Compulsion to snort things- intranasal use becoming an addiction?

[Red_Baran]

Ok from as little as SWIM can remember SWIM has been snorting shit (even though SWIM is fully aware it is bad for SWIM). Even when SWIM knows something cant get SWIM high SWIM may still snort it, when SWIM was younger SWIM snorted Excedrin pm, bc headache powder, paxil and shit like that even though SWIM knew it wasn’t going to do anything


Now that SWIM is a older and can get pills that will get SWIM high when he snorts them. He will still snort shit like valium (diazepam), xanax (alrazolam), hydro/APAP and shit like that that he knows won’t get him any higher and could be possibly very bad for SWIMS noise, he will still snort it.


Has anyone ever heard of this "problem"?

not really, it's just a strange psychological craving, maybe obsessive-compulsive in a way. one way around would be buying a jalneti (sp) vessel and snorting water with a little salt or baking soda in it. You snort from one nostril and then let it out the other nostril. Good for sinus hygiene, and keeps one's nose busy. You just have to learn to relax while doing it. oh and use lukewarm water


take care

SWIM allways prefered the nasal way of ingetion too. His theory is that putting something up your nose is very simbolic and is rooted deep withing the anal stage on the development of human psiche. Don´t get SWIM wrong, SWIMs don´t mean SWIR-B real craving is to stick a finger up his. SWIM means one could actually feel the shit getting in, taste it, has a small rush in some cases, or a burn in others, etc. Also tou can´t compare the image of swalowing a pill to the hrdcore one of snorting a line, pile or whatever. SWIM´s sugestion to SWIR-B is to take teh time to experience his behaviour deeply, watch each step of what you do, take your time, don´t do it as a compusion. Do it slow an meanfull. That would probably help you to do it less, but with more pleasure. Having your nose checked by a doctor would be good, so at least you know what damage you have already done to it.

thats weird i was thinking about this myself the other day i'm glad to
see i'm not the only one. i have been snorting adderall even tho i know
that it doesn't make a difference and probably even makes the effects
shorter. i figure it's just b/c i haven't been able to get any ice and
this makes me feel more like i'm doin that instead of just adderall.
gotta stop tho not so good on the nose as u know

I would definitely have to agree with you it is very symbolic way to use drugs, whenSWIMdoes "a line" of what ever very symbolically not compulsive, also SWIM has only used the right side of his noise even when SWIM was a young kid, the rush (even if its just in SWIMS head) of snorting something is almost a drug in it self to SWIM


pretty intresting that other people feel the same way as SWIM

I've had a craving for it.. however, that quickly stopped once I
snorted something that burnt my nose for.. a good 2 hours. VERY
PAINFUL

The only thing SWIM loves to snort is cocaine. Anything else he can easily pass up and would probably take by other means. SWIM however has friends who are the same way. They feel the need to snort just about anything that they can even though they know it doesnt make a difference. You need to kick this habit because your really going to screw up your nose eventually.

Like Benga was saying, it is somewhat of an OCD, in fact SWIM's masters
research is an investigation into the treatment of addiction through
examination of OC tendencies. The similarities are very striking,
With OCD there are 2 distinct stages, The obession and the compulsion,
the obsession may be cleanliness while the compulsion is the
requirement of continuous cleansing. Addiction follows the same
pattern with obesession being the continuous thoughts of needing to use
or thoughts of using itself, while the compulsion is giving into the
obsession of using. Exposure therapy coupled with additional
OCD per your requirement therapy helped me with my morphia
addiction (Morphine, as called in United States) which was
readily available to SWIM in India, as SWIM's father is the only doctor
in his small village of "S" living above the hospital. Although
this has not helped as the last year living in US SWIM have found
heroin, mutras.

Do you really believe in the Freudian thinking that humans develop all the same, going through these stages of growth? I find it hard to believe that every human being goes through the stages. Freud also says that if someone doesn't overcome the conflicts within one stage, it will result in that person being excessively clean or messy an alcoholic, ect.

Freud was a very smart guy, but neo-freudians have come a long way in giving better theories to the mysteries of human psychology. The stages of human developement are not generally accepted as holding any truth.

Swim kicked the habbit for about a month and got a sinus infection, and swim has started back up. what the hell is wrong with swim he knows its really bad for him

[u4ic]

Swim is in the same boat. Intranasal use has been his favorite for quite some time now. Its very effcient and in a sick way, fun. It will get active ingredients into you blood stream quickly. Swim doesn't smoke anything. Swim also got a mild sinus infection and people always think he's sick. But really he's just congested from the daily intranasal h use. It's not a big problem with h or pills. Oxys were so gentle that he could sniff 8 20mg oxys, which is a lot of powder with no noticable adverse effects at all. Now blow on the other hand is extremely hazardous to your noses health. Swim can only handle that like once a year.
