Rehabilitated

[Supafly345]

Despite 2 relapse weekends, its been more or less a full year clean, and I'm starting to lose all the weight I put on when I quit!

And I haven't enjoyed a day since. But the happiness of my family is more important.

[Tadao]

Rehab from what? Sounds like Tobacco.

[Supafly345]

I had a pretty sick amphetamine habit, which is probably much easier to quit than tobacco. But still sucks.

[Esuohlim]

From I-Mockery

EDIT: Dammit Supafly you ruined my hilarious joke

[Tadao]

I've done heavy amounts of almost everything and the only ones I can't quit nor have the want to are smoking and drinking. Probably because they are legal and easy to get.

[Supafly345]

I never did heavy amounts except with friends, I treated it as my morning coffee and as my secret cramming tool the night before tests.

[Tadao]

To bad you can't replace the happy yet. Maybe masturbation and ice cream? Preferably together.

[Zomboid]

I just smoke and drink. You're a filthy druggie, supafly!

[MattJack]

chances are you'll never truly get over that addiction, but good luck man.

[MetalMilitia]

Like when Will bought some speed to help cope with school work and basketball practise and then Carlton takes it by accident and ends up in hospital.

Seeing that was enough to keep me on the straight and narrow.

[dirtyxblondexdame]

or when Jesse Spano takes caffeine pills to stay awake and study AND sing.

she was so excited.............and so scared. classic 80's teen tv moment.

[Kitsa]

Amphetamine? You're better off without. Amphetamine is so Andy Warhol...:puke

[McClain]

What form of amphetamine did you use? Abusing prescriptions?

[glowbelly]

meth. guaranteed.

[george]

vivarin

[Tadao]

Meth is great.

[Supafly345]

Its easy to find, reasonably priced, and lasts a while!

[Damn Dirty Hippopotamus]

Hey guys this is my first post and I'd like to say I'm not too fond of meth but hey hey hey hey smoke weed everyday.

[Damn Dirty Hippopotamus]

But seriously dude congrats on being clean.

[kahljorn]

you should try doing pills instead or weed :O

[kahljorn]

or cocaine

did you actually go to a rehab?

[Damn Dirty Hippopotamus]

Pills is stupid and asking for complications. Herb is simple, easy, and there is no reason that it should be illegal.

[kahljorn]

what kind of complications are you some sort of doctor

[Ploxtrot]

Pills is stupid and asking for complications. Herb is simple, easy, and there is no reason that it should be illegal.

what kind of complications are you some sort of doctor
he's saying do weed instead

why would you argue against that

[kahljorn]

because pills are more fun?

and because science is on my side

[Damn Dirty Hippopotamus]

Hey lets take a billion uppers and downers and "Soma Shuffle" our way to the emergency room!

[kahljorn]

hey lets smoke ten thousand bowls of marijuana in an hour and vomit our bronchial passages out into the bong

[Tadao]

Who does drugs for their health? What a fag.

[kahljorn]

nobody even owns a billion pills asshole

[Damn Dirty Hippopotamus]

hey lets smoke ten thousand bowls of marijuana in an hour and vomit our bronchial passages out into the bong

:lol:lol:lol:lol:lol:lol:lol:lol

[pac-man]

D.A.R.E. failed miserably, methinks.

[Damn Dirty Hippopotamus]

DARE educated me on what drugs are. As far as prevention, it crashed and burned.

[Zomboid]

Some of my Jr. High friends and I "failed" DARE for throwing rocks at an old man's house a few blocks away from the school :(. There was like 15 of us and he came out of his house and chased us into the school. Then he grabbed one kid by the collar and pinned him against the wall until the RCMP came :lol

[Tadao]

Were you double dog dared?

This thread got really horrible after that rhino guy showed up.

[Damn Dirty Hippopotamus]

Oh god I know tons of people who are like "I LIKE TO TAKE ADDIES BEFORE CLASS I STAY AWAKE AND I PAY SO MUCH ATTENTION!"

It's always fun to tell them that going to bed at a good time can do the same thing and watch as they try to come up with a reply that doesn't make them sound like a fucking junkie.

[Guitar Woman]

I get 9 hours of sleep every night and I'm probably the worst student who ever lived

explain yourself now, fatty

[Damn Dirty Hippopotamus]

I'm a hippo. I don't go to school.

Your move.

At first I laughed at this, but then I realized how much coffee I drink...

[Damn Dirty Hippopotamus]

Coffee is delicious. You are forgiven.

