Hello fellas,

I am on month 5 of my recovery I was doing really well until I slipped last weekend... I got really drunk on Friday and only half a glass of beer and a glass of caesar last Saturday and a few cigarettes. (No I didn't take any drugs just drank ) Yesterday, Sunday I managed to go to the gym but after that when I went home my anxiety kicked in and this strange feeling in my head like there are movements and that pulsating feeling got stronger which resulted to the unsteadiness feeling... I don't have a headache but my head feels a little heavy. I think I had some brain zaps as well.. Has anyone of you have a bad reaction to alcohol and cigarettes while recovering from mdma? I am just wondering if this would be pushing my recovery back. I just hope I am not back to square one.
 
Thanks Folley as always.. I just can't forgive myself atm.. :P
 
I slipped up this weekend as well, about 4 months into recovery. A few friends were back in town and I simply couldn't resist the drinks and coke that were being passed around in the silly drunk state i was in... This resulted in me getting my first brain zaps since about 3 months ago and some weird hallucinations when trying to sleep.

Apart from this major slip up, I've had a few nights of drinking since my ordeal. Not sure how much effect these nights have had on me and never will, but the way i see it, it reduces my social anxiety for the night, enabling me to meet some new people which is something I couldn't have done a couple of months ago. Since beating social anxiety is a lot to do with breaking out of negative thought patterns, I can even see these nights as having some sort of benefit psychologically. Try keep these nights to a minimum though, especially if they make you paranoid afterwards. It is easy to mistake symptoms of a hangover with MDMA-induced symptoms, for instance.

The last time I drank was last year Dec i think our chaser had coke in it too hence us not getting drunk. We were drinking vodka shots and me and some of my friends didn't feel like buzz at all... Up until last weekend thats the only time I touched alcohol again and cigarettes, well now I know that I can't drink or smoke anymore well at least for now I hope... I am just gonna have to try to move on from this and double the effort of my workout/exercises.

With an attitude like that, you'll be fine in no time! Honestly though, a few drinks won't hamper your recovery in anyway. Having said that, this weekend was a little too much for my ultra fragile body and mind lol. Gonna take it easy on the drinks for another month or two, then reassess the situation. Life as a 21 year old grandpa ain't easy...lol
 
oh god speaking of feeling old I do feel like a 29 year old granma lols!!! Yeah I get really paranoid at small things and this is the one thing I am gonna have to work on.. I have not had this anxiety attack for a while that's why I got so paranoid about this shit we are going through. I guess our brains are still fragile atm and we have to be really careful.. I have high hopes for myself since I am doing what i can to recover, but then again it's up to Mr brain to do most of the work I guess
 
Thanks hapomen! Yeh I'd like to think that I have strong will power! :) there's just so much great thinga in this world I'm not ready to let go of.
 
Hey guys I have a quick question. When you drink do you get drunk like before the comedown? I've noticed my feelings of elation and happiness when drinking have been dramatically reduced since getting burned by ecstasy.
 
I actually felt the same as before the comedown.. I had a really great drunk feeling last Friday.. Although the hangover is worse though.. I actually still feel the hangover hasn't left me but this is probly just in my head
 
Thanks for the quick reply. I think that's a good sign for your recovery. Btw do you know if you have to become a bluelighter before you can PM people?
 
For what it's worth, I drank through my comedown. I noticed when I was out w my friends I could completely escape from my anxiety.

I am still SUPER sensitive to any amphetamines - so much so that I will refuse to take them even if I am drunk off my ass. If I take a dex or addy I will get a nasty mini comedown for a day or so. Not fun but they always go away.

You will be fine. Just listen to your body and keep doing what makes you feel better.

Thanks dude! I was super paranoid last Sunday thinkin wtf did I get myself into again.. My anxiety was just inevitable even after I exercised.. I guess my brain is rejecting any kind of substance that will hurt him so I definitely will listen to him more. I am going to double the effort and possibly look at other supplements.

What I know is that you have to post at least 50 posts to get an unlimited sending of messages.. You can still send messages right now but it is going to be every 180 minutes.
 
Good to see there are some fellow burnouts out there. Getting drunk is hard to avoid in this day and age, as its abuse is highly encouraged, so don't be too hard on yourself. Just double up your recovery efforts and move onwards, and triple your efforts to avoid the devil alcohol. If you tend to drink around those people, then avoid them. I for one detest the hangover effects of boozing so much to only bother using it every month or so when I have forgotten so much what a hangover feels like and even that is way too much and needs to stop permanently. That's because I have a weakened liver which is due to alcohol abuse even more - much, much more - than Mdma abuse. I think it's even worse for you than Mdma. Even once is too much with that alcohol shit really. It definitely is NOT good for recovery, as it too is really damaging to pretty much everything, especially the liver, and even has direct neurotoxic effects. When I slip up and get wasted these days I have learned to not give too much of a fuss though - I just immediately start preparing health food and hydrating myself, take a few days off the gym, and smoke dope so that I do not get too hung up about it and am able to live with the here and now until I feel better again. I stupidly got drunk on Saturday night, and even now, 3 days and many health meals later, I can still definitely feel that I did that too myself. This means that I am truly a dumbass for repeatedly using a drug that has such disgusting lasting efforts, but I am not too worried about it as I'll make sure not to drink again this time. I know where I'm headed and that's stoned-briety.

I think that using marijuana can really help with recovery, because it does that for me. It moderates mood swings, helps with sleep, helps in contemplating the history of damage you have done to your body, and encourages a fantastic appetite for healthy food.
 
Thanks rave_itsrealfun! Yeah I am going to double the effort.. I really have to make it up to Mr. brain.. Btw.. does anyone in the forum know much about 5HTP? I heard it's an awesome supplement to recover serotonin...
 
I avoid that, and try to let the natural healing process unfold, without trying to rush it with a pill. What makes sense to me is a healthy natural diet. Each day I am eating fresh garlic, ginger, turmeric, lemongrass, along with other dried exotic spices I do curries with. I include a variety of oils - like coconut oil, avocado oil, pumpkin seed oil, sesame oil. Incredible amounts of vegetables I'm always aiming to eat more of them - it seems important to have them both raw and cooked. Raw mushrooms daily as well, 3 different types. Seeds too, can't forget those- almonds macadamia hazelnut walnut pine nut there's a world of fun and recovery there. Lean meat and good cheese, I warmly welcome those too into my kitchen. I'm not a dietician though, I'm just a stoner who takes food really seriously. But I wouldn't expect the world in a pill these days. You need to bring a constant improvement attitude to your diet, if you arn't already putting effort into what you are eating. That's the way to go these days, with the wide availability of nutritious food you should certainly be able to heal yourself down the road. Just don't get caught up in that same lifestyle - it's easy for any of us to go back and hurt ourselves even more, and the most important thing is to avoid using more chemical drugs because, as you know, it's sheer and utter nonsense to even fuck with them and we had to go find that out.

everday I eat banana's probly three times a day max then apples rice, vegetables, meat, dairy, chicken, then cardio exercises almost everyday.. I guess i'll be fine... Although I did take a lot on my last mdma binge and didnt test if it was pure so yeah :(
 
How long were you using MDMA? I've been doing almost everyday since Christmas and to be honest, I haven't seen any adverse affects. I've been reading posts here and there, and I'm starting to get worried myself. If you originally posted it, I didn't see it. Sorry.
