This may sound crazy, but the best thing that help me off liquid perks (after my tonsils) is alcohol. Your body is looking for some sort of high and a balance. I'm not saying get smashed, but a few beers a night for 3 days did it for me. I do have an addictive personality and I had to be very careful with my pain meds, but it still got me hooked. So I focused on a different high that I knew I could control. I know this information is not ideal for a fitness board, but I, kind of recently, went through what you are going through, so I understand and want to help.

much appreciated..i don't know if i can handle a couple drinks i don't get a good night sleep at all when i have a few and still feel it in the morning even if i catch a little buzz.not sure thats a good idea for me.but i understand.. i didn't sleep much last night tonight might be even worse. im expecting the worst is yet to come.i made it to work today i have tomorrow off but Monday im dreading.the last 12 vikes i had i flushed away so.. i really don't have to fight with myself about them,im am relieved there gone.also i do have a very additive personality i seem to overkill everything.im a complete mental an physical mess.i look like complete shit -it kinda hard to hide this from my 6 year old. makes me fucking sad cause it takes alot of energy to keep up with him and i have a really short temper right now-fuck its not his fault.didn't eat shit today just some oatmeal ,protein shake and a chicken salad sandwich.i have to start drinking allot more water.thanks guys

It sounds to me that the hardest part is getting a good nights rest, not the addiction to feel outside yourself, go to walmart right now, get some melatonin take two and get some help to watch your little one so you don't have to wake up until you wake up.

don't take this the wrong way but are you using anything right now? i ask because your personality has been a little different the last few months. you seem a little on edge and maybe a little down. i may be wrong here, just something I have noticed.

i personally feel the best way to beat things is mental strength. just focus and tell yourself enough is enough.

No I am not on anything. I just have some what recent experience with what he is going through. I didn't know I was coming off that way. I am just not ashamed or embarrassed to use my experience, good or bad, to help someone else. If he is just trying to get over the physical addiction then using some other "medicine" is the same principle as using methadone. If he can't get over the mental aspect of the addiction it pretty much doesn't matter what he's addicted to. He needs a lot more help than anyone on the board can provide. The only things different in the last couple months in my life is my wife is about to graduate at the end of the summer, We are moving at the end of the month and my wife has become pregnant. I do have a lot on my mind but my mood isn't down. It's better than it probably was a couple months ago. I may just not be as patient with some stuff here because I have a lot on my mind at home. Also don't take this the wrong way, but it appears you don't have any personal experience with this subject so it will be very hard for you to connect and help someone else.

agreed.


you said you were moving again? didnt you just move?

[Shibby]

Yea, we only had a 6 month lease. The guy wants to sell the apartment instead of renting it. We are going to need a 3 bedroom instead of a 2 bedroom anyways. It's only a couple miles from where we are now.

[Bouncer]

off topic but what ever happened with that comcast mess from your last move?

[Shibby]

I guess they found it. I got a collection notice that said I owed about $28 (said it didn't affect my credit yet but it's time to pay). That's what they told me they would pro-rate from my last bill. The bill they kept sending my before was about $828. So I figure it would have sent it too collections for the 800 if they still wanted it. My credit was checked for the new place and all that was on it was a ticket I got in California just before moving and a gas bill I thought I cleared up before leaving Oklahoma. Now that I know what is on it I will be able to easily take care of it (total debt owed about $200).

so i took 6 mgs of melatonin after a hour of not being able to lay still. within a half hour i finally fell asleep. i slept pretty sound for a little over 3 hours. i woke up about 5am wired,my pupils were almost as big as my irises, had a protein shake an went for a little walk. i also was able to get another 2 hour nap in this morning. damn im an emotionally wreck. at this point im embarrassed and ashamed totally.. even though i have good friends an the most understanding wife -i am so blessed for that-i know this is probably the last form on the wed to have this discussion but its the only one im a member of, so i took the chance about this problem not really expecting anything. i am really sick right now but ,the battle has not yet even started. i smoked weed heavily for 5 years i thought that was hard to quit.i have an appointment with my doc. in a couple weeks ill explain to him whats going on. i don't have the time or the energy to deal with this shit again. thanks for the support!

If you are not physically fine in the next day or two, you need more of a phsyc help. I never got that far since mine is a physical addiction problem that I have to beat. Try to stay relaxed and (this is hard to say without knowing you) if there is something you can do to take the edge off without falling into a different slump, try it.
