I consider myself an addict and I have my drug of choice on-hand. I am a habitual user, and want to stop for a couple days.
The reason being, is because the highs are becoming virtually non-existent and I've built up a tolerance over the 3 years.
My DOC has a very long half-life, so when I stop for a couple days, the highs are much better. But how do I not use for--say--3
days when I have the drugs? The techniques that I've used are traveling away for the weekends or vacationing far from my residence.

Does anyone have any good techniques for getting through a couple days at a time without using, so I can at least get SOMEthing
from it. I've tried locking it away and throwing away the key, but then I ended up ripping and tearing the device apart the next
day.

Any ideas to not use for at least 3 days, when I'm used to using everyday?

Thanks in advance!!
 
Only thing that works really is thinking about how awesome it will be in 3 days when you won't have that tolerance. That's how I can take tolerance breaks.
But that has only worked for me when I didn't have the drug in my house.

I can control myself not to call my dealer. But if I have something in my house that I know I can safely take, I will take it. I can't control that. I'll just say something like: "Oh well, I'll just smoke this weed I have and then take my break when there's no weed left to tempt me."
 
It's kind of hard to say without knowing what your drug of choice is...

Are you going to have physical symptoms without it or just mental cravings?
 
It would be nice to know what your DOC is but anyhow, I already have something that really helps me: work out or do another type of sport. Because after working out, I always feel very healthy and sportive, which drastly reduces my need to take drugs. Don't know if it will help you, though.

gah i have the exact same problem, if i have drugs they must be eaten or taken, when i dont have drugs i scavange where i left some "just in case" but obviously there are none there because i've eaten them all before. its such a viscious cycle. if i were you give them to a fried or something.

this really shouldn't be in the OD section though.
 
Self control is the best choice, obviously, but if that fails:

Put them in an envelope and mail them back to yourself, you'll get them in a couple days. I read that on BL for how to save enough benzos for a little taper after a binge.
 
I always found doing that pretty difficult.. If I had something in my possession, I would use it, so I try not to buy anymore than I plan on using that way it's just not sitting there and screaming my name. I've learned a little bit more self control over the years so I can hold onto shit and not use it a lot better than I used to.. I'm kind of chipping on and off now so I'm able to sort of fight it off with just working a lot and doing other things.
 
It depends what the drug is I guess, but I've honestly always had horrible self control when it's come to my favorite drugs. For instance, I just CANNOT save cocaine for the life of me. No matter how much blow I buy at night, I never have any left for the morning. The only time I did, was due to the fact that I blacked out on xanax before I could use the coke. Heroin and Opiates are a little bit easier for me to space out, due to the fact that I know that I need a certain ammount to keep from being sick, so I've always managed to save at least one hit for the morning. I still have never been able to hold on to my DOC for three days without using it though...
 
My DOC is suboxone/subutex. Normally I would just put back anywhere from 360-720mg of dxm to help through those days.
But now for some weird reason, my body locks up and I have panic attacks on dex, so I can't use that anymore.
So on days tryin not to use I just pop a bunch of Ambien and Sonata and black-out in bed, so when I wake up, it's like I didn't have to deal with it.
Ergic-I thought about that, but what if my parents get it and see it suspicious, or someone working at the mail shop finds it and sends the cops to my house.
I have oxy and hydro and loperamide for when i blow myself dry.

Thanks guys, keep posting.

The obvious and healthy advice which help not only from taking drugs but pretty much everything in life is: DO SOMETHING! Occupy your mind with something you like, when you're deep in something useful you dont have time to think about drugs or anything bad. Find something you like to do, everybody has something, and do it until youre so tired you need to sleep. I love playing racing simulators on PC and it needs so much concentration that if I want to be good at it I need to take any drugs scarcely.

Doing things like mailing it to yourself or storing it at friends house can prevent you from physically taking the drug but they won't help your mind, your cravings.
 
Will power.. enough to look at your DOC while in withdrawals and not take it. I do it, you can too. I AM IN NO WAY SAYING ITS EASY.. took a lot of trial and error (error being getting high lol) but it is possible.
If you can't do it than give it to a close friend to give you to dose.

Bupe is the drug im talking about that i learned to not take even when i want it.. i only take it a couple times a week @ .5mg/dose.

I'm trying to taper down from 4mg daily. The past few days I've done 3mg, but the worst part is, is that the frustration of trying to ween myself off gets myself so eager and pumped up I sometimes just end up doing WAY more than intended because of the anxiety. So that's why I'm on here. Last weekend I spend 3 days at my sisters 250 mies away and I didn't have anything with me, so it was a good way to do this. I didn't pack my lope and got the shits like crazy, but had a great next two days. But what now?
 
Might as well title this one "how to keep from having sex with a bunch of super models who are horny for me and coming onto me constantly"....
