Trying trying trying to go out :@ Then on the day avoiding any whif of fun. Wtf is wrong with me. Some people can go out twice in a weekend and have no fucking social anxiety. Also @kiely I hope I didn't piss you off when I did the cat react to one of your posts. I've decided I'm going to go to a bush doof for my birthday even if I look and feel like an absolute weirdo. It's happening one way or another. I'm starting the first of (hopefully) many work placements this week. I just wish I could get my head around social situations more easily o_O

When's your BIRTHDAY ????

Well it's been about a few weeks since my last post I stopped the buprenorphine and used some Bromazepam and Pregabalin to mitigate the worst of the symptoms...and to my surprise, I had absolutely 0 withdrawal symptoms....for about 5 days. Then out of nowhere I had an entirely sleepless night full of restless legs, extreme depression and anxiety and cold sweats. Awful all around, and the day after that I relapsed first on Oxycodone, then bought some heroin, did that for a few days, then decided I am definitely not ready to be off opioids entirely, so I got back on subs.
I have a job now, so the routine of that helps a lot. I am still injecting subs occasionally, but this weekend I was sick and spent all of Saturday shooting up Ketamine, barely taking care of myself or my injection sites and am sort of worried about the state of my arms, the main reason being the only thing I did was wash my hands and arms before and after injecting, but didn't use any alcohol wipes or polysporin and also reused the same 5 syringes over and over...stupid and irresponsible I know. I should be okay though, no signs of any infection or anything yet, and since I feel slightly better today cold-wise I'm doing some cold and warm compresses and whatnot and will be going out to get some wipes and polysporin. My parents will be visiting soon, so my new plan is to taper off the subs while they are here and then jump off once they leave, then just stick to my job and routines and try again. Recovery is never smooth and I am well aware of that. I know I can do it this time, and even if in a month I make another post just like this one, I won't beat myself up about it.
As for the dose I am still down to 1mg-1.5mg of buprenorphine which is good, but on a few occasions after a long hard day at work I come home in pain and exhausted and double my dose...just gonna try to not do that in the future.

hehe thanks :D I made it a good day.

@krkkhed as long as you keep trying you haven't really failed. Keep at it! Congrats about the job also. Just try to use your relapse as a point of learning, and don't fall back into old habits. Or try not to :)

What's currently going on:

  • I'm going to marry in 5 days and become a wife at the age of just 18 - 23 (same as my future husband).
  • I'm addicted to mephenaqualone (RC-Quaaludes/RC-Lemon714) - basically the same as the original Methaqualone, except for the potency. I'm currently taking 3 - 6 pills per day (12mg - 24mg).
  • My fiancΓ© and I finally got our own loft, but it is still very close to our families because we both enjoy spending time with them.
  • I've started to take many supplements such as Vitamins A-Z, Magnesium, Calcium, etc., and also L-Dopa, L-Tyrosine, as well as Melatonin and 1-2 Caffeine pills.
  • I would say that 2024 was one of the best years of my life, but I must say that there wasn't really a bad year in my life. Maybe 2020 because of COVID, but I never had problems with depression, bullying, loneliness, etc.
  • I've started to study medicine and psychology this year. It's difficult, but my darling and family support me very much.
Overall: I would give my current life cycle a 9.25/10, meaning it was almost perfect, except for my addiction to the quaaludes.
Comparison to 2023: Definitely better. This year was a personal 8.5/10 in my opinion.

Wish you all a nice Christmas Eve and stay safe, Mana0909
 
I have been dosing but I have been getting headaches again too. I doubt if I will ever completely recover.
Time crushes on. I tried. So here I go. Keep on supporting. It does seem to help. Tremendously.
Bye.