[DeadKennedys]

I hate weed. It makes people look like this http://sf.metblogs.com/archives/images/2006/08/onionbmimage.jpg


Then they talk about legalization like it's somehow important to our society.
And they start quoting Buddhist shit and act like they've discovered some deep spiritual shit
And they start philosophizing about meaningless shit
And they feel like they have to talk about weed in every class they're in, as if it's something important. I've never seen someone make blogs and bumper stickers and t-shirts about how much they like meth and cigarettes
And they protest and take up gay little pet projects and "raise awareness" and make good issues feel untouchable to the general public. Saving the environment has never sounded uncooler when you think of some unshaven no-deodorant-wearing hippies living at some nasty commune recycling their urine

Oh, and vegans >:

[Kitsa]

I don't know how anyone can take opiates. I fucking hate them. They make me feel like I'm in an elevator going down too fast or like I'm falling forward down a flight of stairs. I'd rather deal with the pain than have that feeling.

[Supafly345]

or cocaine

did you actually go to a rehab?
No, I could never afford something like rehab. Did it all on my own after the stress in my life died down a bit. I tried NA, just for emotional support and stuff, but that place was so fucking pathetic that my tender serotonin-deprived brain couldn't handle it.

[Sacks]

I hate weed.

They also make shitty music, man. Shitty shitty music.

[glowbelly]

hey supafly, do you still drink or do other drugs?

That's not true for all people who smoke weed.

[Tadao]

It was easy for my to quit meth once my dealer went to jail and my new dealer sold weak shit.

[glowbelly]

i imagine this is what i looked like when i told my patient that he didn't want me to do a prostate exam on him.

[ZeldaQueen]

I don't know how anyone can take opiates. I fucking hate them. They make me feel like I'm in an elevator going down too fast or like I'm falling forward down a flight of stairs. I'd rather deal with the pain than have that feeling.
Reminds me of this kid at my college. He told us about how he got into an accident and was given a prescription of Vicodin. He hated how he felt when he took them and so he just didn't take them and sold them to other people after he recovered.

Edit: And congrats on getting clean!

[Tadao]

I have to take massive amounts of opiates to feel anything :(

[ElPila666]

I'm running out of weed so i been thinkin about cuttin my hair and quit my stoner life style for awhile or maybe should go lookin for some more weed :(

[Kitsa]

Where does everyone get all this weed? It seems like it's everywhere but when I was in school there wasn't a single time anyone offered me any ever. And that was around performers who probably did all kinds of illegal shit.

[Fathom Zero]

People think I'm weird because I tell 'em I haven't done anything. I'm not so keen on buying a lot of consumeables. Other people's stuff? Well, I'm not a partying guy. I've said I'm more the camera-man than the actor.

That and I have a serious problem with artificial mood-altering.

[george]

smoking weed is 900x better than drinking.

[pac-man]

smoking weed is 900x better than drinking.

That is a true statement.

[Tadao]

FZ is a mooch

[kahljorn]

i have some weed right now :( it's dense and awesome looking.

also opiates are awesome if you take the right amount over a period of time you don't nod out so much and you're just awake and in a great mood

I tried NA, just for emotional support and stuff, but that place was so fucking pathetic that my tender serotonin-deprived brain couldn't handle it.

I hate how they all act like they are in church ;/

[Supafly345]

hey supafly, do you still drink or do other drugs?That would be cheating! But yes, I drink.

I hate how they all act like they are in church ;/I hated how they suggested that if I stopped coming that it means I was using again.

[glowbelly]

you are using again if you still drink. hate to break it to you, but you aren't sober just because you stopped using your drug of choice.

it's like that scott weiland dude saying that he hasn't used heroin in 6+ years, but he still uses drugs to keep him off heroin.

NA saved my sister's life. i've been to a ton of meetings and i've never felt like i was in church. recovering addicts have a shit ton of good information to pass on to others (addicts and "normal" people alike) and they are totally right. you are using again. you just aren't using meth.

i'm not trying to burst your bubble. i think it's great that you aren't on meth anymore. that shit will kill you fast. just be careful about getting too confident in yourself or else you'll start making excuses as to why you can handle a bump here and there and be back on the wagon before you know it.

[Sacks]

How often do you drink, Supafly? Do you feel like you NEED to drink?

[Dimnos]

I drank for the first time in a long time last night. Now I remember why I quit in the first place. :pukeIll be sticking to the weed a few beers here and there.

[ZeldaQueen]

Where does everyone get all this weed? It seems like it's everywhere but when I was in school there wasn't a single time anyone offered me any ever. And that was around performers who probably did all kinds of illegal shit.
I've noticed that too. I guess you only get sellers if they think you'll buy (hence why I've never been offered any).

In my one class, we were supposed to temporarily take on a different personality (basically act as a different person for the day). One of the girls chose to act as a drug dealer. She later said that all kinds of people tried to buy off of her.

