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

Kidding!!!! He's sitting beside me doing better than life itself! He had one temptation a few weeks ago to stim, and has felt badly for it during, after and since. deperson wanted his thread removed so he wouldn't be reminded about the demons he fought - but his account was closed instead. We are sitting on my back porch listening to a gentle, peaceful rainfall -- and dep wanted me to post "He's dead." So...not my idea!! But I assure you, his big German heart and mind are thriving. dep is down to one benzo per day...and stimulants are an almost forgotten vice.

Viva La dep!!!

Maybe Deperson doesn't remember, but he asked to have his account closed. I even asked him to reconsider. I'm glad you are both going strong and I envy your peaceful rainfall moment. Out here in the drought ridden west, we have missed that sound.

 
Cops, ER & forced psych ward helped me ween off personally... Sigh - those were dark days. 

What's sad is I dated a cop for years from the same dept that threw me in there but that did not seem to matter since he only claims me when he wants to. 

 
What an ass.  Can I come over and kick him in the nutsack?  Cuz apparently I can do that and get off Scot free.

 
Lol! I love all of your comments about my cop "friend". I've been with him for years on and off but we both have our own commitments in life if you know what I mean so I try to keep him at arms length anyway for many reasons. He did get me out of a ticket, does that count?! Lol - I'm realistic about the realness of our relationship - if you could call it that. He's like a bad drug I cannot completely kick and vice versa. Life is complicated so I just roll with whatever I feel like in the moment. I'm not worried about him though, if I wanted to I could ruin his career and home life in one click of a photo. I'm not that cold hearted though and he trusts me after all these years. Our connection is fucked up and unique all in one but I've never been one of those stupid idealistic girls about it. It is what it is. Grandma always told me the best way to get over a man is to get under a new one. So, I'm selfish about it and I'll completely disconnect when it suites me best. Jaded? Yes, oh yes. But so is he - he parades me around to all his friends when he wants, then disappears when my cra cra self comes out. I'm just a young trophy to him. 

Cat-you're the second friend who has asked me specifically if they can kick him in the balls! Too funny! He's just a selfish prick is all, take the best and leave the rest I suppose. 

 
Hmm after reading your 2 posts P and R, it got me thinking.

I have to say, I love my opiates. Yes, I do have a legitimate condition that I need them for but let's admit, they make you feel damn good!

So why am I not on the street corner in my own excrement?

I believe that the pressure people put upon themselves about using can be very detrimental. I take them, I like them, and I'm OK with that. I do occasional tapers to reset my tolerance and then let it go up again. I'm OK with that too.

If I were wracked with self-loathing about it, I can see how I might want to just "give up" and take so much that I don't feel anything.

Dear Revenger, don't be your own worst enemy. Maybe you could just reset your goals for the time being. If you could make your precription last with maybe 1 monthly order for a safety net then you wouldn't have much to worry about.

I always think, celebrate any small victories. Don't dwell on the failures, that's over with.

You can gain control of the situation as long as you find something to be positive about. Taking a lot of pills doesn't make you a bad person, so please don't hate yourself for it.

You can have your cake and eat it too, all it takes is a little bit of discipline.

Best regards

  1. CalFresh @ CalFresh: Thanks everyone. My family and I are safe ATM. @mellowella thank you, but they cleaned me out. the shelves are empty but I'm hoping to call in some favors to restock ASAP. @xenxra I will reach out to set up a secure comms channel for us. Thanks again all. Yesterday was tough, but the support I've received from those I can share is with has been a Godsend.
  2. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: Mad love to you and your family @CalFresh
  3. xenxra @ xenxra: @CalFresh if you are able to DM me (in a secure manner) the transactions associated with your btc theft, i can look into that part for you at least. i;m still 99% certain if the fbi didn't discard my leads they could have gotten some of my coins back and considering you had your coins stolen within the us, you have a much better chance of recovery than me. unless they went through mixers i could probably trace them myself.
  4. O @ Outsider9173: @CalFresh Haven't been here long but I want to wish you a fast recovery
  5. crimp @ crimp: neck spine surgery 8 ribs broke and scalp split onen about 6 inches
  6. crimp @ crimp: need some help dude im so injured its not even funny dm me for details just need someone willing to help me fust for a week
  7. CnC5 @ CnC5: @CalFresh if theres anything i can do brother lmk!
  8. M @ Mokachin0: @CalFresh email me I may be able to assist
  9. mellowella @ mellowella: I will always remember what you did for me the very first time I donated. I have been waiting to pay that kindness forward.
  10. mellowella @ mellowella: @CalFresh are you and your family safe? You’ve helped me in a pinch and were more than generous, and I’m sure you’ve helped others. How can we help you? Does it help at all if we completely buy out what’s left? Maybe that gives time and funds to restock and rebuild? I don’t want to break any rules here, but please let us know if we can do anything. All on your time of course.
  11. CalFresh @ CalFresh: thanks guys. I'm pulling together what I have left and leaning on the kindness of folks who support me to restock my shelves so that I can keep the lights on. Having my savings drained and my security vanish in an instant is paralyzing and the repercussions will only be realized in the coming days and weeks. for now I'm just trying to stay focused on the immediate priorities for ensuring this doesn't. cause cataclysmic failure to the life I've built for my children and I.
  12. H @ hotdog45: @CalFresh hey man if I can do anything, anything at all to help you get back on your feet let me know. Truly my heart goes out to you. I sent you an email also
  13. G @ gfunkster: @CalFresh im really sorry to hear that. But remember karma is real my man. They just fd their karma for a long time.

  16. CalFresh @ CalFresh: everyone here is safe. I was here alone.
  17. CalFresh @ CalFresh: friends, about a few hours ago my home was invaded by two punk thugs with guns. They stole everything I had in my home: cash, electronics, and mags, and forced me to transfer $20K in Bitcoin. it is a huge loss and I'm still reeling trying to figure out what i.can do to recover. For now I'm just trying to secure what little I have left so they can't take anything else. I'm telling you guys cause theres not many others I can tell. please bare w/ me, it'll take a few days to get back up and running
  18. CnC5 @ CnC5: @xenxra awesome
  19. giantsquids @ giantsquids: don't jinx it now haha
  20. xenxra @ xenxra: bitcoin is probably going to $120k in the next few weeks, screenshot this.
