Is there anybody that has been clean from drugs for a substatial amout of time?

I'm going to answer my own inquiry:it takes couple months. Being sad is not as big a challenge as being bored. Work helps ALOT. Good job and family are the keys to the whole thing, for me anyway. everyone is different.
 
ive had 7 1/2 months off of everything, doc was heroin/crack, relapsed and im back on the boat with around 40 days off everything. definitely happier then when i would wake up dope sick. if it wasn't for na/aa id be dead or dope sick or higher then a kite right now. just stopping drugs is rather pointless if u ask me id rather want to die wen im on heroin then want to die sober, i know how both feel, and with recovery (na/aa, 12steps blah blah) the days u feel like dieing are less and less. im not necessarily talking suicidal or anything,(although that may be the case) just plain misery when i refer to wanting to die.
 
4 months clean and sober in 2 days time. Its slowly getting better the first 3 months were the worst. I found that these supplements DAILY helped.....

pure high strength fish oil 1100mg (EPA 360MG + DHA 240MG)
vitamin d supplement
high potency vitamin b complex
150mg magnesium citrate
 
Gman, we've crossed posts before on the alcohol thread. Good to hear you're still sticking with it. Best of luck to you man. You too Lordnate. Climbing back on the horse you've just fallen off of is hard so good for you. :)

Me: Something like 12-ish years crack and opiate free now. Still dabble in other substances, mostly psychedelics but never had a problem with those, I use them as much therapeutically as recreationally so I don't count them as being in anything like the same class. Booze, very shortlived relapse just before Xmas so technically back into month one but the slip was so minor that I was able to exert some control over ( I threw most the booze down the toilet rather than drink it for instance ) I'm barely even counting it. I didn't even get drunk so good as six months sober now, in my head at least.

Yes we did and i am sure we will cross paths again in a couple of months ;) Hopefully i will be doing even better thanks :D

My doc back in the day was crack so i know how hard it is to quit so good on you.....I had a 5 year habit in which i did over 20 thousand pounds worth but quit that aint touched it for 15 years but went onto booze.

I have received some lsd blotters with 150ug thinking of slightly bending my rules on sobriety with that sometime in the future.....do you recommend it? I wanna use them for therapeutically as well for a more introspective look at myself! I only tried lsd once but never really felt anything apart form feeling slightly good about myself (was on a shit load of other stuff)

Good luck on the mission of sobriety <3
 
Gman, I would never recommend anyone take drugs really, even psychedelics. I've occasionally found them very useful, had some real insights on them, they've been useful as far as revealing how my mind works and where certain kinds of thinking might have come from. I daresay I could have got similar insights other ways, perhaps through counselling / talking cure type therapies, I dunno, and I suspect insights gained that way, though slower, might have been easier to integrate. It's not always easy to hold on to the discoveries we make on them and put them to use.

I've also seen them absolutely destroy friends of mine who spent years afterwards in and out of some really quite scary psychosis territory, their heads can not have been good places to live. One in particular was not only a danger to himself, he was a danger to other people on occasion, so convinced others were out to get him he was potentially murderous and not far from it. He never sought help, he retreated into self-medicating with heroin to stabilise himself and was an addict for years afterwards.

I guess it really depends on where you're at, how your mood and thinking is and how you're wired. Either way, a profound experience can, and often does leave you utterly changed in some way forever. You can't take it back. Approach with appropriate caution.
