Hello i'm new here xx
Been caining it for a couple of years now and am on my third weekend of no chems, weed or drink and i'm feeling really shit!!
Dunno if its the weather tho :no: got over the week and a half without base fine, done that a few times before - and u usually feel better after 9 days (for some reason) but i'm now on my 5th day without weed and i feel shakey and dizzy and pretty horrid :crying:
its not even supposed to be addictive!! Why do i feel so poorly?!?! :crying:
i've given it up cos it was supossed to help me get fit and healthy and happy but so far i've been nothing but tired, bored and REALLY lonely as all my friends are still out getting wasted, i've since fallen out with my best friend and i'm doing all this on my own but starting to wonder if the straight life is actually any better than the wreckhead life :banghead:

Your use of cannabis is getting out of hand. Because of the health risks and other problems, we advise you to stop your cannabis use - do not be tempted to leave this until next week or the week after but try to do something now. Try the self-help programme [Click here] or get the 'Guide To Cutting Down and Stopping Cannabis Use' booklet - it can be ordered online by clicking [here]

oh dear still i did the quiz as if i hadnt given up but wanted to so i guess the hardest bit is done
doesnt make it any easier going from a socialite to a boring straighty tho
You can still be a socialite without drugs, I know because I am one
Anyway good luck with everything :thumb:
quitting speed i caught everything that was going round for about three months ...but nowt serious.
i think a lot of people ...experts included ...don't realise how heavy speed can be on your body.
in my experience ...it was a hell of a lot harder on my body than heroin.
i doubt the lack of cannabis is making you feel ill but you never know.
if you want to be a tea totaler ...thats going to be hard ...psycologic wise after being a regular stoner speed freak.
it never appealed to me so i cut out the speed coke smack and stuck with the weed and drink.
very rare that i hammer either.
sometimes don't bother with them for a few weeks ...but not planned ...just loose interest or am to busy.
good luck in whatever you choose.
oh yeah ...just remembered ...if you do want to become a teatotaler ...i thimk you'll find you will end up having to find new friends ...
Just out of curiousity you say speed was harder on your body than heroin, which was harder on your body/mind to come off? I would assume heroin but I dont really know..
did you know that morphine was always considered to be the drug of ...if not everlasting ...longer lasting youthfulness?
opiates do virtualy no damage.
heroin is physicaly hard to come off ...amphetamine when abused to the degree i did it ...can take some serious readjusting mentaly.
amphetamine is more a psycological/emotional addiction where heroin/opiates are more physicaly addictive and ...the most dangerous and life threatening ...and for me addicive wise ...is nicotine.
try a bit of socializing with another group oif people.
Thank you for your reply
the more i think about everything the more i think i cant do this! I rid myself of onoe problem and ten more pop up the only problem i had before was being tired and ratty during the week now i've opened a whole new can of evil worms
many experts in the field believe you can actualy go through a grieving process when leaving a way of life behind.
then theres the added problem of ...building a new one ...from what ...where ...how?
the way i see it is ...you are going through the trauma of being lost.
a situation that could be described as ...two dead ends and you still have to choose.
do you live with family?
if so ...do they know?
don't put yourself down.
keep posting ...you never know what ggoood advice your going to get here ...even from me when i'm a bit more awake.
sorry but i have to head to my bed ...i am absolutely nackered.
please ...be a good mum ...and as well as loving the little one ...continue loving yourself ...your the most important thing in little ones life.
and believe it or not ...it can and does get better.
thinking about you.
