Hello my name is Joshua and I am an addict. Of all the things in the world as far as illegal narcotics are concerned I have done my share. I can't say I've done it all but I do know I have done more than enough. Something as simple as cigarettes I can put down for weeks at a time without the craving that most people get. I don't feel like I have an addictive personality as I can let most things go without a lust for a return trip.
However their is one thing that has taken a grip on my mind and body for the last few years. No it isn't Heroin it isn't Cocaine or it's evil twin "Quack". It's not Methamphetamines or that new MDMA stuff. Not even close, something so simple yet in plain sight of every day shoppers. I am of course referring to the Cold Medicine Epidemic which I myself am a part of and wish to find a solution to end it so others well not have to go through what I've gone through.
The active ingredient Dextromethorphan in most modern cold medicines is the same ingredient kids use to get high on AKA Robo Tripping Some reading this will know very little on the subject others maybe more than they would like to tell. And than their is the one's like myself caught up somewhere in between. I do not classify myself as an expert by any means. I am only specimen to a crazy experiment that got way out of control. Starting at the age of around 13-14 I had my first booze party with no adverse side effects just a few kids with 2 Half Gallons of Vodka and Plenty of Orange Juice to go around, it was fun and I had no cravings or withdrawal symptoms I mean come on it was only 2 nights of heavy drinking for the first time. After I'd say a few months worth of not doing anything (Drugs) I came upon the introduction of Marijuana. And of course becoming a stoner. After that came the thing that still haunts me to this day... "The Medicine". Instantly fell in love with the stuff it was like a psychedelic that you could get at just about any grocery store or pharmacy. Of course being young and trying stupid shit I got hooked onto it without realizing all the extra ingredients in with the DXM (Dextromethorphan) mostly Acetaminophen and Guaifenesin doing even more damage to my liver, kidneys, etc...
Fast forward I'm 21 of age now and can legally drink and smoke to which this day I do. But the problem isn't the smoking or the drinking I can put down the beer and the cigarettes for days even weeks there is just no craving but I do most thoroughly enjoy them. The real problem is this DXM shit pardon my French. I hate it so much it has cost me numerous jobs, vehicles, and relationships. As I am typing this I am still feeling the effects of a large dose I took a few hours ago after being a couple days sober from the stuff (Not including beer). I have read multiple accounts on this matter on this very sight hence the reason why I am now a member. I really just need some support some people I can count the days gone by until I'm free of this nightmare and my brain chemistry can possibly go to being close to normal if such a thing exist or is at least obtainable. I do know one thing, getting of this junk would allow me to see and think clearly like I used to be able to. But now its like there is a fog over my brain waves disrupting my thoughts, thinking, and just general life matters. I will never be at peace with myself until I rid this demon from me, I've been fighting it for years alone and now I am coming out and looking for help.
I think I need help, I know I need help, please help me, So I can go on to help others as is my purpose in life for which I believe in.
P.S. The only reason I'm not smoking Marijuana is due to not being able to obtain a decent job in this society even though it is the most harmless of the narcotics in my opinion.
