I keep busy with gardening, reading… one side effect is my sugar craving is thru the roof and sweat rolls off of me with any little physical activity. I feel better and I keep reaching out…

Yeah I didnt really take into account the fact you can die from doing something stupid on psychs. Yeah I dont wanna glamorize psychs but just share that I was planning on using them to aid with my depression, anxiety, and to learn more about myself and another outlook on life. Im all for responsibly using drugs and harm reduction (ironic because I have oded twice). Good luck with your sobriety, definitely trying to change my life for the better and stop my use for “escaping” reality.

Does your doctor think doing illegal street drugs is good for your mental health? Are you going to be taking them in a controlled setting under supervision of a trained medical professional? Will you have verification from the entire chain of custody of your illegal drugs that there are no impurities or dangerous chemicals laced in? Have you received permission for your local law enforcement professionals to purchase said illegal substances? Have you verified with your local drug dealer that the money you give them won’t be sent in to the black market or used for nefarious purposes? Can you guarantee with 100 certainty that you won’t do something dangerous towards other people while on said illegal drugs?
Unless you can answer yes to every single one of these questions you cannot use drugs safely and without consequences.

Day 4. Rough week. Really bad sleep, shaky, no appetite and work was rough. Appreciate this form and the sharing of how life is so much better in sobriety.

quick tip, when you get through this don’t start to think it’s all under control and have a drink the next day. that’s what happened to me the day after standing at a bar for 3 hours at a funeral, next day I was like that was easy so I’ll have a drink now. What a dick head. Stay focused.

31 days!? That’s awesome! That’s a solid foundation for recovery! I definitely can relate to the mental detox part. I honestly believe that if we don’t take a look inside to treat why we drink, then we end up right where we started. . . Looking for an escape and self medicating. I’m so happy for you @Sweetlillove! Keep fighting this thing! You can do this! 
I’m doing well. . . I’m a couple of days away from 500 days sober. The staying at home thing is definitely taking a toll on my mental well being, but I’m doing okay. I’m ready to go outside and play!

Yeah its illegal so if I get caught with it ig that would be a consequence. I will have a trip sitter whenever I do it for sure though that is educated on drugs and psychs, especially there adverse reactions. I can say for certain I wont hurt anyone else as I’ll be staying at my house with a trip sitter, and maybe after a couple hours if I feel good take a walk outside or something. I could get test kits for it but I know I will do lsd first and people would be losing money if they laced with anything else (and nothing would be active in those small doses as lsd is sold), besides NBOMES and DOC, which there is a saying if its bitter its a spitter because lsd has no taste, and nbome and doc have a distinct bitter and chemical taste. I could think of numerous drugs I have done that I would have answered no to a few or even most of those questions, that I have done without any long term damage AND without consequences.
Ahh the addicts justification. I used to tell myself that heroin wasn’t so bad because it didn’t damage my organs.

From the Talking Sober Rules and Guidelines:
- Rather than posting about using, try to keep your focus on how you want to stop using. This is a sobriety focused site - promoting moderation can negatively impact members’ sobriety.
Presenting psychedelic use as desirable and discussing your plans and intent to do it falls under this rule.
- Do not promote illegal activities.
Psychedelics are controlled substances and illegal almost everywhere with few exceptions, so talking about how you’re going to purchase or use them falls under this rule.
You can have your opinions on psychedelic use, no one is making you change them, but you have to realize that this is an inappropriate place to advocate such activity or discuss your plans to engage in it. If you want to do so, there are more appropriate places on the internet for that.

Life is so much better, the first few days are physically tough but just treat your body with kindness. It deserves it. Lots of rest, water, and simple foods.

I reset. Ugh, I hate admitting that aloud but if I lie to everyone and say it was great and easy than I am doing nobody any good. I struggle to determine if I want to remain sober or get my drinking under control. I surround myself with people that all drink,
Albeit they control themselves. Mine is more when I do drink it is binge drinking and leads to occasional blackouts. I enjoy the social aspect of it, but hate the anxiety it gives me the next day. Last night at the bbq was fun and I had 4 Landshark beers so I was completely in control of myself the whole night. But I also feel like I let myself down since I had even 1 beer at all. I struggle so much trying to answer what I am really wanting to do.
