Have you ever moved and been completely cut off from drugs?

I guess my motivation for starting this thread is because I have a big decision to make about moving to another country. I'm pretty sure I'm moving to Japan next year and I know how strict their drug laws are. Unless you know the right people, it's pretty much impossible to get anything there and asking locals is frowned upon. So I'm expecting to give up drugs for at least a year or two and I don't know how I feel about that. I know when I come back to the city I currently live in in I shouldn't have any problem securing drugs again, but that's a pretty long time. I was thinking of accumulating a hefty stash and putting it in safe keeping while I'm gone in case I come back and my contacts have moved on. Plus it'd be nice to know if I keep a big enough stash that 10 years down the track I can still get high every so often. It's hard finding a really good dealer who won't fuck you over and mine is the best <3

So have you ever made the decision to move or had to move away from your drug scene and being completely cut off? How did you deal with it?
 
Ive moved and cut myself off of the party scene various times in my life, I was even sober once for 1 year 3 months until I relapsed in 2012. Its always hard to adjust to plain boring old life at first when you sober up. I felt something like despair and depression for the first month or so of quitting a years long daily weed and alcohol habit along with a smattering of hard stuff. Then my sleep returned and my ability to find enjoyment in sober things a bit later, and I was pretty much fine after that. I had a lot more money since I wasnt buying drugs all the time too which was a huge plus too.

Can never hurt to take a little break and let your head clear up a bit. Overseas trips to other countries are unique life experiences as well that should be taken advantage of. I love weed (and to a lesser extent meth) immensely but Id give them up to go abroad for awhile and see the world sober for awhile. Just my 2 cents good luck wherever you may end up.

Hahahahahahaha.

Yes, I have.. When I went and lived with my madre. I had been off opiates for awhile, via bupe. I got quite the mental addiction to Somas, and a psychical addiction to IV MxE.. Those WD's were no joke, and it took quite some time to rebound from coming off.. Did the AA thing for awhile, cutting ties with your sponsor is rly shitty, esp if they were legit trying to help.. Which mine was, but I moved back and told him I would attend meetings by my crib, which I did.. Once.
 
i just moved to the other side of the world. But europe is pretty different from asia, in asia i would risk it, you have to be very carefull if you're gonna try to source drugs. Otherwise if you really want to do drugs you'll find them if you search them right, at least you can find some weed and start from there but then again be carefull while being in asia.

PS: you could also experiment with being sober for a while (that if you don't have a physical dependence) and focus your time on discovering new things and building a new life while being there

I was just reading about some Korean vigilante group that follows English teachers over there and rats on them for child molesting (good) and reefer (bad!). I would be super duper careful in Asia. Just get your drink on for a few years, drugs will still be here when you back, even if all your old friends quit.
I find new connect when I just move across town, across country it's a top priority. Rather than going on street I go to bars and clubs. I have moved enough that I got good at it. Even when I travel to new town, I always find drugs. Weed you can just follow your nose if your DOC is hard stuff it's a little harder and sketchier.

Once you meet people and start hanging out it can be easier to find stuff, but you need to find the right people and since I like the hard stuff that can be, well, difficult...
Also as a female I don't feel comfortable going up to strange men and trying to source drugs, which is how a lot of travellers get stuff.
I don't expect to be trying to find stuff in Japan, I'm more preparing myself for the huge change. It will be very weird going from a secure contact with a constant flow of my DOC at high purity to absolutely nothing or at best, a crappy pill here and there... :\
I'm hoping maybe I'll forget how awesome drugs are, but it's not bloody likely since they inspire a lot of my writing. Oh, and make me a social butterfly of course.
 
Never.. Ill find drugs where ever i go or ill figure out a way to get my drugs another way. Moving to get clean will never work for me so ill never move to get clean, although id still move to experience new things even if it means finding new connects.
 
I'm with FADEDTRYPTAMINE... If I moved I would never be without .. Find CONNECTS AND GOODIES
 
Not since I started ordering drugs online - location might never be an issue for me for drugs again. Although I find my using habits change when I go from having lots of user friends to not knowing anyone for a while - more downers and almost never any uppers until I start hanging out with friends also on uppers.
 
yes I have, I got clean from a pretty bad meth addiction that way once a few years back...worked pretty well for me. although I use meth occasionally now, it allowed me to stop the daily-use thing, because as others have said, simply not knowing ppl can be very useful if quitting is your intention:) I know doctors/counselors/etc always seem to advise against "geographical cures", but I think it comes down to your intentions and what you really want to do.
 
I actually moved away years ago right after overdosing on H to a country where it's near impossible to find. I did other things for a while but after some time when you start to build a life you don't care so much anymore.
