Addiction is bad. I conquered mine with Cyprivit blood tonic. It adds vitamins to your body and still make u feel high. You should try it

Baba, is this method not akin to replacing one substance of addiction with another minder one?

As a lady I still find it hard not to do kwaya (drugs). Bad influence I guess or maybe because I saw my dad and his cliques doing it so it rub off on me

Been to rehab couple of times, currently taking a counseling class although I haven't attended for like a week...

I find myself doing it although deep down I don't wanna, but it is something


Please if anyone is going through this phase or has passed and overcome kindly share your experience to help conquer this war against drugs and alcohol

Thanks

Addiction is real and deadly

Addiction is real and deadly

The easiest way to kick it is to call on Jesus

You need christ, i have done drugs and many unspeakable vices wih the worst insurrection of the evil nature of the flesh.

This is why I don't do things that are too sweet and exciting for the brain for too long.

Let me just read people's comments.

I'm so sorry OP.I know how it feels fighting an addiction,the temptations which surrounds it.Once in the cycle it is very hard to break free.Credit to you for turning your life around and getting honest about your addiction.I think they have to take away everything cash from you.If you don't see spare cash for the main time,it will increase your chances of quitting but those still Selling this evil stuffs should be hunted down and hung.

FREEMADNESS:
THE BITTER TRUTH.

ur addiction will continue to eat u up, u can't quit just like dat.
rehab doesn't help either.


change ur location look for a nice place where lively people are (not drug fall in love.


reach out to old friends.


hang out more often and ensure d people around u are not Dan kwaya like u.


as it stands now u are suicidal and could die anytime soon.


determination is d key, nobody can safe u.





I have been to several rehab centers in different part of the country. as a matter of fact I spent most of my youthful years there, my family gave up on me, friends started avoiding me I even gave up on myself.

long story short..... I woke up one morning and said to myself "dude u have had enough it's time to wake up Cox u were not born with all dis sh**t".


withdrawal is d hardest part actually Cox I use to wake late at night grasping for breath ( it was d drugs da was making see things dis way)



I was a master in codeine, Rofphynol(Benzodiazepine), pentazocine and promate combo, k2 spice(Colorado), crack, Ice, Molly, crystal meth, e.t.c I was trying out all kinds of drugs.

my dear na only u fit help yourself if u no help yourself u go die like fowl and after months of mourning ur family go move ahead without u u don turn to one SPANNER LOST.









SAVE YOURSELF SO THAT GOD CAN SAVE. YOU
IF YOU DON'T YOU WILL DIE!!!

Thanks for this , we are currently battling with my sister cos she’s addicted to pentazocine injection , she can’t stay a day without it is terrible we don’t know what to do about it , she takes like 20 to 25 a day and the weirdest of it all is that she’s a medical doctor

Candidlady:



I hope it works


Truth is I have given up on God... Like he never hears me..

I once slept in my car somewhere around finance bridge here in Abuja over night... Was so stoned I couldn't drive..


Even God overslept on Sunday and that was why the devil was able to crawl into heaven

The day you realize you can not experience a truly meaningful and satisfying life without your Maker is the day you find inner peace calm and fulfillment. God is everything you need. Try and study the Bible and PRAY to God. Pour out your heart to him and take necessary action.

waywardpikin:


It's ironic that this thread should pop up. I bought a piggy bank on my way home from work today. One pack of Benson is about N550/N600. Anytime I get that uncontrollable urge to smoke a cig, I'll put some money in the kolo. If I can kick the habit and significantly boost my savings at the same time that would be a win. I don already put 1k today.

I dey burn az like this right now..... sometimes I wish I can stop smoking all of a sudden after few days am on my way to get trees

Firstly, I think you need to be realistic in your approach to overcoming addiction. God won't come down from heaven to practically help you. I'm not an atheist, but real problem needs real solution.

That said, you need to put in place effective stopping mechanism. As an initial move, change your social move, and, if possible, temporarily relocate. Then quit social media for a while to physically and digitally isolate yourself.

