I don't get it either
someone depressed to the point of contemplating suicide, has the courage to post about it and this moron jokes about his drug abuse

Honestly guys when I posted my mental state and life problems here I expected more of this kind of toejame. Instead I got a bunch of private emails that helped me through one of the darkest points in my life.
Thanks for the help guys :) You'll never know how much this community helped me :) :) :)

doh :(
it's sometime hard to understand your (I mean the whole English speaking writer) post I didn't get a so desperated picture of Udie state :(
It's a shame I was unable to understand that :( :(
I hope all will turn good for you Udie ...
straffo (who is sometime completly "à coté de ses pompes"/ to be out of one's mind )

yes it is Straffo, much better this week than last week. The doc overdosed me and that poison is finally out of my system so I can think well again.
AND
I kinda quit smokin pot, didn't want to but it made me sick with the meds. Good thing too because it will be much easier to pick up the pieces that used to be my life with out spending $50-$100 a week on smoke. But that doesn't mean I won't still smoke from time to time ;) Just not for a while, who knows maybe I'll like sobriety though.....

Wtg Udie! (from a guy that knows how tough that can be :))
Eagler, I don't think that was senna's purpose... I take it he was only trying to get a smile out of Udie. not everyone has the same sense of humour you have.... if you have one.

Yes, I have one - just not a childish one
it is my error as I forget I have growths older than many of these bbs posters

Good to hear you're feeling better Udie. One suggestion tho', talk to your doc/shrink/whatever when you find a good one. Even a little pot might not be a good idea. My sister is finally off the pot and on Zoloft and it's done her a world of good. That was the right thing for her and her body chemistry, not sure if the same would apply to you, but it doesn't hurt to ask!

Udie got it, that's what matters anyway..

Udie, sorry to hear that, I must have missed it. I hope you stay clean and best wishes fellow Rook.
Your willpower needs to stay strong. Your a good guy so keep it up.

Dope is for chemo and aids guys;-) You can never trust dope thoghts. I solved the worlds problem last night..simple solution..but i forgot it.
Hang tough, fight hard, love yourself, whether good bad or indifferent. We've all done crap, didnt do good when we should have. Sins of omission and commision are best left to others to judge.

SOB,
I think I'm going to go the non-drug route on the psych thing. After what they put me through last week I don't trust them. The car and the IRS thing helped add to the anxiety but they also helped me clearify in my own mind that I was depressed not because of an imballance (maybe one due to pot - more addictive than I though) but because I haven't been living my life to it's fullest potential. I've put off responsibilities to go and get high instead. It took until I was 33, but it finaly caught up to me and it all happened in 1 week. Everything came unravelled, I never thought it would happen that fast! I'm sure that once I get my life in order I'll be toking again :D It's like beer to me.
The past 2 weeks taught me 2 things.
1. There's only one person on this planet who will take care of me best, ME.
2. Responsibilities come FIRST.
Why it took me to 33 to finally realize that I don't know. But I know it now so I must live life like that or I get depressed/pissed off at myself. Maybe I'm lucky because some people never figure this stuff out. I bet you see a diferent Udie at the con next yer ;)
I'm in negotiations with my old boss in Houston to get my old job back at a $5,000/yr increase in pay from where I'm at now :) I've almost got him talked in to it. With that raise I think I can get the IRS paid off in 10 months! So in a year I can have my life back and be FREE. So until then I can't afford to smokie smokie.
AKSwulfe,
I didn't get it.... If he figured it was a joke I'd like I can deal with that. Some people's sense of humor is diferent from others. But imagine gloating to an admitted alcoholic in the same way.... My quitting was NOT voluntary, though I'm into it now. That doesn't mean that I don't want to go smoke a big fat joint and it doesn't mean that I wouldn't if offered. But I don't apreciate somebody flaunting it, even if it is text. Part of the reason I'm going back to Houston is because my roommate still smokes and he won't share or go into another room to smoke it. That makes me jones BAD and pisses me off even worse. But that's not his problem I guess until I tell him I'm out in a month.....
Senna,
If it was a bad joke I forgive you.....