Wow awesome news! You'll be good at Medicine/Psychology. Especially medicine I think. I've been feeling a bit down the last few weeks and something clicked- I hadn't been taking any proper vitamins/minerals for months. I've started taking Lion's Mane (Which helped a lot when I was quitting the meth), calcium, magnesium, multis, fish oil (which also really helps for me) and something called True Focus (Basically amino acids). I will get the L-Dopa soon I think. It did help a lot! Thanks for the brainwave πŸ‘. My year was a solid 9/10. A lot better than 2023. But still a lot of stuff I've had to work through. I've also lost some friends who haven't quit "that" lifestyle, so I've been a bit lonely. But hey *touches wood* hopefully 2025 will be a lot better.
 
recovery,,,idk man....i feel the years as go by....seems to me the same shit...but it's not....things are changin' constantly...me,u....anybody...quit two times two big shits this year...so some kinds sucessfull...many stress,but everybody is like that....now taskin tram....not scared me much,but very light albeit addictive sdrug....no pure codeine around,dhc-i thinklk not available...kratom-illegal,weeed-illegal....ain't got many options....and alcohol here is like.....somethin good...it's ok to drink....even a lot......even some at work.....far more bigger burden for society herer

Thank you so much for your supportive words.


Normally (I don't want to go into detail), people are always writing about how bad their life is and how depressed they are, etc. I've experienced that a lot on other forums and social media, which always made me annoyed because "why are you sharing this here? Why not go to a doctor, family, or friends?" But they always found the lamest excuses for everything, and most (95%) just want attention. But reading comments like yours, that actually spread good things in this world and wish me, my husband, etc., a good life, just shows that you are a very pure, mature, stable, and self-aware person who always stands for the things they say and mean, which I respect deeply.

It's nice hearing that you try out supplements like "L-Tyrosine" and "L-Dopa." I would recommend taking 200-300mg of L-Dopa because that's the dose that worked the best for me, so that's only subjective. My husband actually needs around 15-20% more of each substance and supplement to have the same effect as me, which makes sense considering that he is male and I'm female, meaning our bodies and so many other things work and are different. I'm pretty slim and small (155cm), while my husband is 181cm tall and has a well-trained body, which are probably the two reasons why my husband needs more. I'm also half Asian, and it's known that metabolism can be different in Asians, but I don't have a clue about that, at least not right now.


Anyways, it's also very good to hear that you quit meth. I don't want to judge you or anyone because I'm addicted to Quinazolinones (Meth/Mephenaqualone) myself, but methamphetamine is such a toxic substance, especially for your neurons. It can literally destroy them and cause never-ending muscle spasms and many other horrible things, so I hope that you don't have any disabilities because of that devil's substance. I can recommend "Phenibut" if it's legal in your country. It's sadly illegal in my country since 2023, but in my opinion, it's the second-best drug after Quaaludes and their analogues.

It feels like a light to moderate dose of benzodiazepines (comparable to 10mg of Diazepam) while on the other side, causing moderate to intense euphoria. It doesn't make you sleepy like benzos do; no, it even increases your focus and motivation. But when you get in bed, you can sleep like a stone. However, I have to warn you, it's very addictive, and the withdrawal has been reported to be almost as hard as a benzo withdrawal, so only take it in emergency situations. I can also recommend Ashwagandha and CBD. Other supplements are GABA and Melatonin. They are, in my opinion, not as strong as CBD and Ashwagandha, but still can be helpful.


I truly hope that you will find peace and destroy your loneliness in the upcoming year. Your personal training already sounds amazing. I also wish you the best in finding the perfect girlfriend/boyfriend for you, a person who will always stay loyal and faithful, as well as support you and never leave your side. You truly deserve it.

Have an amazing Christmas Eve and stay safe, Mana0909
 
I've been sober from alcohol for 4 months. My world has changed. I feel so healthy, both physically and mentally, I really feel like a new person. It honestly brought me to tears the other night. I had been an alcoholic for so long, I literally forgot what feeling normal was like. My longest dry period before this was only 12 days, with 5 of those days being in detox. So 4 months is a huge achievement for me.

I've had so many stressful things occur over the last few months. Financial stress, cars breaking down, health scares, familial issues, etc, which all really pushed the limit on my strength and conviction to stay sober. Somehow I made it through, and was rewarded because over the last month I have had so many blessings and favors which turned everything around for me. I truly cannot even remember the last time I have felt this happy and secure before. It feels like real Christmas magic.

My New Year's resolution is to keep this going. 2025 is the year of my rebirth. Let's fuckin' gooooooooo!!!!!!!!!

I love all of you and wish everyone has something good happen this Christmas.
