ever since I was around 13 I've had to either use drugs or alcohol to feel normal. I'm now 32 and have had on and off addictions since then. Is there any /x/ way that I can cure this need to be drugged to feel ok?
>>42222046>need to drug myself so i can feel like all the NPCswell looks like you just don't have what it takes to be human in you. just keep on druggin
>>42222046Do you have adhd or anxiety by chance?
>>42222066yes
just quit I had to quit for a temporary health condition, was a big drinker (like beer for breakfast) and the heaviest smoker most hard drug addicts I have befriended and know have ever met. Wasn’t too easy but totally worth it, and not the hardest thing I have ever done. I miss the pain relief and will resume in about six months, maybe. Or maybe not and have a high as a treat sometimes. But it is freeing to know one can. And nice to dream again. I also am anxious but you know what, I just power through (and sometimes panic but have a partner to help).
>>42222071So, you where likely born with a glutamate / gaba inbalance. Google "people born with glutamate hyperexcitability" and work from there. Alcohol and drugs flood your brain with gaba and basically make you feel normal because it's balancing your glutamate back down to what it was supposed to be. I know because I had the same issue. If you want to take the natural approach you can google diet changes you can make, if you want to medicate to balance your levels properly ask your doctor about Acamprosate or Memantinehttps://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3966039/This knowledge will change how we treat addiction in the future, but big pharma is slow to change
>>42222046Getting/feeling high is not bad or wrong per se, but the necessity fucking sucks. It's the worst form of slavery, IMO. First, just quit as >>42222100 said. Cold turkey is not bad for you, raw dog this shit.Then you can use certain methods to "feel high", ways to alter your state of consciousness naturally, in a holy or therapeutic context. Wim Hof is one of them. I can get high as a kite when I fast and meditate deeply for instance. Also, working out is an excellent way of getting high with endorphine. But this is not by all means, NOT for socializing, I guess that's kind of obvious, it's actually useful for you to debunk the need to belong, which is an illusion. But it's incredibly good for you to gradually let go of the compulsion to be drugged. And you will become less and less hylic as you advance. Don't know if this is /x/ but it scratches the /x/ness.
>>42222139>Cold turkey is not bad for you, raw dog this shit.Depending what substance and how long you've been using, cold turkey off alcohol can kill you
>>42222115neat another solution sold for birth traumasop just figure it out yourself, if youre going to reproduce study up on how to break this sadistic cycle
>>42222154humanity is experiencing record numbers of people being born fucked up because of environmental retardation (shit chemicals in your food that your parents feed you when young, microplastics with xenoestrogen in your water, etc). If you live your whole life fucked up because of this you're never going to find peace until you get to the biochemical source of your problem
>>42222165and we're all too far gone, accept that. prevention is the only thing that should matter
>>42222139Sauna too will get your a runners high without the work. There are natural ways to get “high”. Meditate. Breathing. >>42222146first of all, being that alcoholic is rare, most don’t need to drink to not die. if, BIG if, anon is that had, titrate down, not rocket science and not an excuse to not address the issue or stop drinking. some for any other drugs that also have produced a chemical dependency, research and make a plan, follow through and reduce until none. I had to do that with weed which sounds silly but was getting migraines from cold stop until just counted bowls and went down daily until none.
