Just two

I'm on the internet, a lot, way to much to best honest. I have to be connected in some way. It was driving me bat shit crazy not having a phone when I broke mine.

I masturbate, a lot. However, it's my only form of sexual release since my marriage turned into a sexless one.

don't smoke people, I hear it's bad for you. I don't really think I have any vices. I enjoy things like having some drinks once in a while but I also enjoy not drinking for long periods of time too.

 

[FairyD]

Drinking in the morning before work. I really need to stop. But shit it takes the edge off work. Especially when I'm too much of a coward to quit.

I have been on Xanax XR for at least 2 years. That is how my dose got that high. XR is nice, it does not get you high or interrupt what your doing. It helped me get control of my anxiety. It is still DANGEROUS though. I tried to be tough and not take my meds one day cause I forgot to take them to work with me. At about the 20 hr mark after my last does I got strange leg pains, my skin started going numb and I felt like hell. I left and got my pills. Shit can actually kill you. I would recommend trying to stay on a lower dose of it, tapering off 9 mg takes almost a year in order to be COMPLETELY safe.

Wow, that sounds very rough. You're on the right path though by tapering down. 9mg is a gigantic dose though! The largest xanax dose I've taken was around 4mg and I blacked out from combining it with alcohol (I was an idiot).

I hope things work out for you though.
Addiction is one of the hardest things to overcome.

I don't fight my vices, I fully embrace them.

Try an anti-depressant first. Most if not all SSRIs help with anxiety. Currently on Citalopram/Celexa 20mg and it's worked great with controlling my anxiety and short fuse.

I appreciate the suggestion. I've actually tried couple different SSRIs and they made me feel like a zombie (Paxil). I suspect my anxiety problems are due to my thyroid problems (Hashimoto's) which I haven't treated yet.

I don't know much about Citalopram, though—do you experience any side effects?

Smoking, drugs, procrastination, impulsiveness at times, lying.

I've done at the most 10 milligrams of xanax. It's very strange, I'll take half a bar and somehow wake up the next morning having taken 5 whole bars. No recollection of what I fucking did that night.

How much hydro? I used to be a fiend.

Trying not to choose bad food while building muscle.. I'm pretty good but it's hard when you need to fill a calorie quota.

Also staying up too late.. I live off 6 hours most nights and I really need 8, especially for my progress but find it difficult to sleep early.

I don't understand why masturbation is a vice people need to fight off? lol

Videogames and fatty/oily foods.

That is the worst feeling in the world. Short term memory loss and benzodiazepines go hand in hand, in my experience at least.

I used to smoke, but I stopped with the cigs and now ride that nicotine wave with a constant supply of snus and e-cigs. So, I'm still addicted, but at least I'm dying much slower and no one else has to suffer for my stupidity.

My sleep pattern's gone to fuck as well. I can reset it for a day or two, and I can force an early wake so I'm never late for stuff, but I love the stillness, quiet and find it much easier to relax or focus on work when it's late. The hour after I wake, and whatever time my "mornings" consist of are a complete shambles in my head, but I present to the outside world what by and large appears to be a functioning human.
