Originally posted by CASPER Ive been toying with the idea of a once a week google group or skype chat room or some shit. With some structure and stuff, but not as much talk about God.Dude if youre dependent on opiates, you need a better plan though. Ups and downs and whote knuckling is no way to do shit. Why not just take 2mg or sub every day sublingually, smoke weed and take ibuprofin to take the edge off aches…. see how long you can go wihout wanting to put shit up your nose? A lot if it for me has been breaking routines, preferred routes of administration. Theres just nothing my junkie brain enjoys about taking a pill as directed. i either need it in my lungs, my vein or my nose.
Yeah, a google group thing might be better. It's pretty fucking difficult to do that for me locally, too much history.
2mg sub a day is what the plan was. Problem is, I feel high off subs and they do NOTHING for pain, anxiety or my ability to sleep. So it's like replacing one high for a worse one that's vaguely reminiscent of a better high. I have bottles of CDB in coconut oil I might try to use for pain. I alternate between smoking a lot of weed and smoking none (usually none these days).
It just sucks my coping mechanisms for pain are drug related. I'm finally going to therapy in less than 2 weeks so hopefully something will happen after that. I'm really not too physically addicted but dammit do I ever hate monkeys on my back -

2020-02-04 at 1:54 AM UTCHad a breakdown earlier today over the futility of my life, how I use women and seek to make up for things I've missed my whole life but I'm hunky dorey now. It was in front of my gf and her 2 year old son and he was just chillin. Then I felt guilty for letting a 2 year old boy see me cry now his perceptions of males will be pussified and he'll have those stupid plugs in his ears

Originally posted by CASPER Since it seems like this is a thing a lot of people are dealing with right now, and ive been getting a lot out of NA meetings/sponsorships…I want to have this thread be like an ongoing Anonymous-style meeting. Some people even do skype meetings with people across the globe. You dont have to be 100% serious all the time, but try to refrain from being a faggot. And this is going to be a place where all the forum politics won't be. No matter how friendly you are with someone…if theyre doing something stupid or destructive, you can call them out on it here, and theyre legally not allowed to be butthurt in any other threads. Its also been really helpful for me to have a sounding board of people to run certain decisions by. So i dont have to obsess over whether im making the right choice or not (since i know im fucking crazy and i make some stupid decisions.
Talk about whats going on with you, how you feel about it, what youre trying to accomplish. Im going to try to scan and upload all of the various workbooks and shit tomorrow, so you can do that shit if you want. Honestly a lot of the other shit is hella gay, but the step working guide has been really helpful.
Anyway RIP in peace to this thread in advance, but lets talk about feelings. No homo. (ALL HOMO).

Hope it works out for you. I've found NA/AA to be a bunch of bullshit. It would help a little at first. For me I've found Harm Reduction is the most effective for me. The 12 step programs where I reside is usually old people or a revolving group of people that may stay in the program a month. They all suck Bill W/ big book in AA. In NA they suck the basic text. I truly think that ones that gain sobriety/clean time are at a point where a multitude of things would work. -

anyway, yeah
i would be more apt to go to meetings if most of them weren't always step meetings, so like step 2, step 7, step 12 focused all the time, I like the meetings where you just talk about your problems or meditate -

I've never been to one but I hear it's more science based and not centered on faith and religion and shit. AA is weird in that they want to say addiction is a disease but then they don't take a medical approach to it.
I like my current therapist a lot because he says his focus in recovery for his clients is in harm reduction and not total abstinence/shaming; like if you tell him you drink 20 ounces of liquor a day, he wants to help you get to 15 ounces and then 10 instead of saying "quit entirely or you suck at life and have failed". There's more to it than that of course but it's definitely different from what I've encountered previously. -

Man your therapist sounds so cool from what you've told me. Half the reason i never went to see one was because i know it'd be a search finding a good one.
