So in Iowa we are going though a lack of meth (greedy dealers). SWIM wants some tips on what to do when you good people find yourself with out.

When SWIM had a meth habit and a dry spell came along she would try and get some GBL cause it took away her anxiety / meth cravings and also got her buzzing. Opiates were her 2nd choice, but they were the only 2 drugs SWIM enjoyed during meth withdrawal. As a last resort benzos and sleeping pills could always be relied on to at least take the edge off.

As much as it may suck, compulsory breaks have a plus side. Some sober time to evaluate your life and your drug use, catching up on sleep or at very least your tolerance will drop so the next time you use it wont cost as much. The fact that you don't know what to do when you don't have any meth should be a warning bell for you, SWIM remembers that feeling well. Being that reliant on a substance that you are lost without it is never a pleasant place to be, it is a loss of control, a loss of independence and eventually a loss of self. It should be a choice, use because you want to, not because you need to.

It's not that so much as, Swim hasn't done any for 4 months and when swim finally made the choice to party this weekend there isn't any to be found. So swims question wasn't so much how to deal with wd as a fun second. Swim has never really been into opiates, but might try some if nothing else becomes available.

This four months has been a break for swim. Get clean, find a job, pass drug tests. And now swim justs wants a weekend like the old days. Party Party and Party. Swim doesn't think he has ever been an addict. Swim always knows when to stop (usually three days of partying and then sleep) or if he can't afford it or knows he has to be sober for certain things. Thanks for the advice though lost gurl!
