Party Vibe

Sweet, the wheels are in motion my man, don’t put the breaks on now! 🙂

i don’t know if this is a good recommendation, but what a bout smoking a spliff each night? i cant handle weed for shit these days and if im trying not to drink i can smoke a spliff and fall asleep really early and get a solid nights sleep. i also have no trouble in stopping smoking bud so when its time to lay off i can do it much easier than any other drug (incl booze). swapping one intoxicant for another is obvs not a good idea its just something i find helpful

Don’t give in to the cravings man, I promise you they’ll get easier … once you get through them, the thing you’ll have to watch out for (in a few weeks/month or two), is thinking you’re healed, and thinking it’s ok to drink as you feel fine. This is what alllllwys used to get me. but it puts you back to square one very quickly (and after soso much hard work).

I’ll watch out for that man. I don’t often go out drinking anyway, I’m a sad, stay-at-home drunk!

Beginning to feel my Qi returning and flowing better. Just the mornings and getting off to sleep to deal with now!

Yeah I mostly drank at home as well, at least in later years.

Alcohol is some serious shit, you can die from seizure from detoxing as the shakes and anxiety can get so overwhelming. Best way to get off it first of all is via Librium detox, it’s generally a fairly painless process for most Alcoholics if you get the dose right and you’ll just be sedated for a few days.

If you want to stay clean that’s another story, the only way I know of guaranteeing some level of control is via abstinence from all mind-altering substances as when you put any drug in your body it releases a craving for more. When you took Cocaine you got a craving for Alcohol, this is normally apparent for most drugs so the fact you’ve been taking Benzodiazepines recreationally is probably not helping. Physically in early recovery from drug addiction you will be plagued with chronic cravings and mental obsessions, if you can get through normally around a month of abstinence the brain resets and you will get a release from the overwhelming mental state but it still goes on for time after that. With enough clean time you will be relieved of this but if you pick up again you will be right back to the start.

If you can begin to grieve Alcohol and drugs from your life and reach out for help you can recover and have control over what you put in your body but there really is no controlled use of this kind of thing and even if you do manage to binge drink on occasions the damage has been done to your brain and body and you will continue to worsen and your addiction will progress. I’ve seen friends get months and months clean from bad Alcoholism and in the space of a few hours of relapsing they fell straight back into the cycle of addiction and deceit which comes with it all… It’s not worth it… and if you’re ready to give it up and admit defeat that drugs are going to continue fucking you and you cannot win you can stay clean. I wish you the best, Alcohol is the worst drug to be addicted to that stuff absolutely destroys the body and mind.
