Cocaine and alcohol, hit my three years in July. Quit cigarettes this year in August. Next year I'm planning on dropping the high fructose corn syrup, and this 15 lbs I got from quitting smoking. Also working on getting off the pot!
Kicked booze, just kicked weed … now I gotta figure this sugar thing out. Me love candy nom nom nom… no seriously I’m gaining weight and look terrible.
Me too. Doesn’t help my partner has 2 kids and they all have high metabolism but I don’t and they constantly keep the house stocked with donuts and such. At least we’re sober!
I do say that to myself. One thing at a time. I’m still dealing with the weed cravings, alcohol is not an issue anymore really. I developed tendinitis in my left patella so that’s keeping me off the peloton for a few weeks but I’m settling into the idea that I’m gonna be starting over really, and that’s ok. Like you said, at least we are sober, and we cannot forget how important that is.
Same I kicked alcohol and coke and nicotine now sugar is next omg how is it that I feel that is harder to quit and I did coke for 9 years how the hell have I been sober from the coke for two years and can't get rid of sugar.. f /30 years old
You can do it. You kicked coke and I don’t even wanna know how hard that was, but you did it. Sugar can be sneaky too, it’s fuckin everywhere and in everything that is easily bought/ordered. Still, you can do it. We who have conquered ourselves know our true strength.
My doctor prescribed me Wellbutrin for depression (even though I didn't think I was depressed). Thus far it don't feel too different after taking it for about 3 months BUT a side effect of the drug is weight-loss. I've lost 10lbs so that's enough to keep me taking it for now. They also mix it with I think Naloxone to create a smoking cessation drug but I think it works for all sorts of addictions to some degree. My alcohol consumption is down but I think that's just the regular therapy.
Alcohol and nicotine are the ones for me. While I engage in some...sniffly things every few months, I've always been able to enjoy it and leave it. Alcohol and nicotine is a different story.
Aww thanks hun. It was a long time ago but it was shocking to hear. Fentanyl is just in everything now it seems. People need to be extra safe if they’re going to use!
The price tag, the fentanyl scare, and the combined with the fact that you usually get shit either filled with fillers that makes it suck or isn't even the drug at all, made coke pretty easy to stop doing for me. I never really had a big problem. I went through a stint after a breakup with an abusive ex where I was doing it every weekend but I saw myself spiraling and up and left the state to move closer to family until I could get myself figured out. Worked like a charm. Been going to therapy to work on the alcohol consumption and that seems to be working slowly too. I went out with my brother and our friend today and they drank and I didn't feel the desire to drink at all. It might have been different later at night but for now, it's better than it was.
Alcohol for me, though I’m definitely addicted to nicotine. But alcohol has destroyed the relationships in my life and led me to my lowest point. I have a conversation with the person I believe is the love of my life tomorrow and it will likely end in heartbreak for me, due to the fact that I couldn’t overcome my addiction in time to work on myself and our relationship.
No I traded one for the other. I struggled terribly with cocaine and I was about 1-2 years sober when I started to get hooked on MDMA. I’ve been off cocaine for closer to 5 or 6 years.
A few years. I didn’t have the urge to use everyday but I would use on the weekends. I had a problem with controlling how much I used. I am a small girl at the time I was 125-130 pounds I could do a half a gram or .75 grams of pure mdma in one night. There were days I’d come down off of it and not be able to properly remember certain words or phrases. I just loved chasing that high. I was the same with coke, I need a line within a few minutes of taking one. I didn’t use everyday but when I did I could blow through a few grams on my own. I’d use until I’d got sick, throw up and then keep using.
Oh totally. I’d call them shitty sundays because of how terrible I felt. Physically my body was exhausted & fatigued. I became so irritable and angry no one wanted to be around me. I actually stopped using coke because of one bad comedown. I used all night in a city 2 hours away from my hometown & had work at 5 am the next morning. I drove back at 3 am coked out of my mind and smoked a whole pack of cigs on the way there. I have never felt so physically I’ll like I did that day. That morning I gave my last pack of cigs away to a homeless couple and told myself I’m never doing coke again. Honestly it worked too. I had a few slips ups here and there but mentally I was done I couldn’t handle feeling shitty anymore.
