      The bad times start to outweigh the good times. In my experience, you start to get anxiety before even doing it - like you’ve anticipated the comedown before it’s even arrived. I don’t think you ever get to really enjoy it like you did when you were young then.

    I started doing drugs since my teenage, got addicted to cocaine. Spent my whole life fighting cocaine addiction. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my girlfriend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 6 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.

      I always admire those who beat their addiction. Knowing it's possible to fix your life knowing there's people out there that have done what I thought was impossible gives me hope I will make it through as well. Those who share their experiences don't know how much it helps when you're about to give up, it gives you the strength knowing somone who actully know what it's like to go through this tell you it's possible, it's not the same somone telling you you can do it when they have no idea what it's like, but hearing somone who knows what it's like that helps a lot since you understand it firsthand and made it out gives so much hope. so thanks for sharing.

      You can go to rehab for alcohol addiction because it can kill you and is physically addictive,.
      Cocaine including crack cocaine is psychologically addictive, no physical withdrawals at all and for that reason in my country they will just offer you talking groups.
      Pointless drug not found in any pharmacy or hospital.
      Cannabis is used for anxiety, depression, pain, insomnia.
      Mushrooms, ecstasy and LSD for anxiety and depression, amphetamines for ADHD, ketermiene for local anaesthetic before a medical procedure, heroin for pain, end of life care and for diarrhea.
      Basically every drug especially heroin/opiates is found in every pharmacy or hospital in the world.
      Cocaine and crack are not and not even physically addictive that's why you don't go to detox off them, pointless drug no pharmaceutical purposes to it whatsoever and before it's in You're hand's it's been bashed up lot's of time's

At those times, we partied at underground techno... at one of these parties, he did too much and was never the same afterwards. And thats when I met him. I never knew him before this, as a normal man. Only as this new state of mind. Ppl were making fun of him. Me - not. I was the only person taking him seriously. I have a clean consciousness now. Contrary to others, who always made fun of him, including his bro. One time I got into the issues in a pub, and he vanished, 5 minutes later, the guys in the pub started to beat me up real bad - thats when he returned. He forsee this, he returned with 20cm kitchen knife, to fucking save my life and thats what he fucking did!!! Damn ./ Anyway. We played as a DJs for a moment at one pub, had one succesfull night there. Everybody loved it, we were invited for next week. Agreed on that. I stashed my DJ equip at his place (just a smal DJ needles for a turntable) and agreed he will take it next week. That never happend. Next week, he was a already dead. Hang himself. What the fuck mate .... still hurts. He was like 20yo and me as well. Now Im 40.

    I believe I just had one of the worst comedowns yesterday. I've been trying to quit coke and alcohol but being alone at home triggers my addiction. Went to a local rock concert, everything was amazing, but I thought I couldn't have any fun if I didn't drink and snort. I wouldn't even go there without getting drunk. I've never used as much as I did yesterday and spent all the money I had. I had such a breakdown that I was just bawling my eyes out for more than an hour out of guilt, embarassment and everything. I just want to stop this shit and all the lies that come with it, I have someone to take care of and I'm just throwing my life away. It's like I'm a completely different person now, I don't even know who I am anymore. I hope this was the last time. Thanks for the vids, they always help me.

      I’m also an alcoholic and cocaine addict. I’ve been in recovery for 4 years. I know exactly how you’re feeling because I’ve been there countless times. I would routinely snort my paycheck within 2-3 days. The shame, guilt, remorse, anxiety… it’s fucking horrible. The good news is that you can stop man. I promise you can. I won’t sugarcoat it - it’s not easy. You have to want to do it. Admitting you have a problem is the first step and it seems like you’re there. I recommend letting your plugs know that you’re done. I would also delete their phone numbers. I had one plug whose number I memorized but I would purposely try to fuck it up in my mind and I eventually did forget it. Good thing, too, because about two years into my recovery I had an incredible urge to get some. I tried like hell, but the friends I knew who were still doing blow all knew that I was sober and no one would get it for me. People, places and things - you have to be willing to change all of them if you really want to get sober.
      I know meetings aren’t for everyone but they really helped me out. I’d even say they helped save my life. There’s also a really great subreddit called r/stopdrinking that has thousands of people in it that are just like us.
      Remember - you don’t have to commit to never getting high again. Just commit to not getting high today. When you wake up tomorrow, do the same thing again.

    Coke an alcohol always been very problematic in my life also ! Good to hear your story - but also sorry to hear about your wife and father ,
    I am at the stage of still having little relapses on it but hating myself for it - I go more than a week or 2 an I will slip up only for one night but it really not enjoyable anymore - hate myself it’s soo ingrained in my social culture as a thing to do when out . Hopefully I can find the same strength you have had to do and get completely clean but every step is a step an compared to what I was like it’s a total different stage soo can only keep trying to progress the brain is a really tricky thing to control - that’s for sharing your video

    Not endorsing drug use, but I used to wash my coke with anhydrous acetone and let it dry in a coffee filter. Coke won't dissolve in Acetone, but lots of 'cut' will. Made it 100% better. I don't do anything these days except craft beer when working in the yard.

      Someone I know is addicted to cocaine and I'm worried it's cut with something. They're falling asleep a lot on it so maybe cut with opiates, do you know if they'll dissolve? Could do an experiment....

    @TheFingolito Před 7 měsíci +2

    I had a very similar maniacal psychosis of paranoina that all started in one of my runs with amphetamine when I was about 18 years old and it took me well over a year to get back to normal. I had the same paranoia with police breaking into my apartment and hiding in different parts of my flat. I couldnt go to the bathroom without a knife and when I sat in the bath one night with two knives it just fell off like water that it wasn't real, if they wanted to come in and take me it would already had happened. So myblesson from that was to get out of a psychosis like that you must figure it out yourself. You got into it and you're the only one who can get out of it. ❤

    One of my worst experiences is when I was so high on coke I parked at a park in the middle of the night . I guess during that time security closes the gate to the parking lot and I look behind my rear mirror I thought it was a police I was so frightened I threw my bag of coke on the side and once the car pulled up and flash the light at my car it was a security only . My heart was beating so fast …
    Then I left and came back to pick up my bag …. God I’m so glad I am sober now for 1 year and I am taking my classes from court that got me sober . I’m so grateful . I can relate to all your stories . Ugh sometimes I will have flashbacks … 😢

    I'm 8 months completely sober and I relate to what you said deeply. The sex drive running overdrive and body parts not working is so true. I realised I had very little in common with the people I surrounded myself with except a love for the drug and don't hear from hardly any of them. Theres alot more to life than booze and drugs.
