Ordovician User ID: 77288758 Japan 02/27/2020 06:52 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Great post OP. Depends on the addiction though...some substances require serious lockdown detox or tapering...you can’t quit a heavy benzo habit cold turkey or you might die...first you need the willpower to quit then you cement it with mindful attitudes once you stop puking and sweating. |

Quoting: Ordovician Depends on the addiction though...some substances require serious lockdown detox or tapering...you can’t quit a heavy benzo habit cold turkey or you might die...first you need the willpower to quit then you cement it with mindful attitudes once you stop puking and sweating. I absolutely agree with you friend. Certain substances need to be managed in a way that slowly as you put it, tapers the individual off said substance. Alcohol / benzo users need to be monitored and slowly tapered off the substance in order to not experience complications due to the possible negative side effects of withdrawal. Having experienced first hand all of the above I can honestly state the obvious, "It's not fun". Having said this now & having come back from the dead so to speak... If I can do it you can do it too!! Anything & everything is possible!! You just need to give it your all!! You Are Worth It!!! |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 78497651 United States 02/28/2020 02:05 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | good post, op. accepting the discomfort is key. the discomfort of not having your addiction pushes you to it, you give into it to rid yourself of that discomfort anxiety. so when u get that "feeling" you have to sit in it, wait it out, understand what it is. most people dont care and choose to just smoothe that feeling away with booze, drugs, gambling, etc. |
