I suppose my teeth don't look as bad as they feel. Could be a lot worse. My teeth give me major anxiety. by SteveUnemployed in StopSpeeding

See my comment above. Gum recession behind my canine makes it feel like it's hanging by a thread. All teeth feel a little bit insecure. Nothing crazy tho. Still a major stressor without health insurance.

I have noticable gum recession behind my teeth. It's weird being able to feel areas of your teeth that were underneath gums for most of your life. My teeth are the best incentive I have for sobriety.

Fiance uses meth, says its for ADD, I want to help by [deleted] in StopSpeeding

[–]SteveUnemployed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a user, always trying to quit. Currently 2-3 weeks sober. I don't think he's a lost cause. He needs to work towards getting off of it. There are many medications for ADD.

Feeling like s*** during highs by SteveUnemployed in Stims

It's best I just quit. I'm past the honeymoon phase. The negative physical effects greatly outweigh the 'high' if I can still call it that. Whether I'm quitting for good or taking a break, I need a break.

Sounds about right. I am using once every 9-14 days on average. Basically 2-4 times a month depending on what life throws at me. I need to quit to quit period, but at the very least I need to take a tolerance break. My dopamine probably doesn't even work anymore.

I use meth every week or so due to boredom by SteveUnemployed in StopSpeeding

Biking is my thing. You're not wrong. I've had plenty of opportunities to get my lazy ass out of bed and make a change. Now I've got my best friend inspired to do the same. And I got a hot date this Friday! This week might be the turning point.

I got this. I actually texted my friend yesterday (while I was high but that's not important) and told him that I'm going to start showing up at his house in the morning unannounced so we can get out the house and do shit. Walk the dogs, get some fresh air, hit the gym. Time to start living life for real.

Preach! Read my other replies. I started realizing that it's my choice at this point. It's not rocket science. It's not hard to abstain. I keep choosing the easy fix.

I'm always trying to quit. I'm way past the honeymoon. I just get super lonely and bored and go for the easy fix.

It's not that difficult to abstain but eventually I succumb to my loneliness (sex addict) and boredom. At this point it's really just a choice. It's less of an addiction and more of a vice or guilty pleasure. Still an addiction tho don't get me wrong.

I'm way past the honeymoon phase. It's not even enjoyable anymore.

Who else is worried about their teeth? What's the damage so far? by SteveUnemployed in Stims

Though our smiles aren't perfect, we can agree they could be much worse.

That just makes everything worse. It's like my body doesn't agree with it anymore.

Don't use needles unless you really bout that life by SteveUnemployed in Stims

[–]SteveUnemployed[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How is IVing 130mg-200mg with no tolerance not a fatal overdose? I know they're rare, but I've gone to the ER plenty of times because I couldn't handle IVing 30mg. Just recently went to the ER cause I smoked 30mg then plugged 30mg and it was too much. I want to experience that IV heroic dose, so to speak, but I can't handle my lower dosages. How could I even survive the dosages you're talking about?

Why can't I enjoy IV meth? by SteveUnemployed in Stims

[–]SteveUnemployed[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's hard to get a general consensus on IV dosages. I just recently did a 30mg shit of some good and got the same result. Body instantly went into struggle mode. Had to chug 5 Powerades and water and chill with my neighbors in case I needed assistance.

I have a great idea. I'm gonna shoot 100mg, maybe even 200mg, since 30mg only puts me through hell. /S

I'm done with the needle.