I was a trekkie, but it didn't go so well. First of all, I wasn't obsessive enough about Star Trek and second of all, my friends had zero tolerance for the project (we weren't allowed to tell anyone about the project, so my friends basically threatened me if I didn't knock it off).

[Zomboid]

YOU'RE JUST LOSERS IF NO ONE OFFERED YOU POT! I get asked if I smoke weed and if I know where to "score some drugs" all the time.

ADAM, DON'T LISTEN TO THEM! DRINK ALL YOU WANT :D. Don't do meth though, cause that's pretty dirty.

[Sacks]

People always assume I smoke weed and don't believe me when I tell them otherwise. It's especially annoying in school when I get the hip coolguy teacher who is always like NUDGE NUDGE WINKY WINK.

[Tadao]

Flyguy, the most important thing is to stay happy and alive. Drink if you have the liver, smoke if you have the lungs, and try to stay away from the shit that you can O.D. on.

[Sacks]

..and then Tadao found out about alcohol poisoning.

[glowbelly]

for reals. you can od on anything.

i'm not saying he should stop drinking or doing whatever he wants to do. i'm just saying to not go around telling people he's rehabbed if he's not.

[pac-man]

you can od on anything.


Not weed.

[Grislygus]

Unless you once smoked an entire garbage bag full and passed out because you forgot how to breathe.

[Grislygus]

Newfound Redneck Wisdom Bite number 426, passed onto me by Scottie the Dishwasher, followed by number 427, "Thou shalt not wear a condom"

[Tadao]

..and then Tadao found out about alcohol poisoning.

If you die from that, then you really want to die anyways.

[glowbelly]

Not weed.

yes, you can. just because nobody has done it and died doesn't mean it can't be done. i imagine it's pretty hard to do, but almost any substance taken into the body in excess can cause damage/od/death/whatever you want to call it.

[glowbelly]

ps: alcohol withdrawal has one of the highest mortality rates of any drug withdrawal out there if left untreated so THERE. >:

[Tadao]

pps: meaning they wanted to die

[glowbelly]

yes. chronic alcoholics quit drinking because they want to die.

you win so you can hush up now.

[Tadao]

NOW LET'S HOLD HANDS IN A CIRCLE AND ADMIT THAT WE FAIL IN LIFE WITHOUGHT ACCEPTING GOD!

[kahljorn]

when i had to go to these aa meetings for a while they gave me this dumb aa bible thing or something and from it i learned that pretty much no matter what you do you're an alcoholic

they explained it like if you keep alcohol in your fridge, you're an alcoholic. if you keep alcohol in the open you're an alcoholic. if you hide alcohol you're an alcoholic.
:rolleyes

[Tadao]

Hey Supafly

keep coming back, it works

[RaNkeri]

Guys, I think I'm alcoholic :x

[glowbelly]

wash up first.

[Tadao]

:rolleyes

Don't forget that if you hang out with drinkers, they are not really your friends and you should only hang out with AA members and smoke cigarettes instead.

[kahljorn]

if you drink only around your friends, you're an alcoholic. If you drink by yourself you're an alcoholic.

i dont remember there beings oness to cover both though ;/

[kahljorn]

If you want what we have to offer, and are willing to make the effort to get it, then you are ready to take certain steps. These are the principles that made our recovery possible.
1. We admitted that we were powerless over our addiction, that our lives had become unmanageable.
2. We came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
3. We made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.
4. We made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
5. We admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
6. We were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
7. We humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
8. We made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.
9. We made direct amends to such people wherever possible except when to do so would injure them or others.
10. We continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.
11. We sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.
12. Having had a spiritual awakening as a result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to addicts, and to practise these principles in all our affairs.


;o

[kahljorn]

have you guys ever seen those symbols on t he doors of aa and na places?

it's probably magic

[Tadao]

It probably has to do with trinity and jesus.

[Tadao]

They tried to make me go to rehab but I said

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v253/urbansuicidejunkie/linkedjunk/2008/december/female-chojin-say-no.gif

[Kitsa]

Someone sent me an AA book and I'm not really sure why.

But then I opened it and there was $5 inside, so I was happy about that.

Then I wanted to get rid of the book but didn't put it out at the garage sale because I was afraid people would wonder what it was I was addicted to.

So it went in a goodwill pile with some old clothes.

The end.

[pac-man]

Who sent the book in the first place? Close friend or family? Are you a secretly a lush?

[Kitsa]

I come from a long line of alcoholics, but don't consider myself to be quite their calibre yet.

It was someone preachy who didn't really know me well, and I think it might have been directed at my ex who was a WoW addict.

