Bootyshaker back from rehab!! AA,CA

Bootyshaker

New member
Hey guys,

Bootyshaker is back from 2 months rehab. Doing well and learned I am a Alchoholic and drug addict. THerefore I have had to come to the realization I can no longer have a drink or drug.

My question is concerning substitution. It is a well known fact that alchoholics have an addictive personality and will substitute one drug for another.

Since I am no longer drinking or drugging, If I do a cycle will I be just substituting one drug for another? Since I do suffer from OCD, am I a high risk?

Please guys If you have no knowledge in this field, please do not conjure up a ansrew that you have no knowledge about.

Thanks

i was in addiction for years and cleaned up my act about 3 1/2 yrs ago , I think it is up to you and how you think your body will handle it . I can say this you need to have truly decided to close that chapter of the book in your life when it comes to drugs but as far as AS you need to make the call. even if you were substituting i'd rather be using AS getting huge than be caught all strung out on dope again , wouldn't you ? :D

what were you using???

congrat's bootyshaker and welcome back! what were your drugs of choice? how long have you been sober?

although i'm not addicted/recovering i've spent many years trying to help my brother get his act together and have learned as much as i could about the subject. unfortunatly, my brother was unable to stay sober and passed away this winter. sat down behind a restaurant and passed out. the cold did the rest.

as for your question, i can't speak from first hand experecne and hope you don't mind me offering my advice. my brother always told me that i can never understand what an addict goes through unless i've gone through it myself. that being said. . .

i feel that if you are comfortable in your sorbrity, that using gear shouldn't present a problems as far as subsituting. i feel that if you are subsituting one drug for another with the intent to get high, then that will present you with a problems. gear won't make you high or cause any triggers. at least in my opinion. for what it's worth.

good luck and stay sober. i'm sure you have a sponser, however, if you ever need someone to talk you through any though times, about gear, or anything else, hit me up.

good luck and stay sober.
 
Bootyshaker, if you have to ask yourself that question, it's best that you wait at least a year (at the very least) before you put anything into your body other than nourishment.

Good luck bro, I've been in your shoes before.
 
I cleaned up 8 years ago. Best choice I ever made. After being clean then starting some cycles I learned that it can be a substitution. Remeber there is a root cause to adiction mine was selfesteme. When I get in good shape get bigger and leaner and the girls notice me it plays to the selfesteme issue. I would take some time off lift heavy find a sponsor that U can talk to about it and then make a decition after you have put some time under your belt.

And good job and welcome remember AA's doors are allways open
 
Thanks guys,

I did by mistake post 2 times. I did a search before I posted the second time and got no results.

I agree with all of you that choosing to join AA and CA was and will be the best decision of my life.

My drugs of choice were Coke(sniff, no cracksie) and Alchohol. I was not the worst case but I did notice that my life was becoming unmanageable due to the drugs. Therefore needed help.

I am only on step 3 right now. I want to take the steps slow and do them properly. Which is the exact opposite of everything else I have ever started.

I found a good home group for both(CA,AA) and looking forward to life without drinking and drugging.

Did anyone else notice there sex drive increased about 50 fold?


P.S. If anyone is from Canada and are conside4ring treatment. I strongly suggest you give rennescent house a call. Located in toronto on madisaon ave.

The place is great and helps make miracles.

Thanks