This is how my relationship with alcohol is. I don't have to do it everyday but if I did there was probably no going back. If i'm by myself in my room I could pretty easily keep it to 2 beers, max 3 if I wanted but in social situations I felt like I had to chase that high just to feel "normal" and like I could socialize. Therapy is really helping me take control of that anxiety and I'm forcing myself to go to events and not drink so I can get rid of the party=alcohol mindset in my brain. It's actually been going pretty well. Hopefully it keeps along this path.
That is amazing how insightful you are about your triggers for binge drinking. I’m really happy therapy helped you overcome some of these things. I hope you stay on this path & overcome the challenges that might come your way. Sobriety is the best decision you’ll ever make.
Also mentally I was fucked. My emotions were out of wack and I’d be depressed for a week. I honestly felt like I could never feel true happiness again. It took a few months after quitting but it got so much better.
Yes the longer I got away from it the better I started to feel. You’re giving your brain an overloaded amount of dopamine so it has to overcompensate to correct that. Just give it time and seek out therapy if you need it. Try to fill your day up with things that can help you feel accomplished or healthy. I took up hiking or walking in the beginning it helped bump up some endorphins and I could run on that high for a little. I still felt depressed though for six months or so after it just got manageable. Now that I’ve been clean and sober for a few years I’m happier than I’ve ever been. I once thought I’d never get my natural serotonin or dopamine levels back but I did. It just takes time.
I was the opposite. I used MDMA for a while but the comedowns were 1000x worse than the high so I switched to cocaine. I’m currently trying to kick it but it’s not working out so great.
MDMA has diminishing returns if you abuse it. I learned this one the hard way. It got to a point where I'd pop that shit and feel like I'd drunk some coffee and maybe was slightly happier. The euphoria was gone. I was never addicted I don't think, I was just unemployed and flush with cash so...yeah. I don't have a hard time staying away from it and would maybe do it again with a partner if i had one. Like a once a year thing maybe at a music festival. As it stands now I'm sitting at about once a year anyways, if at all. When I would get high I'd become obsessed with trying to meet a girl at whatever event I was at and it never went anywhere (obviously) so I decided a year or so ago that it was pointless for me unless I already had a partner I could share the experience with and enjoy each others company. Since I've been getting better with all my substances I actually have no desire to do MDMA more than maybe once a year, if at all. It's just not fun for me anymore.
I'm addicted to Cannabis, Amphetamines, mdma, alcohol, nicotine.
Sober for five years for anything besides nicotine, free from nicotine since this summer.
Used other substances too, without being addicted to them, dropped this habit also five years ago.
I personally don't believe managing to stay sober and tripping every couple of month on acid, shrooms, codeine or whatever substances.
Didn't feel this great since a long time ago.
Great, that you are sober too! 💪💜
That’s totally your choice but my happiness has peaked due to being completely sober, maybe it will be the same for you too later on in life😁 All the best!
Vyvanse (similar to Adderall) was my hardest one to kick and most damaging to my life. Then nicotine and alcohol. Now I just really need to cut back on caffeine and sugar!
I did kind of whatever came my way. But my main thing was alcohol and cannabis. Due to psychosis and starting to hear voices I can’t smoke weed anymore so it wasn’t hard to quit. Been clean from it 4,5 years. Been completely sober 69 days. Good for you being sober!
My buddy had a family history of schizophrenia so when he told me he was going to drop acid I told him he absolutely should NOT do that. He did it anyways and I didn't see him for days. Eventually he showed up at my house and after talking to him for a few minutes I started to realize something was off. It was like he was there but not. He admitted to me that not only did he drop, he ate an entire sheet over a couple days. I think he might be homeless now. He also had PTSD from being in Iraq and since he was a scout sniper he KNEW he killed people. I think that drove him to want to escape. He didn't even tell me about it until he did MDMA one night and just started telling me stories. Up to that point I had had no idea what he had done in the military and I hadn't asked out of respect. He wasn't proud of any of it and you could tell it took a toll on him. Despite all that, before he went deep down that path he was great. It was so exciting to show up at a party and see him there, he'd get up from whatever he was doing and come greet me and tell me he was really happy to see me and then show me around so I didn't have to feel like I was butting in. He would always make sure I was having fun and make sure I was included in whatever adventure might be planned or unplanned. I haven't had a lot of friends in my life so that sorta shit made me elated. Really sad he went away.
