PCR Posted January 24 Report Share Posted January 24 I know you can get drugs anywhere, that's not the pointA lot of times those who fail the treatment - fail it because of somebody else in the group. It could be called "negative support" My ex is a Clinical Psych. specializing in addiction/treatment.She worked at major NYC clinic for years. She did tell me a lot of stories....

I understand- when it comes to addictions- the stories are endless- but saying that- its like saying- hey, I don't want to take drivers eduscations- becaude it could lead to an accident lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtk4 Posted January 24 Report Share Posted January 24 First you need to get away from whoever you do this with.Move in with relatives whatever. You can not be around that stuff right now or you will want to do more. you do have to keep yourself busy, find something you like writing drawing photography, and bury yourself with it.

bumpdaddy Posted January 24 Report Share Posted January 24 First of all... ecko: you didn't freebase. In reality the coke that was in you newports didn't give much of a buzz . Regular coke for snorting (HCL) has a higher flash point than base and doesn't burn as efficiently. As far as you feeling like you're hooked. You probably are. If you're even experimenting with smoking coke, you'll eventually get turned on to base sooner or later. I'm no preacher but I'll give you my opinion. Freebase is one of the best highs i've ever experienced and it took me 2 years to finally get off it. You'll never experience the same high you had the first time, but you'll keep chasing it. The best way to beat any addiction is to get your life together. I personally don't believe in the NA or AA approach in that they both advocate that if you're an addict you shouldn't use any type of substance. I also dont believe that all the counseling in the world can turn anyone around. I was in and out of several detox/rehab programs back in the day and I can honestly say they weren't effective for me. I'll also take it a step further; 9 years later I still use drugs occasionally in social settings and havent relapsed into addiction and I basicly stoppped feebasing cold turkey (not easy and physically painful). Maybe I've just been lucky and what works for me may not work for you. Alot of it definately has to do with the people around you but if you don't make the decision to change niether will the people you choose to be around. The main thing is to make a decision and find the strength to stick to it. There are probably other problems you're going through and you should definately at the very least "cool it". As far as all the hysteria about one addiction being any worse than any other. Thats just bullshit. Granted there are definately health issues that you should consider but any addiction can take over your life if you let it: sex, greed, booze, food, even .... shopping.

Crackorn Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 I've done my share of goodies in my time and I've heard and seen nightmare stories on all different levels. I've also heard people say how there's no high like {heroin/freebase/crack/oxy/black tar} and because there's no high like it, I don't want to feel what it's like. I don't want to feel that "good" because eventually reality has to kick back in at some point. Don't get me wrong, I'm not against hitting the bong now and then, or even dropping a pill or blasting a line a few times a year, but when you do it all the time, you need to ask yourself "is this really fun?" I think talking to someone and getting back to your art is an excellent idea and I wish you the best of luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crackorn Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 Don't beat your self up too much for fucking up. Everyone fucks up now and then. Like anything else in your life, you shouldn't focus much on the past. Just think about the future and improving your life. See yourself at the bottom and the only way to go is up. You're already in the right direction because you know what you're doing isn't good and can only lead to bad things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iammrbitch Posted February 15 Report Share Posted February 15 Originally posted by eckobarbie1 and like i said before its a fucking retarded cycle..you'll get bored of it. Too true ... i never smoked crack but I did smoke crystal for quite a while - almost 2 years - and in the end when I stopped it was because of all the bullshit basically .. So many people I knew became fucked up, it was getting harder to get and the motivation for me to try and get it just wasn't there .. I got over it which is guess for an escape route from its addiction, is a lucky one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
