I closed....I read....I reopened.

I am going to be a dick about this because from personal experience of dealing with my own drug addiction.

Don't do that shit...period. Theres not much else to say really.

Thanks to stimulants and not quitting when it would have been easy for me I ended up in the hospital twice, lost 60 +/- lbs, teeth problems (still), chemical imbalance and depression from it, loss of friends and family shunning me for a time.

You want all that? You want to end up ripping people off to feed your habit? you want to end up with heart problems because you wanted to party? you want to end up with a needle in your arm in some alley with hepatitis or even worse possibly AIDS? Oh yeah everyone says they won't shoot but at some point the offer will be there and you may be curious again then your down for an even bigger habit.

Then you decide to quit...ohhh...this is where it gets fun. You stop doing it and everything is fine, but your "friends" don't understand why so they keep offering it or do it in front of you. So of course they don't respect your decision so you really have to limit association with them or dump them all together in order to get and keep clean.

After a day or two of detox you begin to go through the fiend stage where you are scraping up anything that looks like a white powder and snorting it up (true story it happens). Of course you can't find a fix because you cleaned house of everything (if you really wanted to quit), because of this you begin to get mean and desperate. The people trying to help you are the ones you lash out at, you say mean...very mean things, you fight with them (sometimes physically). You get cramps, sweats, sleepless nights and a slew of other symptoms.

Once that is over you have to deal with the fact that you are now an addict and every time you see the stuff you have to fight your urge to want to do it "just one more time".

You wanna do it then do it, go ahead and hook yourself up and do a shit ton of that crap. You go ahead and waste your brain, your talent, and your body on a temporary feeling that is going to suck the life out of you....but if you want my sympathy in the matter then you can go fukk yourself.

I speak from personal experience and the pain of addiction which I still to this day have to be careful about, don't go that same route it isn't very glorious at all.

 

take a break from drinking/partying, so that you're not in that situation. Start hanging out with friends who you know aren't into that stuff. Not putting yourself in a situation where the issue will present itself will help a lot. If need be, like John said, go to a detox if it gets bad. I believe this is your second time, so hopefully you can check it now with little problem. If it gets hard, tell your family. One of my sisters had an issue with drugs, the way she got over it was with family support. She's been sober for quite a while now.

 

my cousin had a drug addiction. he ended up stealing his grandmother's jewelry to feed his drug habit. he got put in jail. he started complaining of headaches, but no one listened to him b/c they figured he was just craving drugs or whatever. ends out he had a brain tumor, and died in jail.

hope that helps.

 

I agree with everyone. Stop putting yourself in situations where the coke will be present. I assume your ex gf knows that you were coked up, beg and plead with her for help and support. Ask her to hang out and do stuff with you when these parties are going on so you can stay away and not feel lonely. You're catching this early, so hopefully it won't be too bad. Good luck meng.

 

we gave you advice the last time you did it! Don't ****ing do it unless you have the intentions of ruining your god damned life.

 

bah...

 

Watch Basketball Diaries and see if you still want to do that shit afterwards. :ugh:

 

Advice? Simple... don't become a coke head.

 

Stop being spineless and falling for peer pressure. So if you friends tell you they are jumping off a 20 story building, will you go ahead and join them?

 

Trust me man, from experience...That is a road you don't even want to start going down. I've seen so many people, myself included, go from just using it occasionally to using it all out, regularly...That shit can take over quick! If you have an addictive personality like me, it makes it even harder to stay away from stuff like that. People said it before, and I'll say it again, STOP THAT SHIT! And that means cutting yourself off from ANYONE who uses it, be your best friend or just any friend...It only leads to trouble; a kind of trouble that you can't even begin to imagine.
