SWIM is high right now. He just finished work and decided to swing past the midnight pharmacy for a box of codeine. He did 200mg plus a few hits of his weed pipe.
He describes this high as being the greatest feeling in the world with almost zero effort. SWIM can plainly see now why he would get addicted to H from only one hit.
While the physical pleasure IS good, it's almost the clearness and boldness that feels more addictive. SWIM loves that feeling of euphoria combined with an all round sense of peace with oneself and the world around him. But here's the clincher: SWIM refuses to socialise in this state of mind because deep inside he feels like a dirty junkie.
In this state of mind SWIM only associates with other junkies or people with much much lower social status than himself.
This is kinda why I wanted to go to rehab but the bloke who assessed me explained that this particular kind of inpatient rehab aims to help those whose lives have become so dysfunctional due to excessive drug and alcohol use, in other words you have to be a homeless junkie or willing to become one to get it.
I want to get at the root of this problem and I wanted to do it inpatient style. Sorry I guess I've seen a lot of movies but I want one of those mental health wards where I'm surrounded by other's all seeking help plus nursing staff and doctors... sorry dribbling..
I think hynotherapy or intense psychiatry sessions could be something worth exploring, when I get the cash together (or health insurance maybe hmm) I know they sometimes give you sedatives to relax you and allow you to open up more to the therapist. HAH that so sounded like drug seeking behaviour at work in the mind.
On the lighter side I've heard doctors are experimenting somewhere acrosss the globe using MDMA and LSD in therapy session. We'd be talking EXTREMELY low dose of both, particularly acid of course but hmm, gives me ideas

I'll source some liquid acid or chalk (pure mdma powder) then go hit up the therapists tee hee.
