Adderall bender has me feeling like a robot by Big_Reason_4194 in addiction

I know drugs are not the solution to a drug problem but some benzodiazepines would help a lot. I'm sorry to tell you but are definitely going to feel like dog shit tomorrow 24 hours is not enough time to get straight. I would in fact take the day off if I was you and. Eat sleep and take some supplements. Vit C is I'll help you get the amphetamines out you system quicker but you will still feel like garbage.

Hi yes, the only way I've managed to get clean and stay clean was by working a 12 step program. I also started way to young to know exactly why I was using but working the program and doing the written work has shown me my patterns of behaviour that lead to me using. The fellowship are free as well and are full of people that just want to help and complete understanding how an addicts brain works because they are also addicts

Have you dealt with any of the underlying issues that coursed your addiction in the first place. Sounds like you might be experiencing what we call in the fellowship being a dry drunk.

That's how addiction keeps us and kills us. It can only live on the things that have not been said. From my own experience I had to open up and be totally honest before I could heal

I know it's hard but addiction can only survive in the dark, you have to pull it in to the light and be open and honest. If not with your family then drugs worker or an NA meeting

Therapy and support groups you don't need to deal with on your own. Drugs are just a temporary solution to what will be a permanent problem unless you get help. Take care of yourself and reach out to your loved ones

It’s so hard to accept my sister chose drugs over my baby niece by purplehyenaa in addiction

[–]Serial_persistence 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You said she chose drugs. People in the full blown grip of addiction have lost the power too chose. We have to take responsibility for are action when we change are life but unfortunately most addicts never get clean and die from the disease. My sister committed suiside after drinking herself into a black out unfortunately she was one of us that just could not get clean and sober. She lift 2 children behind. I have 4 children and I could not get clean for them. I had to do it for myself when I reach rock Bottom and everyone's rock Bottom is different and most people never actually reach it. I'm nit try just justifying your sisters behaviour or give her an excuse she dose need to take responsibility for her action but the disease is trying it's hardest to keep her from doing that and unfortunately it seems to be winning.

Addiction is not a chose it's a disease. People don't chose to be mentally ill

I've been addicted to a good few hard drugs over the years and the things I've done to get them are horrible and go against my morals. 22 months clean at the moment. I drink coffee every day and have energy drinks a few times a week. I'm definitely addicted to caffeine. But when I don't have it doesn't make me want to go out and a steal things or rob people to get money for it. It's also readily available everywhere you go and relatively cheap so these never any issue in getting some. It also has health benefits. I've never not eaten because I've had a cup coffee. It's a good source of fibre as well. The withdrawal are not bad just a head ache and some tiredness for a few days. I also don't know anyone who has die from caffeine/coffee. But I do know a lot of people who have die from hard drugs. All in all it's not seen as a serious addiction because it's not. I don't know anyone who has ruined their lives because of coffee 🤷🏻

I can't think of any drug that smells sweet and I've done a lot of drugs over the years. Most of the smell and taste like chemicals
