As someone who had a particulary bitchy thing for E a few months back, i know how hard it is to take the first steps, but once things get going, you just gota hang in there, and wait for it to settle out.

All i can say is good luck, and see you on the other side.

wallace1 - I won't even pretend I know what it is like, but good luck to you bud.

I never have tried hard drugs... My father did all that and I just never had the urge. Once I got into my late teens and started trying more things I saw a movie(requiem for a dream) that reassured the fact that I never want to even try hard drugs.

I hope you stay strong and kick the habbit. I have no idea what youre going through, but I wish you the best.

jimk

wish you the best....i'm almost 1 & 1/2 years off a mean coke addiction. meetings with sponsorship work for me, and nothing else did. and i tried it my way(s) for years.

try to think about the worst place you've ever gotten on your binges. it continues to get worse. it doesn't ever get better until you stop. you know this.

life, by itself, along with lots of little joys, puts up plenty of hurdles for us to get over. i cannot express how much easier my life is now that i've removed the unneccesary chemical ones.

stay clean, man.

This thread is NOT a marijuana/addiction debate. Thanks.

wallace, all I can do is wish you the best of luck.
I cannot advise, but some others have said some wise things.
I hope you are able to make it through this.

Hey Everybody! Day five and I think I can say that the kick is pretty much over. I'm not sleeping much but the thought of wanting to slit my own throat has passed and I feel human again. Thank you all for your encouragement. I have really come to love the tfp. I certainly did not think that I would get as big of a response, I have a long way to go but it really did feel better to look at what y'all had to say.

Peace,
Wallace1

Now remove yourself from the dope scene. Go somewhere you can't get it.

stevie667

Congrats, you've done really well to get that far!
Good luck with the next few weeks.

izzzzy

first and foremost,take things one day at a time. just making a day is an accomplishment. it's really unrealistic to try to remove yourself completely from former associates,and situations arise that will test you bigtime . it is imperitive that you do get up and leave when its time .you'll know when its time.im real happy for you and wish you all the best.hang in there and dont dispair . one good thing about the wagon is that its always there.good luck amigo.

SinisterMotives

This is the best advice I've heard. That's what I did to get out of the meth scene. I packed a bag, hopped on a bus, and headed for the mountains.

Good friend of mine use to talk about how nicotien was just as hard to quit as the big H. At which point he would say "Bull shit. I quite H" as he pulled out a smoke......


To wallace1,
As one who has never had the habit involved, I can't guess what you are going through. I do know that while you alone have to do it, you don't have to do it alone. I'm sure there are support groups in your area. More importently, I'm sure you have friends and family that care about you and will be there to help you be strong. Don't be afraid to turn to the people in your life that matter for help. They can do more for you there then these words ona screen can do for you from here I am sure. Be strong, and I wish you the best.

I've heard that too, but the initial withdrawals are worse with H. There isn't anything I could compare it to quitting. It's torture.

CONGRATS AGAIN WALLACE.

pinkie

I had to do the same thing to kick dope.

wallace1

Hey all. Day six and I am hanging tough. I got 2 hrs. of "sleep" last night. I watched the whole first season of the Soprano's, took 4 HOT showers and read the "Library Police" from Stephen King. Today a pretty girl smiled at me on campus, I am starting to feel human again. I also went to health services today and got honest, Dr. looked me over and gave me a stern lecture and a clean bill of health, Thank God.
I wish I could move back to Colorado, but I have school and I can't just pick up and go. But you have all offered some pretty sage advice and I plan on taking advantage of it. My sense of humor is coming back which is nice because for the first few days I was an emotional mess. I feel like I have gotten to know you guys and that feels really good, life was kind of vacant for a while, if you know what I mean.
I will keep you all posted,, it makes me feel like I have accomplished something to be able to post and tell you all that I am still holding on.
Peace,
Wallace 1

Good to hear from you again wallace, sounds like your making good progress.
You'll probably agree its the little things that make it easier when you quit something, knowing that your slowly returning to you.

Good luck!

bernadette

best wishes, wallace!

sounds like you're well on your way already to a free & happier life.

Outstanding! Congrats. The upcoming challenge is to either avoid triggers or, when you can't, come up with a new response to them. Go for a ridiculously long walk or run or bike ride. Or go hang out with people you know will help keep you straight. Anything that will get your mind away from what your body became programmed to expect when you start heading down that path.

I started this and realized too late this it's been months and this thread is completely dead, so I just edited what I wrote and put this instead.
