Drug Sabbatical Support & Appreciation Thread

Status
Not open for further replies.
My alcohol consumption lately has become as much of a problem as any phases of drug abuse I've gone through. Probably been drinking daily for 2 weeks, most days minimum of 5-7 pints. On the heavier ones pints, 10+ shots. Last night at one point I was buying 3 shots a round for myself and now I really have been suffering today. Was absolutely awesome banter and one of the best nights I've ever had because of the people involved but I'm too addicted to going to the pub every day. When I'm sober I get people talking to me in the street about stupid things I was doing in town, but I have no idea who they are or recollection of how I know them.

Think I can kick the booze fairly easy, had minor W/D's earlier I think and I'm preying this pain in my lower stomach/back is gone in the morning. Thought I was gonna piss kidney stones or something when I went to pee. I do far too many daft things when drunk aswell, totally unreliable and predictable, hilarious and genius banter but definately need to can it before it's another thing I can't go near. Don't want to look like an alkie either.

Been cramming myself full of milk thistle, homemade soup, water, laxatives, cups of tea etc anything that you would of thought could have helped, not much difference at all. Tomorrow I'm gonna get back to healthy food, I've somehow kept up my exercise regime around all this drinking but it will be less effective because of the boozing I assume. I'll be pissed off if I don't last at least 3 weeks off it after this. No more fags either, yuck.
 
Doing my best to stay away from the evil elixer tonight. When I awoke I noticed my abdomen didn't feel quite right... :\
 
^^^^
Thanks for asking Joe

Its day 6 and I'm stilll on plan, like last time I'd only really been useing dialy for about 3 months, but dosages had gotten towards 200MGs (this is based in non legit 5mgs pills so I have no real way of knowing the actual amount).

I started at the taper at 100Mgs a day which was harsh, but I'm now stable on 150mgs of Venlafxaine a day, I havent been using at the high level for that long and Diaz is quite forgiving with its long half life.

I've been on 90Mgs for the last couple of days and its OK, I've certainly not had any severe WDs but then I wouldnt expect top whilst still taking it at this level.

Obviously with being on the Venlafaxine I've got anxiety and depresion issues anyway and temporarily loosing my CBT supprt isnt helping, they decided the phone support thing wasnt working as well as they'd hoped ( no shit Sherlock, I asked for face to face from the start ) so I'm on the waiting list.

Once I've finshed the taper......this time I'll clear out all my stocks, "keep them for a rainyday" !!!....what am I like, I'm shit at lying to opthers but great when it comes to lting to myself...how does that work?..guess nI'll have to ask the shrink:)
 
Well done mate.You seem really determined to do it so keep it up mate.The rainy day idea has gotten me back to square one many a time as it makes it hard to let go of the obsession.Those benzos really are a sneaky snake of a drug.I go to a private Psychologist/Psychotherapist on a weekly/fortnightly basis and he is really in tune with me and its very helpful.I feel happy this morning for the first time in a while looking out at the frost on the grass out the back garden and the blue sky.Best of luck:D

Joe90 this thread is here for harm reduction by practise, however easy or difficult that is for any of us there's no judgement here. If you can be asked read it from the beginning.

The first step is the hardest....the concept wasn't never about abstinence for ever more, but managing our love of recreational substances so they don't hurt us and our people so much.



My hubby advises me right now I'm not best places to be posting here :\ jucking men

The spirit of the post carried through clearly & that's what matters

but I can totally relate to when it comes to having a main buddy/sidekick/partner who's a non drugtaker. Mine's pretty much tea total aswell [oh the horror!], and not having a drinking buddy sucks big style for me. He will try new powders/substances v occasionally, but certainly not recreationally on a regular basis. I don't mind that so much but it can make you feel really isolated. meh

Wow, that's interesting. First druggie woman I've heard of with a non-drug taking partner. 'Tis usually other way around.
 
Flushed yet another collection last night in an attempt to kick start a sabbatical.
Trying to abstain while having an array of drugs to hand is next to impossible for me. Now all I have left is a bit of weed but I must resist the overwhelming urge to start another collection. Day at a time n all that! :)

This is probably the 7th or 8th stash i've thrown out over the years. Selling/giving to someone to mind/giving away aren't options for me. When I get in that frame of mind (truely wanting to abstain) its black & white/all or nothing, so I get rid of it all....
pills, amphet sulphate, MDMA, 2C-D, 4-FA, MXE, AMT, ODT, MPA, camfet, methylone, buphedrone, 3-MeO-PCP, 6-APB, 4-HO-MET, 3-MeO-PCPr, 3-MeO-PCPy, MDAI, etizolam, dalmane.

Here's to a fresh headed sabbatical! :)
 
to be your toilet...lol that sounds wrong doesnt it..you flusshed all that? was there a big quantity of each item?

Best of luck to you brother, I'm on a sabbatical myself in fact - three days clean off the gear. Now that doesn't sound like much, but when you've had an addiction to opiates for 2.5 years, three days is like two weeks and that's no exaggeration at all. If I can even go a week then I'll be proud, as at the very least my body will have had a break and I can work on keeping my indulgences to a minimum.

What part of Ireland are you from man? Good luck friend, I look forward to your updates.

yes, it does sound wrong, in a scatty kind of way! lol
Yep, flushed the lot....
20g amphet sulphate
~70 pills
8g Buphedrone
4g MXE
3g 4-FA
2g MDAI
1g x MDMA, 2CD, AMT, 4-HO-MET, ODT, MPA, camfet, methylone.
< 100mg x 3-MeO-PCP, (r), (y).

So yeah, a fair bit of money's worth.

Thanks man! Well done on being 3 days off gear! That is definately a long time for people in lengthy addiction. Well done! Be proud & best of luck reaching 1 week.
I'm half way between Dublin & Belfast btw. Close to the border.
Again, well done. Its great to see people trying their best to conquer addictions & sort the heads out. <3 :)
 
Must be the sabbatical time of year. My entire larder of recreational substances also got flushed at the weekend.
I'm also in week 3 of nicoteen withdrawal :D
The drug dragon I have yet to slay is Tramadol and its a b astard. I'm tapering it weekly. Its
going down but right now its a daily fight to the extent I often feel myself just breathing through the pain.

To everyone who is also 'sabbaticaling' .. Power to your head!

Peace n Love <3;)
 
Nasty, nasty tramadol. I've only had to give it up after acquiring a 'recreational' (except it stops being much fun) habit when I was young and too ignorant for places like Bluelight, and that was not pleasant. To have to deal with pain as part of the deal would probably have ruined me. Good luck with that one. You're doing well by the sound of it.
 
mate gave me a packet of Ixprim yesterday for my back pain.

they got 37.5mg of tramadol and 325mg of paracetamol.dont know much about them but looks like people not to fond of the tramadol.
 
Nah, it can be alright. Don't get me wrong. Sort of like an instant antidepressant with itches and a vague opioid feeling. You can even catch a nod if you smoke enough weed on top. It's worth a go but it's shit long-term or if you take too much. Avoid combos with anthing that acts on serotonin too.
