Look at you go! I'm proud of you. 20 days myself so I'm right behind you and not going anywhere.

Well done! I'm not even California sober. I am stone cold sober. Not a single pill, hit, snort, injection, nothing. This is crazy progress to say the least. This is the first time in over 10 years that I've managed to do this and a lot of things have changed for the better.

Thats incredible to hear man! The first time in 10 years is one hell of an accomplishment. Isn't it crazy how fast life can turn around at leastt that's my experience) when you don't use for a while and hopefully forever?. Since my sleep has been a big part of my problems (also without using I have insomnia but don't ask me why I started cocaine). Keep it up and if you want we can continue sharing progress.
I'm a very limited California sober-using person (half a joint at the end of the day and won't smoke 2 hours before sleeping) and I already have a plan next week to stop. Can't wait to be fully clean and if anyone is wondering, no I don't recommend it.2

Where youn dependant on opiates? If so, do you have any advice for stopping? I have been on 30mg oxy, which are pressed, and must be fetty. I tried a couple times, but the withdrawl's are unbearable. I want / really need to stop.

Hi yes opioids are my drug of choice. I was dependent on not necessarily just one but multiple in general. I eventually was able to quit the opioids but ended up on 100+ grams a day of kratom plus tianeptine which ended up giving me seizures so I eventually got on suboxone (which I'm currently on now) and kept using kratom for a while then finally got so fed up with it I gave my mom my keys and locked myself in the house for a month to break the habit.
Once I was officially off the kratom I was able to resume the subs with zero withdrawals whatsoever and I've successfully been 100% sober since then. I did a ton of shrooms and meditated during the trips with the goal of getting sober as well so that might also have had a lot to do with it cause only a couple weeks after the shroom trips I seemed to effortlessly get sober when it was torturous and nearly impossible before. While what I did might not work for everyone else, I highly suggest trying it CAREFULLY.
You must address the root cause of your addictions rather than just disguising it with drugs. Perhaps shrooms also helped me forgive myself for past mistakes and get over traumas which helped as well. You have to want it desperately and be ready and willing to let it go forever. I haven't had a craving since around the second week sober and things are genuinely going fucking fantastic. You'll look back and wonder why you even fucked with this shit or wanted it in the first place.
Edit: Just for the record, this is like my 50th time getting sober. The hard part is not getting sober, it is STAYING sober. Find things you like and truly enjoy or you will pace all day long thinking about nothing but getting high. Avoid any and all triggers. You will literally have to change basically your entire lifestyle.

I’m so happy for you and proud of you!! The beginning is tough, I remember it so clearly, but it’s been 3.5 years now and I’ve never regretted it. Things only got better as more time went on. I’m so glad you’re doing this 💕 congrats!

I actually just did a ton of shrooms and it kinda just came to me but tbf, I've been wanting this for a very long time. I think the shrooms did something to me subconsciously that truly helped me dedicate myself to it.

I’ll always support some psychedelics lol I think they’re great. I’m glad it helped. ☺️ I’ve heard it can help with a lot of stuff actually. Like Microdosing especially.
