Hi all, been lurking on this site as a non-member, reading various threads for many years.
I've been a DXM abuser for 8 years or so, and finally quit for good several months ago. I am still not back to normal, my brain is still recovering, as is my body. I have problems with fatigue, sleep, and depression/motivation.
However, since I quit DXM, I've started using opiates more often than I would like, and have had some mild withdrawals a few times after trying to quit, but I have relapsed several times and am still dealing with this battle. Very very stupid and immature decision to have even started experimenting with them. I am in my late 20's and don't really have much more time to be messing around experimenting. I did it a lot as a teenager and in my 20's up until now, and I just want to stop altogether.
I am very afraid of becoming a statistic. I am very afraid of opiates and my lack of willpower to avoid them...and I am surrounded by them, several people I grew up with and have been friends with are >SNIP< big time users/addicts. I've got to get away from them and start a new life with new friends. I am aware of this, which is the first step I assume, now I just have to put the plan into motion. I've told my family, my parents, that I used opiates (heroin, snorted) and how afraid I am. But I'm an adult, nobody can really control me, I have to do it on my own.
I have never smoked cigarettes, never been one to drink alcohol more than a few times a year (I could go months without any alcohol and not even notice, I just don't enjoy being drunk or drinking).
I've smoked the green since I was 14 on a regular basis and I'm so bored of that crap, it's more of an OCD thing that I smoke now. I hope to meet some positive, successful (in terms of controlling and overcoming drug abuse) on here and more importantly being able to help others with advice and my own personal experiences.
