Re: addicitons

Find a long term project, set goals and focus. Or get yourself an environment with enough social control? I dunno, just hang in there!

Re: addicitons

Hang out with different people or find something else to occupy your time. Take a night course at your local college, start going to the gym...anything to occupy your mind.

Actually, starting with thaiboxing helped me to kick a lot of shit. Mind altering in a healthy way.

Re: addicitons

there must be something causing you to feel the need to get fucked up. most drugs are out of your system quick enough that it is not a physical addiction more so a mental one. there are internal and external forces that would cause you to react in the way you do to what life throws at you. whether its external stress's from work or social surroundings. you have taken away the part of your life that made you do drugs before, and you find yourself still doing them. the best way i feel to stop doing drugs would be to deal with these things that make you do drugs. do you feel down, do you feel like you cant deal with pressures of work, or bills? if i were you i would think of seeing a therapist. of course this comes from the son of a psychologist... but you need to get control of your life and often they can help. they can help you get control and feeling like you can tackle the issues of what may stress you out. because you obviously want to stop, and it cant be just about feeling fucked up which you love... their must be an external force. things that can help... is defo exercise... my dad says to all his patients and firmly believes that this is far and away the best medicine (which he feels meds should be a last case scenario... only to fix imbalances). exercise can relieve stress, make you feel healthier and better about yourself. and like others said, you have to remove yourself from temptations... hobbies, anything constructive that can keep your mind off drugs will be crucial. i have helped a few people with drug problems and some kicked it better than others. i wish you the best

I completely understand that...I just started exercising, you know, going to the gym, lifting weights and stuff, not because I had any kind of aesthetic worry, but because I felt a need to find a way to direct my natural aggressiveness at something.

I have a bad temper, short fuse, whatever you call it, and lots of times I regret some of my reactions because they are too hot headed, so this is helping me out.

Anyway, this probably doesn?t do the original poster any good, but I still say, dude, some physical exercise will help you a A LOT.

Re: addicitons

side note on addictions... in studies of the brain, addictions are merely a sequence of senses that go off at once that develop into a sort of web that people feel comfortable or attached to... and feel uncomfortable without. examples would be of people who get very worked up when they dont get to go to that bar they always go to or have their cup of coffee in the morning. and they way to break those "webs" is to simply not do it (easier said then done). obviously drugs are harder than other habits, but everyone has them ... by nature humans are creatures of habit. the problem with drugs, is that the effect of drugs is the way you feel coming down puts you in a downward spiral... no one is without addiction its some got caught up in stuff others didnt. dont feel as if anything is wrong with you, you just gotta make it right... and know you will!

stop crushing so much.

Re: addicitons

you can do any one of six hundred million things. until your mind is ready to give it up, you'll continue to struggle. thats just a fact. it's ok to get jacked how ever often you want, but when you start "needing" to get ripped is the real problem. hopefully you can find something to occupy your time thats equally pleasing and satisfactory. start with music and go from there. good luck.

Re: addicitons

thnx for the input. this seriously sucks. I am doing everything I know that will keep my mind busy. work, school just isnt enough. I have done it before so I know I can do it again. Hard thing is you give up one thing to start another, seems to never end