[pac-man]

Oh... I just imagined the subsequent awkwardness that would result if a family member or friend sent it with complete earnest.

[Kitsa]

Nope, no longer in touch with her. Yeah, my close family knows better.

[executioneer]

you should have used the $5 to buy booze

[MetalMilitia]

And used the book as a beer-mat for all the booze

[spazboy]

you should have used the $5 to buy booze
TOTALLY READ THAT AS YOU SHOULD HAVE USED THE $5 TO BUY BOOBS

HAH! BEST DAMN $5 I EVER SPENT! (JIGGLE JIGGLE JIGGLE)

[Supafly345]

you are using again if you still drink. hate to break it to you, but you aren't sober just because you stopped using your drug of choice.

it's like that scott weiland dude saying that he hasn't used heroin in 6+ years, but he still uses drugs to keep him off heroin.

NA saved my sister's life. i've been to a ton of meetings and i've never felt like i was in church. recovering addicts have a shit ton of good information to pass on to others (addicts and "normal" people alike) and they are totally right. you are using again. you just aren't using meth.

i'm not trying to burst your bubble. i think it's great that you aren't on meth anymore. that shit will kill you fast. just be careful about getting too confident in yourself or else you'll start making excuses as to why you can handle a bump here and there and be back on the wagon before you know it.I knew thats where that question was going to lead. I heard all of that at NA, and some people are so dependant they need absolutes like that to pull through. I'm never going back because I know what I'll do, I know who I am. I MIGHT relapse, but blaming that on me drinking is dumb. NA makes you believe you are as powerless as possible, which in the end, makes it true. Booze is different to me, in fact I had my first drink in over a month for thanksgiving dinner with my family. I wasn't conciously trying not to drink, it just never came up.

I totally used food to replace meth, I ate tons of sugar and carbs to releive the withrawls. Like literally I would feel better after hating myself for an hour by eating a handfull of raisins. That felt way more like using than booze ever has. I know I am still using, but I'm not scared. Completely stopping everything won't make me any less on meth than I was, or make my life any better.

[Sacks]

Was AA just started as a way to shove some God down your throat?

[kahljorn]

that's what i always figured, sack. or i dont know maybe only god can cure alcoholics. one rehab I went to always talked about how you need a SPIRITUAL THOUGHT OR SOMETHING AND EVERYONE HAS ONE AND IT HELPS YOU TO STAVE OFF YOUR ADDICTION or some shit and he asked me what i thought and i was all i dunno. then he was all well you have to think something so i told him tthat i think everything is negative and the world is spiraling down into shit :(

Supafly i think you should just do whatever you want to do and try not to fuck up :(
there's nothing wrong with doing drugs just don't get all caught up ;/ maybe some people can't avoid getting caught up i dont know, but it seems like that is a choice between being something and doing something ;/ everybody has some sort of addiction or hobby or whatever you want to call it so don't let people indoctrinate you into believing that you'll ever be freed from bullshit.

meth is an easy drug to get caught up in though ;o i think part of the reason is how fun it is to smoke it. i love the way it looks when it starts to puddle up and vaporize. But regardless of that i know people who smoked meth everyday and operated completely normally. Probably mostly because they ate and slept while they were on it.

[Tadao]

Flyguy sounds like he has a grip on things, I think most of are just saying things he already believes.

[MetalMilitia]

I remember a few years ago when Supafly (or someone else) posted a picture of himself wearing a tophat at a rakish angle, I thought "that guy will never be a meth-head". Shows how much I know... or don't.

[ZeldaQueen]

It was someone preachy who didn't really know me well, and I think it might have been directed at my ex who was a WoW addict.

That happens a lot on my campus. The kids come up with all of these creative ways to get passbyers to accept God, shun abortion, or whatever it's for.

My favorite was this group that set up a board with a crude human form drawn on it. Thumb tacks were stuck into the drawing. They called me over before I could pass and started to hand me a tack. Because they reached it out to me pointy side first, I thought it was some weird accupuncture thing and started to run away. They assured me they had no intention of sticking me with the tack and instead asked me to find a part of my body that I thought was the most "problematic" (or something like that). Since they were all girls, I figured it was some campaign against girls being encouraged to be anorexic or get plastic surgery or something. After I impaled the board, they then started on some weirdly-bridged speech about how we are all born with bad parts to us and Jesus was sent to rescue us. Having figured out what they were after, I listened politely, gave some reply, said I was late for class, and ran off.

Oh, and I heard somewhere that the guy who invented the 12-step process actually got the process from an ouiji board.

[Supafly345]

I've never worn a top hat. The swelling from all the drugs prevents it.

[Guitar Woman]

Was that the same guy who looked like Alex DeLarge?
