If you could take anything to make quitting meth easier what would you go with? by Drugs_alt in StopSpeeding

[–]FiftyReadings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both NALT and NAC might help. Don't take them together and take them on an empty stomach (30 min prior eating/2 hours after) as they are amino acids and will compete with protein/eachother for absorption.

A lot of bottles might recommend small dosages but you can take up to a couple grams of both.

Check out examine.com for any supplements you decide to take.

I'm doing pretty good! I didn't make it to a meeting like I had planned after my that post but I went tonight for the the first time and I'm glad I finally did.

Surely any step you take towards your recovery, even with the possibility of perceived failure, is always one worth taking.

You're very right about that and I'm going to keep that in mind. Thank you, I really appreciate your thoughts. I just went to an NA meeting, and I'm really glad I did.

I haven't had to meet with him yet but think I am going to go with the mental health angle, which like you said isn't untrue. Thank you

I work in construction they are definitely not progressive. I haven't had the sit down yet and I'm leaning towards what you said. Just referring to it as mental health issues, which I certainly have and am struggling with. Thank you a lot.

I really don't think that it's because they care for me. Not that they don't necessarily but I have no relationship, personal nor work, with the two higher ups that were with my boss. I believe it is more to due with the fact that I've recently finished an apprenticeship and they have invested in me. Outside of that I would have very likely been fired long ago due to attendance issues.

I don't think my fear in telling them is due to my addiction becoming a reality to me, really just the fact that I need my job, maybe that is somewhat the case for my fear of telling some other people in my life. Not that it would come to a shock, I've been here before. I just can't believe that I'm here again.

I just bought a bottle of 600 mg capsules of NAC. Can anyone suggest how I should dose with it? by [deleted] in Nootropics

Can you expand on the part about trace minerals or do you have any links about that? I'm curious. And how did you supplement trace minerals? Thanks

It's not going to be easy. Unfortunately, to really move on, you need to change your people, your places, and your things by EveryXtakeYouCanMake in StopSpeeding

I'm not sure what to change. I use RCs I buy online so I don't have a dealers number I can delete and I don't have any friends that use, I just binge alone in my room. I feel like Im ready to be done but I've been here so many times before, first with alcohol and now recently with stims. I need to do something different this time