Afterwards, find something to kill boredom (like playing games, watching movies, driving). It may take like 3 months, but stoppage is assured.

Please, avoid Rehabs. Those things are, by mode of operation, meant for the Oyinbo's.

tommy589:


You see,gambling is not mostly greed of money. Some do it for the thrill,like I do. There is this joy of accomplishment that comes with winning, that's why gamblers continue to bet after losing and some end up as addict

Bro u wanna argue with a former chronic gambler. Lol. O.k let me tell you something. Remove de money attached to the thrill. E.g bet9ja. Whort. Why people don't get addicted to lido. Bcus no money. I stop gambling when I said to my self. "Victor be contented with what you have..

Fear drugs n alcohol they are real addiction. When u feel so uncomfortable when u don't take it.

Well lady,I agree with someone from the previous comment,it's depression and all you need now isn't advice but someone who can create more time for you,someone who can make you forget to eat while having nice time out,someone who would make you realise there is more to life than what you see it as,I was once depressed when I had an heart break 8months ago but I was able to over come cause I came out of my shell,I met people and I made some friends,I began to stay around them and I began to see that life is far more sweeter than thinking about someone who's moved on...so you also can be with people,change your friends,be with people that care about you cause obviously the ones you have doesn't...I'd love to hear more from you tho,you need someone who can listen and be there

Baby you're hurting yourself . I'm here for you, Jesus can save you, he saved me. I believe he'll save you too. I love you too much

This is the only thing I can thank Nigeria for,it is more easier to stay clean in this country compared to the states.
All y'all got here is low end opioids, back in the states you could get coke,crystal meth,heroin,oxy,xanax,crack, fetanyl in your backyard if you wanted to.
Doesn't take much to get hooked on that shit, found myself doing blow like a damn narco, even passed out a couple times they had to call 911 on my ass and haul me just to save me from OD.but now I'm off those hard shit.

I was addicted to porn, for 9yrs, it affected greatly, to stop, i try self-will, i read alot of articles, tried all I could, at times it seems as if am getting over it but I kept falling back.

My breakthrough came when I met the Lord Jesus. Really, life is meaningless without Him.

Really concerned about how you sound concerning God. I'm sure, even if you haven't seen miracle before, you have heard of many, I'm sure, you must have heard of, God's messages through His messengers (prophets, pastor or people of God) how they foretold people, about them or about an event and it comes to pass. let me blow your mind, not everything is fake, God is so real. I have a wonderful relationship with Him. am not talking about religion. Having a relationship with Jesus is different from being religious!

So I advice you, to not speak against God no more, again try not to be speaking against whatever you don't understand.The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom.

knowing and having a real relationship with God through Jesus is the solution to all the problem of man, there is that void in every man that only Jesus can filled. life in Christ Jesus, is a completely new life

I pray God take control of your situation, and set you free! His merciful Heart shall locate you in Jesus mighty name.
But please humble yourself before your God and receive His love for you.


Jeremiah 29:13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.

Zivaharry:
I'm working on how to stop M.t......not addicted anyways, but have to stop it in entirety.

You sound like an addict, if you're not ,you would just stop.

GindoX:
If you don't mind to change environment for somd time.. come stay with me... Addictive ko, I go remove from your head.... But have a mind you really want to change

It's sad seeing ignoramus like you that don't know how serious this shit can get

I thank God for the gift of life for you and the realization that you want to quit every addition My solution to you is simple
1 Pray to God to forgive you all sins and give you a new spirit
2 Totally give you life to Jesus Christ and surrender to body spirit and soul to him
3. Start reading Romans from Chapter 1
3. Burn all things either drug, or tools you have been using for it and cut off relationship from bad friends with influence and tendency to go back to drug
4. Look for Bible believing church close to you and make real believer you friends who will help you not to fall into temptation of addiction again
5 Be determined , be watchful and vigilant not to yield to any temptation again be prayerful and give yourself to fasting and prayer
God will surely give you victory

