The problem with drugs...

[MikelArteta]

like @Retired says its all in your mind, your not popeye and this isn't limitless where you need some drugs to bring out talent because you already have it.

I can relate to you breh, im 31 and shyt was catching up with me too

Dont go back to drugs. Try new hobbies like working out and yoga. Learn breathing techniques to help you stay calm

Im struggling with liking my new identity too, but you have alot to be proud of breh. Your still here and addictions are like handcuffs. Your free, just try to enjoy life and appreciate the little things

Thanks for you comment. I really wanted to hear from somebody in the same situation. I've actually used breathing exercises in the past, but they don't work as well as they used to. I'm super into mediating (my psychiatrist turned me on to it). I've been trying. But, when does it get better? shyt sucks now

Time to reboot your brain.... diet and exercise is so cliche but so real..... also, make some new associates..... that would be a start... and look into nootropics as well....

Yeah, I've tried diet and exercise, but I could try harder. I think the big thing, though, is making new associates. Everybody drinks (which I had a problem with and can't drink anymore). How do you make sober associates?

That sound right, in theory, but I don't know how to "think" that way. I guess it'll come in time?

This is positive. Thanks for saying it. What do you mean by, new routine? I'm not really sure how to do that. I'm so broken now. Maybe it takes time?

I dunno breh, I kinda want to get back to drugs. It's not healthy, but I hate my life now....:sigh:

What do you suggest?

A support system for starters. You mentioned Gucci... His girl was his support system. You can draw strength from someone like that. Someone you can talk to when you feel like falling back on old habits. I can't stress working out enough... It helps your mental state and can give you a high of sorts.

Don't fall back on old habits or be around people that are part of your past or you wont get passed it. Being creative however takes inspiration, just try to enjoy life don't force it and you will find that energy comes back to you eventually. You won't change until you accept that there's no going back and the past is the past. Drugs never made you fam. All you are feeling now is everything you block out when you are on drugs. You are unhappy about parts of your life that you want to escape the drugs aren't making you happy they are just blocking shyt out. Confront those issues whatever they are head on and there wont be a need for escapism.

What kind of artist are you?

You probably already know this but know is the time to hit the reset button.

If you love creating, then that desire will never stop. You’re in charge of your own energy and what makes you happy. Dig back into your creative roots, set goals, change your circle, change your perspective, meditate (for your anxiety), set aside time to create something new everyday.

I'm an author, poet, and occasional pianist. I hope I can bring the desire back...

This sounds like good advice. I will contemplate it. Thanks

Hahaha. Just use the internet, on some bitcoin shyt

But for real man, I hate my situation now. I just wanna get back to my old self. I dunno if that's possible

If you don't get high off watching your health/ financial status improve then try to find a really cool chick and smoke a lil grass with her... all that other shyt is temporary relief with immense physical consequences

I withdrew from opioids in my bedroom at my parents house 5 years ago. I sold oxy 40s and began to dabble. Physical dependency was the scariest thing I've ever experienced. Please don't look back bro

How do you make sober associates?

Can't lie.. that's going to be tough..... try meetups... it sounds corny.... but it worked for this chick I know who was a high functioning addict..... she's passionate about a few subjects and gets a rush just talking about them in those meetups.... there should be site where you can sign up....... and there should be a bunch of topics or groups to choose from...

Man, I'm fukked up, and "good" women don't wanna be around me. I seem to only be attracted to girls that are fukked up. It seems that only fukked up girls are attracted to me too. I think I really need a girl that is also in "recovery."

Also, I'm a big fan of weed. But it isn't like doing benzos, opiates, coke, etc

I have a friend that's in the music industry going thru this

You might be surprised how much getting through some shyt like this will unlock a new level or creativity. Hardships often inspire in themselves because they give you a story to tell.. Work on self for now and I guarantee you the creative side will peak again once you get passed this shyt.

Thanks breh. When I was doing opiates in my early 20s I had to get detoxed off that shyt. That withdrawal is terrible, but I feel that benzo withdrawal is worse...