Well, it appeared you took it well.. with the smiley..
Either way, you need to pick up a hobby or do something... when I had to quit for 6 months, I didn't have any desire to smoke at all. Addicted you are not, your mind is just telling you that you are. You need to do something new to satisfy your mind. (and no, not a new drug ;-)

Well I had alot of fun flying that mission last night. And I was actually using tactics again. Instead of flying like a... a... well a mind numbed idiot :D like I have been for a couple of years now. But I'm going to go join a gym or something once I get back to Houston which hopefully will be within the next 2 months.

keep fighting the good fight sir
a log goes with the current, takes a man to swim against it
I'm sure part of your sleep problem was dope related. If your body was used to being bonged to sleep, it missed it and revolted. Takes a good 2 to 3 weeks to half way blow the junk outa ur system - depending on how heavy u were into it ( oh yeah, I forgot, the experts say it ain't addictive :rolleyes: ). Stay busy, eat right, sweat & stay clean - 6 months you'll be a new Udie
-
IMO, working out is one of the best ways to get your mind off that stuff...
That's exactly what I did when I had to quit, I felt better, had more energy, was a lot more fit, didn't get sick at all.. basically all kinds of benefits and no noticeable negatives.
I definitely recommend working out to you. The first 2 weeks will be the make or break point, that's when you'll be real sore and stuff, so start off slow and build your way up.
Once your in shape, you can do pretty much whatever you want without getting sore for more than a day.
But you can fall out of shape real quick, so you gotta get a work out routine and keep it.
Oh yeah, and chicks will be all like "ooo muscles".. ;)

I could blow smoke up your bellybutton all day with facts and information, but the only thing you believe is your misinformation.
I don't even want to get into it anyway, go with the ignorance Eagler.. "it's bliss".

first hand experience is ignorance eh?
tell me another one quick ....
just because you don't see spiders, get the shakes and puke on ur self- doesn't mean it ain't got ya!

That's not addiction, hate to break it to ya... your mind gets used to it, a lot like taking the aforementioned prescribed drugs.
I mean, if that's the case... anyone who drinks coffee is addicted to caffeine! Anyone who habitually drinks alcohol is addicted!
Addiction is that you can't quit without another intervention, and requires some mental and physical changes on the chemical level... which pot don't do... you can quit pot.. I did it when I had to. I don't do pot when I need to do something else.
That ain't addiction, that's a habit.

Hang tough, fight hard, love yourself,

Habit is something that's done out of reflex, without much thought. Addiction is something that's done willfully and to the exclusion of something else. It is possible to get addicted to coffee, though it takes a bit longer than other addictive consumables.
If you can quit pot, then do. Count the years, not the months or days between tokes. Then claim you weren't addicted.

Udie, IMO just be real with yourself.
You're probably not going to be perfect but that's ok as long as you're headed the right direction and don't do any permanent harm to yourself.
It would obviously be best if you quit completely, immediately... but it doesn't sound like you're there yet, and I understand RL.
Here's hoping you can just forget about pot and get on with what you described about moving on and moving up!
Work on your career, fish, bash baby seals (AH),
whatever... instead !

Well it's been 2 or 3 weeks since I smoked, took 2 hits when I got out of the hostpital but it made me vomit. I still want it, but right now I want to get toejam straight more. This is partialy why I may move back to Houston. It will be harder to get there, I think.
I still don't think I'll quit for good though. Every few years I've quit for 6 months or so, this could be one of those times. But being sober feels better this time......

Just finished 8 miles at 7:12 pace... sore leg, I need new shoes, but other than that the pace was very easy. I have lost nearly 30 lbs since the 4th of July, and I think I am finally catching up after that stress. At 40, these kinds of things are hard on you. ;)
Udie- Not gonna preach. You know what you need to do.

Played a little half court with my grandkids and some of the local court rats.
Yea I put those 8 and 9 year olds in their place. Bringin that weak watermelon into MY PAINT!
cheering for ya Udie.

If you really want to stop smoking that stuff permanently, you will need to work the steps. Also be prepared for serious depression after you stop.

No, that's not true. But I don't want to get into it.

Then "quit forever, then claim you weren't addicted"... yeah I've heard this line before.
Quit doing anything for a long period of time you do regularly and claim you weren't addicted.
It just turns into a long played out joke that I get tried of listening to.
Anyway, I got nothing to prove to you people... I'll keep on doing what I want, it doesn't interfere with my life, and that's all that matters.

Yes, it is much harder to run in heat. I lose about another minute per mile in the fall and winter.
