^I’m three days off alcohol finally after a pretty long bender. I already feel a heck of a lot better. Alcohol is insidious, and it amazes me how prolific it is in society lately.

I mean, I don’t believe in prohibiting it at all, I just… it amazes me how accepted it is to become an alcoholic these days just so you can say, “Well at least I don’t use drugs and I work 60 hours a week, so I’m not some deadbeat druggie!” As you rapidly approach an early death and get a big fat beer gut going.

I’ve noticed it taking a toll on my wife too lately. She drinks daily just about, not to drunkenness, just one or two drinks max. But still, daily… I can tell it’s affecting her sleep and perhaps her health overall.

No need for it. I now sit in a giant hall, have a bed and that’s it. It’s ok, I have internet and my Tablet but I sure lost some qualities I like in life. Gonna try street food next, now that I am some…
 
I'm glad you have shelter and the basic necessities. <3

Yep, it's pretty wild, especially how many people don't bat an eye at rampant abuse of alcohol, but look down on people that use any illegal drug, most of which are less damaging and intoxicating than alcohol. I mean nearly every other drug impairs your ability to function and control yourself substantially less than alcohol does. It really is one of the "hardest" drugs, yet so many people don't even, or barely even, consider it a drug.

At least weed is finally becoming accepted, too, and psychedelics as well. It gives me hope that maybe one day, attitudes and laws will be more sensible toward drugs.
 
Still no hard cold turkey, but all substances are on decline. I keep slipping in cups of coffee though. Even if it is for constructive purposes, and even if I can keep the tinnitus down with magnesium and theanine during, it's just a freakin' weird experience. It's supposed to be an appetite suppressant, but it's doing the complete opposite on keto. It doesn't really make sense from a metabolism standpoint: caffeine indeed raises blood glucose levels with normal meals, but that shouldn't apply to (partial?) fasting states.

I suppose coffee is just psychologically linked to processing fast sugars. Conceivably this could therefore be abated over time. But I must admit it generally makes little sense to be playing around with vasoconstrictors at this point. I mean, I feel like the coffee has limited negative impact at the moment, but then again, I'm not exactly sure the ears are at proper baseline yet.

All this complexity, justified as informative experiment or not, distracts from the mind settling into natural routines like before. It's probably not even a good idea trying to make the acid microdosing work so soon.
 
Well some of my Psychedelics arrived today so I'm now officially coming off Zyprexa...just refused it tonight at med call. Was doing the math with the half-life and it should be deff out of my system by June 1st. It just so happens that is a pass weekend so me and my girlfriend will be tripping together in the hotel and hanging out in the swimming pool and jacuzzi. It will be so much fun I can't wait, we are gonna be staying at one this weekend but it's gonna be way too soon with me being off the Zyprexa. I have a bottle of 250 count of Diphenhydramine HCL pills that are 50mgs a piece I was thinking about popping two of them tonight at like 10pm and if I'm not asleep in a couple hours taking two more. Last time I tried to come off the Zyprexa I didn't have any sleep meds in the reserve like this but my girlfriend helped me out, cuz she is the best.

Well we’ll, I’m homeless now, maybe even for some months. Does anybody has experience with this?

Yep, in my early twenties, ironically while volunteering to help homeless teens. It took me a couple of months to get back on my feet. Glad to hear you at least have a place to sleep.

Does DPH give you bad nightmares? I get really visceral nightmares from taking it for sleep, without fail.

Don't think so tho my dreams are generally pretty bizarre but I wouldn't say they are scary so much. I'm actually amazed about how well it knocked me out last night and I slept for a very long time, I was in bed until the afternoon since I had off work today it was lovely. Can't really remember what I dreamt about it was kinda like I closed my eyes and then I just woke up. Think I woke up and ate some of the Giant Chocolate Bar I have in bed cuz it was almost gone this morning, it's pretty hazy. I'm actually feeling pretty drowsy already so I'm hopeful it will work well again.

The only drug that ever gave me really scary dreams was a Nicotine Patch left on while I was sleeping. I had the most terrible dream about the cat from Pet Semetary attacking me it was truly horrific. Now you may think how can a large grown man be afraid of a cat...but I was and woke up drenched in sweat. Totally spooked I couldn't go back to sleep all night and I still never finished the last ten pages of that novel. It was a very good book by Stephen King I was really enjoying it until I had that dream.
 
I've binged trip amounts of DPH for a month before. Nightmares are the least of your worries, gotta say.. in fact, the waking nightmares are the reason for taking it, they can be explored. The general mind rot is what's troubling.. imagine a year long brain fog..

Wow, it actually makes me dream less. Which makes sense because it lowers acetylcholine, and that's needed for REM sleep. It's funny how things affect everyone differently.
 
I've just started browsing Bluelight again after life has got in the way the past few years and I have to say it's absolutely refreshing to read some of the posts, comments, musings and discussions here in this sub and elsewhere. Has really made my evening; the great depth of conversation and thought provoking points/threads.

Cheers all!
 
My girlfriend is an hour and a half late coming home from work and isn't answering her phone. That shit always makes me start to feel so worried. I always think about either a car accident, or kidnapping and all that might entail for a woman. I'm sure she's fine, maybe her phone ran out of batteries... she's probably at Trader Joe's or something. I always immediately start worrying about people I care about when they're super late though. Even when she goes to the grocery store after work she's usually back like 45 minutes ago.
 
We share our GPS coordinates with each other at all times. It helps with the confusion, also less phone calls.
 
I hope you guys enjoy the mushrooms. I'm gonna sit here slowly getting more and more worried. Sigh...
 
Okay cool, she's fine, she's at a garden store. I wish my brain didn't do that. I called like 3 times in a row and it went to voice mail after 1 ring the first 2 times and I was like what the fuck, is someone dismissing the call? All I could think was okay, someone kidnapped her and they're tired of me calling. Then the next time she answered. For fuck's sake. That shit freaked me out.

It's almost tiem!

My partner and I are going to be doing a moderate dose of shrooms. It's been years for me and decades for him.

It's gonna be awesome I predict, and not having been in that headspace together before...well, I'm sure it will be special

I had lsd almost 5 years ago now after a 20 year hiatus, a genuine 250ug (2 x 125ug GG Morning Star blotters) so reasonably hefty dose and wow, just fantastic. Set and setting were perfect though and I hadn't been a complete stranger to psychs during the acidless years, had a few high-dose mushroom trips in that time (equivalent perhaps to around 7g liberty caps)

Gonna be having my first lsd trip since te one mentioned above in 2 weeks, a genuine 200ug from the DS 3.0 crystal (@Ismene2) will be pleased. Kinda tempted to up that to 300ug, we'll see
