A friend of mine paid to stay at the temple for two years. He came back awesome and with a Chinese wife!
it is possible that this temple is set up in such a way (with plenty of space and just enough pleasurable things to do) that it would not seem a worthwhile effort to relapse. Similar methods are used at Singapore Zoo to keep the tigers in and stop them eating the well built Chinese people who make up most of the population of Singapore.
Shaolin Monastery – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
the official Chinese site from the UK is very slow atm but has more info on the official temple (there apparently were more than one such retreats in the region, but non official ones are shifted to some nearby villages).
From what I’ve seen so far this place would be daunting for most Chinese not brought up in a strict Buddhist environment, let alone Westerners (though as mentioned elsewhere my high school English teacher would have had no problems in attending this temple)
Have you tried quitting it. If you haven’t try that and try hard. Sometimes people can do without rehab if they try hard, but not everyone can do it. So first try not taking both of those for a few days, try hard don’t take it lightly. And if you can’t do it then don’t hesitate, find a doctor as soon as possible. There are many rehabilitation centers now choose one of them and start your treatment as soon as possible.
The earlier you start the better!
Don’t feel ashamed, this can happen to anyone, the best thing is that you have started thinking about rehab. I have seen people who have reached the edge of addiction and still don’t accept the fact. Most of them come to rehab because someone forces them. But to recover completely one must have that willpower themselves, which you have…
Gave in tonite….turned down goin out sayin I cldnt keep it sensible,coke dealer I owed money to called up askin for it bk wen he came round I got notha. Banged half of it in 30 mins,then was so annoyed at myself I threw it away,cldnt even get to 3 weeks,so frustrated!!
Worst thing is I ad a half day in work today at my office doing recruitment n iv Neva felt so good about myself and motivated. Apologies for the ranting just need to get sum of the feelings out.
Hello I’m back….apologies for being so self centred but I feel I need some advice and I appreciate the people on here’s comments.
Following on from my comments towards the end of last year I cleaned up as in just drinkin doing “certain things ” on the weekends and it worked for 2 months or so until the end of February. Iv done well in my recruitment job and now I’m going back to the bad ways and I just can’t help it….tonight was meant to be one pint it’s end up in 4 pints and getting off with a guy I hate from work. I’m at home now buzzing as hell and I know I shouldn’t do it…it’s not just one night….Friday was a gram and not sleeping all night….last week was 36 hours without sleeping and going to work high asa kite the weekend before was 3 grams…..it’s all because of booze but because i said I’m not drinking I go days without it and the huge drinking and coke benders…so if anything it’s worse….feel so low….apologies jst needed to vent….I know everyone else has their own issues and hope they are coping 🙂
Hey there Hannimal,
If you managed to cut the habit previously you can do it again. You just need a different vice, a hobby or activity you can do when you get a craving for a drink or some sniff. Much easier said than done but to break a habit you need to change your routine which enables time for that habit. Anything from exercise to playing a games console can work as a distraction.
Or not a recommended choice but an option; get some Valium or Xanax or a similar benzo. If used responsibly they can reduce anxiety and may relax you into a state where drink and coke are no longer necessary. But these substances can be highly physically addictive so not a great idea, would work out much cheaper though.
Your final option is yes go to your GP and confess to your drug problem and seek local services available to you to aid in rehabilitation.
if you have to think about it you probably do.
Alcohol addiction is a serious problem as it has widespread effects on an individual’s life. Addiction can lead to issues with relationships, health, and retaining employment.
As an update a year on. I pretty much fixed it. Well to some extent, got promoted at work. I just stopped doing cok
Thanks for keeping us posted. Good to hear you’ve kicked the coke, everything else will come when you want it to enough bud.
Hi there,year on update. I really
Fixed up. Stopped boozing in the week so crazily,stopped doing weed full
Stop, with the reduction in drinkin the coke stopped. I still do it on the weekends every now and again but I feel so much better,realise how bad last year was. I’ve got promoted at work and am the youngest senior recruitment consultant there. I always had some talent but was a complete mess. Hit
My target before start of December and gone a bit crazy last couple of weeks but more booze than drugs. Did meet a guy I liked a lot (I’m a girl just to clarify!!) and I just went crazy with him,doing half a gram 2/3 times pre 8am after doing a gram the previous nite. Then he chukd me,wonder why?! Kinda annoyed but it would have been a route to being a mess like before. I feel things r pretty much under control and I appreciate all the advice. Thanks partyviber’s.

Excellent news indeed then mate.. I suppose a big difference between addict and user is ability to moderate/regulate use.
The fact you’ll do shit at work if you’re always fucked is an added bonus thta’s free with the coke LOL.
Coke is a very short term thing, I suppose many see it as a goal to have a “relationship” that lasts just as long as the coke 😉
Any thought that you could go back to before and ever be promoted, if not more likely demoted or sacked, forget is what I’d say.
Also try avoid smack, crack, crystal meth and PCP, :sign0023: and so forth. Is there anything you actually need to know though?
Well, it seems like a psychological addiction, which is getting more and more intense.
You can try the things like deleting the number of your supplier, trying to live a clean life, but the way you described it, I think you need some help.
Take care, stay safe!
I’m not rely sleeping and I’m starting to think I need rehab… or am I over reacting?! I rely want to stop but I love the escapism.
I think rehab has done a good job. It can stop your addiction and provide a good environment.

That’s my point of view and what I have seen all my life :
if someone is asking the question : Do I need rehab?! Then forget, it will be a failure.
As long you have a pleasure taking drugs, you have no chance to get out, or you will change your addiction with something else.
the only people i saw who could stop were people very young who were new to addiction, less than a year
