Tips 2 quit ecstasy

[Aeris2001x2]

i,m hardly a hardcore drug user at 20. Ioccassionaly smoke weed(which i only did 4 first time 2004 march). I,ve taken Speed once. i just dont like these.


MDMA however is so amazing. my first pill was 10 weeks ago and all my best nights out have come in the last ten weeks, i dont want to touch Alcohol again.


I however was a bit foolish, i did not believe i could get tolerant. but it seems i definitly have.


in the 8 weekends i,ve been out on pills its been 1 pill sat, 2 pills sat, 4 pills in a weekend, 5 pills sat, 2 pills sat, 4 pills sat, 5 pills sat, and then 10 pills in a weekend including 2 counts of double dropping.


I then decided i was going to tone down until the music festival in june, get mashed over the five days, then quit. I took two pills, over an hour yesterday, and i felt half loved up, but genrally i just felt like i was coming up 4 hours, but never did. i could not believe it.


This has reaffirmed my notion of quitting pills, so i destroy the tolerance that i,m annoyed i have. The pills i get are genrally quite shit, alot of friends and dealers i know who have done them 4 yearsgrieve the loss of the good pills. So maybe thats it, but i have never had problems rolling b4 yesterday. i want to get it down so 1 still rolls me.


But the initialreason i wanted to quit pills was because i did want to be addicted. i wanted to prove 2 myself i was stronger then ecstasy. i was fine at first, missed last weekend but did not care. however this week i,ve really been craving them.


I know i will not be able to have a good time without them. I define the terms introverted and shy. Even on Alcohol i found it very hard to talk to ppl and i would never dance.


So i really dont know what to do. my gf who has taken pills 4 a year and a half, started hating them when i started, andshes going to quit. That should provide incentive, buts its going 2 be hell.


I,ve considered doing a different drug over the 3 months, but what?


DXM is not avaliable without presciption here in UK, Coke is too expensive, Weed to mesucks, Speed is nice, but i have sleep problems as it is(and most of my pills are mixed in amphetamine anyway).


I have a phobia of mushrooms, Heroin requires injections(not 4 me), is physically addictive, and the impurities scare me.


Poppers smell nasty, I,m considering LSD, but i need to do it with friends first, plus its not widely avaliable around here. Most psychedelic drugs, particulary Ketamine i,m not ready for, having never had a proper trip.


What else is there? finding a drug thats good would so help me, then after a time i quit it and change drugs again etc...


Does anyone have any advice?

you could try Oxy, Codine, or Hydro pills like Percs or Endos. They are prescription, but they could definatly take the edge off.

I strongly disagree with your suggestion mf400. Opiates are much more addictive than MDMA, and the withdrawls are horrible. Replacing one addiction with an even stronger addiction is not the direction to go.

Theres no easy way to break an addiction, but I'm not even sure you have an addiction. If you used every weekend, than what about the other 5 days? You weren't freakin out for some XTC and having withdrawls were you? To me, it sounds like you want something to help you enjoy yourself at parties. Unfortunately, we don't live in a perfect world, so you gotta restrain yourself from taking them every weekend if you want your tolerance to go down. Try having alcohol at parties, or some herb. Theres a whole world of mind altering drugs out there, just waiting to be explored lol, XTC is just one of them.

After reading your post, I really think you should just avoid drugs.

This is not meant as a smart-ass reply. I mean that you have a bad
reaction and/or feeling about almost all drugs, and have not been able to
exercise any self-control at all with the one you did like.

I'm curious about your phobia of mushrooms, and why this doesn't
extend to, say, LSD?Edited by: radiometer

Wow, I feel the exact same way, before I tried rolling I used to drink
about every weekend, now it just seems pointless. I hate how
drinking makes me feel out of control and how I act like a slob.

LOL, i can relate to this.. but now i'm onbreak from pills i've gone back to drinking alcohol every weekend, it's what i used to do before i started using pills - although i don't like it, weed also helped me somewhat.. i'm still at early stages of my break though.


Just try to remember what you used to do before you started using pills? Kinda get back into old routines, for me.. that was drinking every weekend, when i was on the pills, sure.. I never had the urge to drink alcohol but when you get off them you realize it never was that bad; you can still enjoy yourself with the right people- sure it doesnt compare to ecstacy... but if you wanna keep the magic you need to moderate your'e ussage.


Doing pills Every weekend is just too much, i also found out the hard way, once a month turned into twice a month, twice a month turned into every weekend, every weekend then turned into doing them days back-to-back.. binging on them, taking ridiculous amounts to get desired effect.


Try quitting for a while, going back to old routines, hobby's, whatever it was you used to do before and you'll be fine. I don't think you need to 'quit' pills, as many have said.. moderation is key. Just prove to yourself you can stay off them for so long before using them again - and then moderate your ussage to once a month or once every two months.


I've used pills once in the last 7 weeks now and the last time i took any was 3 weekends ago, so still early stages but the longer you leave them the easier it gets, I have no intention of getting any this week, nor the week after yet on the second week of stopping i was craving but just say no.

It probably won't be too hard if you remind yourself of the after-effects!

i would recommend that you use GHB, its quite euphoric (not as much as xtc) but has very few side effects. go to the ghb forum for more info.

i think a lot of us on this site can relate to what yr sayin. In my experience, the only way to really beat an addiction is to distance yrslef from the things that encourage u to use the drug. Unfortunatly this often means stayin away from some of yr friends who also use, and also clubs where people take it.


Let us know how u get on x
