Quitting Stims And Benzos. Where To Get That Motivation Thing?

deperson said:
Well, I'm so damn bored that I feel in the b3nz0 tapering spirit. Even did some m3t today which is now wearing off, but even that wasn't really that fun. 

Looks like my brain/body needs a little reminder on how to be more appreciative. I suppose I'll take a huge first step since the lack of stimulants will ensure my sleep for a few days or maybe more.

Just got to get a decent streak started and it'll get easier to extend it. I was doing pretty good for a while the last time I tried tapering, but then I had a rather large slip that left me rolling down the mountain ever since.

Here's hoping this ain't just the somber m3t crash talking and I follow through.

Hey, it's been like a week. I haven't touched any stimulants and I'm hardcore tapering. I've watched Rocky 3 twice already. Man, I need Apollo Creed in my life. "Dammit, deperson, what's the matter with you?" "You thought meth was tough, these benzos will kill ya!" Just one more time, man, I'll quit tomorrow. "There is no tomorrow!"

I certainly can't argue with Tolstoy there on Time, but I think Time reigns over Patience: Time forged us and will outlast us all. All warriors must grapple with Time, but it is a losing one.

One might say that the tragedy and beauty of mankind may be the fight one puts up against such a foe.

Don't worry, though, I understand the sentiment!

 
Yep, unfortunately we all get arsefucked by time eventually!!

Good to see you're on the up Deperson & sounding positive : )

 
That reminds me, I need to get in the habit of journaling. Memories are flimsy; it would've been interesting to know what my mental transition from my original post to this one was in more detail.

I have various scattered scraps like the posts in this thread and stuff I've written down over the the years. It's always nice to find old documents that somehow survived next day trashing like the half dozen pages of weird stream of consciousness found hidden in my closest recently from a time when I was doing dissociatives daily. I guess I tried to hide them and forgot.

Importantly, I don't even remember how I failed tapering the last time I tried it. No real records exist. It might very well happen to me again in the near future. I don't know.

I used to write some weird shit back in my bad old days of doing meth.

I really don't enjoy finding them as I'd rather forget what a bag 'o nuts I was on that stuff.

Even though those days are long past, I'll still pull out some notebook and find a bunch of long winded nonsense.

Embarrassing!#

 
Is it kinda like cola? M3th, that is? Just wondering? Actually, bad question. Never mind.

Deperson, i also am glad you are on the upswing! Big hugs to you!

 
Not into Coca-Cola myself. Stuff is too expensive and short lived. Maybe if I could afford a 12 ounce can of it and not some cheap store brand version, I might think differently.

Crystal light powder lasts long and gets the job done for a good price. Only 5 calories, can you believe it?

So glad your days are filled with more joy and optimism. I suggest meat lovers pizza, with anchovies, jalapeños and banana peppers to get you through the toughest of times!

Just reached two weeks. I still haven't touched any stimulants, and I'm continuing to drop these milligrams of benzos at an impressive rate. It even hit me today that I might just be able to go the distance this time.

Instead of feeling like I'm backed into a corner with my hands up taking the punches, I'm in the center putting the benzos on the defensive. This week was definitely my round!

I want to dedicate this week/round to the DBG community: you guys rock, and I'm glad I joined this place!

"Come on, benzos, you ain't so bad! You ain't nothing!"

Happy for you! You've got this!

 
Deperson,

Every great accomplishment starts with the decision to try. Keep the strength and never stop trying.

XO!

Good on ya' Deperson!!..

Dem Benz0's ain't gonna know what's hit 'em : )...

