Hi everyone, I'm VanWeyden, a 24 year old male from germany. started to use Marijuana at the age of thirteen, alcohol at 14 and increased use over the next 3 years to daily smoking and binge drinking every weekend. at 17 i quit both of them and did not use until i was 20. then started drinking a few beers now and then, then a few more, smoked mj again, the last three years i almost smoked daily. when i ran out of weed once i started doing benzos, not daily but regularly. 6 months ago i also started opiates, mainly fentanyl, tilidin and tramadol, more and more. After a 12 day binge on opiates and benzos i realised i'm about to hit the gutter, so now i'm trying to get clean again, started off with it 4 days ago. It's a tough time for me right now, but since i used bl to get information about how to get high for some time ive now started to read tds, which helped me a lot. thanx to everyone posting here, and i hope i can quit drugs for good, at least opis and benzos, they are just about to ruin my life.
 
Hello and welcome TMoney and VanWeyden <3
Thank you both for sharing a bit of your story with us. I look forward to seeing you post more in The Dark Side :)


VanWeyden, ich studiere Deutsch dieses Jahr an Universität :D <- War das richtig?? Ich kann nur ein bisschen Deutsch :)
 
Hehehe thanks man! I'm just doing it for fun, and to know another language other than English. Ich lerne sehr gern Deutsch =D
 
Hey dumdrill! Welcome to Bluelight, and to The Dark Side :) <3

What brings you here?
 
I guess this is where I introduce myself?

I'm grrr8Dane. I'm 28 years old. I'm way too into opiates and at one point or another I was way too into benzos, amphetamines, alcohol, etc., etc., etc. I'm fairly loquacious and can barely keep a text message under three sentences. I think my life in general is best summed up by this quote:

"Who has never killed an hour? Not casually or without thought, but carefully: a premeditated murder of minutes. The violence comes from a combination of giving up, not caring, and a resignation that getting past it is all you can hope to accomplish. So you kill the hour. You do not work, you do not read, you do not daydream. If you sleep it is not because you need to sleep. And when at last it is over, there is no evidence: no weapon, no blood, and no body. The only clue might be the shadows beneath your eyes or a terribly thin line near the corner of your mouth indicating something has been suffered, that in the privacy of your life you have lost something and the loss is too empty to share." -MZD

At any rate, this is a pretty remarkable place. I'm glad to be here.
 
^^ Hi and welcome grrr8Dane <3
Wow, that is quite a quote! I like it, not necessarily for what it means but for its imagery :)
Also, loquacious is a brilliant word which I don't believe I've ever seen used in a sentence!
You're alright man, you're alright %)

I know this might sound absurd, But it would be a HUGE relief to me if you told me none of you were my actual Psych/Counselor, w/e, howerver, it would be an even greater benefit to me if you were somehow, and i could get down to my problems, and the stuff you talk about here on bluelight, (i do love this place) is very close to what i do, although some things like age and dates are somewhat changed, i really feel super paranoid that i'm being followed by my docs :(
Hi chaultistic, welcome to Bluelight <3
I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling paranoid because I know it is a horrible head-space to be in. But honestly mate, if you haven't got any personal details on your profile e.g. location, birth date, email address etc, there is no way that any of your doctors could be following you, because they have no way of knowing that chaultistic is you.
So you aren't being followed.
However, me and the other members here in The Dark Side can provide you with support for whatever you're going through at the moment. If and when you feel ready, please feel free to post in any of the threads in TDS to open up a discussion.
Take care <3
 
I'm Beachgirl and I'm an addict. Started with alcohol, then weed, then I found the world of prescription drugs...benzos and narcotics. I won't get into the mess it has made of my life in the past few years. I'm currently sooo close to being completely clean that I can taste it, but I stupidly throw myself backward a few times a week, just enough to maintain a physical dependence, and of course the mental dependence that may never go away completely for an addictive personality like myself.

Just wondering how people manage to beat the mental part of addiction...I know people have varying levels in their own personalities, and mine happens to be highly addictive (this goes for anything...I've been hooked on chapstick for 16 years!). I know all about NA and 12 steps and whatnot, and for some reason, it wasn't for me when I tried it 2 years back...

Any suggestions?
 
Welcome to TDS Beachgirl82. Suggestions other than NA. Seeing a therapist? Finding some other passions? Rational Recovery and other support groups with a different focus than 12 step oriented groups? Making a list of your motives to move past the level of drug use you are doing now?

I don't know. I often curtail my use to have it come back full strength only a little bit later.
 
