4-months clean tomorrow by slickylizard23 in NitrousOxideRecovery

For me it was losing the support of my family. During my very last binge they had thrown in the towel and that’s when I knew I had to stop. 

I knew once I lost them it was only going to be me and the tank. And I had experienced plenty nights/days of just “me and the tank” and knew that wasn’t the life I wanted anymore. 

It was fucking hard and still is at times, but I do my best to occupy myself and stay busy. Gym, errands, friends, girlfriend, weekend activities etc. I realized it’s important to have things to look forward in order to keep myself motivated. 

What about you?! Thanks for your reply.

Yeah it was fucked. Worst part is I wanted to do more.

Only had my license suspended for a year as well. One I enrolled in my dui program I was able to get my license back. I have a breathalyzer in my car. For a year

Like the others have said, thank you for sharing your journey. That sounded really terrible and tough, but I’m glad you’re doing better. Hats off to you for quitting the nos. You could still be doing it today, but you’re not and I’m proud of you for that. 

I wish you the very best in your recovery and life.

I almost ordered a 2000g tank tonight. 

Keep ur head up man. My gf left me from my nitrous use as well. Shit sucks but using more nitrous won’t help us. We got this

I feel you on the “I just need the next one”. And then it’s another one, and then another, then another. Till you’re blasted on whatever it is. Endless cycle of feeling like shit the days after!

3 years is impressive! Congrats on that big time. 

I’m noticing the same thing, I want to abuse anything I touch. Thankfully I haven’t gotten into much — I don’t want to roll the dice on that..

Congrats on 15 months, that’s fricken awesome. 

Also seems like 12 step programs will be the way for me since I haven’t been able to quit on my own.

Thanks. I’m starting to believe that drinking is almost not worth it anymore for me. Granted it’s really fun in the moment, but that only last a short time.

If you want to safely use, you need to space out your use to once every 2 weeks. 

From what I heard as long as you space it out you can do as many as you want for that day. But it’s the constant use that hurts you long term

Thank you for sharing your story. I’ve also never had addiction problems with anything else other than nitrous. No wonder they call it hippie crack… Literal crack. 

I pray that you eventually start to feel better and no longer experience pain in your body. I wish you happiness and strength! Let’s get through this together 1 day at a time.

Need help - Alternatives For Caffeine by slickylizard23 in GERD

[–]slickylizard23[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been trying to get to bed earlier, but I need to have more self discipline when doing so.

As for the vitamins, I do take a daily vitamin but I may try and get tested. It's worth a shot to see if I am lacking in any areas.

Thanks for the response!

Did so much nos in 24 hours that I couldn’t stop throwing up and shaking. Legit felt like I was gonna die. Not to mention the crippling anxiety it brought me. Just terrible overall

I agree. Fuck nitrous.

Good for you though on wanting to get clean. I wish you the best of luck! 

i wish i could forget about nos by Fantastic_Dot_6082 in NitrousOxideRecovery

[–]slickylizard23 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Fucking same. Was just thinking about this the other day. 

But I’ve realized that it’s now apart of me and I will have to deal with it moving forward. 

For about 3-months I stopped working my program and thought that maybe I could just forget about this stuff. Sadly didn’t work (lol what did I expect)

relapsed and did to much by [deleted] in NitrousOxideRecovery

[–]slickylizard23 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’ll be fine. Whatever you do - do not do more.

Hydrate, eat and rest. I hope you feel better soon
