^exactly how i feel about it
sanity, i apologise for having to edit ur earlier post, i just saw it as triggering - i didnt realise until ur later post that ur caught in that cycle of love and hate for the drug.....best to hav conveyed that in ur earlier post
the gd news is
anyone can get off meth
the bad news is its fucking hard
meth PAWS takes from 3 - 5 yrs for long-term addicts, which is why, gorgoroth, u r feeling the way u r
i encourage u to find a way thru it
any drug addiction needs to b replaced with something else whether its work, new friends that dont use, a hobby, NA/church involvement or a relationship (not with a meth user)
i promise if u want it enough and will go to any lengths to pursue recovery from meth u will recover
sure ull slip up - but thats not wats important
its the big picture thats important
dont bag me here as im not here to preach but my bf went to a religious rehab run by the salvation army to recover from his alcoholism, and i wud come along to the regular 'recovery church' services they held, plus i met an inspiring christian guy who was looking to christianity for his recovery
paul and i decided to become christians - we by no means see ourselves as prudes or perfect ppl, but having a higher power we cud put a name to has really helped me lately, thru some rough times with both my drugs of choice....P (pure meth) and heroin
i also hav my horse - i keep involved in as much riding activities as poss
ive had to give up adult riding club cos it starts at exactly the time i collect my methadone but i can still ride in the afternoons and pauls taken it up with me
paul is a major help as far as meth goes cos he hates the stuff - and our relationship grows stronger by the day
i dont want to hurt the man i luv dearly so i dont want to touch meth!
all the same, i slip up, as methamphetamine addicts in recovery tend to -
we r dealing with a very addictive fucker of a drug
just the other day i used IV meth....just 1/4gram but thats 1/4gram too much for my body which has suffered yrs of abuse from this drug
so thats where i am with meth atm - i love it but i hate it too
it will always b that way i fear
to change the subject briefly i just felt in the name of harm reduction i might add - to whoever said u cant OD on benzos alone, no it is pretty hard to OD on benzos alone but it is not impossible......b careful of
all drugs inclduing benzos
mia - i cant take seroquel cos of its effects on my heart either
ask ur psych about zyprexa (olanzapine).....IMO this is the best antipsychotic for dealing with meth
brentzxi - sounds like u and i hav had some similar problems, dealing with opiates/benzos/amphetamines
i got off heroin and meth at the same time but i was in a detox unit then went onto suboxone maintenance (hav now swapped to methadone)
clonazepam was the benzo i was on too tho ive bn switched to valium and ive already started dropping my dose slowly
its not easy but its doable
gd on u mate cos i can remember ur earlier posts and feeling frustrated cos i knew wat u were going thru but u werent ready for help
uve proved uve got a gd strong will - go get em mate!
