wish Y?all the best

[sonicwhite]

It seems that I can?t help ppl here because my faith is the key to my healing. It?s unfortunate that all I wanted to be was an ever shining light in dark places.

I don?t mean to offend and you all know who I stand for. Maybe most of you will be thankful I?m gone but I?ll keep you all in my prayers.

I wish y?all the best and try to stay positive in your fight with darkness.

Stick around mate, you certainly have some wisdom. Just be aware that some people may not want to come to Bluelight and have someone preaching Christianity at them. Its not really the place IMO. If it helps you though, that's great

It doesn't have to stop you though. I don't know the details of the situation but it sounds like there is a better way to go about what you are trying to do.

If you are trying to help people who are struggling, you really can't expect anything in return otherwise it's more like extortion than help. I don't hold any religious views anymore but even still i have to remind myself that what works for me may not work for everyone. There are some basic fundamental things that everyone needs- like food, shelter, stability, support network, but how we go about getting those things, and what those things look like once we get them will be different, among so many other things.

If helping people is what you truly wish to do then religion or faith should not stop you.. understand not everyone holds spiritual beliefs and that is not essential to getting off drugs and staying off them, nor is it essential to have a meaningful and fulfilling life with loving friends and rewarding, healthy relationships.

There are so many basic fundamental needs that humans share. It is often the neglect of these needs that leads one to addiction and substance use disorders, not the lack of spiritual belief or faith in god.

Thanks for the encouragement my dude

Ya I want to stick around. I just have an unrelenting desire to tell ppl about my faith. I just want to share how I am getting out of all of this.

I?m currently going they klonopin Xanax and suboxone withdrawals. My faith is the only thing that has made me not lose my marbles.

Anyways guys thanks. I?ll do my best to just try to listen.

There is nothing wrong with wanting to share your experience but you can't force people to listen.

Get it out there, feel free to express yourself and share what is helping you, but don't expect others to be receptive or to agree.

It's ok to think differently or hold different beliefs, no one should be able to tell you how to think.


Opioid and benzo WD are pretty intense on their own and even more so when coupled together. Take care of yourself and do your best to take it easy. Getting through those WDs are tough enough on their own, let alone trying to deal with other responsibilities. Even the strongest faith won't remove the risk of the dangers of detoxing. Please be safe and feel free to PM if you have any questions. I've gone through drug induced psychosis and have had a seizure from benzo WD. Hopefully you have some people around you who can help you, the church might be a good place to look if you need...

Hang in there and don't let a little discouragement cause you to give up. It's good to want to help others and encourage others with similar struggles but don't let that become a distraction from your recovery. Focus on yourself and make sure you get through this difficult time. You have the rest of your life to help others, right now you need to take care of yourself my friend.

Give yourself a week or three off and come back to us in a possibly better headspace. After nearly 6 years of great contributions it would really be a shame to swear off coming back here ever again. I wish you Luck in your poly-drug W/D either way.
