Addiction When does it get better?

Just as amazing as I remembered it all those other times. The bet way I can describe snorting 2cb is like LSD crack. I like to think of dmt as shrooms crack especialaly around how real it feels and that general tryptamine immersion.. While with 2cb it feels 'plastered' or not as deep into my vision and my mind, absolutely amazing psych especially with MDMA

Hey man, the stash pics are not exactly appropriate for this sub forum, as this is a recovery support subforum, and stuff like that is triggering for some, and just not on topic for the scope of Health and Recovery. Not a big deal but we try to refrain from glorifying or graphically depicting use in the recovery support sections. Similarly, the content of this post isn't really what this subforum is for.

I'm going to remove those posts for now. They can either stay deleted and this thread stays in Health & Recovery, or I can move this thread to Drug Culture and you can leave the pictures up. Just let me know.

Ran into this thread while searching for answers, and even though it's a year old, that raw honesty about sobriety feeling worse than the highs hits deep. Most people sugarcoat the 3-month mark, but the mental exhaustion and shot dopamine levels are completely real, not just a lack of willpower.

Traditional rehab programs or talk therapy felt useless until looking at addiction strictly from a brain chemistry standpoint. Dealing with Dr. Ash Bhatt shifted everything because the focus went straight to fixing underlying neurochemical deficiencies through actual medical bloodwork rather than just pushing fake positivity. Getting a tailored clinical plan based on data, rather than moral speeches, is honestly what makes the difference when you feel like you have zero control over the cravings.

Hitting 2 months now without hard drugs. I made the personal decision to give my finances over to a loved one because a lot of people were getting worried about my use and I was starting to see real personal damage to my social life. Haven't touched anything since beside booze and weed bur every day I think about the moment when I flip what I said and convince everyone, then starting using drugs again. I think constantly about the moments in my life that far exceeded sobriety and not the times where the damage caused has near ruined my life. I'm nearing 3 months 'sober' and I will likely be getting access to my account and saved paychecks again soon but I know for a fact I will just buy drugs again when that happens. Is there any real way to get past this? I can't imagine not thinking about using near constantly and I feel like I have no control over these desires no matter what programs I attend and what specialists I speak to. Is there really a point in trying to stop if life is worse than the constant up-and-down highs and comedowns I'm used to?

Well you just openly and bravely admitted it here, so that’s something. It’s time to sack up and decide if you want another ride that ends up with you on your ass, or if you want to tell your family your concerns.

And I know it’s just a recycled phrase here but seriously- your support needs to be more than blue light. AA, Na whatever A, or any group you need the social aspect to help hold you up!
