I always have the hardest time rationing my drugs. I always end up taking it all at once, or keep re-dosing till i'm all out :X . How do you ration your drugs so you don't go through all your shit in one night?
 
ooh man i wish ud had some replies cos i want some answers to this too.

With benzos ive just never been succesful with this.

Once with Coke I made my housemate hide a load of it and that worked quite well, but apart from that the only drugs i can ration are salvia and LSD for obvious reasons lol.

I obtained 80 30mg DHC and 30 5mg Diazepam yesterday and was very close to using them all up in one night but i fell asleep. Now ive woken up ive rinsed most of the rest lool.

(Feels fuckin great tho!)

Hope u get some answers m8 cos i need severe help with this one too! :)

a monthly psych appointment helps keep me in check, going through benzo wd will make you think twice about upping your dosage too often.

don't get me wrong, I still mess up from time to time but getting prescriptions for the meds I really need is what has helped me. I used to buy rx meds on the street and when I ran out I'd be useless, then I realized the reason I liked those meds so much was because I was self medicating real medical issues, that's when the psych came into the picture, I didn't even have to ask for the drugs I needed.. She diagnosed me accurately and I get what I need at the pharmacy.

It's still an ongoing struggle, but I'm better at it than I used to be and I attribute most of this to getting professional help.
 
The pharmacy helps me ration my drugs, they only give me a 30-day supply every 30 days.

Otherwise its just matter of leaving certain amounts of the drugs in question in a safe place locked in a safe box.
 
Sometimes I'll just buckle down and play hard ball with myself -- just pretend that the drugs have run out this week. Next week I'll have them back. It works most of the time.

Another thing to try is eat a large meal and then rationalize your way out of taking drugs by insisting to yourself that the high wouldn't be as good now because you just ate (full stomach), or if its in the evening tell yourself you wouldn't have enough time to enjoy the high because it's 8:00pm, and may as well just go to bed. This one works well too.
 
I like the pharmacy answer the best. Once you blow through your scripts a few times then have to suffer from withdrawals for a few weeks before your refill, eventually you will have a good talk with yourself and weigh the benefit of having one week of fun then three weeks of wd's. Obviously this only applies to prescriptions, but the concept can be used across the board, its called self control and while many people suffer from the inability to ration their doc, hence the reason for this thread, sometimes you either have to be called out, or more likely call yourself out!

This is crazily oversimplified but the choice is solely yours, not the drug, not your environment, etc. Take control and responsibility for your actions and ration how you see fit, then stick to it. When and if you can't, then you're an addict. Im not speaking directly to the op when i say you or your, just using a general term, not trying to be an ass.

I like this. I think i'll try the first one, pretending theres none left. i'm pretty good at deceiving myself.
 
I never enjoyed being "overly" fucked up. I much prefer just a chill feeling, I only do opiates really, never gave benzos a shot. I enjoy just relaxing a little, and I tend to do very little at a time. I am more of your weekend warrior, and honestly like two or three points of decent H will last me all weekend.
 
Find atm card...get moneys...get substances...burn atm card...wait for new one in the mail...rinse and repeat
 
Yess Whipped Dream i like yours

And what i do if i even do have extra drugs around when i dose and then a couple hours later or whatever i feel like i need more then i will just smoke a bunch of weed

Weed seems to help me with everything including limiting my alcohol consumption because sometimes im just lookin for an altered state of mind ya know
 
I had the pharmacy give me a weeks worth at a time. My Dr, would write the Rx for a weeks worth of meds and it works very well. At the worst I would have 1 or 2 days without anything but I knew I had my meds every week. It worked great! I too would blow thru them in a week and thats no fun so the weekly Rx is deff the way to go if you have a self controll issue like I do.
 
That is really smart lmc422, and im not attempting to highjack this thread, but i have always wondered what exactly goes on in one's mind that makes them go the street route the first time? There are many people that are just plain too scared to do it, or wouldnt know how, but everyone that has done it obviously had a first time, and I have always wondered exactly how that decision was made.

When you say "street route," do you mean buying drugs from the street? I'd say the answer here is easy, accessibility and exposure. Drugs are accessible nearly everywhere, and are extremely easy to obtain. Dealers care about money, and money only, and they aren't checking IDs ;). Exposure in the since from a young age you hear about drugs, and by the time you've known a decent amount of people, you're sure to have had friends who have been using. Curiosity killed the cat, and it is normal human nature to want to try out new things. Once you've experienced the joy, it's a whole different ball game. Lets also not forget it is generally much easier to go to the street and score rather than trying to see a doctor and bullshit for something. With the way narcotics are regulated, your chances of getting anything decent are slim to none if you don't have a serious condition, which at that point getting high is the least of your concerns.
 
WARNING: LONG AMPHETAMINE-INDUCED RANT ABOUT NOTHING PARTICULARLY INTERESTING

yea... Well i couldn't resist and rationalized blowing the rest of the adderall i had. but my friend still owes me 3 more and i have a special occassion coming up this saturday (first date with this girl i met, going with her and her mom to their farm) and so it kind of works out because i told him to give it to me saturday. but i'm thinking about just seeing if he'll give it to me today or tomorrow because i am not sure if i want to be kinda tweaked when meeting her mom the first time. the girl herself has never drunk or done any drugs and she knows i have an addiction and wants me to recover. she thinks i'm actually trying to recover... i feel dirty. but yea she told her mom about my addiction so she knows i do drugs (or did drugs) so she might be looking for that kinda stuff like sniffles and dialated eyes (though im not sure if my eyes dialate when on adderall. i know they did when i slammed meth (which i know that it is alot more potent than dexamph but i only slammed tiny bits at a time because i didn't want to fuck up and OD) so they might when i'm on adderall i never really check. oh wait yeah they do cause i remember in 8th grade i would be fucked up on adderall every other day and my pupils were pretty big)... i don't know where i was going with this... fuck. oh right, yeah so the only reason i was considering railing some before going out saturday was so i'd have a little more self confidence and be a little more outgoing. Which i think i will probably do so that way i make a decent first impression. i have no fucking idea. :p
 
Yes, by street i meant through illegal routes. I guess by nature i am so scared of the legal consequences (hence my job and what i have seen) that i have always been intrigued by exactly what made different people go that route. Thanks

The legal consequences are what is keeping me from delving into street drugs head-first. I couldn't afford to get caught. I'd lose everything I've spent decades trying to obtain.

So I just be honest with my Doc - and he's been very understanding. Sitting in the waiting room for 45 minutes beats a felony drug charge hands down.
