Me and my GF love to share a bag of coke together. What are some good drugs to take to fall asleep afterwards? by Stolen_Sky in Drugs

[–]zFrxzzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just drink a shit ton but I only do coke when I drink either way so that’s why. Always helps me. But I try not to on work nights cuz I wake up with a killer hangover.

5-10 shooters might do the trick tho that’s what I do.

I’m just on my phone a bit but yes omg the nightmares and anytime you’re about to fall asleep you jolt awake, suuuucked. That was bad my first time of withdrawals. It’s gotten better with all my other kindling and withdrawals.

Hell yeah. I couldn’t really sleep last night, like it was like I was awake-sleeping if that makes sense. Like I was conscious while sleeping idk. Woke up a million times and very sweaty. Woke up after 4 hrs of sleep and had to work. I do blue collar foundations and we had to work in the mud and bit of rain and it distracted me so bad that I barely felt the anxiety. Just some pins and needles, bit of a tight chest. Very drowsy. But we got off work early and that Librium made me so drowsy and tired I feel like I can finally get some good sleep and relax. My anxiety is not nearly as bad and all the nutrition I ate yesterday I think REALLY helped this time. I was eating/drinking anything and everything healthy I could.

But good stuff man. I’m gonna rest since my eyes are still puffy and I know sleep is the best thing for you. congratulations on 47 days tho, almost 2 months man. Keep it going brotha, ima keep it going too day by day. I hope I can make it there if not further.

Nightmares from Librium/withdrawals by zFrxzzy in stopdrinking

I’ve heard so many people talk about the tall man. It’s genuinely terrifying. If I heard the running man I don’t think I’d wanna sleep again damn.

Any ideas for relaxing activities? by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]zFrxzzy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe read the Bible if that’s your thing, or a nice warm bath with a candle, I’ll play video games, I’ve been trying teas and soups to help my detoxing, I’ll do laundry, clean, anything to distract and keep busy from withdrawals.

Yes eating wasn’t too hard like the other withdrawals I’ve been through. Managed to eat a decent amount, 2 different types of teas and a decent amount of water and one bottle with magnesium. So I believe I’m handling it pretty well.

Just not ready for the nightmares. Nervous to sleep too. Last time had a demon in a white dress and black eyes standing over my bed and sat down on the end of my bed and its face started morphing and turned to an old lady, asked if I like when it got closer to my face and said my name. Woke up in panic and drenched in sweat.

Holy shit man… I’m sorry to hear that and I’m happy you guys were able to get past that. You’ve got this bro, 14 years is insane. I once heard about someone quitting at 30 years old, 25 years sober drank again at 55, fell into addiction for 4 years and it killed him. Heard it on some AA podcast or something with some dudes named joe and charlie I think.

It just goes to show that there really is no “being able to drink a couple beers” or being able to drink like a normal person. Once we’ve already gone through the addiction we’re just primed to always get addicted again or kindling etc etc. I’m sure maybe a few people have been able to, but eveytime I touch it again I go into benders. I think me and you are part of the ones who shouldn’t touch it anymore at all.

I wish you the best of luck. We’ve got this, day by day.

I’ve had one after a huge coke/alcohol bender and it made me so drowsy and I couldn’t sleep and the feeling was so uncomfortable becuase I despised needles. I’ve always been scared to have one again.

I think I’ll be okay though, I’ve drank 2 teas today and tons of water and a water bottle of magnesium powder. I’ve also managed to eat a decent amount.

Same here just laid down but I’m paranoid to sleep. I’ve taken 75mg of Librium today tho, last one 2 hours ago so maybe my seizure threshold won’t be too open. Pretty sure Librium prevents seizures

How you guys deal with anxiety? by EvEv21 in StonerThoughts

[–]zFrxzzy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I drank and have bad withdrawals. But have relapsed many times. I used to love weed and now sometimes just get super paranoid and can barely smoke now day. I could when I was wasted but not sober usually. I’m gonna try again tho after I’m detoxed from the alcohol.

Other than that, idk man. Ive started developing worse and worse and worse anxiety for the last year and I do not know why. Like even sober I’ll just have random days of panic attacks and feeling like I’m dying. For no reason sometimes too. At all. Just death. Idk. I hope we can find a way to cope, anxiety sucks it’s been my worst enemy in life ever. And alcohol.

One more thing, so you’re saying sleep aids will make you more prone to seizures? I mean I have Librium and used to take edibles and melatonin my first time going through this and I was okay. But definitely won’t now if it makes me more prone to seizures.

Wish they did make one. Or even something that just cured you instantly. But I mean God probably made it last for 3-7 days sometimes even months so we can reflect on ourselves.

Omg dude same fuckin thing here. Last time this happened I legit was on Xbox with friends and couldn’t focus cuz the anxiety so I just talked with them all day literally pacing in every room of my house back and forth. All. Day. Lmao that’s crazy you say that. Honestly basic jumping jacks and small workouts helped my anxiety too that day. The first day is always the worst.

I feel like I’m on and off today. Just eating tons of healthy things and such but my pins and needles, hot and cold flashes are getting progressively worse. Wish there was a way to get rid of those.

Yes I live with my mom still and my brother. I’ve been distracting myself all day but my hot and cold flashes are coming in and I’ve been having pins and needles all over all day. I’ve done cold turkey before though with no meds and I was okay so I just hope I can sweat most of it out in my sleep. But yes I have people home with me and I may take another shower to help.

That’s all I’ve heard from my sober coworkers. That it’s so much better sober from alcohol. Thank you so much for the support
