Go take bong hits of doomsday really fast! Maybe it will scare you sober?

Yes…Just like anything else, you can become addicted….I know for me with blends, it was real bad..All my mind would think bout from waking up till bed was smoking a bowl…At work, can’t wait to get home n smoke…Out of smoke, waiting was horrible n my mind would go fucking NUTS…That to me was an addiction…The anger was horrible…I was a fucking grouch and I had this rage where I really wanted to hurt someone if they looked at me wrong, like real talk…But after a few days of staying occupied with other shit, it went away.  I think everyone who quits, takes breaks,etc usually get rid of the "fiend’n" after a few days, so try to do something like hit up a gym or do something productive to get your mind off it…Smoke few more cigs if u smoke cigs when you think bout smoking blends lol

Been smoking two packs a day since I started t break three days ago usually a pack last like three days. I’ll def hit up r2 d3. Has he had a problem in past as well?

^^  Basically what he said lol    I can tell you tho I haven’t smoked since I got the samples from contest n that was I don’t even remember but I got hooked again just from a qtr basically…Now, blends don’t even pop in my head at all. Don’t think bout em, don’t need em…Happier than ever and health is fantastic. I am not eating all the fucking time and my moods are more stable.  What did it for me was my 2 kids, wife and another kid on way to put priorities in check and just had to stop yanno, cold turkey sometimes is the best thing.  I’m down to bout 4-6 cigs a day and lost weight from not eating all the damn time from the munchies lol  I guarantee you everyone in here who blends every day is hooked on it. The chems are too strong, some of em remind me of when I use to snort ICE/METH.  =/  Why I quit, blends aren’t what they use to be, got into em cause they were like weed but now they’re like crack.  Crack is whack!  lol  :dance

Thanks a lot job knowing you cared enough about my DD rant and actually rember what I told youeans a lot. Just hearing people mention my family takes the edginessaway. Fsu I feel your struggle I was one meth from 16-18 years old and honestly at times I feel it was easier to quit. Glad to hear you quit for your family do you know what the newest addition to your family is yet if I may ask? I have tons of brand new name brand baby clothes I can help ya with all girls clothes though.

Thanks for asking, actually finding out next week!  Thinking prob a girl by the way she wanting the dick all the time lol  With the boy barely got any…Yeah I was young when I got into ICE but yanno I never once actually paid for ice/meth, was just always around people who had it and shared shards lol    Yeah I would spend all my money on blends and few times diapers needed and just spent 60 on a sack n would be like fuck me and pull out credit card n just spent way too much on blends…ridiculous really!

It’s all good, brother.  I experience the same type things.  I feel pretty rough for the first few hours after I run out, usually get the edgy stressed angry mad I want to smoke feeling you mention, it really does suck, I really hate that part when you stop.  The only good thing is the problems go away pretty fast, usually get back to normal and enjoy being sober somewhere in the 24-72 hour range usually myself.

I usually feel the worst the first few hours after running out, like say it’s like middle of day and I run out, I’m kind of bummed in the evening.  I now prefer to use my last of stash late in the evening before I go to bed so I can just fall asleep, not worry about it and wake up with a new outlook next day.

Stay strong, brother.  It sucks being addicted, we all know what you are feeling.

One good thing about a long T break is you start to feel great again, and start enjoying life sober, the way it’s meant to be enjoyed.  Things just feel easier without the constant thoughts of blends, when will my next hit be, how high can I get, etc, etc.  T-Breaks are crucial in this game, long ones are necessary.  I stopped for 8 months because of stuff that you mentioned.

Keep ya head up homie.

I find the ore offten I take breaks, "I take one every week if possible" the less intense the "w/d" is, it sucks but you just get used to that shitty feeling , you become desensitized to it. at least for me that’s how it is, used to be in the same boat with needing blend all the time, then I realized it was because I refused to allow my body to adjust properly. IMHO binge isn’t an option even the most die hard can’t sustain it indefinably so the best option is to abstain for as long as possible as often as possible I can tell you that’s easier said then done. but in the long run it’ll mean when you ar blending your enjoying it and not just maintaining sanity.

I have been off cannabinoids since December, at least? Also had taken a few test quits before that.
At the risk of sounding repetitive, I found a few things to help.

Fresh air and exercise. The endorphins are real! Working up a badass sweat and being outside have a great synergy to help with a mood change and the physical activity and the way it makes you feel are a great diversion from those urges and boredom.

Chocolate. I’ve read in a couple places how some good old fashioned chocolate can help curb the immediate cravings, and from experience it is true. Incidentally, tastes fricking awesome.

(less "natural" route) I found kava kava to take the edge off in a big way. Not a highly euphoric thing for ME, but pleasant and kinda tides you over. Kratom is a godsend. Only advisable around once a week or so IMHO to keep it all on an even keel, kratom provides pain relief and a light warm fuzzy euphoria. Not twacked out crazy, just mellow. I’ve also dabbled in many of the "natties" but I won’t suggest those in this case. I don’t think natties are helpful for one who is seeking a certain sensation and level of head change. It’s akin to drinking decaffeinated coffee. Just kinda .. WTF.

Finally keeping yourself busy and occupied are useful. It’s kind of the anti- couch lock. Boredom spawns the greatest urge to get F’d up in my opinion.

Hope this is in some way helpful, whether for a momentary Tbreak or long term adjustments to habits and behaviors. Take em or leave em!

I agree with everything you said walter. However, I feel that the above part is where many of us have our issue with quitting/taking breaks. We take breaks and things get a bit better in the coming days and weeks but not completely. You are aware that you are now sober and should be enjoying life like you said, the way it’s meant to be enjoyed. The problem is that it’s very hard for some of us to get to that place. We do everything we can to better the situation and we know that we SHOULD be feeling that way but we still don’t. That’s the really hard part is that things do get better to an extent after taking a break, but for some of us we only get back to a place where life is just ”bearable”. But hey, we do it to ourselves so we can only attempt to better ourselves and hope that someday, those of us who are in this place, will not ”need” blends to enjoy life in a way.

It is very hard to get to that point where you can enjoy life without the crutch of blends or other drugs/alcohol.  I’ve been there, it takes a lot of trail and error, and you fail many times trying to stick with being sober for a long while.

When I used to first quit, I couldn’t really enjoy anything for first few days off blends, just felt very uninteresting everything and I was very unmotivated a lot.  Just felt like sleeping or being lazy when I was off blends two years ago.  Wouldn’t feel any better until I got something in the mail or knew something was coming.

Now though it’s a different thing, I really enjoy being sober, I tend to enjoy life a little more when I’m strait, most likely because I’m not all fucked up while doing those activities.

It also doesn’t help I’m being forced to take a break. Thank you for all your input guys it does help a lot. But I still feel like :ineeddrugs I may talk to my doctor to help with anxiety. Shit sucks man.

If you scrawny start lifting. You need to find a hobby to get addicted too.

I get high from being off blends.

I can feel the blood running through my veins, I have so much energy I can literally get everything done and more if I put my mind to it.

When I am standing still, I fell like I am "whooshing" through space just standing there.

I literally feel like I’ve my finger in a light socket and got shocked with vibrant, energetic LIFE.

Try to enjoy it.

You’ll have more blends soon enough.

You need to re-wire your programmed thinking patterns.

You are not a junky. You are a human being with immense potential.

Take a walk in the sun.

What Dub said is so spot on.  Agree 1000%.

It’s like your in my head lol
