Yesterday I decided to smoke some spice and overdose on some meds. I guess I just had a breakdown, especially from losing my dog a week ago. I haven’t smoked for about a year and a half and I decided to smoke spice straight from a bong, took 1200mg of seroquel and 300mg of sertaline… so I was extremely high, and paranoid. I slept mostly all day and have been high mostly all day. I feel like ■■■■ right now, I’m not even mad that I smoked again because it helped me see that I probably wont do drugs again. Well I just wanted to share how crazy today and yesterday has been.
That’s not right to do. You can feel good while high but the breakdown you will regret it for life…
Yeah that wasn’t really wise man. Live and learn dude your still free.

Good. Drugs aren’t worth it. If you want to feel good, then take a walk around the block or buy yourself a milkshake. Your experience did not sound like fun to me. I would rather see the word “definitely” instead of “probably”. Quitting drugs (including alcohol) in 1990 was the best thing I ever did for myself.

Drugs do make you feel good and forget. But as far as the breakdown I doubt I will regret it, it happened, I messed up, but I’ll be alright and it definally wont be a life long regret.
how has quitting alcohol benefited you in the longterm? i am in the midst of coming to terms with quitting alcohol for good. seem to give me erratic moods
i did that with cough syrup alcohol and coke several months ago. i just wanted to get effed up cuz i was fed up with dealing with symptoms. was a horrible idea lost my motor skills for the next day , but i learned my lesson! Now i just try to go for a run or hit a boxing bag if im fed up or journal
I HAD to quit drugs and alcohol. I had a bad addiction to crack for 3 1/2 years and I used to drink quite often too until I joined AA, CA, and NA. But when I followed the 12-step program I needed to quit EVERYTHING. No more pot, alcohol, crack,etc. If I was still drinking I would still be doing stupid stuff like driving drunk, getting drunk and embarrassing myself at parties, hanging out with other people who drink who aren’t the best crowd.
Drugs and alcohol go hand in hand. Everybody I used to know who drank, also did drugs. And by the way alcohol should not be mixed with certain medications.
I have an addictive personality. Whenever I drank the main goal was always to get drunk. Alcoholism runs in my family.I was well on the road to also becoming an alcoholic. Also people with schizophrenia have a higher rate of addiction and alcoholism than the general public. That’s something to keep in mind.
thanks for sharing. that is the same for me addictive personality, if i drink i only get drunk theres no moderation and i never seeing it will be and also runs in the family. so its gotta go.
@ArtIsLife, I’m sorry you were feeling so bad you had to go back to that old habit. But if you found out that it’s really your last time… congratulations.
I’m rooting for you.
Last summer for some weird and unexplainable reason, I took up my old friendship with Dr. Pot. It was very light use … compared to my younger days… even that use last summer was too much.
I got very paranoid and had some very unusually delusions and false memories that the pot didn’t leave my system completely until much later when I almost ended up back in hospital.
I do know now… my high times are over.
I hope you feel better soon.

Spice got me hooked man…like nothing else. Probably the only reason I no longer smoke it is that I moved to an area where it isn’t sold anymore. I still have cravings though…also there were over 50 overdoses on bad spice this summer in the last city I lived in…so that’s got everyone I knew who used it thinking twice about it. Not fatal overdoses of course but stuff like panic attacks and seizures.
I don’t know though…I’m not out of the woods yet as I disassembled my laptop recently in the hopes of getting at the spice flakes I swore slipped underneath my keyboard last year…
Anyway…sometimes it does take going back to old habits to realize we are done with them.
