Mephedrone help

[leedsunited123]

I am struggling to type right now so this has to be short.

I have been a mephedrone addict since last August, 5 g a night, now and again i will quit for 2 days at most but the comedown is so horrific i cant stop - makes me paranoid, anxious, upset, ill - changed me as a person.

i am a different boy to who i was.

what do i do to stop

The harsh reality is that you just have to stop. And let time do it's thing at healing you.

Just stop. It wont be fun. With plenty of exercise and plenty of support youwill be fine.

I found that the mental cravings went away quickly. I hope you fare the same

Yeah you have to simply not own any. If you for a moment think you'll be capable of keeping a stash you're wrong. As you've experienced, your brain will always trick you into finding an excuse to take some more and once you've had that first line you won't stop til the bag is finished. Not that I need to tell you any of that.
So if you're serious, when you're in a moment lucid sobriety, flush whatever you've got left and then cut yourself off from whatever your source is. If you buy online, from a silk road type website, ask a mod to ban you. If you buy from a dealer delete his number from your phone. If your mates are into it, avoid them on nights out when there's going to be meph going about.
I don't think meph is physically addictive so you won't get any nasty symptoms like coming off opiates or benzos etc. In fact you'll start feeling much much better and for a short time really enjoying the physical freedom from not being on meph. After a few good nights' sleep get into a bit of exercise. You'll feel really satisfied with how much better you feel about yourself. But I know from my own experience that meph can be extrememly psychologically addictive. So the simple answer is obviously to not buy any more, though I sympathise that's easier said than done.

One important thing to realise is that you are damaging yourself - and you've done this. You want to quit. That's a good sign, you've got the motivation.

When you come off it, the comedown might seem horrible now - but imagine how much worse it could be if you continued your current use! You've asked for help and that shows you have the right motivation which is a great start. You have to keep positive and follow through.

Try and socialise with non drug using friends (if you have any) for a while and keep at any activities you can be to take your mind off it. It might be good to tell someone close to you that you want to quit, this will give you someone to try and not disappoint while quitting as well as giving you someone who can help if times get hard. Quitting is always easier when you have someone close to you to guide you through the tough times.

I wouldn't like to suggest more drug use to anyone who is having problems, but if you are already a cannabis smoker and it agrees with you, you might want to try using it to take the edge off whenever the comedown is going through rough stages. I only suggest this because a friend had the same problem and found it to be helpful at times.

Like the poster above says, get rid of anything you have and cut contact with those who will reintroduce you for now.

Good luck and I hope you make it through this!

Good suggestions too. Only problem could be that I find weed and meph go very well together and if I have one it makes want the other. OP has not said if this is the case with him or not, but I'd say indulging in another drug is likely to create weakness that might make you more vulnerable to give in to cravings. I find the same with alcohol too. After a few drinks, or a couple of spliffs, I always head straight for my meph stash, so I'd try going totally clean until the meph habit has been kicked.

Meph is the one drug I'd lose my life over. It is simply too damn good. I suggest fucking over ur source so that u can't get anymore and possibly having someone else ensure u do not get more.