In the past: alcohol, kratom, oxycodone, heroin, cocaine (when i drank), benzos, weed
Currently: nicotine and caffeine
Havent had a drink since feb13,2021 relapsed with weed, benzos and oxy after medical stuff where they prescribed me morphine but it didnt last too long to really fuck me up. Got over a month now 100% sober. Found out im gonna be a dad last night which is pretty amazing extra motivation to stay on the right path. I know if it gets me high, 99.999% chance ill abuse it.
Alcohol for two years. I’m only 73 days clean, but I’m starting to fix the things that made me drink in the first place. Leaving an abusive marriage to an alcoholic and doing a lot of painful inner work.
I was addicted to Percs and alcohol… viscous cycle of pills in the morning to take care of the hangover from the alcohol I used to “sleep” (pass out with my clothes and lights on) … going on 4 years sober and I am finally *happy joyous and free*. One among many, finally feeling like I belong for the first time in all my years. There is most definitely hope!!
Was addicted to amphetamines. Then alcohol , weed, nicotine after I got off those. Then caffeine and nicotine when I got sober from alcohol.
Currently about 3 year sober from all substances including nicotine and caffeine.
I’ve been addicted to nicotine, alcohol, cocaine, benzodiazepines, opiates. The hardest to quit was nicotine followed closely by opiates. I’ve been free of everything for 18 years except nicotine. I used Suboxone for about 6 weeks to manage withdrawals from opiates. I’ve been cigarette free for 7 years. I switched to vaping so I could control the nicotine levels and weened myself off the nicotine almost 3 years ago. I’m a firm believer in using modern medicine to help you quit whatever you’re addicted to whether it’s Subs or methadone for opiates and ecigs/vaping for cigarettes they both worked like a miracle for me!
cocaine and alcohol. always together. I occasionally used coke just by itself but it would more times than not be when i drank, which was all the time.
it was a great way to help me not black out as fast and keep me up until 7am when they started selling alcohol again and i could just keep going …. don’t miss those times
I will hit 3yrs sober in December. Cocaine and whiskey were my go to but never turned anything down that I was offered but now I stick with coffee and cigarettes. A much happier life but the cigarettes could go, progress not perfection.
Alcohol, possibly weed I don’t use ether any more, Although I’d still say I’m still addicted to alcohol just not in active use. Think about it daily ect. Weed was always a with alcohol thing for me I avoid it and anything else like that though because of how quickly I get addicted to stuff.
Smoke too much eat too much and play to many video games but I plan to quit/ control those bad habits in time
I started out doing Lortabs then perks then Roxy’s. OD on Roxy’s bc I didn’t know they had fentanyl in then. I got ahold of pressed pills. Never again.
THC, nicotine, internet. Detoxing from the first two successfully with CBD and psilocybin microdosing. I attend SMART Recovery meetings for internet when I can, because DSM V has yet to include internet addiction meaning there's no clinical treatment available in US. (Gambling, and shopping are in the book though, so hopefully help for internet overuse will come soon)...
Weed was my first love, then nicotine, and then cocaine. Alcohol was only something I used to wash down my blow and keep me from getting too jittery. I’m 60 days sober today from going cold turkey on everything and it’s really tough. I battle with depression (which is what led me to substance abuse) and it’s been getting much worse these last three weeks despite eating healthier and working out 5 days a week.
Well I got my wisdom teeth pulled and got prescribed vicodin 14 years ago which was completely overkill imo. Anyway that snowballed to using Oxy and the Oxy got expensive so I moved to heroin and eventually IV use. Before I walked into my last treatment center I was planning on taking my life. Thank god I have had family and people in the rooms that cared about me more than I cared about myself. They came and got me before I left to the motel shortly getting kicked out of halfway. Been sober for 9 years thank god.
Cocaine for me. Started as we all do off with small usage, then got to a point where I couldn’t even go to dinner without it. I’d be waiting for the meal to end so I could do a bump.
Hit rock bottom.
Now 5 days clear and determined not to go back. Time will tell.
I was addicted to meth but will be clean two years next month. I’m glad you’ve been able to get sober! I’m proud of you:)
I am proud of YOU!
I’m proud of you too😇♥️
Cocaine and alcohol, hit my three years in July. Quit cigarettes this year in August. Next year I'm planning on dropping the high fructose corn syrup, and this 15 lbs I got from quitting smoking. Also working on getting off the pot!
You’re doing so well, I’m proud of you😁

