Trying to move on from opiates.

[Franklin Stein]

Hello everyone,


First time posting, can't wait to get this off my chest.


Been an addict for the past 8 years, not always using, but always on my mind. Just finished a two year run from Ms and OC daily, taken orally, 360mg and 240mg respectively(not at the same time, either/or). Had 10 days clean until about 10 hours ago.


Leading up to the clean time, I cut out the OC and tapered the Ms to 60-80mg a day over the course of a month, then nothing for 10 whole days, was feeling great about everything, only complaint is the boredom.


The problem seemed to be chance (found 60mg Ms cleaning out the couch) and mental fortitude, mostly boredom.


Now that I'm out and have cut off my supplies, how do you all cope with the boredom? Personal experience with how long it took to keep focused on things for longer than 5 mins would be appreciated and what things that you liked doing while using vs. things you like doing while clean.

I think this would be more suited for Sober Living http://www.bluelight.org/vb/forums/269-Sober-Living

When you are bored or have nothing to do and your mind gets going thinking about useing etc....try to find a sober friend you can call to meet up with for coffee or go to a movie or whatever just to get your mind on something else...also when you are bored maybe try and find a local NA or AA meeting to attend...Good luck you can do it!

Thank you so much for the warm welcome and all the great reads, neversickanymore. I'll start on some of this right now.

MrCream, thank you for your input, I reached out to my sisters this morning, we've been really distant for a while, but they know what I'm going through and said they are willing to help whenever I need a little positive reinforcement or just to hang out.


kleinerkiffer, thanks for the proper move. I hope it's okay to try and keep this around as a journal. Maybe it will keep me motivated and help people about to go through the same thing, since my clean time has to start at day one, again, today.

 

[w0w0mg]

Boredom can be so insidious can't it?
I think that's one of the many reasons I relapse, if you can try to find a hobby it helps A LOT.
Even trying out AA/NA meetings may help you personally. You just need to broaden your horizons.

When I was using I liked to commit retail theft - no lie.
When I am sober - I LOVED working out.

Best of luck to you mate, remember there are people going thru the exact same thing, myself included.
Much love to you!

Welcome to BL! Personally, I'm about 7 weeks into quitting a 3-year H habit and I know how killer the boredom can be. I've relapsed countless times and I'm sure boredom has a lot to do with that track record.

Honestly, one of the reasons I spend time on BL is to keep boredom at bay. I get on here and read and read and read, and I find it helps...at least some of the time.

Another trick I've developed: so long as I don't use, I tell myself I'm allowed to do whatever the fuck I feel like (within reason ). So I watch a shit-ton of TV. I read bullshit magazines. I play video games intended for people 1/3 my age. If I wanted an ice-cream sundae with 5 cherries on top, I'd give it to myself. Sometimes I want to lie on the floor in the fetal position and cry b/c I want dope so badly...so that's what I do. If I stay clean, I give my appetites free rein.

I started doing this after about a year of following my first impulse: trying to be a macho, ascetic hard-ass. I gloried in self-mastery and control. Unfortunately, that approach worked till it didn't, which often was when I got bored. And when I failed under this approach, I saw it as a failure of character and personal mettle. This made me want to use *more*.

I completely endorse the idea of getting productive hobbies, of volunteering, of getting into shape, etc. And if those things keep you healthy, then awesome. But the way I see it, in early recovery, I'm still pretty sick. I need to have easy expectations on my behavior. My *only* goal right now is to make it through today without picking up. I'll do whatever mortifying, lame-ass thing I have to do to make that happen. At bedtime, I'm not always proud of how I've spent my day. But I'm a lot closer to happy than I am on the days when I slip.

Main thing is, give yourself the latitude to find what works for you. If you slip up, that's fine; part of the process. Just dust yourself off and keep going. And keep writing on BL!

 

[Franklin Stein]

w0w0mg and simco, thank you both for the inspiration, made my day. Made me feel like the relapse was a speed bump instead of a brick wall.

I have a couple hobbies, the Dark Souls series, playing music (bass), and love reading sci-fi/fantasy books and short stories, and trying to get back into jogging/running.

