How to be happy while maintaining multiple addictions
    #26744282 - 06/14/20 03:13 PM (3 years, 7 months ago)

So let me just start with my daily routine to preface.  I start the day with several hard seltzer’s, a spliff of 50/50 marijuana & tobacco and at least 20 mg of adderall.  As I sit there..smoking, drinking, scrolling through my phone waiting for the adderall to kick in I feel at peace.  This lasts for a few hours at most.  By the end of every single day I’ve ingested 15-20 units of alcohol, an 8th of weed, several cigarettes and at least 60mg of adderall.  The reason I’m writing this is because of a growing sense of exhaustion, hopelessness, physical deterioration, and a general disinterest in engaging with the things I used to love or society in general.  My question is how I can either maintain or increase my daily doses of these substances while simultaneously improving my mental health.  I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired.

cut out the alcohol and take less adderall.

The perfect example of a non-sequiter right there. Hard drugs DO NOT EQUAL good mental health. It took me 21 of my 36 years on the planet to learn this.

I hope you learn it soon too. You will feel increasingly shit as you do this and age. It's unavoidable. A clean life is the only one that brings mental wellness.

Let it be seen that you are nothing. And in knowing that you are nothing... there is nothing to lose, there is nothing to gain. What can happen to you? Something can happen to the body, but it will either heal or it won't. What's the big deal? Let life knock you to bits. Let life take you apart. Let life destroy you. It will only destroy what you are not.

:whathesaid:  Anything else is a lie.  What you posted is textbook poly drug addiction OP.
Countless others have been in your position and have reclaimed their health, sanity, and have cultivated a sense of peace and contentedness in their lives - there’s no reason you can’t too.  I would taper off of those drugs before you dig yourself a hole so deep it seems hopeless to get out.  But know, even if you do that - even that’s not the end.  People recover all the time.  But at the same time, some do not.  Choose wisely.  Best of all luck to you.

You cannot increase your drug intake which you are addicted to and become happier. The less addicted you are to substances or any behavior, the happier you will be. Quit the alcohol and cigarettes at least, they are toxic too.

I love you guys.  This post was half trolling.  The routine and feelings of hopelessness are unfortunately very real but I’m under no delusion that increasing the substances is going to help at all.  I don’t really know what to do anymore.  I’d love to cut back,  I’d love to just feel what it’s like to be genuinely sober for a day.  I’m not sure I’ve experienced that since I was like 16 (28 now).

My own addictions led me down a dark path. It doesnt sound to me like you're on the same road I was but let me warn you, nothing good will come of this. Some people have the ability to use different substances and just put them down when the party is over. Others, like myself, dont seem to have a shut off. I pushed and pushed and watched my life crumble around me. I lost everything, started shooting up, and was living on the streets. I had a psychotic break and went to prison on a 6 year sentence. Prison saved my life and now I'm slowly getting the things back that I once had, my family and friends, my self respect. I don't know that anything as extreme as what happened to me will happen to you but I can tell you that you'd be better off quitting now if you feel that you're developing a real problem. It may be hard now but it's only going to get harder. Keep your head up. Don't ever think that you can't do it. You absolutely can.

prison though is not what anyone needs unless they killed or raped someone, or molested them.

One of the more frustrating aspects of my addiction is my ability to remain arguably functional.  From the outside looking in my life could appear idealistic.  The bills are paid, until this whole pandemic I’ve always held down a job.  It’s not as if this is a new a problem either;  the substances and doses vary but that’s about it.  Together from a societal perspective on the outside,  dying on the inside.  Engaging habitually in behaviors at the core of my soul I know are detrimental.  Yet here I sit.

If you want to get sober you can do it. Get to work