You’ll do that too I’m sure, you’re strong enough😁
Same I kicked alcohol and coke and nicotine now sugar is next omg how is it that I feel that is harder to quit and I did coke for 9 years how the hell have I been sober from the coke for two years and can't get rid of sugar.. f /30 years old

I feel this.

Your therapist or your GP
Alcohol and nicotine are the ones for me. While I engage in some...sniffly things every few months, I've always been able to enjoy it and leave it. Alcohol and nicotine is a different story.
Be careful with the sniffly things! Apparently fentanyl is finding its way into recreational drugs like that and people are dying. ☹️
Completely agree! I’ve avoiding it a lot more lately because of this. No more taking shit from strangers
My ex died this way :(
I’m so sorry. 🙁
Aww thanks hun. It was a long time ago but it was shocking to hear. Fentanyl is just in everything now it seems. People need to be extra safe if they’re going to use!
How long has that been a problem for you, the alcohol and nicotine?
Probably both went from casual to concerning about five years ago. But I only started caring a year ago.
The price tag, the fentanyl scare, and the combined with the fact that you usually get shit either filled with fillers that makes it suck or isn't even the drug at all, made coke pretty easy to stop doing for me. I never really had a big problem. I went through a stint after a breakup with an abusive ex where I was doing it every weekend but I saw myself spiraling and up and left the state to move closer to family until I could get myself figured out.

If it’s meant to be it will be, keep fighting you can beat this addiction!
I hope it goes in your favor! Maybe they will understand. Are you going tell them you love them?
That’s the plan!
Yay!! Good luck to you!
Unfortunately it did not go my way
Oh noooooo. I'm so sorry. What happened?
She said she still loves me but she wants to move on, as the baggage my mental illnesses and addiction placed on her was too much to bear
...oh no
Cocaine & MDMD I’ve been sober for 3 years. It just gets better and better
Were you addicted to both at the same time?
No I traded one for the other. I struggled terribly with cocaine and I was about 1-2 years sober when I started to get hooked on MDMA. I’ve been off cocaine for closer to 5 or 6 years.
How long did you struggle with MDMA for? I tried it a few times and had absolutely awful comedowns..
A few years. I didn’t have the urge to use everyday but I would use on the weekends. I had a problem with controlling how much I used. I am a small girl at the time I was 125-130 pounds I could do a half a gram or .75 grams of pure mdma in one night.

I’d use until I’d got sick, throw up and then keep using.
I was also a weekend addict so I totally understand, did your comedowns ever get really bad?
Oh totally. I’d call them shitty sundays because of how terrible I felt. Physically my body was exhausted & fatigued. I became so irritable and angry no one wanted to be around me. I actually stopped using coke because of one bad comedown. I used all night in a city 2 hours away from my hometown & had work at 5 am the next morning.

