"The Dr" , why only for a year?
I mean obviously it's a GREAT place to start, but why not make it a little more permanent?

Okay, I've been about 36 hours without nicotine. Wow, I never realized how shitty this stuff was actually making me feel. The mental craving is insane, got a little headache and that weird taste in my mouth like I'm thirsty, but that's about it? I think I'm gonna try to just keep going without...
As for the other stuff ...
I will not go back to the doctor for a Xanax refill, I will not go back to the doctor for a Xanax refill, I will not go back to the doctor for a Xanax refill . . .
Five months off of bupe.

^^ Keep it up guys.
Today is 50 days without heroin, pot/hash/oil, crack, ketamine/mxe, booze, and everything else i enjoyed getting fucked up on or otherwise just used to maintain.
Just gotta drop the cigs and caffeine now.
My sleep is starting to improve, slightly anyway. I've been meditating every night, for progressive more time. Seems to be helping a lot with anxiety.
I'm still on bupe, but don't really plan to get off of it this time. I mean, I don't know. I'm only 21 - don't want to be on it for the rest of my life, but every time i try to get off my withdrawal symptoms are insane and never ending. 5 months later I'm still in acute status and i say fuck it. So this time, staying on bupe is me doing something different.

Well I don't have a serious problem (far from one) and right now I'm in a little trouble.. So support would be great to have during this tough process for me. Not even being able to hit a joint is tough and annoying. I'm so young right now. I don't plan on it being permanent, at least not yet. Catch my drift?

Yeah I can relate to that. I'm only 21 and facing a life of sobriety, I was even sober on my 21st birthday and haven't even really done the whole bar/club thing, but i know i need to stay sober since I did have a serious problem. It's hard though, because i never abused alcohol really. But i know it will lead me to drugs from past experiences, so it's best to stay away.
But yeah, if you aren't ready-you aren't ready. I get it. and who knows, maybe in a year your life will improve enough that you decide to make it permanent anyway? Maybe you won't and it wont be a big deal. Either way, i wish you luck on the year.
I'm BORED. Any ideas? boredom = relapse = bad things happen. Need to find something to do.. Hard when i just deleted all my friends phone numbers for recoveries sake.![:\](https://bluelight.org/xf/BL_Images/Orig_Emoji/wrygrin.gif "wry grin :\")

congratulations on All the amazing accomplishments.. there is one easy thing about quitting cigs, it absolutely does nothing for us, doesnt make us high, I always think of that when i get a craving.. I think why in hell would i do that again.. idk quit those.. huhh, i would have to look but im thinking two months ago, dont miss them at all.. but as far as the caffine goes, me and cafine will be hanging for life, I just cant seem to come up with any damn good reason to quit that, so as far as im concerned they can bury me in a monster can
On the boredom thing... make a list of everything you want to accomplish in life.. break that down into things that seem possible, then break those possible things into easily performed actions.. then hammer away at all those easily performed actions and watch you life explode.. every time you are bored take out the list of easily accomplished things and get a few done..
112 Days clean from everything but ciggs/coffee. I really want to quit cigs, I can do fine from like noon till I go to bed but I wake up the next morning with such intense cravings it's ridiculous. Really hating cigs right now.

If you are feeling stress or need something to do, go for a run. I always find that it helps big time. You ever tried online gaming before?
Caffeine and prescription medicine is all I'm going to allow myself for the month. And its not prescription medicine as in "yeah man my doc is so kool he givez me 60 hydros an' 30 oxys a month plus my xanax an' valium bro but its chill they're prescription". I admit, I take dex for ADD, but I didn't take that today, and won't take it tomorrow, and don't feel so much as a buzz off it.
Luckily I was smart with the cigs, apart from picking up the habit, of course: I stopped after a relatively short period of time.
I smoked hardcore (like a pack a day, I know some people smoke like three times that much but w/e broface) for a month and a half before...simply...stopping...along with like four other drugs.
Shit is insane, and I'm still going through it. The most devilish psychotic bipolar illness ever; its weird because there's a real physical component too. Luckily I'm in the calm of the storm. Not for long though. Sometimes its all I can do to writhe around in my bed - sounds kinda funny now that I write it, but it hurts so much. Not gonna lie, I would be high as hell right now if I had opiates/oids.

The Dr, Yeah I've tried gaming before - Trying to stay away from it because video games were my first addiction, I used to weigh 235. (weigh 155 currently) So I don't wanna risk getting fat again haha.
I had 365 days PLAYED on world of warcraft in under 2 years, so, yeah - not trying to do that again.

Well I used to play video games also. Everquest 2 was my game of choice.. I had around the same amount of days played although I also kept myself in shape. I found that playing a video game isn't something bad to be addicting too as long as it isn't harming your body. If it is something that makes you happy then why not do it? I still have friends that I played everquest with years ago. It wasn't until after I quit playing everquest and started using drugs that things would turn sour.
I know I previously said I didn't have a drug problem, which is true. About a year ago I did however. Start gaming man, fuck the amount of days played. This world is fake as fuck anyway the way I look at it, and it's not like you still can't get out and enjoy things. That's the way I look at it. It's WITHOUT A DOUBT a positive coping skill.
Hell if anyone is down, I say we pick a online game and dominate it. Make a guild called the blue lighters and pawn mass nubs. I need to blast up the super computer anyway and I'm taking the semester off. May sound like a dumb idea to some, but I find it awesome. Also as I mentioned above, a good way to stay off drugs.
