Ice advise, am i addicted??

[Estar]

Hi Bluelight,

I have been puffing ice most mornings before work and at lunch time for about 3 weeks now. Still sleeping everynight, (not much, however at least 4 hours) still going to work still doing everything normal, however LOVE waking up in the morning and having a huge breakfast (Well a huge burn) I actually get excited to wake up, because I know once I puff I will be RIGHT AWAKE!

I know what I am doing is really bad and I have seen friends go down the same path. I should really stop now before I get addicted, however I enjoy it to much and dont want to becuase I dont think I am at the point where I need to. Or maybe I am?

Also having a plung of GHB once the come down starts to hit, from the ice, is the most UNREAL feeling.

I am a smart girl, I should pull my head in before I start fucking up. I only ever use to puff ICE and do G on the weekend. Then one Monday before work I had a puff so I wouldnt fall asleep and feel like crap for the day. Then always thought it was acceptable to do on a Monday after a big weekend. Now Everyweekend is a big weekend. And Every morning I am puffing.

This use to be a social thing, now I enjoy doing it more by myself. I can see this becoming a problem, but I dont think I am at that stage yet.

Please let me know what I should do! Of course I know I should just stop, however need some advise from someone who has ever has been in this situation.

Plus I always need to burp and nothing comes out. Is this called anything?? It fucking kills.

So my question is - Does it only take 3 weeks to get addicited to ICE??

I would say that yes you are definitely addicted. Methamphetamine ('Ice') is, in my opinion, the most addictive drug out there on the streets. I'd say it's just slightly more addictive than heroin/morphine.

I think you should stop while you still can because this drug is creeps up on you slowly and is very insidious. It will ravage your body and destroy your mind. It will drive you to insanity. Once you get hard into it, which usually is the result, it will take everything from you. My DOC is heroin/morphine, but for a year I switched habits and took up crystal meth. It was the WORST year of all of my drug years and I have been on drugs since 1998. I did things that I never did when I was just shooting up heroin or any other opiates. I finally stopped using it because I ended up in the hospital from near heart failure and severe psychosis after being up for nearly 2 weeks just doing crystal and going insane.

This is the stuff of evil, it's what drove Adolf Hitler insane - that says a lot about methamphetamine.

Take kokaino's word for it! I have only had the opportunity to do this drug twice. And the second time I recall it being the most amazing drug I have ever done! Considering my list is very extensive. I thank the dear sweet lord for not giving me access to this drug after that most amazing experience! So if u find urself doing it first thing in the morning yes u most certainly are addicted. Stop while you can!!! Like you said your a smart girl and you yourself know that you may be getting in over your head. Take a step back and ask yourself if you want to continue on the destructive path or go the right way and continue to be a 'normal part of society'. Trust me it's not fun anymore when u need that morning fix just to function and feel normal.

i was taking amphetamine daily and after the end of a month long binge i was wrecked, physically and mentally. i was sleeping at night.

take a week off work and dont take any ice, say you have the flu or some shit to cover your tracks because the first day that shit is really out of your system you wont be getting out of bed. cut it out or watch your life and your health blow away like a crisp packet in the wind...

Insidious is possibly the best word to describe meth. Meth is the freakin' devil. Opiates are my preference too, but I also went through a period where I took up meth. When I started, it was great - like a really wonderful romance. Things completely spiraled out of control before I even knew what had happened - it just crept up on me suddenly.

I still cringe about the things that I did during that period of my life, I can't handle listening to the same music that I listened to during that period of my life, and to this day I hate dawn and the sound of birds in the morning.

From my personal experience, I tried meth a few months ago and smoke for 3 days straight, and after that I thought about it everyday for a week or two, wanting to smoke it again, and to me that just shows you have addicited meth can me, and I havent touched it again. Its one of the few drugs that scare me to do, because I dont think I could stop, if I started again.

Estar,the scenario , or more so the path you describe is near identicle to my story,that has turned into a fucken nightmare..Same deal as you,would hurt mondays from massive week end,but was cheaper to hit the glass then to miss a day of work..and its snowballed very quickly.

I justified my use to myself by the fact that i worked and was fully functioning..wasnt fully tweeking,just enough to charge through the day.

Next think i was disassociating myself from people to smoke,and was glad that my friends werent calling me.

Your mind and body are well and trully addicted by now..Like pofacedho said, youll need some time off work.you will sleep the first 2days, and have trouble getting up ,trouble getting motivated and the only thing on your mind will be that dirty shit..

You're at the fork ,or the split in the road to your addiction getting out of hand.dont let your mind give you excuses and reasons to keep going.its a fucken terrible drug.. Ive just hit rock bottom,lost apartment,lost independance,respect,and most of all my fiance..in a matter of 3months...

HEAVE THE WARNINGS AND THE SIGNS--bail out now

This alone should answer your question.

Oh and addiction can take place within less than 3 weeks. Each person is different.

I think I have made the first steep, I gave my pipe to someone who is alot older and wiser, whilst there was still 1 point frozen in it. I fucking wish I didnt now because I havnt had any all day and feel so tired.

What is the next steep, I cannot take time off work. My job is to important! I basically started taking it because I was doing so well at work.

With regars to your friend situation, I am in a the spot. My closes friends who I went to school with, think that I dont have the time of day for them anymore. When in fact its because I think there borning. Not boring in that sense because I love them to death, however i am would reath be with my other friends who are always fucked up.

What is the next steep? Does anyone take G? I really feel like a plung of G to get me out of this horrible mood, however I guess that defets this whole purpose!

Am not look forward to work tomorrow! Could this all just be in my brain? I feel like my life is going to be boring now that I have stoped puffing. (WOW whole of one day)

- I also have a guy that I am seeing who is in a way worse place than me, however getting juice and puffing with him is the best. Recently he was getting really bad not just with ICE but also with GHB. Also works full time, he had to go away for a while and the whole time he was away and was really messed up, I was helping him through his. I was kinda really said when he went because we always got Juice and I would always puff on a Monday then come see him after work and get juice again. The adventures we would have!!!

It makes me upset, because I know its not right to puff and do G everyday but I think my life will be boring without it.

So I guess the question is, what the hell is the next stepp. Also can I just go back to puffing and doing G on the weekend??

Thanks heaps for the advise guys...

gbl/ghb is another vicious addiction. get that guy out of your life. he's a mess and will drag you down.

meth withdrawl will be boring because meth makes you feel like even the most boring task is interesting. therfore without it there is a lack of pleasure and interest.

you NEED to take time off work for a pretend illness, get a doctors note and fake it. everyone is ocassionally ill and its less frowned upon to take a week off than to take the odd day here and there repeatedly. if you go in they will know something is up and its harder to play off speed withdrawl as an illness as it would say opiate withdrawls.

you need to go to bed for a week and get a few valiums so you have an appetite and put some of that weight back on that you are probably not even aware that you have lost. look in the mirror without any clothes and it will probably shock you. it did to me.

good luck and make an effort to help yourself. you will probably relapse repeatedly, i did, but each time my binges were shorter and the gaps between them got longer. thats the way to heal.

i'm so glad i'm not where you are at, its a fucking struggle but it will only get harder the longer you leave it- you have been warned!

Yes, the whole subculture surrounding methamphetamine is disgusting. It's almost evil in a way. A person can get post-traumatic stress disorder from witnessing some of the shit that goes on in that drug subculture. It's absolutely depraved, sexually perverted, degenerate, scary, vile, shameless, and vicious.
