Hi everyone!
Been lurking around here for... shit... a while now. I've been using drugs of all kinds since I could get my hands on them... Years later and I've developed a pretty robust polysubstance use/abuse pattern 8) I'm not really looking to go straightedge (lol) but suffice to say I'm not pleased with the trajectory I'm on. Recently I started thinking about getting informally involved in a addiction recovery community. I love the people in my life but, uh, not many of them really understand dedicated drug use on an experiential level. I've always liked the vibe of Sober Living here on BL so I thought I'd sign up. I'm hoping I can find some people who understand the things I'm experiencing/thinking on. I also spend a lot of time poking around PubMed/Wikipedia and it seems a lot more constructive/fun to be able to discuss such things :D I'd like to be able to start a addiction progress/recovery journal sometime in the near future, and I could use some input on my taper plans etc.
Areas of interest at the moment are gabapentinoids and how to withdraw from them, ion channels (particularly cardiac related stuff), amphetamine and amphetamine sensitization, drug metabolism (liver enzymes, holy shit, theres a lot going on there), hormones and the body and uh... I guess addiction philosophy and buddhism.
