Alcoholism is hard enough to bear on one's own...

 

[Somage]

Me mate. Just off to bed now though late here in UK

 

[justpeachy]

I've been dealing why addiction for many years. Both stimulants and opiates. I'm clean from opiates but not so much with stimulants.

 

[Somage]

Alcohol and drugs is all that takes my mind off the miserable existence I am leading. You are not alone

 

[booray]

Former meth addict here. Been clean for a year, but far too late for recovery unfortunately.

 

[fred farkle]

Dude,meth?? I wish you well in keeping away from that horrible shit!!

No problem keeping away from it now. Wish I had known that sobriety would be so easy. It would've saved my life.

[Xdyzine]

Benzos for years and alcohol .. typical braindead zombie here

 

[-Toplox-]

Alcoholic. Been sober for 5 months and I want to end my life just as much.

Congrats. That's my struggle. I got clean from heroin and have been for over 8 years now but started using meth to help with energy and such occasionally and at first I didn't like it enough to get addicted, so as a good little addict I told myself in complete denial that I would never get hooked on it. Sure thing bud. After using it 1-2 months just here and there I noticed that I was actually craving the next time I would do it, then it just went to hell in a hand basket from there. It's even harder than opiates for me because I am very functional on it. I maintain a good paying job, I own a home, I have a husband (who uses it too now but not as much as me), and overall it gives me more energy to get things done that I wouldn't have the energy for any other time. I know that's an excuse and the addict in me but it's so hard to change that train of thought. Ughhhh. Sorry I just spewed this all out on you, I assumed you could understand given you have been here before and are clean now.

 

[bad luck]

I am an alcoholic too. Sometimes I drink a lot, sometimes less, but every week. I try not to drink too much for a hangover.

 

[Toptock]

Pretty much I assumed, coming here, that most everyone was an addict in some way.

 

[BridgeJumper]

Hello

I'm a dopefiend
Been hooked since last year
I drink too and did countless less strong drugs in the past

 

[ansiedad]

Alcohol on the weekends. Weed in the week.
Benzos for a months. I'm trying to left benzos. I think that bdzs became a drug for me, not a med yet.

 

[awfullife]

I have alcoholism. Sober from booze 8 years. Sober from stimulants 2 years. Stimulants fucked my life bad. My life was brilliant on paper when I was on the booze.
Down deep nothing is good in me. Booze was my identity. Now its lost.

 

[Tkmiz_Tsukumizu]

what do you take,if i may inquire??

Adhd mainly but anymore just to get through the day or feel a rush. Trying to ween myself off though or not take as much anymore.

 

[popcorn]

i was a coke addict for many years, i switched that out for heroin. been attempting recovery for 2 years as of today been fully clean a couple of months

not sure if it will last, think im just doing it to get my life back on track as im quite functional when using.

 

[Trans Magus]

I'm looking to get more into weed, gabapentin and kratom to deal with things. Difficult, though, to source the weed.

 

[SHThrowAway213]

Yes, It is 8 am and I'm already really drunk.
I just wish I had something stronger.
I drink nearly every day these days

 

[ThrownAwayTom]

Yep, I hate to see @WornOutLife go but it's for a good reason. I smoke weed all day and have for years, and I drink every single day that my wallet will allow for (my weed guy does credit).

Once I hit 1 or 2pm I get the huge itch to pour my first one or I feel so incredibly fucking bored. I actually threw up last night for the first time this year from too much. Good times.

If you've been clean for a whole year, isn't that enough time to be recovered, or moving towards full recovery? What's it done that makes it impossible for recovery? Is it fried dopamine receptors?

I'm not familiar with meth, it's not much of a thing in the UK luckily.

Unfortunately, alcohol is and I drink more than my fair share. I've started having 4 or 5 days off a week recently to cut back though.

 

[GarageKarate07]

I drink and have CBD oil and I have nicotine. I realised I had to buy the big bottle of booze to save cash. Took me a while to figure that out. I guess I could just buy a gallon? Oh and coffee!! I'm all kinds of high. Cant really do street drugs so this will be fine. The CBD I have is pretty heavy stuff.

Recovery is more than just quitting. It involves rebuilding your life, and I so thoroughly destroyed mine that I'll never have a life worth living for again.

 

[victoria91]

I don't take either but I work with those take are addicted to drugs and alcohol and if anything it makes me want to take drugs . I can totally understand why people use now

 

[Rockman]

If i had money im sure i would smoke weed everyday. I use occasionally alcohol, weed (most), extasy, psychedelics, energy drinks. Tried amphetamine but total shit for me, do nothing.

 

[Death_the_kid]

I drink everyday its the only way i can scape from my demons and the hell that Is being sober for me, in someway drinking makes me cope with life but at the same Time destroy my relationships and achievements, now i can be highly functional with horrendous amounts of alcohol but when i cross the line (something that happens almost ever lately) i become an horrible person And dnt remember what i do the night before, y wake up cover in blood And reading mi conversations in WhatsApp with friends And girlfriend and family And cant believe what i said to them And all the pain And harm that i cause.

I travel thru the Path of the delirium Tremens as well And i really cant see myself living without this curse that i learn to call bless even when i know Is destroying me, i suposse its what the people call a silent suicide.

[Death_the_kid]