So far so good, went for a short 20 mins jog and had a good breakfast, no symptoms yet. I'll check back in tomorrow.

 

[w0w0mg]

Fantastic! Keep up the great work - Just take it one day at a time, one minute at a time if needed!

 

[simco]

[MENTION=46704]Franklin[/MENTION], what kind of music do you like (I asked since you play bass)? Playing music has dug me out of several holes. Running is great too, tho I've personally been too fuckin lazy to make myself get back on that horse.

 

[cj]

The boredom is rough for sure. The only cure I know is to get out and do things that you enjoy. Having a hobby may be the most important part of getting clean. Without one your just staring at the wall thinking of getting high.

 

[MrRoot]

Hobbies are definately needed to keep ourself busy when we try to stay sober. The more I feel cravings the more I need to plunge into my hobbies. Idk though if it is about my bi-polar disorder or why but plenty of others suffering from the same get obsessed on what they do. Like there isn't any shades of grey for not doing or doing it as deeply as we can.

It can be anything. I have recently spent thousands to modeling and miniature wargames and sometimes even have spent all the time I am awake either playing against others or modeling, painting and getting new army lists done. Same applied to cars and once I slept in a jump suit for a week so I didn't have to change when I started working with my newest project.

While I did drugs recreationally I spend all my time getting more knowledge on my DOC and how to potentiate the effects further. I read 50+ books on pharmacology during last period I used.

It doesn't matter me as I stay sober atleast but others may think I am one weird guy who gets obsessed into things. I am practically an Otaku most of the time but I have also sprees when I am more socially active and can hang out with others without especially doing anything significant.

Luckily rest of the world seems to know how to keep themselves in balance without getting too deeply obsessed into what they are doing.

 

[Franklin Stein]

simco, I love to listen to prog rock, jazz fusion, and I suppose some sort of classical/avant-garde classical, but love playing whatever.

Day two is going great, just got done with work and about to go on another short jog. No symptons still, except for being slightly more aggressive than I need to be.

cj and Mr Roots, thanks for the info, trying to be more productive in my down time, it's just really hard sometimes.

 

[starting_over]

Hey I'm trying to move on from everything (especially opiates). Exercise, playing video games, hanging out with friends who don't drink / do drugs --- all help to varying degrees.

Best of luck

...

damn, that's some technical stuff. anymore, i stick to e-z stuff myself (nominally a guitar player). but, good deal! impressive!

 

[manboychef]

Have you checked out some mental health help OP. Generally the people that become addicted to opiates have a problem in their life that they themselves cannot control. I have OCD and panic disorder. I used to not feel so scared all the time. I would check out the dsm IV. Here is a good resource :http://allpsych.com/disorders/dsm/

Other than that, having hobbies is amazing. I find I have the most clarity in my day when I am watering my garden in the morning and night. It is a soulful retreat when things are a bit rough. I am dealing with some health issues and it helps me focus on something else for awhile.

When you are bored or have nothing to do and your mind gets going thinking about useing etc....try to find a sober friend you can call to meet up with for coffee or go to a movie or whatever just to get your mind on something else...also when you are bored maybe try and find a local NA or AA meeting to attend...Good luck you can do it!

i second this NA idea..the soul crushing boredom when u come off opiates is awful..i just toughed it out at home but i should have tried to do something..the lack of energy was so crippling as well..together it made it hard to do anything..i think an NA meeting would be best idea though because u would be around others that are going through the same thing..

just thinking back to the months of intense boredom after opiates makes me cringe

MrRoot my friend, you may need what doctors refer to as a full frontal lobotomy .

There are personality tests that will help you find a doctor. Getting my mental health treated was key in my recovery. A lot of the reasons I self medicated have been helped with therapy and medication.

damn, that's some technical stuff. anymore, i stick to e-z stuff myself (nominally a guitar player). but, good deal! impressive!

Thanks, I cant even wrap my mind around guitar, too many chords and weird finger postions, stressed out just thinking about it, lol.

Day 3 and 4 were great, really productive!! Almost no symptoms, just saying things without much of a filter, you all know how it goes.