~P~

 
i am in the same position, i do not want to quit since i am also legally prescribed but like to order and have some extra on hand for the days i need a little more motivation to deal with the lazy and stupid people in daily society, when i first started x@n@x 8yrs ago, my first year was bad i would take anywhere from 2mg- 8mg a day and i was buying it from friends and having it prescribed, after that i realized i had a problem and decided to tapper down

i read allot of forums about tappering/ and withdrawals from xanax, so what i did was tapper slow to a comfortable dose and than stayed there for a few months, dropped it again stayed for a few months, now i can take .5mg to 2mg a day and the days i dont work i can get away with .5 to 1mg without withdrawing or craving.

what helps me with my tolerance, is WATER! DRINK THAT !, EXERCISE ! GO DO THAT !, NO ALCOHOL ! THAT MAKES IT HARD TO STOP , 

oh and what works to is when you have a good diet,exercise, mind set is to try to stretch out your dose as long as possible so your body is fighting off the tolerance, so if your used to taking .5mg every 6hrs wait maybe 8hrs -10hrs  til it gets bad and take it , and than repeat until you can space out 15-24hrs since last dose

breaking through that barrier of half life is difficult, once you can control your withdrawals and cravings you can space the xanax out longer from last dose to keep tolerance low or if you go cold turkey you wont suffer as much

my word to you, amen

 
Where are ya Deperson? You are one of the folks I prayed for at midnight! Hope you are doing well. Much love at you my friend!

Cat. Xo

 
I don't mean to speak for Deperson, but he's been at my house since New Years Eve!! Hmm....it's Friday night and he's still here. And my daughters think he's, "Handsome, strong and clever!"

  1. L @ LW815: Better to push other worse discussions out of sight IMO and see random sport shit, but also kinda makes it hard to have that content removed if need be. I don’t know how to view the entire shoutbox recent history but I know it’s possible lol so it’s both a good and bad thing tbh
  2. Ketmaster @ Ketmaster: exactly
  3. L @ LW815: I agree @Ketmaster but their lengthy sport discussions usually tend to happen at convenient times, like when somebody is talking about or asking things that the shoutbox also isn’t meant for(that are worse than random sport talks)
  4. Ketmaster @ Ketmaster: I appreciate the good vibes but I agree sports stuff should like be in a thread or PM or something, not a sports guy so it is kinda like wtf is happening people are messaging each other in a shoutbox
  5. T @ timyboy: Where is the guy with the BTC predictions?
  6. F @ Floaty: like them using the shout box tbh, its appreciated good vibes. Not sure if the box has another purpose seems like its the correct use though
  7. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: @Layne_Cobain Yeah I'll start a thread for us in the Sports section later this morning.
  8. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: @Layne_Cobain Yeah I hated Canales' playcalling. Run the ball. That's what 9ers did since they knew it'd be that type of game. But at the same time, the panthers have a young core, and that was their biggest game in years lol. I understand MNF throwing off the passing game sync and shit just from being hyped up.
  9. L @ luquitoad: Yall should start a sports thread and keep it out of the shoutbox..... just a suggestion .
  10. F @ frankie dicks: need my medication for tdh vyvance
  11. L @ Layne_Cobain: I don’t think we’ll be in prime time again anytime soon 😂
  12. L @ Layne_Cobain: What a horrific game @tiquanunderwood seeiously embarrassing. Defense did their job Bryce the offense and Canales play calling has been atrocious
  13. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: @Layne_Cobain legoooo panthers babbyyyyy
  14. L @ Layne_Cobain: Congrats!!! @tiquanunderwood 5 in a row to climb back into it is amazing… and @MCAJB6122 I agree 💯did not see that coming. Can’t recall the last time there was this much parity across the league it’s insane
  15. M @ MCAJB6122: Chicago at 8-3 has to be the surprise of the season so far
  16. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: Tied for 1st in the North! Chicago beat Pitt. Leggooo
  17. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: @Layne_Cobain yeah we look ugly on offense. but hopefully we continue to pull it out. Me too man Go Panthers !
  18. L @ Layne_Cobain: @tiquanunderwood good luck today against gang green buddy…can’t wait for MNF
  19. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: Hope everyone enjoys football sunday!
  20. M @ Mammasboi123: Thanks @MGAJB6122. I think for future reference, everyone should get in the habit of using the “report” button found on the bottom left of the top comment in threads like the ones mentioned in order to flag threads like this. I’d imagine it’s easier on @Admin than having to check the shout box every day or so.
