hi! if one takes the drug(s) of choice to often, than fun becomes misery. some people might use there afternoon beer and joint in a very moderate fashion, and this for many years, without ever having a problem with there using. but some people don't know how to kerb there alcohol, pot, or what ever is your fancy usage. this, http://www.shaman-au...showtopic=31276 is a good thread to show you how to feel good, when not using. two things have to be avoided when using, finacial hardship and health problems! if youre health doesn't suffer and you can afford it, than i don't see much of a problem, with getting onto the gear often, but if you spend your last 50 bucks on dope, and don't buy food for youre family instead, than you have a problem! quitting your addiction can happen two way's, planed or spontanious. for serious addictions, seek professional advice, but if you think you can do it on your own, than go for it. some people prefere to tamper off there ammounts and replacements whilst, and others like cold turkey. i never had an opiate or benzo, issue so i can't say much about those two, but for example nicotin withdrawl last only for 7 day's or so. everything after that is psychological withdrawl. some people say, withdrawl is a horrible feeling, but even though one might feel sick a bit, one can tell aswell already how many things change to the better. for example, not smoking means, not having to cough, pretty much right away. anyway, if you wanna quite for a while, than talk to youreselfe for a while beforehand. say to youreselfe, how good it will be for you, and that it will be easy, and it will go fast. say to youreselfe, do i want to be a slave to my addictions or do i want to be the boss of them??! buy youreselfe a lot of treats, once you go thrue withdrawl, some could be food treats others could be material things, those things ought to your rewards for staying away from the gear. physical excersise is very good, and often can stopp the feeling of withdrawl totaly. if anxiety strikes, just battle it thru it or take a single vallium, the anxiety will wear off after a few weeks. think of all the money you save, and how you can buy healthy things for it instead. we have disscussed this issue before here, and i hope we can either copy and paste "the best helpfull hints" of the past, or post links. using id fun and should stay fun, if it's no fun anymore, give it a break for a while, and it will be fun again!
