i am addicted addicted addicted addicted to anything that distracts me. i cannot deal with my own thoughts, memories, emotions. i dont want to think about myself or my life or anything at all related to me.

polysubstance abusing in a room full of coke addicts doing lines n talking abt recovery n sobriety and substance use treatment even tho it def doesn't feel like the vibe lol. very difficult to find people who wanna abuse drugs and talk abt getting sober at the same time. im not trying to pressure anyone I just think abt my sobriety the most when im fucked up tbh. bc I deeply understand why im doing it then specifically lmao. I wish I could go to meetings openly and proudly under the influence and express that thats when im most likely to seek out and engage in treatment. im banking on dual diagnosis anonymous specifically bc im only fucked up bc im so mentally ill and no meds or therapy help me smh. if I cant go to a meeting inebriated how am I expected to show up. I cant get sober to get sober yknow? inspire me while im fucked beyond belief once, and trust me, ill show up slightly more sober next time, and slightly more sober the next. expecting sobriety just to witness what recovery might look like is unfair and not realistic. meet addicts where they're at. you cant meet us in sobriety if we're never invited in before we reach that status quo. where is my hope in getting better when yall reject me before I even start. lmao smh??? help meeee I can only do individual counseling but I wanna do group so I dont feel alone or like im comparing myself to one other severely ill addict whose way different than me. what

there r so many people i know and loved dearly at one point that I hardly talk to anymore. the depression has gotten to a point where I won't talk to people if im not on drugs. I sleep all day, avoid my friends, and blow all my money. why? because I can't regulate my emotions so I either feel hollow or an overwhelming amount of everything at once. either way it's hard to wanna talk to people and drugs r the only thing making me wanna talk to others. without it I feel like I'd let myself waste away with no one around. I think the drugs mightve saved my life. no matter what's fallen apart because of it, I've accomplished more than I can imagine while under the influence. im not sure I ever want to be sober. I might take breaks but I think I need the constant flood of dopamine to make me do anything for myself. the coke and the k make me feel more productive and talkative and less anxious and like im a dead person. I feel alive when im on drugs. I think i need them to live. to function. after all the neurotransmitters i lost to trauma and mental illness, I feel dead without them. I wish I was dead without them. not even in an addiction way (lmao) but I think these narcotics are going to help me more than any psychiatric medication or therapist

Why You Shouldn't Mix Benadryl and Alcohol

Legacy Healing Center’s blog explores critical topics related to substance use, including the dangers of mixing substances like Benadryl and alcohol. Combining these two can have severe, often unexpected consequences, as both are central nervous system depressants. When used together, Benadryl (an antihistamine) and alcohol can amplify each other's sedative effects, leading to extreme drowsiness, dizziness, impaired coordination, and even respiratory issues. These risks are particularly high if used in larger amounts, as the body can struggle to process both substances simultaneously, increasing the chance of overdose.

Our blog sheds light on the potential health risks of this combination, which can impact both physical and mental well-being. Mixing Benadryl and alcohol can impair cognitive functions, lead to memory loss, and heighten the likelihood of dangerous accidents. For those struggling with substance misuse, understanding these risks is essential, as combinations like these can escalate into life-threatening situations.
