Apologies for the long post but I really need some advice - I've been combining drugs to deal with anxiety and I think I've gotten a bit too deep. I've been taking;

5-10g kratom daily for at least 5-6 months (occaional 5-6 day breaks when I have to order more, but no withdrawals so far inbetween) I was taking up to 20-30g across the day at one point but I cut it down

At least a joint or 2 nearly everyday for the last 2 months. I smoked it way more back in my teenage years/early 20's and have just started using it again

1-2g eitzolam daily for the last 2 weeks and on and off before that (2-3 times a week at 1g) for 4-5 months (no withdrawals as yet probably because I haven't stopped properly)

A 70cl bottle of whisky once a week along with beer, cider etc pretty much anything really (Unit wise at least 10 daily for the last month, before that between 14-40 units a week pretty much for the last 10 years with sporadic gaps off inbetween)

Hq and sq cocaine, between 0.5 and 2g a week for the last month

A normal day is kratom before work/during work to pick me up with my coffee, then at night i'll take etiz, weed and booze and coke if I have it. And I do that by myself. I used to be a social user but the drugs come first over my friends. I'd much rather get high at home than go out and feel uncomfortable. It sounds daft but as soon as I realised my priorities were completely wrong I knew I needed to change my habits somehow. Does anyone have any ideas for the best way to withdraw from them and in which order?

Thanks for reading, and I hope I can be a worthwhile member to the forum

Welcome to the site -

Wow that is a lot to be taking so a tapering schedule will be pretty hard to work out - we have a tapering thread which is active here you could ask there where people will have a better idea.

Good luck
 
All the drugs in the world won't help. I have been addicted to opiates for approximately 20yrs, I went from methadone 22.5mg/day to 8mg/suboxone. I was doing the right thing, so I thought, I would get on the gear ( meth ) which is really good for keeping the symptoms at bay, for as long as I could which was usually about 6-7 days, then I'd have about 4mg of suboxone, this went on for 6 weeks and I thought the habit would be gone. the habit was gone but the withdrawals were still going to come. So 10 days later, ended up doing cold turkey anyway. So now I'm prescribed 24mg suboxone /day, of which I smoke about 4mg / day. This keeps everything in check and I'm never running out and never hanging with the breakfast club at 8:59am hanging for my dose.
But the biggest lesson I learned was Meditation, find the right guided meditation on youtube and this will fix ALL problems, combine this with a healthy yoga routine and you will never suffer anxiety or stress again. There is nothing wrong with taking drugs, you just have to have priorities and good ethics.
