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

Smoking is bad for the health. yeah true that but how come my soul and mental state ain't at peace until I take two sticks of dunhil with a mix of lexotan + dinamogyn

Candidlady:


Can't really place. A finger on what am lacking...

Am not lacking money... Not lacking shelter not lacking food but I still feel empty


You might not get what am trying to pass across

PattyMike:


Not going to lie it’s fucking difficult, was a chain smoker for like what? 8 years. Packs of cigarettes a day, myself and roommate then. It got so bad we’d finish our stash (we buy like food stuff 24 packs in a roll I think) finish it in less than 2 weeks and roam around at 2am looking for mallam kiosk or any bar that’s still open at time time. Started with chesterfield, that one gave us sore throats so we moved to benson switch, fake ones came out and then we moved to dunhill switch. People wonder how a person can smoke two packs a day, let me explain. There are 20 sticks in a pack. When I open my eyes in the morning, I get up to pee, pick my cigarette light up, and then my phone to play around social media and memes and boom I’m 6-8 sticks in already, that shit burns fast asf, 5-6 drags and it’s gone. I brush my teeth, smoke another stick when I’m done brushing, light another one with the almost burnt out stub of cigarette, before I eat and another after I eat. Now I’m going to class or wherever, another two sticks while I prepare. My pack is almost empty now, so I take another one for the road. No matter what activity I do, I always got to smoke, minutes before sex, minutes after sex, eat, even in the toilet. It went on like this for years till I graduated, then it hit me. What triggers it is time, boredom, loneliness, feeling and knowing you’re super cool, classic bad boy/gal image. Then I thought I can be super cool without smoking shii.
I started going out more often, doing stuffs, keeping my mind busy and tried to bring it down to a pack a day. A year I spent to do this, a year to reduce the intake, at a time I was smoking a reduced ten sticks a day. Yeah I’ll stop na so I dey talk, I quit weed years ago, was easier to drop, drugs tm, codeine, Rophynol I wasn’t heavy on this though highest was I think almost 500g of tramadol the pink one two sometimes the white one 400mg a day but my preference was the capsule 120g 4 a day, three in the morning and one more in the evening to bring back the high, gave me the best effect. Those were easy to drop to be honest.

I had to quit smoking when my body told me to STOP! When I smoke even just a stick and sleep, I wake up with a throat filled with slime and spittle. I’d go to the bathroom every morning and literally just throw up slimy shi.t, just that for seconds. I changed brands of cigarette but it stayed the same. Well, last time I smoked was the 14/07/2021. LOL too early yeah I know but for me it’s big progress and I’m proud of it. I take it a day at a time, keep my self busy, my mind busy, work on planning future projects, try not to get really upset and just change environment, friends, identify your triggers and avoid them. I can’t eat well due to the habit but I force myself with little bits of this and that. You’re in Abuja! Holla at me when you can, I’ve got great ideas and projects I’d love to share with you.

AutoChick4U:
Nawa! You heard "abuja" u don get idea and project to share! Abuja men though

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

PattyMike:


Very wrong.
I’m in Ogun state chief, I’m married and a business owner. So, yes ideas and projects haha.

AutoChick4U:
OK I'm interested in business

PattyMike:


See am. Una too like money! It’s for her though, maybe she needs something to occupy her mind, thoughts etc. Something positive and productive, an active participant maybe.
Face your own car business finish first chief.

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 I can't help

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

I am not an expert in this but I said you should relocate to new city if possible to distance from friends and family that influence you. Then look for new hobby like someone suggested. The hobby will distract you from your addiction.

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

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....

waywardpikin:


Dunhil? I'm more of a Benson Switch guy. I'm desperately trying to stop smoking cigarettes but I just can't seem to stay away for too long. I only quit for a full year (2016-2017), then I came back with full force.

What does lexotan + dinamogyn do for you?

I'm more of rohypnol + happy pills dude. Then I love me some Arizona/loud then the occasional colorado to tempt fate. I love my alcohol - gin, whiskey, tequila, black bottles of beer (Legend in particular), etc. Only thing I wish I could stop was the cigarettes.

God help me sha.

Ishilove:

You really are a wayward pikin

donbachi:
dat is the main problem.get out of it and u will see urself not doing the smoking and alcohol things.

I pray the urge for alternative lifestyle, smoking and drinking to die now,and whatever spirit dat is demanding them from u,i curse it to die now ijn.

Pour water in a glass cup and repeat the following;
Dis is just an ordinary water,but now the blood of Jesus.as i drink it,let every urge to smoke and take alcohol die right now.let the blood of Jesus enter into my blood,veins and bone marrow and flush out smoking and drinking out of my entire body system...now and forevermore.ijn.

Before drinking it.plead the blood of Jesus into it 7 times.u can drop a number for futher follow up,if u want.
Shalom.
