What do you do to stay clean??

Im on methadone and anti-depressants, I dont hang around any IV users(most of the time) or opiate users. Taking my dog for a walk helps a lot, sometimes BL helps but often it makes me crave more for obvious reasons, it just depends on what im looking at.

Often smoking pot(or a one off benzo dose) helps me stop thinkng about other drugs which is just replacing one habit for the other but id rather be a mullhead than a smackhead but then again id rather be a smackhead than a xanny/val addict so I keep everything in check and use the benzo's for their purpose and not to get something resembling a high.

Sex is good ;) and just about anything else that you need to use your mind or body for is good.

Im craving some H or some meth(amphetamine) atm and have been all morning and ive kept the cravings at bay by cooking for my family, replying to emails and keeping busy but now I need to find something else coz my mind is already trying to find ways to manipulate a certain somene into giving me money for a shot of some meth :( such is life though and I need to control it.

Number 3 is exactly what im asking......what ARE the things you do to keep distracted. I allready know that distracting yourself is a way to help stay clean, thats why im asking what things people do to distract themselves....you see?

I don't have many hobbies or interests (drugs seemed to replace them all). I just surf the net, listen to music, watch DVD's, hang out with friends, do housework... whatever I can to keep my mind off drugs.
 
Strenuous exercise. Work outrageous hours. Keep moving, don't sit still anymore than necessary.
 
i know some may not want to here this but i believe a spiritual change is what most addicts need. i hate 12 step groups, but i feel they are on point when they talk of a spiritual malady and consequent awakening being needed. it needs to be something that makes you look at your life and click inside. doesnt have to be sudden, can be gradual and is probably more solid if gradual.

i lived in a buddhist monastery for a year when i was trying to get off H this last time and it has worked WAY better than any rehab, outpatient, detox, counseling ive been through. i do see a therapist once a week, have a suboxone dr i see once a month(take subs everyday), and a PCP i see for antidepressants. i also have a wonderful gf i intend on marrying. i work full time and i smoke a looooot of cigs and drink tea every morning.

i had to give my money and phone to my parents for the first 4 months. was isolated on top of a mountain. drastic? yes, but so is using IV heroin for years.

im going to be taking a 7 month intensive course for drug abuse counseling. im excited.
 
Ah, come on.....nobody has any ideas on what activities help you stay clean by keeping your mind busy?.....i guess we just got ourselves a bunch of hardcore addicts here on BL.
 
Haven't had much clean time lately, but when I do try to stay clean I listen to music, play video games, watch tv, and I try going to the park when the weather is nice

Whacking off helps alot too <_<
 
You basically try to do anything but the drugs, according to everyone's individual preferences. What I like to do is draw, masturbate, tackle my boyfriend, play video games, take pictures, go for walks, go for a drive, climb a tree, go for a run, cook myself something fantastic, take a shit(cause i can now being off opiates)
 
cooking is a good distraction for me, i can chill in the kitchen, clean, cook some amazing shit,
 
Find another addiction. That works for sure, but you don't know how much worst that addiction is. Maybe its relatively harmless like making a thousand origami cranes for that one wish, or making a million for several wishes (Don't really do the million that was an example of what not to do). Just find something to fill in your hole that drugs used to hold.

What did you do while you were high on H? Did you enjoy any activities? Could you still enjoy them?

I'm very fond of psychedelics, they have some sort of way to connect you to yourself.
