Addiction...

It's something I'm really struggling with right now. What addictions have you battled with/ or currently battling? How did you overcome it? Did you find a higher calling? Did you make a personal promise to yourself? I need some success stories. You guys are like a second family to me that doesn't pass judgment. And if you do, it is usually well deserved. Feel free to post here with some self disclosure.

Thank you.

About the only positive I can conjure up about it is that it makes alcohol more effective.

That benefit, of course, is offset somewhat by the fact that I now find myself playing "Brick Breaker" on my Blackberry for hours at a time.

To each his own, I suppose.

In my experience, mixing dilaudid and tequila is equivalent to removing your brain and placing it in a jar overnight. I have learned that you don't want to operate machinery any heavier than a blender.

Even if I tried or wanted to stop drinking on the weekends, football season would absolutely end any sobriety for me ... I went a month once with no beer. Of course, it was in spring ...

I started by cutting the drugs first. I went cold turkey and walked away from everyone I knew that used. After I accomplished that I cut down My drinking to where it was not an issue. I then quit smoking cold turkey. Unfortunately I substituted food every thing else and gained 200 pounds.I have now started the weight loss part and have lost 80 pounds.

The thing with most people I know is that they are so busy looking ahead at what obstacles are in the way. That they forget about the ones they have overcome.

I am no Sister Mary Sunshine. It was hard as hell and most ex user's I meet love to feel sorry for themselves. I would not consider myself fully recovered until I lose the weight.

Best advice I can give anyone is don't feel sorry for yourself and either get busy living or get busy dying.

Yeah ... I've taken brief breaks just to see how bad it is and to get a feel for what it will be like ... Oh, my God. It isn't pretty. Shakes, sweats, sensations of panic, etc.

I'm not looking forward to it, I can tell you that much, Mr. stumppy. I've done some research on methods and means to make it easier and, apparently, there isn't a lot you can do other than gut it out. Lots of showers, chocolate, exercise, etc. It's going to suck the great weenie from hell, to be sure.

I'm not sure which is worse, the mental or physical side of it. All I do know is I'd rather have someone beat the crap out of me daily than deal with withdraws.

You are so right about the mental aspect ... my brain goes completely haywire. It's as though I have two voices conversing in my head. One says, "Ok. This is bad, but it's temporary. We're getting off the drugs and that's good." And the other says, "Oh yeah ... that's right ... I remember now ... Ok ... got it ... now, let's get some damn drugs."

I take solace in the knowledge that others before me have done it successfully, though. I know it can be done.
