Little bit of everything keeping myself in check

[Always&ForeverLove]

Could use some advice

 

[telepathetic]

Try to avoid meth and crack, and only smoke heroin, extremely occasionally

It's right there in the title:
LITTLE BIT of EVERYthing

I've gone through multiple addictions over the last 50+ years: alcohol, cocaine, opioids, benzodiazepines, methamphetamine.

I always get in trouble when I fixate on one drug. I end up doing it every day, then multiple times a day, then it becomes all I care about.
These days I dabble in a little bit of everything (except benzos-- those fuckers are just too hard to control for me) and I am able to enjoy a variety of recreational substances without getting strung out on any one thing.

The only drugs I consume all day every day are nicotine and caffeine. Probably will till the day I die.

And this is probably sound advice.

Always been this sort of user, it's possible to chip for a decade or two but eventually the addictive behaviors will show and tolerance will grow anyway, IME. I also think this sort of atypical addiction is harder to treat as almost all treatment models are made for regular users with a DOC.

Buprenorphine + low amount of long acting benzodiazepine is a good one. Pharmaceutical adhd medications used in low doses BUT never in amounts to stay up/binge.

I’m game to dabble with anything except shooting dope or coke , I’ve learned that if I want to use a particular substance frequently I’m gonna go thru something when I stop it and it’s usually unpleasant.
