Loneliness and smoking crack

[Alexander]

 

 

[Phil]

When the emotional suppression or unwillingness to acknowledge & feel emotions has gotten to the point the body is addicted to an extremely harmful & therein illegal substance, a voluntary commitment rehabilitation center is ideal. That means you can’t leave, and can’t use substances, and will feel emotions and receive the guidance. It’s also ideal in that it isn’t a hospital, prison or cemetery. Don’t think or talk about it though, as thinking & talking (without allowing the guidance) is what essentially got you where you are with this. Just do it. Not tomorrow, not later, not after something else, not when it’s convenient.

 

Right now.

I will eventually. I dated a business owner a few years ago. I thought she might end up being a sugar mamma or something like that. Maybe pay my tuition. I almost had her convinced to let me live with her rent free. But nope, I got dumped. What can I say, I'm sugar for the cougars. 😁 It seems like they only see me as a chew toy though.

LMAO! It’s pretty easy my fellow crackhead.

Please refrain from name calling. Thanks.

I  just finished doing a job in a

house where the mom was clearly using meth or crack and the children (young adults) were coping with neglect. It smelled awful and was overall just sad. 

 

Definitely a route you don't want to go down. 

 

Now suddenly I appreciate the FUCK out of my christian friends, like holy shit (no pun intended) they got it good!!

@Kevin also, ever heard of TRE? I just remembered this technique now. It's a somatic practice to release trauma. 

 

i once spoke with a self-realization aligned teacher and she used that technique on her path to empty out the body. 

 

She also had a son who was addicted to crack and did the technique and now he's been clean for years and has a wife and kids and good life.

@Kevin Just came to mind to ask... Is there anything we (here on the forum) could do to help you feel better? Anything come to mind that we could give, say, or help with?

 

For example, I once asked Reiki healing from Phil, and it was great.

 

If anything comes to mind, just ask!

I was actually seeing a therapists who I did TRE when I got into crack. She wanted to do some normal sessions before TRE but after a few weeks I started having difficulty getting up for my sessions because they were at 9:00am.

I’m definitely interested in it. I think I will try it soon. 
 

part of why I’ve been putting stuff off is my sleep issues. I have an appointment today to see my sleep specialist. I should be getting a cpap which will help. Also I just visited my parents and I slept on a firmer mattress than I normally do and my sleep was way better so I think I need to buy a new mattress. After that I’m gonna go back to therapy and get TRE.

I watched this. It was great. I wonder if I can find AA or NA meetings like this. I kind of have a bad impression of them because I don’t believe the whole I’m addict and I have a disease thing.

Hey I really appreciate you checking in. This forum is great. It’s the only forum I’ve ever made an account on and posted.

 

I think I’m doing better. I’ve only been sober 2 weeks so not out of the woods yet. But I’ve been microdosing which has been helping a lot. I feel more confident about quitting crack this time because 2 weeks ago when I finished smoking I threw out all my paraphernalia. Pipe, bong, spoon etc. I hadn’t done that before.

 

Tolerance was building and the drug was becoming way less fun and the lows in the weeks after became far worse. Also I’ve started up my normal hobbies again so I’m feeling much better about quitting.

Maybe a psychedelic retreat could be quit helpful for you? Ayahuasca or shrooms. Though I'd say don't do it alone. See if there's anyone you'd like to 'feel it all' with.

 

Healing really seems "too good to be true" when you're sick.

[Blessed2]

Maybe not even a psychedelic retreat, but a meditation retreat.

 

Basicslly, what comes to mind (intuitively) is honest, cathartic openness. Expressing what you really feel. Opening up. Putting it all out. Someone who listens.

I don’t think I’m ready to do a psychedelic retreat quite yet. I had a traumatic 5meodmt trip in 2020 and I think I got ptsd from it and then I tried ayahuasca in 2021 and it took me to the same terrifying place as the 5meodmt. I think my body is finally healing from that. I don’t feel in fight or flight as much. But still I want to start with more gentle psychedelics.

 

At a festival last summer a guy I met gave me pure mescaline so that will probably be the next thing I do.

This is something I wrote about addiction a couple of days ago in another thread on here about addiction.  It's kinda bluntly stated, but I wanted to share it with you.  

General all purpose way of beating addictions?  Stop doing it.  With addictions you don't have to do anything, the key is to be able to stop doing something.  You will have the addiction until you stop, period.  Sometimes if you're lucky you will stop on your own, but this only works sometimes.  Other times you have to bite the bullet and stop usually because you have some form of extrinsic motivation impacting you like some aspect of your health or life is falling apart.  But you don't have to wait for that -- you can just stop right now if you want to.  People don't want to stop, they don't want to take responsibility.  You have to draw a line in the sand and say no more to yourself, which is usually incredibly difficult to do because most people are not high in self-control.  But the answer is remarkably simple: stop doing it.  You don't need to do anything, it's a stop doing.  So addictions are not the hardest problem to solve because you don't actually need to really do anything.  Once I realized this it helped me a lot with understanding addiction and the way out of it.
