Party Vibe

Hang in there.

I’m the first week into coming out of my drug addiction. It’s definitely good to talk about it and you’ll find that you get plenty of help and support from the members of this forum.

DOC was ketamine. Minimum 2 grams per day (sometimes up to as many as 6 or 7 if it was a weekend or party). It does tremendous damage to the stomach, bladder, sinuses, sleep pattern and general cognitive ability as well as costing all of my wages every month (subsidized by dealing). As well as alcohol (which I am still trying to kick) and benzos (of which I have had none for 7 days).

It’s so easy to fall into alcohol when you are coming off of other drugs as it’s an easy to obtain, socially acceptable alternative. I drink every day but try to limit my intake as much as possible.

What were you on?

You haven’t really fucked up, benzos and alcohol can be dangerous but you didn’t die so that’s good. Try to keep it to one or the other where you can. I was mixing K, xanax and cider only a week ago and that was a pretty regular thing.

Well, don’t believe everything you read. Your life experience is what you are prepared to make of it – to make it work or just fall apart.

Yeah, but now you have learned that “carefree”, that is “not caring”, doesn’t get you anywhere or solve any difficulties.

The stuff we all do is what we care about. Hope you can reach out to someone who does want to care. 🙂

Best of luck to you (both)

It’s going to be hard but you will get there in the end. Keep us updated on how things go. :love:

i’m not in recovery myself, but all i know is recovery will be a long and rough road. so hang in there.
