Drug Rehab and Detox

[Neo]

I wanted to start this section for people trying to come off drugs. If you are addicted or have been addicted and need, or can OFFER help to people trying to stay away from drugs please post in this section!

A good way to start is to create a diary of your first day off. And continue to update the thread and let us know (honestly) how you are going.

Lets support each other :)

one thing that some people could find useful when it comes to addictions is to understand the etiology of their addiction.

for instance; some people that I have worked with have discovered that their addiction arose from a symptom of a deeper issue. that their drug use was in the first instance a form of self-soothing, self-medication for inner turmoil. which then became habitual use.

for them, understanding how they came about drugs to self-soothe was integral to their long-term recovery.

One thing we might want to consider is not allowing the specific drug name for things like RCs. I would hate for some news reporter to come across this site and read detailed accounts about how an uncontrolled legal high completely fucked some kids life up. Just given the current environment it makes me a bit worried.

Hi,

Some people are addicted in the drugs,When used appropriately, prescription drugs can have beneficial effects medically or psychologically. Prescription drugs in the opiate family, such as vicodin are often prescribed for chronic pain or recovery from surgery. Benzodiazapines, such as valium or Xanax, are prescribed to treat anxiety.

Help the addiction people to recover the life..

Thank you...

If anyone on here has read my introduction "born again" by legal si,they would know that I am recovering from a vicious and very destructive addiction.
The Addiction was to Crack cocaine and I was spending anything from £40 to £300 a day on that shit.It had me by the balls and turned me into a devious person.I am not naturally a devious lying person and normally dont give a shit about money, but when I was on the crack I spent my days trying to get hold of the next £20 just so I could have a pipe.I felt so bloody discusted with my self begging ,borrowing,manipulating,stealing and selling everything just so I could fill me pipe up again.

I nearly lost everything.....including my life because of that little pale rock.

Even tho I have found a way out and I can see an exit sign.......with a little help from my friendly legal highs....wink wink.I still need a lot of moral support from people.

I am going to be re-doing a relapse prevention course soon because I found the first time round to be very helpful and I came close to finding out what makes me tick yunno why do I take drugs?

Although I have been clean for nearly three weeks now,It still is a daily battle against the cravings and trying to find reasons for not having a pipe.
sometimes all I think is...."why the hell can't I have a pipe?"
It is a type of psychological torture when you have to constantly battle with good verses bad.
Looking on the bright side I havn't smoked any for nearly three weeks and thats the longest I've gone in 6 years without the crack..
Im beginning to feel proud once more and Im beginning to regain parts of my life,I still have my beutiful girlfriend next to me(as I type),this time she beleives me when I said "thats it Ive had enough"....this time I mean it!

I think I might write a few more threads on this rehab /detox thread.Showing different stages of my development.The more people I tell about my giving up the more it will ensure that I dont fuck up.
I WILL BE TRUTHFUL!
If anybody out there wants to give me words of encoragment,they would be gratefully received.Every tiny possitive vibe helps a million times over when it comes to beating the psychological cravings of Crack.
Thanks,and I look forward to spreading good vibes from now on !

Sounds like you're well on your way to a good recovery. I for one will be rooting for you to beat that addiction. I've never been addicted to anything like that, but I know a few people that are going through something similar.
Maybe you can use this thread to keep us updated with your progress.

[legal si]

I wish I took note of the exact date I stopped smoking crack,but all I can say it has been just over a month now.
Im planning on treating myself to some Dusted.."novelty bath salts" this weekend.
Good thing is that I know I can also go it alone without using any alternative methods too eg. legal highs.
I just spent the last week clean from everything.
Still I just love my legal highs!!:D

[Bali Muncher Jim]

I'd recommend Allen Carrs "The Easy Way To Stop Smoking" although its focus is on cigs he does touch on drugs and he has certainly helped enlighten me a bit on addiction and how to try and deal with it.

[legal si]

cheers Bali muncher,will keep an eye out for that then.
every little helps as someone in tescos once said.

Im still off the crack!......just keepin busy with me lady!:D

[crazyfox]

Hey man(si) you know you'll make it.

For people who use benzo's heres a good site: http://www.benzo.org.uk look at the Ashton manual... hopefully I'll never need it, going to have a break from em quite soon for two weeks, just to be sure.

[GOA]

Hi. My Name Is Goa. I'm addicted to opiates/opiods in the mild-moderate degree. I try to get off of an opiate/opiod of some kind every day, but I am also a casual pot smoker, so if I don't get it/have it, oh well.

With Kratom on the other hand, since it's relatively cheap, I can buy a kg of SGI and it will literally last me 3-4 months on a daily dosage regime. And since it's there, why not do it?

I've mostly been wanting to quit or hang back for at least 6 months to clean up/reregulate all my opoid receptorsl

No more pills or RC opoids, because after that, it just ruined the asthetic quality of the high. Same goes for weed. I'm cutting back on that with cannabinoids (ironic, I know), but once I run out of those and stop talking to my regular dealers for a month like some kinda jerk, I wouldn't be bothered to phone back.

Anyways, my rantiness regarding my slow progression towards control in my life, however, don't count me out of the game, because psychoactives and neurology fascinate me in way undescribible... that, and trance music. ;)

Si, I wouldn't have thought. That's some heavy shit, man. But I see you're on the upswing now so I am sending you positive vibes to continue progressing to a crack-free life. Three weeks already, that's pretty impressive on your own, and plus you've got your girl to help you stamp out the evil little rock.

While total abstinence removes a bit of luster from life, do be careful that you don't hit the legals too hard... They're legal (for now), but I'm sure you're aware some of them are psychologically addictive too.

Aww, that felt like a hug of words. =P

[ashxcore]

A hug of words, you say?

Well, it was hard to differentiate the amount of sarcasim in your statement, but I'll still accept it as encouragement. =P

Hi all!
Yet again to say thanks for the word hugs and kind wishes on me beating the crack.
Im ever so proud to say I havn't touched that crap since I joined LHF. It's really late and my brain wont let me work out exactly how long ago it was since I beat the rock and threw away my pipe.but it must be comming up to at least 3 months I reccon.
I owe alot to my wonderful,gorgeous girlfriend for standing by me and helping me re-adjust my thinking and patterns of behaviour(she is the only rock in my life now).
Strange thing but the thought of smoking as pipe right now makes me wanna gag,whereas before it would make me droool.

I really am looking forward to starting a fresh clean new year!

BUT the BIGGEST thanks I can type is to all of you who have been giving me words of encouragment and advice.It goes along way with me,step by step I walk the wobbly road of life,and meet people to guide me straight.

I will still keep posting on progress,only if there is anyone interested.
Thanks again Legal Si:)

[ashxcore]

Of course we're interested!
I'm glad you followed back up with us.
Made me smile.

:D

*salutes*

[wildguy6969]

yah man thats good news . in the long run it's worth it !
keep at it :)

[legal si]

Hi all ,just to let you all know that I have been off the crack for at least 5 and a half months now!
Havnt even had the urge to phone up my ex contacts to see whats happenin.
They can stick to doing their merry little thing ,whilst I continue on the road to recovery.

I wish anybody else who is going through an addiction,to be able to stop,and help themselves re-gain a glimpse of hope.

The world is full of rainbows with pots of gold waiting for us to collect!:D