my dear u re not alone...I've been there nd back nd I know how it feels like...
I battled severe trams addiction for 5 years...throughout my uni days...it wz js terrible....at a point I wz doing 800mg nd above of trams every single day...infact I stopped attending lectures..I do just hole up in my apartment..do trams nd doze all day...
I was acting weird...always agressive...ghosted everyone both family and friends...infact it was just me nd my darling t.m.
Then during dt great lockdown...my biz wz affected... so I holed up at home..then I said 2 myself.."I've had enough of this drug shit"...why not achieve something during ds frustrating lockdown by conquering this addiction demon?...
so I started fighting the demon nd it was a very painful nd long journey back 2 recovery....4 more than 6 months...I felt like dieing...d withdrawal phase was js terrible...d chills..d muscle spasms..d fever..d body pains...d mood swings (extreme highs and lows)..d anxiety... d Restlessness nd worse of em all...d insomnia(sleeplessness)...
so I used Diazepam(Valium) 4 d 1st 6 months 2 help ease d withdrawal symptoms a bit.
Then when I wanted 2 quit Valium after 6 months..I found out dt my system av gotten dependent on it as well...so it was back 2 square one ...Nd to my worst nightmare I found out soon enough dt d withdrawal symptoms of diazepam (benzodiazepines) is even far worse than that of tramadol (opiods)...it was js terrible..better imagined than experienced..
This time around I felt like I was completely loosing it...But lucky me...I discovered that alcohol can also act as a sedative just like diazepam so I used Alcohol for 3 months 2 ease d withdrawal symptoms of diazepam (pls run away 4rm any drug of d benzodiazepine family)....
2 cut d long story short...today I've been drug free for 8 months nd counting now..nd I ant going back 2 dt shit again...
so my dear u can do it.. just believe in urself.. tell urself dt u re stronger than that addiction...then fight d battle of recovery and remember not 2 rush it...Js take it one step at a time...u get closer 2 recovery wit each passing day as ur brain recalibrates itself back 2 it's pre-addiction state..find other hobbies 2 keep ur mind away from d drug(s)...if I can do it dear...then u can do it as well
Shalom....

Shalom.

Addiction is real and deadly

.

I get your frustration very well.
First knowing the problem is the first stage in identifying the solution.
Second you are ready for change but find it difficult to transit away from it.

I will view it from 3 Angeles.
Hormonal composition.
Psychological make up.
Sociological association.

Why don't we talk more about the said drugs.

Then a Japanese concept of maintenance practice will be adopted to this case.

Blue therapy.

Candidlady, what you want is not impossible to achieve and I'm not here to "acquire to Maguire" you. Nature abhors a vacuum (Horror vacui). Before you attempt to break an addiction, you must be ready to replace it with something else.

Addiction can not be instantly broken, however, it can be de-energised. Start by reducing your drug intake and replace it with something else. Something related but not dangerous. Keep on reducing it until your body is no longer dependent. It's a long journey dear but you can do it.

I am not a chronic gambler but made a living out of playing draught for 3years. No form of gambling I have not participated except few I found not exciting

You may not know this,but people do gamble and become addicted to ludo and whot. My own case could be desire to make money from my talents in my younger days and not primarily because of greed

I guess you just googled the withdrawal symptoms online cause tramadol withdrawal doesn’t last more than a week even if you’ve been using it for years. 6 months bawo and trust me I’ll know

THE BITTER TRUTH




90% of pentazocine users are doctors tho I am not but my doctor friend introduced me to it.


it's addiction is out of dis world.


whatever you say or do to her can't make her quit i swear.


she just have to wake up and face reality.


they doctors know the implications and health damages it can cause but will never let go so anything you say to them is meaningless.


my sincere advise is to always rub it on her face that death is not far from her(pls don't say it in a way that will make her feel depressed o)


she will soon start to feel some numbness or paralysis in most of the injected part of her body.


she might end up crippled for life.



rehab can't save her.




JUST WAKE HER UP TO REALITY OR PREPARE FOR HER FUNERAL IF SHE DOESN'T.
