I found this and thought it would be a good companion to the Tweaker Troubleshooting Guide, further down the blog. 😁😂 Enjoy!
The Tweaker Welcome Letter:
Tips & Tricks for Newbies & 💜
A Refresher for the Rest of Us! 💚
I heard we were getting a new face around here. Nice to meet you. 😁😁

"There's nothing slower than a tweaker in a hurry." -- Keep it in the back of your mind. If it doesn't make sense right now, don't worry, it will soon enough.
Don't sweat the details. (Yes, I just referred to neurochemistry as "the details.") What transmitters get tripped which way after what dosage and to what effect and for how long.....that will all have changed 6 months from now. It's really cool that it's all making sense right now though, right??
Enjoy the productivity while it lasts. But make a point to be cognizant of the point at which you stop being productive. That's your cue that the party is over and it's time to go home.
Sleep no less than every two days whether you want to or think you need to or not. If you can at least get some "downtime" where you're laying in bed reading or something, that would be even better. On that note:
If you start thinking you're hearing things other people claim they can't, or seeing things other people say they don't, I want you to know right up front that it's not them, it's you. Nobody's fucking with you, it's just time for a solid meal and a minimum 7 hours of sleep.
Benzos are your friend. Benedryl will work in a pinch too.
Try to close your eyes for a while every day or they'll dry out. Yeah, seriously. Speaking of:
Drink more water. I know you're not thirsty. Drink some water anyway.
Practice being mindful of time. Just practice being mindful. Consider working on whatever aspect of your life prompted you to consider taking up such a destructive hobby.
Self-awareness is your friend. You can't know that you've changed if you don't know who you started out as. When your friends and fams mention how much you've changed, don't argue. Don't justify. Listen. Acknowledge it. Examine it. Decide whether or not you want to keep it.
Eat something besides sugar and chocolate. I know it sounds good. I really, Really do. But try to eat something that at least pretends to be healthy at least once a day.
Losing weight feels amazing! Trust me, I know...3 years ago I weighed like a hundred pounds more than I do now. The thing is - and this is super important - DON'T let yourself turn into a skeleton. If your friends and fams take notice and say something, it's time to make more of an effort to eat more regularly. Speaking of weight:
If you can't afford weight, you shouldn't be buying any. If you're scraping change together from under your couch cushions to come up with $10 for a point, do yourself a favor, and leave the change where it is. At that point, you're officially a totally derailed train and if didn't kill anyone or otherwise land yourself in prison, then congratulations. It's time to be done now. And one last thing....
No matter where you go on this journey, someone has already been there. Up, down, back, forth, in, out, sideways and upside-down. Whatever you need, ask before you do anything...reckless, dangerous, or downright stupid. Someone will understand. (But I highly recommend doing it from an alt acct. Because prison. Also, judgement. Fuck that shit.) In all likelihood, somebody around here has been in a similar if not identical spot, has had similar if not identical ideas, and as a result now has alternative, likely better, (also likely Harder) Very likely *Smarter* ideas on how to handle that situation or otherwise circumnavigate or deal with the fallout of it. Sorry, my bad, there's one more last thing:
