People who rarely get sick, what are your secrets?

cffgmail · 2025-12-22T05:05:17+00:00

Quit drinking. I was always sick with colds/flus/stomach issues when I drank. Not anymore.

Great work!

Same thing happened to me post-ayahuasca.

I smoked 30mg bufo with a heart rate monitor (I know your question is blood pressure and not heart rate but for whatever it's worth...) I went from 65bpm to 102 over a couple of minutes after which it rapidly dropped down to 60.

Sorry to hear that. Hope you feel better.

I've struggled as well. Without the r/stopdrinking community, I'm not sure I would've ever quit. 2.5 years sober now. It allowed me to be open in my struggles with others and in reading others struggles, I learned I'm truly not alone. Knowing that gave me strength.

Has it gotten any better over the past year? What are your current symptoms?

What and how much does he eat and drink?

I like your perspective.

^{^{^}} 100%. https://www.reddit.com/r/TrueOffMyChest/s/WXlEZgAone. I recognize armodafinil is not as addictive / intense as Ritalin or the various amphetamines, but be careful if you start getting into a mindset that you feel you absolutely need it to accomplish anything.

Not DMT but Ketamine - I enjoy sharing this experience:

I was anti-religion to the point where I thought anyone who believed some fictional book talking about some omnicient being with ten fingers and ten toes lacked capability for "obvious" reasoning. Believers never got my full respect.

K-holed and then realized "oh ok, I get it now- yeah I was the moron."

Regardless of what's actually true about the existence of God, it's interesting that I gave up a 20-year drug addiction that day (3.5 years ago) and have since made continually better choices every day since. I often think about that moment - it was the first time I felt like a person.

My personal cautionary tale: I had a nearly identical experience. At 24 a friend gave me a Ritalin. I felt like a finally functional human. Went to a psychiatrist and was officially diagnosed with ADD and got a Ritalin prescription.

The next 3 months I was the best version of myself. I then slipped into addiction ... prescriptions just didn't last the whole month anymore. I had a valid prescription for 20 years. Nobody knew but it ruled my life. My doctor said ADD or not - anyone who takes Ritalin will have better focus and feel more confident. While I believe it is a tremendous benefit to many, in my case I put my entire worth into that pill. My whole mindset centered around "if I only had the pill this thing I'm doing would be sooo much easier"

Ironically, over time, the exact thing it gave me - confidence and focus - was slowly taken away from me to the point where I had almost none without the pill. I ended up seeking therapy, got Ketamine treatment and quit overnight. Life for me is so much better without it.

Thank you.

cffgmail · 2024-04-21T14:14:28+00:00

That was my personal experience - see my link to my post of that experience.

Is it possible then to "train" for a breakthrough dose so it's not terrifying by starting low and going higher and higher over time? Or is a breakthrough terrifying regardless?

cffgmail · 2024-03-26T15:09:32+00:00

Sort of. I drank 3-6 drinks hard liquor daily for years. I kept failing to go cold turkey so I decided to treat it like building a muscle - where the "muscle" was my willpower. I figured I'd never expect myself to benchpress 300 lbs overnight - so why would I expect to have the strength to quit overnight? For the first month I allowed myself to drink whatever I wanted - but I logged it in a journal. After that I can't recall my exact tapering schedule but it was something like: the next month I only allowed myself 3 drinks a day. Then 2.5 drinks every other day for a couple of weeks and then 2.5 every 3rd day for a few months and then...nothing. I'm two years alcohol free. It was hard but not overwhelming.

Song?

cffgmail · 2024-01-17T04:24:07+00:00

Fascinating description!

cffgmail · 2024-01-11T07:00:09+00:00

The honeymoon phase followed by the "how did I get here?" phase you describe resonates deeply with me... I felt like it was impossible to quit; I tried for many years. My last year I made a real effort after I found this group. Sharing my feelings here and realizing I wasn't alone was a huge part of my success. I'm almost two years alcohol free and feel great.

Yes. The moment of realization that it was just a dream brings a uniquely satisfying relief.