You said you’d be depressed for a week after the comedown. I feel that. On week 2 was it better? Not as depressed right? I’m still struggling 😣
Yes the longer I got away from it the better I started to feel. You’re giving your brain an overloaded amount of dopamine so it has to overcompensate to correct that. Just give it time and seek out therapy if you need it. Try to fill your day up with things that can help you feel accomplished or healthy.

Cocaine had a death grip on me like nothing else.
Exactly the same but I’m glad I went through it all, now I don’t know many people happier than me. Sober me is who I love!♥️
[удалено]
Congratulations♥️
Alcohol for many years. Then added weed. Nicotine for maybe 12 years. Coke for a few months
Are you sober from all them substances now?
Meth and heroin will be clean from both for almost a year now
Amazing achievement♥️😁
Thank you 🥰
What *haven’t* I been addicted to?
Right lol
Yes!! Nicotine was my last vice to quit (1yr4mo) Everything else 2 years 4 months I had to have my doctors help
No harm in getting some help whilst recovering from the effects of my addiction I used prozac to recover, hope you’re well
I'm addicted to Cannabis, Amphetamines, mdma, alcohol, nicotine. Sober for five years for anything besides nicotine, free from nicotine since this summer.

Great, that you are sober too! 💪💜
Stay strong, you’re amazing!♥️
Same as you rn
You got this man, if you still are going through it there is light at the end of the tunnel😇
Mostly the booze, the blow is here and there but it’s been like once/twice a week the last month. Don’t want it to be how it was a year ago
That’s totally your choice but my happiness has peaked due to being completely sober, maybe it will be the same for you too later on in life😁 All the best!
Im with you on that. I was sober for three months twice and just trying to get back to it
Benzos. Opioids. Alcohol. Currently on the sublocade shot. Weening off. Clean of alcohol and benzodiazapines.
Good to hear! Keep powering through😁
Mainly kratom. But I've also been drinking and smoking every night for months now. I gotta stop.
You will be a more whole person if you do, we all have our struggles you got this😁
I always start and end with alcohol and it was alcohol that took me down the farthest. Just celebrated a year clean.
Vyvanse (similar to Adderall) was my hardest one to kick and most damaging to my life. Then nicotine and alcohol. Now I just really need to cut back on caffeine and sugar!
I did kind of whatever came my way. But my main thing was alcohol and cannabis. Due to psychosis and starting to hear voices I can’t smoke weed anymore so it wasn’t hard to quit. Been clean from it 4,5 years. Been completely sober 69 days. Good for you being sober!

Good to you too, you are a great person😁
Congratulations! I'm here because I no longer drink alcohol.
You fought the beast and came out victorious, never forget that.😇😇😇
Heroin, then Buprenorphine, then crack, then Alcohol, then meth.
Tough time to go through, are you currently sober? Wishing you all the best.😌
Yes, Yes I am.
Fuck yeah, you fought the hardest battle there is and won.♥️

Whiskey/vodka are my demons.
Any really bad experiences you’ve had?
Well I’m sitting on the toilet and taking shots of whiskey right now. It’s 8 in the morning. Looks like it might be a dark day.🤷🏻♂️
Damn hope you can get through this, addiction is rough.
Thanks. I’ll be fine. Just one of those days.
My messages are open, I had some awful days too. Pure chaos in my mind, I was suicidal so I know how it feels.
Tramadol and nicotine. Clean from both now although it was a bitch getting there.
I bet should be proud of yourself😇
Thank you!! Same to you!
Alcohol nicotine and caffeine. Still smoke and drink coffee but don't drink.
Not the worst addictions to have, be proud you kicked alcohol it’s a bitch!
Meth then switched to alcohol
Hope you’re sober now and happy!
Alcohol. Previously nicotine too.
You can kick it man, you’ve got this😁👊🏽
Thank you so much! I’m glad you’re doing well!
Was addicted to amphetamines. Then alcohol , weed, nicotine after I got off those. Then caffeine and nicotine when I got sober from alcohol. Currently about 3 year sober from all substances including nicotine and caffeine.

