how do you curb your cravings?

i'm buying a half ounce of pot on friday, but since i've been off opiates the days are so slow and boring.... not going out to score, not doing anything at all really is really fucking boring.

any tips?

well for me, i cut cravings for anything by making it unavailable completely. you know your opiates are just a phone call away so its constantly on your mind.

at the peak of my heroin addiction i decided to come off, and move back home to my "motherland" of israel (hence my username). there, opiates are pretty much unavailable on the street. drug addiction there is very rare in general, most people dont smoke weed even. its great. i was clean for over a year, and then what happened when i came home to New York for a visit? "ehh i'll just get a bag for fun im only back for 2 weeks". then what happened? i relapsed and did heroin every single day for those 2 weeks.

i think the first step to beating an addiction is cutting off all connections with the drug. meaning deleting the dealers and users out of your phone, or anyone who could help you get it. and if you got the money, move the fuck away. start a clean slate. opiates ruined my life for a short while, made me into a shit person. i stole jewelry and money from my own fucking family. i didnt care about anything, just drugs.

so i moved away, far. and because the drug wasn't even available, i stopped thinking about it. it made me address the issues that were the root of my addiction and start fixing them.

with that being said, i dont know what direct advice to give you but just gather whatever you can from my rant above. good luck bro
 
i cant move away. and i have another addict living in my house, he's not going anywhere either.

i guess im looking for a replacement.

well there's your answer, your roommates not helping at all. thats like trying to be faithful to your girlfriend but having a 10/10 sexy roommate walking around in her panties all day.

you need to get away from drugs completely, at least until you're sober and stable at being sober. move back in with your parents if you have no where to go even, you dont wanna go back to doing dope do you?

if you dont mind me asking, how bad was your addiction?
 
What interests did you have before using and what did you enjoy? They're the things you want to concentrate on. Break your day up and devote the times to things that you like doing and things you need to do. When you stop using you have more time on your hands so you have to find things to do.

No, i really do want to go back to doing dope, i just dont want to be an addicted dope fiend. so no dope for me.
 
like what the one guy said.. try deleting your dealers numbers.

OP as far as hobbies, do you surf? surfing helps me tremendously but here in jersey we are lucky if we get waves once a week but i find myself obsessing over the forecast, checking cams, and breaks etc. its a healthy and fun obsession/ hobby. it says you live in cali thats a great place to learn if you don't already

i live 2 hours from the ocean, and 4 hours from any where that you can surf.
 
I started using kratom to deal with my heroin cravings because I felt close to going back to h. Kratom is addictive, too, but it killed the h cravings. Probably not an ideal solution, but that's me. At times, I've dealt with cravings by trying to think through the consequences of using h again, and then just riding it out. It was getting bad lately though, hence the kratom. Is the person you live with using opiates (your drug of choice)? I myself find it impossible to live with a using heroin addict and not use myself, so I understand where you're coming from with that.
 
I am on suboxone, and I relapse all the time. I constantly have cravings, and yes boredom is a huge part of it. My advice: find something to do. Make new friends, volunteer, anything that keeps you busy, until you find something that catches your interest. One thing that helps me stay clean (when I do) is staying busy. Try to find friends in recovery. I am so not into aa/na but I go because I have made awesome friends there. People who know the struggle, but are clean. Best of luck to you I really wish the best its so hard to stay away from.
By the way I also have addicts in the house.
go see live music! If you cant, any kind of music helps me so much!
 
I am sorry if being brutally transparent may upset you, but IMO - you are not done using. That rock bottom everyone talks about - you have not reached it. There is no such thing as a "boring" day. There are simply boring people that do not know how to entertain themselves properly.

At the end of the day: the euphoria your brain has felt - it was never designed to handle. Nothing else in life will come close to that. But things to get better. The main driving factor behind sobriety for myself is setting goals - short and long term. You must have something else that makes you tick. Something that, sober or not, you can enjoy unconditionally. For me it is bodybuilding. I lift heavy weights fucked up or not and I believe that has aided me greatly.

I was a heroin addict for 2 years. Detoxed several times in jail against my will, obviously, and got right back to using. The moment that I decided that I was DONE my whole perception changed. I had, at that point, built up a 10 gram a day habit (smoked). With that being said, it was easier than any other detox. The reason being: my mind was made up. Everyone is different, of course. IMO the reason I kept relapsing until that final detox was because in the back of my mind dope was always an option. As soon as that option got eliminated, my mind was set free and I could move on. I am not sure if that particular set of psychomechanics may be plaguing you at the moment in the form of cravings....

On a lighter note: It is completely possible to turn negative energy into positive. Kind of like your opponent rushing you and you simply moving out of the way and guiding him with your hands, bringing him down by using his own energy against him. You can do that with your addiction. If you take the exact same effort and dedication you had towards being a dope fiend, and apply it to anything useful in life such as a job or school - you will witness wonders before your eyes. It is my theory that dopefiends are potentially some of the best businessmen/women out there. They get money out of thin air and always some how manage to score and get well...against all odds.... IF you take that and use it towards a positive endeavor, you will quickly climb the ranks and achieve greatness.

God bless. Peace be with us all.
