detox is hell on earth

[ethniccel1]

Some people drink loads of coffee for years, some smoke tobacco, some drink alcohol, some take illegal drugs, some are hooked on sugar, some hooked on legal opiods.

No matter what anybodys fix is the detox is brutal. First days you have extreme cravings that drive you absolutely mad, you feel paranoid, scared, aggressive, agitated , then after a week you feel constantly exhausted and extremely lethargic and also at times paranoid etc. During the lethargic period you get intervalls of cravings where you mind is saying just take one more of what ever thing you are addicted to and only will power can stop you from "taking one last hit".

Then when the cravings nolonger occur regularly you discover that you are actually fucking bored (and fucking exhausted to actually do anything about it). The reason you were hooked on whatever was because it helped with your copes whatever your copes are and now you have to build a whole new structure of life and copes. But the reason for the addiction was because you had nothing before that anyway.

Anyway detox is a hell and better to do it all the way to completion because some people spend years or a lifetime getting clean then going back to their old ways. A life of constant paranoia, exhaustiton, agitation, addiction and the health effects etc etc. Its a fuck up either you go all in and all the way including building a new life or you just say fuck it and stick to the old ways till death , no other 2 ways about it, these are the only options.

Whats the alcohol detox like? Is it hell on earth like paranoia, aggitated the whole fucking time where 1 second seems like an hour and you just feel shit?

 

[CHOoseWisely123]

I’ve done lots of drugs, many psychedelics.

I’ve never been addicted to any of them maybe except for Molly but I can’t get my hands on it anymore so yeah

I did all that and never got addicted to a single one of them except for tobacco

shieeet if you didnt get addicted then make sure to never get addicted to those things. Once you are addicted to detox means first going through hell

I had a “friend” who was addicted to opiates.

Everytime he comes off from the drug he’s a major asshole, and he’s not even bad looking but the drugs literally fucked up his face and made him look ugly.

Drugs are degenerate and honestly I cannot afford to use drugs besides occasional alcohol.

Pretty much. Also uncontrollable shaking, sweating and insomnia, freaky dreams when you do sleep and even some hallucinations. Seizures are possible. I've been hospitalised twice and been through outpatient rehab.

You already detoxed off alcohol and in the recovery phase or you in the detox process currently?

I'm a few months sober now. I've just got to watch out for those things you outlined, rather astutely I have to say, in your first post: the boredom, the reasons behind the addiction in the first place (for me that includes depression, which is only partly to do with inceldom), etc. etc. Anyway, I've been structuring my new lifestyle around exercise, which is good enough for the time being.

How come the interest in the topic?

Because I have been there done that. Detoxed completely first from alcohol like 11 years ago then from weed a few months later then recently from cigarettes and coffee. Now its just sugar remaining and all I will be taking is water and unprocessed food. I am happy with my progress but it was not easy and took me years to reach this point with many struggles.

The thing I hate most now is the fucking relapses because of the brain playing tricks on me of " just one last hit". Now I just shut out those thoughts immediately because I am sick and tired of always going back and forth between detox and relapse.

Now I gymmaxx, travelmaxx, escortmaxx because I still got money left over at the end of the month due to quitting the addictions. Its crazy how much money you spend to fund that shit.

By the way how long did it take you completely quit alcohol? Years as well of back and forth?

Ah, I see. Solid work getting clean dude. Impressive. And yeah I hear that just shut out those thoughts of using thing; I've been doing plenty of that lately. It's not even worth the contemplation. The merry-go-round is tiresome at best; I've been trying to quit for about five years. I usually get weeks or sometimes months but this is the longest streak for quite a while.

Yes it is. I can't stop eating sugar foods. The cravings are so bad I can't help but eat a lot of cakes then I feel ill and no energy afterwards and have to lie down and fall asleep.

I read that the Muslim conquest, 8th C., of Spain came to a halt as soon as the soldiers started into sugar foods and they lost their energy.

I did kick the habit but had half a cheese cake and the cycle started again.

Its not impressive at all, but also yeah impressive but kind of more of saying fuck it. It is fucking hell and an even bigger fuck up when in the cycle of hooked on the shit.

I had to go through fuck ups feeling like shit , ill health, low self esteem, paranoia etc with back and forth relapses before saying fuck it and going all the way.

Thtas why I am writing to anybody who intends to quit something. Its like dude go all in and ask for help where ever possible and take the help or either just say fuck it and cope till death.

Anyway after addiction there are other copes as well, I mean dudes can get their dick sucked by disease free trailer trash for $20 , travel maxxing, , gymmaxxing, landwhale maxxing etc etc. Anyway theres life after addiction. Yeah thats what I wanted to say to dudes.
