Undoubtedly most GBS posters have been addicted to something, and most still probably are. Ten years ago I was in an icu for a month on a morphine drip, little button I could press would dose me up but then I'd have to wait five minutes before I could press it again. The day the morphine doc came in and said I'd be taken off early I feebly swore at him and threatened to attack him if he took my morphine away. Several days later it was Christmas and I was writhing in my bed going through withdrawls. It was terrible but thankfully I was too sick/weak to do anything about it and in a controlled environment I was weened off of it. How hosed up are you and what addictions have you kicked or are trying to kick? To what depths have you fallen to feed your addictions? Pictures if you have them please.

Stoic Commie posted:being addicted to video games/the internet is worse than cigarette addiction in my educated opinion It is debatable but video games and Internet addiction disconnects you from real life and the older generations whose knowledge will die with them

RideTheSpiral posted:i smoked about 5 packs one night in the dunes of a desert looking up at the biggest sky ive ever seen. it was the poo poo. no other drug would have done it. I think the most I ever smoked was maybe three packs in a night back when I was young dumb and tripping a lot. Lay on the ground on the top of a hill by an observatory with good friends while on mushrooms and watched the sky dance. Tripping epiphanies are incredible.

Foid One posted:You're really lucky he took you off. He left me on a few more days but yes it was lucky it was in a controlled environment because if I'd been an addict outside of a hospital I'm not sure I'd have ever stopped it. stringball posted:Suboxone and methadone are the real miserable withdrawals, nowhere near any of the other opiates. can't really compare to those as I don't know, except for alcohol and cigarettes, but the feeling of withdrawals was worse than the cancer or the procedures so for me it was the worst. Please share your experiences with benzos, alcohol SSRI/N and psych meds if you feel comfortable enough to do so.
