i know how it is mvapes.. hang in there man.. i have been there.. thank god i had A LOT of support from a few close friends and family.. or i don't think i could have made it.. i was constantly falling apart while getting clean.. coincidentally, new years day 2011 was the day i made a change.. after a 16 day binge i had a close call.. i used to like mixing pharms and hard drugs w/ liquor.. mostly downers w/ uppers to keep me going..
these days i can do good for long periods of time, and then one day out the blue, something gets triggered, and i'll get really strong(but short lived) cravings.. it can be hard to resist what you've known so well.. these days i'm pretty out of the loop, and i don't even want to know where that stuff is at... because i'm afraid if i did i'd eventually get pulled back in.. i decided the kind of life i wanted for myself didn't coincide w/ the life i was living, and the world i wanted to live in wasn't going to manifest out of doing drugs all the time.. it can be easy to lose sight of what is really important when you get stuck chasing selfish thrills.. i had a choice to make.. for me that new years day close call, scared me straight.. i remember saying if i get through this one, i'm going to change.. change was hard.. after so long of living in a fog, i had to learn how to be me all over again.. i felt scared i would never be myself again.. and w/o the drugs being there anymore, i felt extra lost and super insane.. the drugs had been my identity for so long, i had forgotten who i was.. eventually, gradually, i remembered.. for the most part.
addiction on top of PD; i cant imagine what you are dealing w/ right now.. its not easy, but i know you can make it... for me, eating and smoking A LOT(i mean A LOT) of herb helped me get off everything pretty much all at once... withdraws are no joke.. i needed to be sedated heavily after coming off drugs.. i was hot/cold, had shakes/aches, crawling skin, visual distortions, nausea, trouble eating and sleeping.. and the CRAZY thoughts/mood swings.. it was so hard to get off drugs, that becoming a slave to addiction again seemed like a better option.. that first hump is the hardest.. in these times, having support is HUGE.. you definitely have that here.. well wishes.. i feel for you man, and i admire the way you reached out.. its tough.
