I only smoked like 3 packs of cigarettes in my life I quit those after I got a bloody nose ,mucus and my sense of taste went away for a day that was scary.benzodiazepines, alcohol, cigarettes. Used to be hooked on opioids

I have gambled before but only really a couple of times if I went to Ascot or Vegas, or the odd fiver here and there playing Holdem with friends. I prefer penny slots than anything more serious just for fun so it never got a hold of me.Yeah it never really goes. I have a bit of a lid on it now.
The other night I dropped £50 in a fruity because I was bored. I was 50 odd quid up at one point. Just kept going though.
Most days are fine but I have to be so careful. Especially now I have a family.
All addictions are basically the same and you have to want to get off them. And believe it or not gambling can even have a physical effect too. Once you accept you really want to give up its the first step to relief.
But the itch never ever goes away completely.
Thanks Obama.

I guess everything was put into perspective when you had kids, fingers.
I definitely drink too much. Had a bit of rough news this morning so I doubt I'll remember going to bed tonight.
I saw that anxiety first hand with a family memberI have been in A.A for like a year had 2 relapses which is actually not a lot in the alcoholic world.
I quit drinking after an almost 24/7-5 day bender at my local dive bar and other bars.
I also quit when I read the story of how much slash from guns and roses drank and I realized I drank the exact same amount he was also 35 when his heart failed and I was only a few years younger than that.
my withdrawal after that 5 day bender was so bad that I saw blurry for two days and couldn't sleep or eat I also had the worst Anxiety and fear I had ever had in my life for two days.
usually you have to hit several rock bottoms what makes you quit is what is called the "moment of clarity" comedian bobby lee tell his stories of how he quit pills after that moment of clarity.I saw that anxiety first hand with a family member
He is court ordered sobriety right now, but I am not sure how he will do when he is not equating a single drink with jail time.
not sure if he is rock bottom yet, although he should be IMO because he has wasted so much potential and opportunity
Hard to know what to do to help...Really doesn't want my help or advice at all...So currently I just give support and try to not get him pissed, because that immediately turns into blaming me for stuff.
Glad your holding strong Jesus.
Yausually you have to hit several rock bottoms what makes you quit is what is called the "moment of clarity" comedian bobby lee tell his stories of how he quit pills after that moment of clarity.
I don't think I would have quit without that 5 day bender and a withdrawal that felt like it was going to kill me. the damage I have done to my organs could still kill me I am going to the doctor for all sorts of tests. alcohol is brutal on your organs ,xanax might be worse freddo santana died from all sorts of organ failure.
I never went to rehab but a lot of the folks who have give me some of their wisdom from rehab. you have your regualr rock bottoms and what the call a "hard bottom" like homeless alcoholics,paint huffers etc. what ends up killing sone people is that they never hit a hard bottom and just continue to be functional alcoholics hitting regular rock bottoms which is some thing they sometimes can not even recognize was a rock bottom themselves until they are sober.Ya
He does week long benders like you did...I always think it is "rock Bottom"...but that isn't for me to decide obviously.
alcohol and benzos at the same time also
Off benzos now, so at least that is one addiction off the list.
Not disputing but I haven't read that before, I thought Benzos were to STOP you from danger of cold turkey of alcohol etc.I keep reading people saying this and how you can die from it. I have never experienced any withdrawals. I took it for three years 3mg per day and then just quit and felt nothing. When I quit opioids the first week was pure hell
I thought I could manage my pill habit OP guess what...you can'tI think I am going to quit pills this week on my days off. Noticed today I needed one to not be half asleep so that isn't good. Whenever I feel that I take a week or 2 off so the withdrawals don't get out of hand.
anyone else have a pill problem or cigarettes or shooting fentanyl?

Mines even lamer - caffeineYeah I got one of the lamest ones.
I'm a gambling addict
benzo with drawl is supposedly what killed rapper fredo santana the xanax and a few other rappers but he was also messing with "lean" , the three things these rappers are dieng from is xanax,fentanyl laced opiods and lean.I keep reading people saying this and how you can die from it. I have never experienced any withdrawals. I took it for three years 3mg per day and then just quit and felt nothing. When I quit opioids the first week was pure hell
Who can't?I thought I could manage my pill habit OP guess what...you can't

I'm addicted to action and drama at this point. I find myself in the middle of crazy illegal shit just for the fuck of it pretty often. I can't stand being bored. Altho I hear prison is boringYou are not alone.
we’ve all done shit things to feed our desire and addiction.
Growing up and facing the demons is the toughest fight of your life.
and even if you falter along the way.
