Introduce Yourself! v.2.0

Hi everybody!

I'm Andries. I'm 23 (I'm too old! D: ). I find a lot of these topics of interest since usually with my friends I'm the guy people come for advice/aid. I believe knowledge is for sharing, the more you know the better. So I'm always trying to learn more. I'm here to learn, meet new people and of course. It's never good to see someone destroy themselves, but usually we need to fall in order to rise even higher. Unfortunately, not everyone has someone to lift them up when needed, and I think you guys do a great job lending a hand to those who need it.

I have my own problems too, I'm kind of a subconscious control freak and I have a rare type of schizophrenia.
 
Hey Andries! :) Welcome, man!

I like your perspective! Kick back and stay a while, you'll find you're among quite a unique, caring and rather intelligent community.

If you have any questions, all you need to do is ask!
 
Brother, it's like your Dumbledorf n you just arrived at the wizard convention :)
Welcome to TDS.
I don't like how sinister that sounds.
Can we think of a better way to welcome ppl to The Dark Side??
 
New to Bluelight

Hello everyone. My name is Archie. I'm new to BlueLight. I have had a seriously heavy opiate addiction since 2005 when I broke my neck at football practice. I'm played all my life, Pop Warner, high school, college, semipro and Arena League. My tolerance is huge! Used to get 90 forty mg OC's and they would be gone in a week! Then for rest of month. Had to buy from the streets till beginning of new month. I experimented with H for about 1 month but it scared me! I had a 100 dollar a day habit. The drugs caused my divorce and has almost cost me my new relaitionship. I want to quit sooooooooo very badly but wds scare the he'll out of me. I ws a heavy pot user until I got into my career field. It will sound weird but I work in Radiation Protection at a nuke power plant, which is why I quit smoking, due to the heavy duty random drug tests. If anyone can give megood advice for making wds more bearable I would appreciate it. I am ready to quit. For my loved ones, especially my 2 beautiful angels(daughters) but I want to quit more importantly for myself because I realized you cannot love anyone until you love yourself. Thanks for the patience for my rambling. I hope everyone who is thinking about quitting or anyone who already has finds the answers to your prayers.


Thanks,

Archie
 
Hi Archie! Welcome to BL!

It takes a lot of determination to commit to what you are committing to and I admire that.

There is a TON of info on opiate withdrawal to be found here on BL. Feel free to search around and ask questions.

THIS thread may help as well!

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to PM me or any other Staff member.

Again, Welcome! :)
 
Just joined up but I've been perusing posts for the last year or so. Great site and I've learned much. Thank you all.

Hi I am new, i am a former user of methamphetamine, prescription amphetamines, and cocaine.

Meth was my DOC, i have been clean of it since june or 2009.

Its difficult for me at times, and i did have a bit of a relapse a couple months ago involving, oh my what all lol....Cocaine, lots of Ritalin and Adderall, Vicodin, etc....basically whatever i could find that would alter my reality. Im an upper girl at heart though.

I am also a wife and a mother and i work a lot.

That is all. :)
 
Hey jokergirl :) That's great that you've stayed away from everything since 2009 regardless of the recent event. Welcome!
 
Hi jokergirl, welcome to TDS :) <3


Canberra Slim, welcome also! <3 Are you actually from Canberra, Aus?
 
Intro

I'm new but not new... used to post here A LOT years ago but sorta just stopped. Glad I remembered to come back!

I've been into meth, E+GHB/GBL, and alcohol, but my dark side came from extreme Xanax addiction that I was using to self-medicate a spinal injury and anxiety. I am a 5'4" female (at the time I was like 105 lbs) and was up to taking a 2mg bar every HOUR for days... cuz my body was so used to it, it actually fully wore off in that hour.

And though I'd been thru Xanax withdrawal a number of times before, THIS time got me in county jail for over 3 months where I was misdiagnosed as bipolar or schizophrenic and put on a number of hardcore anti-psychotics which f'ed me up completely for many months. I mean, I lost the feeling in my legs and had to be in a wheelchair, couldn't move my hands or arms from bad muscle reactions to the anti-psychotics, could not concentrate more than a few seconds, couldn't even blink my eyes.

After jail, I was sent to a mental health rehab program that I really didn't belong in. It was a f'n tough year. VERY few people I know know what happened. It's like, a dirty little family secret I'm not allowed to even mention. (which sucks cuz I NEED TO VENT.) Anyway, a different doc told me I had been misdiagnosed a few weeks ago and took me off the meds. He put me on a small amount of Ativan or Klonopin for panic, and Prozac. I'm anorexic but never could actually ACT upon it until I found meth. I hate the feeling of meth, but I was addicted to the weight loss/low weight, not the actual feeling of being high. I actually hated that, due to my anxiety... didn't help... but my vain ass had to try to look a certain way.

But I still have to say my dark side was the Xanax and the problems it caused. I have other dark sides too but actually they are not drug related.
 
Hi SoCalGirl, welcome back to Bluelight <3
I'm sorry to hear you've had such a rough time with so many hardships. That makes me so upset that you were misdiagnosed and put on anti-psychotics, that must have been absolute HELL :( Not even to mention jail and that mental health program. I'm glad you've come back to The Dark Side, you've come to the right place :) <3

How are you finding the Prozac? Is it helping so far?
 
Just sounds like love bud, love stinks! Yea yea, u kno wat I'm sayn
If u still lik her, consider counseling
 
Iowa in the house! Hard times are my life, sharp, strong sword's
have to become real hot before they are ready for battle, I feel sorry
for people not ready for battle, so when life throws the heat at u, embrace
it, hold on, pray, live, make smart decisions, talk to each other, I'm addicted
to benzos, a legal addiction that I wish I cld trade in for most any other addiction,
Somes benzos half life are extremely long so u have to withdrawl for much much
longer than any other drug I know of, anyway besides that, I'm a alcoholic bt have been sober
for 3 yrs now, I've bin an addict to opium/opiates, mj/hash, coke, and iv done most strong hallucinogens
I am sober from everything bt benzos so I think I fit well here, so if anybody needs to talk bout anything hit me up
Thanku
 
Hey diefenbacher, welcome to The Dark Side :)
That is awesome to hear that you're clean from almost everything (except benzos), nice one man! What brought you here?