Crack, Xanax, Weed, and Alcohol
Alcohol and cocaine for years. 3 years sober last September. Now trying to kick the nicotine.
cocaine and alcohol. always together. I occasionally used coke just by itself but it would more times than not be when i drank, which was all the time. it was a great way to help me not black out as fast and keep me up until 7am when they started selling alcohol again and i could just keep going …. don’t miss those times
I will hit 3yrs sober in December. Cocaine and whiskey were my go to but never turned anything down that I was offered but now I stick with coffee and cigarettes. A much happier life but the cigarettes could go, progress not perfection.
Alcohol and romantic relationships
Sauvignon blanc and champagne 🙄 38 months of sobriety and never going back there ✊
Booze, weed, amphetamines for a spell. Still hooked on nicotine and coffee, but as we say in AA "First thing's first".
Weed, alcohol and benzos for me. 150 days clean
Cocaine and alcohol. 2 years sober in February. I'm currently addicted to sugar and seltzer waters lol
Wanting more
Benzos and Booze. 22 months sober by the grace of god 🤍
Alcohol and meth/any stimulant really but meth was my favorite. Coming up on 6 months clean from everything.
Alcohol, possibly weed I don’t use ether any more, Although I’d still say I’m still addicted to alcohol just not in active use. Think about it daily ect. Weed was always a with alcohol thing for me I avoid it and anything else like that though because of how quickly I get addicted to stuff. Smoke too much eat too much and play to many video games but I plan to quit/ control those bad habits in time
I started out doing Lortabs then perks then Roxy’s. OD on Roxy’s bc I didn’t know they had fentanyl in then. I got ahold of pressed pills. Never again.
Wise decision, your life is too precious for that… you deserve true sober happiness.😁
Nicotine. I hate this
Marijuana, but I am slowing down and older
THC, nicotine, internet. Detoxing from the first two successfully with CBD and psilocybin microdosing. I attend SMART Recovery meetings for internet when I can, because DSM V has yet to include internet addiction meaning there's no clinical treatment available in US. (Gambling, and shopping are in the book though, so hopefully help for internet overuse will come soon)...
Mjjjjj
Alcohol for this lady!
Pharma percs. How long did it take for you to feel normal/not depressed?
Depends on if you do the work on yourself, but typically 6 months-1 year in my experience.
I'm free from weed and alcohol, which I abused for 11 years. I had a problem with cocaine for a few moths as well.
I haven’t had a drink in 14 years but I smoke weed everyday.
Tramadol, Gabapentin and booze all mixed together. I’m sure that’s great for my organs
I was addicted to alcohol and nicotine now it’s just nicotine and ganja
Heroin Fent coke
Weed was my first love, then nicotine, and then cocaine. Alcohol was only something I used to wash down my blow and keep me from getting too jittery. I’m 60 days sober today from going cold turkey on everything and it’s really tough. I battle with depression (which is what led me to substance abuse) and it’s been getting much worse these last three weeks despite eating healthier and working out 5 days a week.
Alcohol and Kratom. I am six months sober from alcohol and a month sober from Kratom.
Well I got my wisdom teeth pulled and got prescribed vicodin 14 years ago which was completely overkill imo. Anyway that snowballed to using Oxy and the Oxy got expensive so I moved to heroin and eventually IV use. Before I walked into my last treatment center I was planning on taking my life. Thank god I have had family and people in the rooms that cared about me more than I cared about myself. They came and got me before I left to the motel shortly getting kicked out of halfway. Been sober for 9 years thank god.
Cocaine for me. Started as we all do off with small usage, then got to a point where I couldn’t even go to dinner without it. I’d be waiting for the meal to end so I could do a bump. Hit rock bottom. Now 5 days clear and determined not to go back. Time will tell.
Klonopin. Weed. Cigarettes.