>>42222171Not too far gone, there's non-addictive cheap drugs that can remedy the problem but good luck getting big pharma to reccomend those to people they're non-addictive and actually solve problems, they'd rather get you hooked on benzos. If you ignore this you're feeding into the exact playbook they want you to believe in. Prevention is important of course I'm not saying we could all take a magic pill to fix ourselves, but when research is purposely being ignored because it's not profitable you have to be curious as to why
>>42222182relying on the very system that put you in this position to provide you a fix is being too far gonei understand it takes a very high level of accountability and retrospect to trace back and break free of the reliance but at a certain point it stops being an excuse
>>42222192Just because neuroscience has been twisted and used for evil doesn't mean the very concept of neuroscience is evil. No more then you could say the concept of your body is evil (I have a broken bone, but I'm going to treat it myself, because the fact that bones exist is proof the medical field is evil!) is a retarded argument. It's not an excuse, you're going to live your entire life with a brain that's miswired and could actually be fixed but everyone is going to ignore it because there's no money in fixing it and retards like you say shit like you just said. Thanks for reminding me why it's hopeless to try to get this information out there. Oh well, at least I've fixed my own problem I guess, not much hope for helping others with what I know sadly if your comments are any indication
>>42222115Don't dismiss this anon, even if you think you don't match all the symptoms. There are many biological causes to constant anxiety that doesn't respond to any of the normal (psychological) therapeutic approaches.
>>42222204I hope you know youre only affirming meI put it bluntly because you alluded to asking the proper questionsHowever your continued reliance is only going to reinforce it through the next generationAt this stage the personal and intrinsic is beyond irrelevant
>>42222226>extrinsic
>>42222226>There is a cure for chemical imbalances people are being born with>Both big pharma and normal people are ignorant to it for opposing reasonings >Pointing out any of this makes people irrationally angry for no reason >I live in a recovery home and work with people recovering from addiction and see the pain it causes them and their families >I must live the rest of my life knowing I know how to properly fix addiction but no one will listen You have no idea the suffering God has decided I must endure
>>42222243Youre in the right spot to notice the ever growing flow and dont attempt to scour towards prevention?Bandaids are not a solution, youre only helping them become to best consumer they can be
>>42222248There is non addictive medication that is not life long and only needs to be taken for a few months. Any treatment that doesn't not address neurochemical imbalances is a band aid
>>42222248You really want me to tell people "Just don't drink lol" when they remember what it is like to feel normal, and don't understand what is happening to them? Don't understand why some people never get addicted and others do? The best prevention is fixing the problem at the source
>>42222263>fixing the problem at the sourceWhich brings us back to studying up on how to break the sadistic cycle that begins after the pregnancy test pops positiveBrilliant
>>42222267Okay please enlighten me with your theory. Do you have any advice on how someone should mange living their entire life with a brain producing too much glutamate that will make them feel anxious, bi-polar, experience ADHD like symptoms, is temporarily relived by alcohol and drug use, and could easily be fixed by a short term non-addictive medication? Since you seem to have found the cure on your own I'm really excited to hear
>>42222274Look I agree with you, its very obvious you wish to do well but are trapped between the two walls you mentioned, people and the system. Im not deliberately attacking your position or theory, only the defense of reclaiming the peoples place of a cog. There is no getting through to the people without breaking their reliance which isnt possible without frying the circuits by timing the proper questionsVeneration found me will, the ones who came before us accomplished far more with much less, we carry the same genes leaving us with 0 excuses. To attempt to even look at them would be akin to shitting down their throatsExperiences gave me the ability to trace back all of the wayward early childhood memories which drove me down the path I did, took time due to 4 of them intertwining and contradicting eachother every step of the wayFood may have played a factor, heirloom crops planted in natural compost and limiting fluids to glacier runoff and rainwaterThere was no wish to get better only a belief that I was the sole cause
>>42222046Learn to accept the fact that you don't need it and it won't need you.
>>42222046It’s getting easier to quit because we’re entering an area of the galaxy with more cosmic rays emitting from the galactic center
>>42222046Just vape weed and take zyn pouches like a zoomer.
>>42222046Ibogaine cures most addictions but it’s a rough ride
>>42222046Same except mostly alcohol.I don't drink unsafe amounts, limited 1-3 a day. But the fact that I do this almost every day without fail and can't take one day off is concerning.
>>42222436Really?
>>42222115Good info anon
>>42226827Ive noticed a large wave of people awakening since november, I saw glimpses in march of last year too
>>42222046Hypnosis.
