I seriously need help. I always find a way to rationize in my head but I it's like I can't stop myself. It sounds weird but when I go into this kind of state I just lose all self control and I need somebody to give me some tips or something. I just want to be able to take a step back when I feel like I'm one of those states but I don't know how to do it. Can anyone help?
 
i kind of have a similar problem. It's like a compulsive issue. For me, even after i do whatever i tell myself not to, i feel stupid like i shouldn't have just done it. So for example i'll tell myself i do not need to take a certain drug twice in one day. And i really feel like this is a good idea and i should stick to it. But every single time i take the first dose and then i'm like well that wasn't enough i need the second dose. So i take the second dose and then feel like shit 1 really was enough. Yet this cycle keeps happening over and over again.

I try to reinforce the idea that it is not in my best interests, that it hurts me or is a waste of time to take that second dose. So when i get that feeling of urgency to take that 2nd dose i have it in my head that's it's not a good idea. This works for the most part but it took many times of realizing that it is a waste to take that 2nd dose for me to finally stop. Same thing happens to me with cigarettes. I've also learned just to not set limits sometimes instead of constantly breaking the rules i set in my head.

hopefully someone else has some more insight into this issue, as i struggle with it as well.
 
I tell myself every time that this is the last one but I really don't know if it is. I hope once this afterglow goes away ill know for sure.
 
Hey,
First of all props for asking for help. Recognizing and asking for help is one of th hardest parts. Do you use by yourself a lot? If you are using socially , what are the people like you use with , do they use on the same degree as you? I am a poly drug addict , last six years I've been destroyed by heroin, now I have nearly half. Year clean. I had to change everything up - but I would recommend starting off with therapy and finding someone you can be honest and accountable wih. Do you have health insurance for therapy ? Lemme know we can start from here, best of luck man
 
I told best friend that I'm addicted so maybe that will help. He said he's watched me change for the worse. Maybe now I'll have someone to fall back on if I'm in those states where I feel like I can't control myself. It's weird. It's not a normal addiction I don't have withdrawal cause it just a mental addiction. Im just going to keep telling myself that I'm stronger than dxm hopefully that will work
 
PM, I went through crazy addiction to dxm. Hopefully ill be able to be of some assistance.
Ill just need more info about your addiction. How it started. Dosages. Why dxm in your opinion. How long and often and the likes. :)
