Through the rabbit hole!
Hi Guys, Girls and everything in between,

I have returned to BL once again but, with questions totally opposite to what I was in search for previously.

Some of you may or may not know that I have used, consumed and abused copious amounts of drugs in the past and now; I believe it's time to try and reverse the damage I have done to my brain.

I'm trying to make myself smarter so I can climb the corporate ladder and make a mark on the world with the skills I posses, the only issue is, I feel I have done a lot of damage to my brain and I feel I could do a lot better if I had the full potential of my brain at my disposal.

Is there anybody out their that may know ways to help reverse the effects that drugs have done to my brain, or alternatively, a way to rebuild by brain and make myself more intelligent starting from now?

Oh I'll outlay some detail below to give anybody who might know a solution a rough idea of things:

Sex: Male.
Age: 23.
Occupations: Marketing Coordinator & Kitesurfing Instructor.
Drugs Consumed:
LSD, LSA, 2c-b, 2c-i, 2c-e, 2ct7, 5-MeO-DMT, NN-DMT, Methyl-amphetamine, cocaine, crack-cocaine, heroin, GBL, GHB, shrooms, marijuana, oxycodone, MDMA, MDEA, MDBD, ketamine, 4-MMC, amphetamines, bk-MDMA, opium, along with a wide array of pharmaceuticals...
Details of Drugs Abused:
Cocaine - Used apx 3.5 - 7 grams every week for about 4.5 months.
Methyl-amphetamines - Used apx 2 - 3 grams every week for about 12 months then stopped for 3 years and started using again apx 2 - 4 grams a week for about 8 months and now I'm off it for good.
GBL - Used apx 200 - 350 mL a month for about 8 months.
MDMA - Used apx 10 - 20 pills a week for about 3 years (as you can imagine they stopped working on me) I had a break from that for about 2.5 years and started using crystal MDMA of about 1 - 2 grams a week for about 6 months.
Marijuana - I stopped smoking marijuana about 3 or 4 years ago due to the effects of hearing voice when I consumed it... Before that though I use to be a 'stoner' as such.

All the others I haven't really used to much of, I guess I used them in more moderation I'll list out a little bit below of the amounts I used over the 8 years I've consumed drugs.
LSD - apx 40 hits
Ketamine - apx 30 grams
2c-x combined - apx 25 hits
Oxycodone - apx 40 grams

I should probably also note the things I have started doing to try and kick start a replenishment of my brains health. I've started doing regular exercise, including: bike riding, weights, yoga, walking, kitesurfing. Stopped drug use all together last year, including alcohol. Working a lot of hours to try and keep my brain busy, when I mean a lot I mean, 50 hours Mon - Fri and taking work home with me, along with working as a kitesurfing instructor some weekends and finally I try to read books when I have a chance.

That's all I've taken upon myself to start so far so any suggestions at all would be very much appreciated, whether they are big or small I'm willing to give anything a go if it will improve my intellect.

Thanks everyone in advance for any input you may have or for even reading this and thinking about :)

Cheers,

Mushi.


EDIT: I forgot to add I've got a bunch or piracetam as well if anyone thinks that may help at all...?

Human growth hormone tends to activate more brain matter making new synapseroutes causing you to mentally more cognitive.
 
Hmmm I'd probably take natural supplements, but I'm trying to push out all past toxins and not input any more.

I just want to be more mentally alert and improve my intelligence as best as possible.

I'll give those links you supplied a read when I get a chance.

Thanks addictivepersona!
 
The human mind and body are amazing things, capable of recovering from terrible stress...

When I want to recharge mentally and physically:

-I cut out all drugs (especially alcohol-- somewhat of a habit for me)
-Eat sparingly, but make it mostly vegetables and fruits
-Drink a lot of water and tea
-Strenuous exercise daily
-Multivitamin consumption daily
-As little work as possible

-Read a lot (philosophical writings, classic fiction, etc...)
-Establish a sleep schedule (wake up around 4:30am, go to bed at/before 10)
-Meditate every morning for at least 30 minutes
-Surround myself with positive, optimistic influences

It shouldn't take more than a couple weeks to notice improvements
 
I find watching comedy shows especially tv comedy gameshows very good at making me think better/sharper more wittier.

Along with reading, running and eating healthy.

These all sound like great ideas, I'm not into strenuous exercise to much but I have been doing weights twice a week and riding my bike every other day along with improving my diet a lot.

I think with my next pay I'm going to start a meditation course so that I can do that when I feel like it.

Thanks for your input, I think I will do a fare bit of this.
 
I second the exercise and diet idea. I'm starting to pick up some new healthy habits and when I exercise on a daily basis, it really makes me feel great. Same with diet. Try to cut processed food out of your diet as much as you possibly can. You really will notice a huge difference.

Also, as mentioned, read books and do brain activities that challenge you. It's cheesy, but I love logic puzzles. I also like reading non-fiction and/or watching documentaries on subjects I know little about - learning new things is always a good thing. On that note, learning something really challenging (like computer programing) is very rewarding.

Positive surroundings - I love this suggestion. People who act miserable lead miserable lives.

Honestly, if you cut out all drugs including alcohol and really concentrate on improving yourself, I think you'll be pleased with the results. The brain is a truly powerful organ, and I really believe a large amount of the damage done from drug use is easily reversible with time and effort. Best of luck to you!

Just to note: you don't have to pay anything to meditate-- ie. you don't have to go to a yoga studio or even a meditation center. Just find the quietest spot in your house, and sit. Or, even better, go out into nature, somewhere secluded where you can't hear or see another human presence, and meditate there.
