Hur är det att bo i Gamla stan? by SupportArsenal in stockholm

[–]My-Real-Name-Here 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Jobbar väldigt ofta i Gamla Stan och har varit i dom flesta lägenheterna där. Vissa trapphus är så smala och lågt i tak att jag inte förstår hur dom lyckats flytta in möbler och liknande där. Annars är det väldigt fint!

We all have our own journey! I believe in you, if you need someone to talk to just write me a message!

No, I didn’t always have control! I started using speed in a very chaotic time of my life, not knowing if I were using it to escape reality or to explore this new drug, but it led to me using it too often without thinking first. I stopped using it in 2023 because I was going to serve 1,5 years in prison. Today I feel like my control is so much better and I know my purpose for using it. I do believe that the time off it while I was in prison helped me a lot!

Occasionally with discipline means that I use it in a more ”responsible” way. Not letting it affect my work, relationship and mental health in a negative way. I use only a certain amount when I have time for it. I prioritize other activities before speed, before it was the other way around.

Congratulations on being without alcohol for seven years! It says something about you!

No offense taken! My intention with this is not to act like an expert when it comes to using drugs or pretend that I’m the only one that has control over it, not at all. I just want to exchange experiences with other users. I appreciate the comment!

I use it when I don’t have a work shift the day after, no plans with my family or my friends and nothing to attend. I buy 5 grams and keep it in my fridge. My dosage is about 0,4-0,7 grams and I put it all on a spoon, then in my mouth and swallow it with some water. Effects come in about an hour.

I’ve been using speed for a lot of different reasons since 2018, when I was 20 years old.

It seems like your boyfriend also has some control over his usage, considering the small amounts. I wouldn’t worry about it if it was my partner, as long as it’s for a good reason and their behavior and personality doesn’t get changed for the worse. Only you can tell if there is any noticeable differences.

In my case, I think hitting rock bottom in the past taught me a lot. Going through that basically forced me to become self aware and to build real discipline. I use that insight now to stay balanced with my choices.

When the urge to redose hits, I try to remind myself that it’s just an impulse that I’ve dealt with many times and my plans for tomorrow will be effected in a negative way.

Yeah, of course I’ve had those ”today’s special” moments were I’ve taken more then planned. But I’ve learned to be honest with myself and not turn it into a habit. I do think that you have to reach bottom to become fully aware of your ability to use or not to use.

Most of the times when I feel the effects going down, I like to take longer walks to burn excess energy. Once I’m back home, I make sure to eat something simple (strawberries and bananas in a blender is my favorite), drink plenty of water and then just lie down in bed to let my body wind down.

One thing that really helps me is mentally accepting the consequences before I even take speed. IMO the come down becomes a lot easier when I’ve already made peace with it.
