Ugh, this breaks my heart. This is pretty much exactly my little brother's story, except he's relapsed 3x and went to jail for theft (to support the habit of course).
Keep at it. And stay the fuck away from anyone who deals or uses. Don't rely on good luck.

This isn't the first time I've went through withdrawls. I'm prepared with my laptop to be able to browse the interwebs while i sit on the toilet.
[Aug 13,2009 3:09pm - ouchdrummer ""]
It's different for everyone, and obviously you know what you're in for, but the only thing that really helped me kick the shit was that everytime i relapsed, i immediately started quitting again. If you continue doing that, and don't give in to the whole "I feel so bad about relapsing that i'm gonna go on a two week bender" thing, eventually you'll just get so sick of doing the terrible first 3 days over, and over, and over, that you'll be more driven to stay off. Like i said, i know you know what you're in for, and how you should treat it, but any positive reinforcement is always good.
As a side note, for any of you reading this that haven't dealt with serious addiction, the fact that Garrett is posting this is a big step in the right direction, and shows that he wants to be clean. Otherwise he would have continued hiding the addiction to the best of his abilities. I applaud you Garrett, and I really do sympathize. Just keep with it, and keep reminding yourself about how happy you were during the two years that you stayed clean.
