If you have any ideas or tips to help me passing through the first days clean. I've flushed all my stach today! trying to be clean again... anyone can help??????
PS: i.ving coke every day for tre months and using marijuana, benzos and alcohol.
 
keepin yourself busy is a pretty big one. makin sober friends, working, meditation, writing, research, exercise, really just any sober activity to keep your mind occupied and focused away from all that shit, you know? drink water and try to eat healthy. these are just kind of the basics.
 
When im in w/ds i literally cant phsyically or mentally do anything so i dont know how you people "get up and do something". For me it's either lying in bed attempting to sleep, or just crunched up in a fetal position constantly thinking of how shitty everything is and how much I feel like shit, etc.

sorry, that sucks. tranquilisers might help (???). I dont know, sometimes the hard way ends up being the only way, or the best way. I've never been physically hooked on any drug besides Xanax. worst experience of my life...got more, then...well then I went to a detox center for that. :\
 
^ He's right. Stay off drug-related websites, delete all the good numbers, and, most importantly, find real friends. Let these friends know what's up with you, and let them know you need their support.

You won't find anything mentally fulfilling for a minute. Don't panic. Everyhting will come back, for sure.

Peace

I feel the same way!! Georgie... All these people are probably right, but its the last thing you want to do...
 
thank you all for the advices... in the last 3 months i've been using lots of cocaine (i.v $ snorting a little), almost every day, and for the comedowns i use at least 4 tabs of 2mgs klonopin. I use klonopin or lexotan (bromazepam) every day too, in large doses for at least 8 months (except the three months in this period i stayed totaly clean, N.A way). the last few pills i had in my hands, i flushed trough the toilet again today. I can't stand this situation anymore, and i'm ready to do something about it, starting today. Because if i keep telling myself : "tomorow i'll change..." It's clear enough for me, right now, that tomorow never comes. The worst part of beeing an drug addict is that i don't know anymore the diference between my greatest plesure and my worst misery, them both have the same face: drugs... Again i'd like to thank you all for the support.
Ps: sorry for my poor english.

Yes, i agree with you both... when you're heavily addicted like i am, at least in the first week or two, i know i'm gonna feel like shit, and will be hard to get off my bed... But i can't give up! it's about my life!
Lord plz give me the strength !!
Ps: i'm no religious or catholic... yet...
 
find a good girl (non adict of course) is the better way to stay clean, a girl who knows your problem and wants to help you...and real desire, strong will, maybe NA, a child...
 
Hey, good luck with your decision to quit. Are there any activities that you liked to do but that you stopped because of drugs? People you miss? Things that need to be taken care of?

I think being engaged in life is essential for overcoming an addiction. Don't pressure yourself to figure everything out right away, but let yourself find what it is you enjoy doing :)
 
dude that is A LOT of klonopin, you cant just stop that cold turkey. Hopefully you can get more before you have a siezure.
 
^This is true. It is dangerous to quit such a high dose of benzos cold turkey like that. There are a number of side effects- The best way to go is to taper down.

Way to go on your decision to go clean! It is a hard thing but you've been given some great advice so far...... I would throw in, finding your triggers and eliminating them from your life. The advice you were given to keep busy is super important! Keeping yourself busy is enormously helpful. :)

Lots of luck and please keep us posted on your progress!!
 
well you have already taken the first step into quitting by realizing that you have a problem with drugs and you are seeking help thats a good start.

don't be afraid to ask questions about withdrawll symptoms and ways to counteract them,
I'm currently trying to quit Meth, and I have had a major slip up this week I've been awake since tuesday. but i can accept that this is a common thing to have a slip up, and don't beat yourself up if you do slip up. I will do better in the future. I stay positive that i'm going to be off meth completely by the end of next year. and if i'm not, i told my parents that they have to send me to rehab if i'm still constantly using. thats a decision i made myself.

just remember, you are not alone. Thats why these forums exist.

i'm not to knowledgeable on the drugs you want to stop using, But there are other people here who can help. keep yourself positive no matter what.

where there is a will, there is a way :-)
