The Answer to Quitting ANY Drug "Addiction"

[mobblunted]

Hello everyone on Bluelight! I have been having crack cravings for the past few days and I can imagine lighting up and hearing the "shaking noise" i get when i inhale a good chunk of rock.. However, I am afraid constant use of crack will hurt my health long term or mentally hurt me and make me addicted.. How do you all suggest I can stop thinking about this drug?

I don't want to use it.. What are all your thoughts on crack as well?

-------------------------------------------------------

Hi all, Jay here.. I want to express to you that I went to AA/NA for drug reasons.. Why AA? I was told it could be better and less prone to temptation. Well, both places really failed because I did not want to believe in the methodologies offered by both programs. Now, after going for over a year and stopping a few months ago, do you think I should really believe I am a "addict"? I feel if I do believe it, I get more tempted to go out because then my identity kinda bases itself around being an addict.. I don't think that's true about me.

Who am I ? Well, I trade in the financial markets for a living(at least starting to) so I guess if you were to label me, I'm a trader.. Not an addict.

How do you all think I can believe I am a normal person again and not this mysterious "addict" that NA claims me to me.

Remember these words: Addiction is perception.

That's it.

Really understand what that means and you will be rid away from any so called "addictions"

Addictions don't exist. They are only false creations in your mind.

Crack doesn't even exist anymore.. It never did exist. It is all what you imagined in your mind.. that is what created a so called "addiction".


This is the answer .

let's make him smoke 2 grams of crack a day for 2 weeks and then release him to see what happens.

Seriously what do you think would happen to him?

You think he'd turn into one of the greatest philosophers of all time?

addiction to me is futile. I do heroin every week *not everday by a long shot* I avoid withdrawls so I'm not compelled to spend my last dollar on heroin, just my first dollar

As for crack, I hate it but when I buy it I can't stop hitting that pipe, but and this is a big but, as soon as It's gone It's like maple syrup. There's some right downstairs, it's not hard to get but I don't feel like getting It so I'll stay upstairs

Well said.. You can't deny the physical symptoms from opiate or benzo withdrawal. Some drugs are just mentally addicting, but others are physically addicting. You can't trick your brain into thinking that down-regulation isn't happening. It just doesn't work that way.

On the other hand, it is true that a large portion of any addiction is psychological. Stopping any addiction requires a lot of willpower. That goes without saying.

I'd also like to point out that even the drugs that are seen as, "only psychologically addictive" have withdrawl effects that cannot be imagined away too. It's been about 10 days since the last time I shot meth and my sleep schedule is totally out of whack...two days ago I slept for 14hrs and was still wasted tired when I finally got out of bed; but the last two nights I've only been able to get a couple hours of sleep. I'm physically weaker than when I have significant clean time. I could be scientifically proven to be in a greater state of clinical depression than normal, my appetite is all fucked up. I've been having muscle aches since I started crashing. Had about 3 vivid dreams involving meth and/or IV use of some kind in the past week, etc, etc....

The list could go on and on.

There's just no separating psychological from physical, the two are one and the same.

meth drains your body of a lot of nutrients including calcium might explain the aches. Not eating right for however long you were binging causes your body to play catchup days after. Speed fucks up your dopemine uptake and trasmitters causing you to produce less therefore onsetting depression. the dreams? that means you're thinking about it too much when you're off of it.

I dont think any of this has to do with addiction, it's all cause and effect. You can't imagine away the consequences of the stress you put on your body but anyone who claims they need meth doesn't have a strong mind. I've done meth on and off for 2 years *not that that means shit in and of itself* but not once have I needed meth or felt i couldn't function without it. After a nice binge I don't touch the stuff for weeks because of how shitty I feel afterwords. I had a friend who fucked up her life on several occasions with meth and I believe it was just pure weakness and past emotional problems manifesting itself in drug use.
