January 2021 - Drug Wrapup Month 6
#27132309 - 01/07/21 07:12 AM (3 years, 2 months ago) |
|

About 35 years ago I inhaled my first ether, launching my drug career.
In November 2019 I basically quit major recreational drugs.
In mid-2020 I quit alcohol after the alcohol related death of my childhood friend, and I switched from a 100mg caffeine cup of coffee to a 50mg caffeine tablet.
Now, January 2021, there are two "drugs" left:
1..that 50mg caffeine tablet 2..an rx 5mg valium tablet
Starting as of yesterday, I halved my valium to 2.5mg and my caffeine to 25mg, for a 10 day period.
After that, if all goes well, I quit caffeine and take 1.25mg valium for the next 10 days.
Then on day 21, before the month is out, I'll quit the valium too and be completely sober.
Just had a big brain zap. I'm a bit jumpy. I'm a bit shivery, the withdrawal is obviously happening.
Wish me luck guys.
I feel I basically took the caffeine against the sedation of the valium and the valium against the jitteriness of the caffeine
Time to end this mild-alcoholism-on-prescription and the caffeine I took to cope.
Looks like february will be sober.
I've basically been a druggie since I was a kid watching He-Man in the 80s.
Time to sober up.

Caffeine is more addictive than nicotine.

I find the reverse true, its much easier for me to control caffeine. If I use nicotine it simply WILL turn to abuse so I can never smoke again.
With caffeine, there won't be excesses.

I smoked for 5 years and had a much easier time dropping tobacco than caffeine. Probably because tobacco tastes awful and makes your lungs feel like a bag of dirt. Coffee is soooo much more socially acceptable and so much more accessible. It took me years to eliminate caffeine from my diet. While I was able to quit cigarettes cold turkey my first try.
Of course everyone has a different experience. My best friend hasn’t been able to quit cigarettes for longer than a week for the last 8 years.

I hope benzodiazepine withdrawal wont give me NINE MONTHS OF DISCOMFORT like it did when I quit them earlier.
So far so good though.
My caffeine is in half but so is my valium so my mind is clearer.

Havent used a psychedelic since 2019.
I harvested 2 seasons of Wavy Caps and gave them away to friends.
No further drug use is planned, but of course you never know.

Haha yeah I guess the straight edge are in sparse company around here. I'm many ways having been to a state of mind can be as good as being a returning guest.
I wish you a clear path for whatever road you take.

It's a board for growing gourmet mushrooms, but sometimes criminals sneak on and post about their criminal behavior.

Congrats man, I love it. Sounds like you know what you want, and how to get there. Keep doing what's right for you, that's all that matters.

If I smoke weed I get an ischemic event requiring nitro vasodilators. I might even get a heart attack from it, like I had before. Weed gave me a lot of anxiety issues. Weed fed my allergies. Weed and I do not get along. However I support the Cause of weed and cannabis legalization. I cheer the legalization wave sweeping the world.
I believe in the good weed can do in the world.
Psychedelics gave me NINE YEARS OF UNINTERRUPTED HPPD until it finally faded.
Still I back psychedelics 100%.
My final trip was a 100 hour trip with no sleep inbetween, a final and utter Tour De Force.
for the first 50 hours, I sunk to the veepest hell and in the subsequent 50 hours I soared to the highest heaven. For more than a month after the trip i was in ecstasy because of what I experienced, and it made any further drug use obsolete.
I got broken down to the very foundation, then rebuilt anew in a full new configuration.
I felt it was time to close the book on reshuffling my deck on drugs and that now the time had come to actually PLAY the deck in sober life.
I'm pro-drugs, I'm just not taking them myself anymore.
Psychedelics saved my life on several occasions.
I am in their debt.
Their therapeutic potential is ginormous, and I know because they HEALED ME.
And when HEALED, you no longer need THE MEDICINE.
My love for the Medicine will remain, cradle to grave.

Those were the days my friend, we thought they'd never end.... Divine is the fruit of the mind, burnt is the soul who has been starved or overfilled. You can always come back to the tree, but you may find it barren or bitter by then. Although never walking away can be limiting.
Be the level that feels right Wiccan.
It's all a wave made of waves, it doesn't break till you die.

Even if you don't really have the desire, I read somewhere( HERE) that eating a mild dose of mushrooms every couple of years is really beneficial. And then like 300 other people agreed.
But I am very happy to see you making these choices. It will surely add many years to your life if that is what is fated!
