Ok, Now Im really screwing up, whata wrong with me? I know better

[Dezdon]

Hello,
  I am posting once again becuase I have started a new bad habit and want encouragment to get out of this new habit before it bites me.
  As I posted before, I am an oxy addict. I did a taper and went clean for three days but the pain was too much. What this did do is get me back to my prescribed levels and I was having great pain covergae.
  I got curiose about something I had read here over and over in topics.... snorting. Well, I tried it and now I'm up to whiffing 20 mgs a few times a day. i was a "chewer" but stoped that after the taper. Now I seemed obsested with snorting.
  I know better then this. Man, you talk about the power of addiction. I wont say its good result doing this as I do not want to encourage anybody eles.
  Ok, now how do I stop this snorting and get back to oral at the prescribed doses. I feel like a complete idiot. But i know its the addiction taking over again.Why am I so weak when it comes to this drug?
peace

I will have to be honest and tell you that breaking a snorting habit is hard. Very hard. I am sorry you tried it and I am sure you are too now. But, like everything else, it can be done. You can do it. I am sure of it. I don't really know how though....

good luck....

I did the same thing, after reading so much about snorting I decided to try it but luckily I hated it, that yucky tast in my mouth and can't stop swallowing. It's gonna take some willpower to stop and go back to swallowing the whole pill but you can do it! When its time for your next pill just take it and try not to think about how ur gonna take it, just swallow it.
I dunno really hon but that's the best I can do.

Thanks for the fast replies. You folks bring up good points. Twolve, I think your on to something here. I DO like the act of snorting. I like the burn in my sinuses and then the drip. it makes me feel like like I am getting my moneys worth. (im not doing street drugs). I used to be a cyrstal meth addict in the 80s and always snorted. Maybe this is where this all coming from. I hadnt snorted anything since that addiction.
Willpower man, use it!
thanks,

great advice.  seek aftercare.  you really need it.  as a former snorter i can tell you the act of snorting is addictive in its self.  stop it before you are addicted to it.

Hah- that is the drug. we are all weak with it. it is a real S.O.B.

how do you stop snorting? well- just don't do it. or you could break your nose? it is really all up to you. the problem seems to be the pain when you quit?
try just swallowing the pills like you are suppose to and work on a plan for the pain when you quit. of course it will have to be something that is not another drug if you are wanting to be free. because this may be something you will have to deal with for the rest of your life. is it chronic pain? or just from quitting? because you do know that the pain increases when you quit, just to tell your body to take more drugs.

I will tell you this..I believe I increased my oxy dose for the simple fact that i became addicted to snorting. I would already be feeling the oxy but i enjoyed the process of snorting so much that i would just keep going and going..i can honestly say that it was all mind over matter when it came to stopping..so convinve yourself how bad of a habit that is..because it really is..and i think you can do it. snorting will make your w.ds worse because your body becomes used to that extreme rush..so stop now while u can.

I would try just not snorting anymore.  It is all within your control, and if you are feeling like you have no control over yourself, I would get into some kind of counseling or have someone hold on to your pills, to administer them for you.  I am just like you: anything I find that makes me feel good, I'm all about.  I can't help it.  But there is a reason for why people like us can't cope with life without being high.  And I am starting addiction counseling this week to get to the root of that problem.  Until we figure this out, we will continue to have no control over the things we do to get drugs into our system.