Also, loquacious is a brilliant word which I don't believe I've ever seen used in a sentence! You're alright man, you're alright %)

Haha! Thanks n3o! I'm kinda just lurking around The Darkside at present, but I thought I might as well introduce myself. Thanks for making me feel welcome!
 
i've been preoccupied w/ thoughts of death. it seems like no one is there. i don't want to romanticize the hopeless romantic bullshit. 130 mg of methadone and 2 mg of klonopin is starting to have trouble keeping the demons at bay. i'm new to bluelight. i just need a simple "hello" to prove i still exist. it would mean a lot.

my best friend died in September. overdosed on various opiates and benzos. i was the one who found her. the images come back occasionally. i went through EMDR for PTSD symptoms through my shrink. i guess this drew me to the dark side. bars, dating sites, etc...no one ever replies and i always feel lonely.
 
Hi redlight, welcome to The Dark Side <3
One thing about this place that I love is that I never feel alone when I'm here because we're all in the same dark place together. The community here really does support each other, so I hope you find some solace in posting here.
I'm so sorry to hear that your best friend passed away in such tragic circumstances. I hope that you can find peace within yourself about it one day soon. If you ever want to talk about it please feel free to PM me okay?
Take care, and I look forward to seeing you post more :) <3
 
evil forces r trying to get me

I swear there are. I just tried to post this big long introduction of myself and went i clicked to post it the site logged me out.:X I really have sooo much stress and problems in my life right now. I dont beleive in the devil but it feels like the negativity in my life feeds off itself and everyday is a new low. SWIM has a big list of problems and has been trying to get off painkillers but taking 2 weeks or longer of no sleep to get suboxone isnt in the realm of possabilitys for him. Ive been unemployed for too damn long busting my back for little bits of cash is gonna cripple me. I got no money to get a tooth pulled..especially since i need to see an oral surgeon. I feel like my body is shutting down...even with doing subs swim sometimes cant find the energy to get out of bed. When me and my gf fight i get gut wrentching pains in my stomach. Im 23 yrs old, and im starting to lose my spark for living. I know that i shouldnt dwell on the past and gotta make my destiniy but i really have problems. Being alive, sheltered, and clothed is about all i got going for me right now. I dont know if this is the place to ask but is anyone familiar with using neurontin while DTing? SWIM wants to quit suboxone even though it will probably lead him back to other hard drugs.

Anyways, thanks for letting me post N3o.
 
Hello, I am me. I have a need for benzos these days.
I don't know why I found this site, or came across it, but here I am, Feeling very dark side-ish at the moment.
 
^^ Hello and welcome to The Dark Side <3
You've come to the right place :)
I hope to see more from you around the forum.


And welcome to you too Crazyeyed Ty :)

If you want to change badly enough, you can make it happen. There's plenty of info and support out the for you, and right here in The Dark Side as well, when you're ready to get clean. Take care mate <3
 
I'm thizzmachine138- heard of that Misfits song 'We are 138'? ;)... Ive wondered through the dark side a few times. Here lately I've been fiending for adderall, I haven't taken it too far but I figure I'll be using it quite a bit in the coming weeks. I love mdma and shrooms, they are my two favorites, but I don't seek them out like I do adderall and I use both safely and in moderation. I have extreme trouble focusing or staying on one thing and adderall makes me get on task and have hope for doing good in everyday life, I really would like to instruct myself to be at the top of my game without it, I know I can, I've been a high achiever without the stuff but sometimes I just need it, I went on weeklong binges before but now I try not to go more than 3 times a week. I usually take at least 40mg xr at a time, sometimes with a 10 or up to 25mg redose just a couple hours after. I haven't seen any physical tolls it may be taking, like I said my use isn't too out of hand, but I'll get shakes and a sore jaw later that night or the next day. I figure since its not as 'magic' as the other drugs I take that I can get away with using it more. I feel like a social superman compared to my usual self, but my usual self I've come to embrace, and try to make the best of without the help of any particular substance. Mdma and shrooms have helped me more than adderall in terms of life problems, I only use mdma once every 4 months and shrooms once every six weeks or so if they're around. I take more from those experiences of course, how could adderall compare to either of the two? I just wanted to share, it was on my mind. :)
 
Hi Thizz_Machine, welcome to Bluelight <3
It sounds like you've got a fair grasp on your adderall usage at the moment. Are you concerned about it slipping out of control in the future? If you keep taking breaks and only use it as prescribed the risk of becoming physically dependent on it are lower. It's good that you're aware of the potential problems though.
I hope you enjoy your time here :)
