I found that setting short term goals was useful, most of those were centred around doing other things as opposed to making abstinence the centrepiece of redefining my actions.

Such good advice. Doing those other things can feel odd and not surprisingly bland at first. It's worth remembering you are training a brain / person / soul that stimuli other than drugs can be worthwhile.It's a strange place when compared to the landscape of not this earthly-ways due to being chemically enhancemented to the otherplace. That place is not the only one %)


fuck it I just wish we wouldn't all take drugs all of the time, cause the other stuff outwith that is eh...quite lovely <3

Well said, everything is chemically enhanced, however real life works backwards compared to drugs. In real life you do the thing and the rewards come later & are at first subtle. I suppose an analogy would be withdrawing cash from a bank & splurging it on mainly pointless material goods which bring little genuine reward - drugs.
Putting the time in doing other activities is maybe more like working & saving money all the time investing in yourself learning new things & having wider & more varied experiences all the while building up a balance of positive chemicals in your brain account. Once you have a healthy balance you can of course prudently make the odd withdrawal to invest modestly in a quality item. Having the healthy chemical balance is a prerequisite to getting the best out of drugs anyway I believe.

I could not salute you more sir - be my humble opinion be that we can - as in, can have both. But there is always a but and a fine one it is to ponder and negotiate with. So very personal.

Choice, is good <3

Thank you Kate, it's kind of you to say so

Kindness is not a necessity, but your view, experience is and should be heard.

Life long management of this discipline and living through it is something else, and you sir "out live" me. However you will not believe how voracious my brassicas are! I'd put the satisfaction on a par with poor opitates 8)
 
Yeah had some minor discomfort but i've slept ok ,have n't thought about it that much tbh waht with all theother things going on, the big test will be monday when i get paid .
If i can stay off then it will be huge .
I decided not to bother with a target just a day at a time as the old cliche goes.
I'm not sayin i won't use again or owt just wanted to have a break thus enabling me to think more clearly about improtant decisions i have to ,make about my future n i don't that wouldn't be possible through an opiate haze.
 
Scrapping the target is a good idea actually. A day at a time always works better with any abstinence.

Pay day will be a sheer headfuck though. Maybe pick up some extra weed or summat?
 
yeah i'm considering giving most of it 2 my Ma to look after
i've just run out of weed i was given a load a few weeks back which was sound , it'll be a shock if i have to spend a tenner on 1.2 /4 when i've been putting about .5 in as recently.
I'll probably get some solids as i can get halfs n ozs of good quality stuff , hippy hash if u like;)
 
Hippy hash is probably a better bet, esp. if you want to keep the gear off your mind. Jealous though!

And I have a responsible woman looking after my cash too. It helps. :)

Yeah , i've had some pretty irresponsible women help me spend it in the past as well.:\
Don't think me Ma 's gonna take my bank card n buy Crack Cocaine though.
 
So i haven't been counting but i just looked at me phone n tis in fact 9 days since i last used:D

I haven't done the normal thing - Delete all my numbers (I've only got one proper one but i could obtain others easily), say this is it never again and make loads of promises 2 myself n others .
Once i start doing that i'm fuked cause i will beat myself up really bad if i do lapse.
Nah i've just carried on as normal but without buying Hard drugs.

I often have a look in the Heroin thread , and for everyone thats getting "FIRE" some else is getting shit so that has helped in a way n lets face it most of us only want to tell the world when we get good stuff not the umpteen times we get crap.

As i've mentioned the test will be 2moro when i get paid but i'm planning on putting measures in the way to make it impossible , i can't buy anything for less than £40 so thats good , if i had access to 10 bags it would be alot easier to justify.

I haven't got a longterm plan as that would be a bit premature at the moment , i'm still on my 40ml of methadone (not alot really ) & my benzos of course:|

Lets see how the next few days pan out%)
 
@Brimz

Nice one mate , I know you don't need me to tell you how good your doin.
But it's nice to get some affirmation for it.
And your right 40 mil of jollop ain't much at all.

Hope tomorrow goes well,when you get your bit of dough.
 
42 days clean of the subutex, about 12 months since I lasted used any brown.

Pretty much all withdrawal has been gone for a while now. Feeling good.

Few trips and pills in the last month which has helped get my head back in the right place. No urges to dally with opiates again. White is going to be a harder battle in the long run I imagine though. Trying to keep it as far away from the mind as possible.

But has hardly being an opiate user changed you, Brimz, that's what we want to know?

lets just say that this is the longest i've done without gear in 10 years , when i got clean n stayed clean for 8 months .
I remember the dates cos of 9/11.
I'm just pleased that i have proved 2 myself that i can go without scoring for a while , its not like i get my DOC on a script is it;)
If that were the case things may be different but it isn't, i'm not less happy for not scoring i know that . I lke gear proper Heroin but not so much of that around these days at a decent price.
 
That's amazing brimz and atm, congrats :) <3

I'm going to go on a sabbatical for a bit I think once things have stabilised, I want to concentrate on getting back on track and my work etc.. not quite ready yet in the midst of everything, but it feels like the right thing to do when I am ready.
