32yo male. I have been struggling with addiction since early teens, starting with weed and then the standard escalating decent into harder drugs.

I started smoking at 17 amd have been IV'ing for the last 4 "live by the sword, die by the sword". I wish I never used a needle. When people say "its a different monster" dont take it lightly, it has been a true down fall for myself and anyone else i know who has wondered down that prickly path.

Im stuck in the loop of every day  GHB, ice and  benzo addiction..also gambling. All 4 seem to seem to be working together to keep me bogged down in this crippling battle of addiction. I'm struggling to connect with anyone with a similar cocktail of daily use.

Has anyone out there been in the same leaky boat? And made it back to land? SOS

Not me, but can you quit gambling?

Long, long, long time ago I iv’d MDA not only did I get a rush from the drug I enjoyed the needle as well.

My two cents is look at the cycle of addiction and learn how to reset the cycle to the beginning without using or gambling.

Benzodiazepines don’t manipulate the reward pathway so that one imho is not addictive and i know there are plenty of people that believe benzodiazepines are addictive.. they certainly are physically dependent.

You need to come off the benzodiazepines safely. The Meth and gambling pretty much comes down to addiction.

The Ghb is almost assuredly both.. i don’t have much personal experience to go off but given its gaben and you have the benzodiazepines to deal with as well your going to have to figure out how to do this safely.

How do you accomplish the impossible.. split it into easily accomplished tasks and then start nocking them out..
