They say that calling yourself "addicted" is a self-fulfilling prophecy

2) eliminated hunger (allowing me to lose weight very easily)

The whole situation reminds me of a girl I knew who started smoking to stay thin because it made her puke....then she became addicted to nicotine.

---

Eight months ago I dosed 600mg for the first time. I was amazed, I started using every day. I binged and binged and my behavior became extremely bizarre.

---

---

I don't regret doing it because we're still engaged, he is my soulmate, but he is also in a christian rehab center

---

And sorry to say I laughed hard at the prospect of a christian rehab center.

---

I have problems urinating,

---

---

I was put on SSRIs a few weeks ago because I thought the idea of serotonin syndrome (which I have experienced mildly before) would deter me from using anymore.

---

---

A few days ago I took 900mg and nearly died. I could barely see, I couldn't remember anything (even my long term memory was nonexistent)

---

---

And I also realized I haven't been happy since I stopped believing in God 7 years or so ago. I'm going to start attending church.

---

---

I know a lot of you will say I'm weak because I need God to stop especially since dxm's physical addictiveness has yet to be determined. The thing is, without Him, I have no reason to stop.

---

Even more so, what would god care about you using drugs? If your only reason to not use is "Him" then I don't know what to tell you. All in all it doesn't sound very christian like to use god for your own means.

Actually, that sounds very christian like.  

---

And on top of this, all my friends use drugs and are atheists and I'm terrified of how they're going to take this.

---

---

Also I am embarrassed to post this but I think by putting it on here it might encourage me to stick with this...

---

Anyways, best of luck. I've always had trouble with DXM. Every time I use it I end up binging. Now, I can stop and go for months/years with out using so it would appear we are in different boats. It usually gets to the point where I can't do shit and so I stop for a bit. Sometimes a few weeks, others close to two years, but I've never seen how people can dose every day for a consistent time period.

Also something to mention, I don't believe DXM is seriously physically addictive. I could be wrong, however, but if I'm right, then it is more of a psychological problem which can be even harder to treat in my experience. Why I bring this up is because an addiction to dissociatives is a whole other beast entirely.  

And there are my thoughts. It should be noted I am dexing right now so forgive the randomness of my comments. Maybe I shouldn't of said that. Don't really care I guess. Just saw this thread a few days ago and felt like responding eventually so there it is.

You need to stop. I know you can do it. You know you can do it.  

Famous Rapper Pimp-C died of his addiction to syrup. It will kill you if you don't stop. It will also cause sever liver damage.

---

Pro-tip: Promethazine and Codeine aren't the same thing as DXM.

---

Tell me, how do you expect to just go back to magically believing in a god?

---

I probably should've been more clear about this. It wasn't that I necessarily just stopped believing in Him, it's that I forced myself to not think about His existence because I wanted to partake in sinful behavior without having to answer to anyone.

---

Which makes me question the validity all over again. So you are only turning to god to quit using a drug. Isn't that kind of....sad, pathetic, whatever?

---

No, I think it's more that I realized that I need to stop all of my harmful behavior (drugs, promiscuous sex, etc). After realizing that, it occurred to me, "Why deny God then?" I have always believed in God deep inside, I just found it easier to deny Him so that I could do whatever I wanted.

At the same time, believing in God and wanting to follow His word has kept me from going back to the drugs so far.

---

Even more so, what would god care about you using drugs?

---

Scripture says our bodies are temples and we should not do anything to harm them.

Yeah I don't think dxm is very physically addictive. I think the more 'physical' stuff that results from abusing it and then stopping is also connected to the psychological aspect. For example, I've experienced a great deal of anxiety which has caused me to vomit pretty often.

All in all though, I'm doing OK so far.

Lol, FYI, he died from a perscription cough syrup known on the streets as "Purple Drank". It's Promethazine and Codeine mixed in a purple syrup(most notably abused with soda like mountain dew) and has nothing to do with dextromethorphan other then also being a opioid analgesic.

*Also MourningAir , all this GOD aspect of you stopping is very discerning and makes me think your not sober at all. To me, it looks like DXM has really messed with your psyche.

God is YOU and you must realise this is a decision soley based on that, no matter what you truely think, REALITY is what matters.

You say you denied god, but from the looks of it, you did what god would want you to do in the first place and that's being a individual that can make decisions for themself whether it's right or wrong. They say the anti-christ will come back in the form of trickery but when you actually look at what society has become, the anti-christ must have already landed on earth.

Another sheep following the herd is definitely not what 'GOD' would want, that's only what 'GODS' would want(speaking of roman times, 300 anyone?).

Analyse and question everything, doing good should be a given and not preached, after all just about every war has happen because of religion and even most segregation(the recent one being prop 8 which successfully has taken away more rights from people, those being gays getting married(marriage being another failed religious act which has now became a front for a business transaction leading the male into being screwed in the end more times then not). Then even Jesus was killed because of his own views.

(Speaking in general terms mostly since every religion is the same anyways)

Keep up the non-usage if anything! If it works, then I guess something is right.
