trouble with sobriety
    #7872311 - 01/13/08 03:35 AM (16 years, 19 days ago)

so i get drunk every day, eat xanax, hit the doob and a couple other pills. ive been trying to get clean for the past couple of months but it doesn't seem to be working out for me. i mean getting fucked up is something i enjoy but i feel like im not going anywhere in my life, its really frustrating and leading to depression issues. its not really any of the other shit but the alcohol problem. can anyone give me advice on the road to sobriety. I really need some help with this.
Thanks, Yay

What I'm about to say isn't anything tangible or practical. It's mental advice. You need to change the way you think about this, the language you use.

Do you find yourself telling yourself "I need to.." "I should..." "I gotta try to.." - those are all excuses, they are prefixes to sentences that negate what comes after them.

I AM getting clean. I will NOT get fucked up today. I will NOT get fucked up tomorrow.

this wont work for everybody but i hit a slump this year and where did i turn? magic mushrooms. My friend had died in a car accident that morning and i just wanted to think to myself in an altered state to see what i'd get out of it. I had been debating quitting because lately this is what i've noticed: when i drink, i party. when i smoke, i just chill. i like to party more then just be stoned these days. haven't smoked weed since my last trip nor wanted to, my consciousness got kicked in the face and told me to wake the fuck up. i've kicked the habit for 2 months now which doesnt seem like a big deal, but i havent gone one month without smoking for the last 5 years. although when good marijuana comes around, i'll light up, but wont get back into the habitual use i was in.

i wouldnt really recommend tripping after someone you know passes away but i've never had a bad trip and going in i even knew hey this might get a little funky. i dwelled on his death for maybe 15 minutes then just went deep into my mind and how lucky i am to be alive and be healthy and smoking weed was starting to tamper with my lifestyle of exercise and being in shape. i'm not bashing anyone for smoking this was just the effects on me, my lungs started to get phlegm and now i'm back to being able to run like i never smoked befor.

after the first few days (or week) sobriety does become easier. depending on how long you've been using, steadily, your brain/body has to readjust to producing it's own dopamine or other chemicals you've been 'artificially' feeding it.


also, omr's advice is solid

If you have been self medicating with ethanol to the extent that delirium tremens might be a danger the xanax may help you avoid serious withdrawal symtoms.:eek:

yea thats so true, when you've been getting fucked up on a daily basis for a long while and then you go sober for a day, shit gets real weird. you feel like shit mostly, but it is a trip in more ways then one.

SOLID advice. Find something you're into dude. It's harder than it sounds, but once you find a hobby, the drugs simply turn into a recreational activity that you really don't depend on as much, if at all.
