Last time I quit alcohol I took E's for a buzz. I'd take them every weekend and the come down was soooooo bad I'd feel depressed and suicidle so I then started buying cocaine regularly until I couldn't afford it anymore and then I started drinking again.
I genuinely ruined years of my life doing this. It's ur call

Alcohol is my drug of choice and I'm working on getting sober.
I've done "E" a couple times in the past few months and the level of anxiety and depression I felt after doing it was almost too much.
And it only increased my need for alcohol- wasn't an alternative.

I don't think this post is honest. Who in the heck would post this on a site for those wanting to achieve/have achieved sobriety? It bothers me when people waste the time of those of us that are looking for support and answers. Ah well.

Thanks to the more empathic responses or the straight to the point responses - appreciated. It wasn't bogus, I had a moment of madness, as maybe some people do in recovery. To be honest at the time it felt like a massive temptation that I didn't want to act on it, so I reached out on a forum.
Thanks again.
Thanks again.

I'm glad the moment of madness has passed WE.
I identified with your post - I know I looked for a lot of loopholes in my moments of madness.
I think this has been a valuable thread - in a lot of ways.

I think it's probably best if we all take a deep breath, learn the lessons we need to learn, and move on .
Like I said this has been a valuable thread - I think many of us do look for loopholes - lets not ruin it by bickering now.
For future reference if anyone ever finds a problem with a post they should report it and not post about in the thread.
Let's draw a line and move on.
Drop me or Anna a PM if you want your name changed WE

Thank you It's funny how the mind works, I have since being sober got taken down some very strange places/ bad ideas, fortunately I have not yet acted upon them but I can't always help the craziness...
It's great to be 5 months sober and it's great to be around people who understand so thanks again!

To Sissy07:
However, is it possible that threads like this help persons in recovery by shedding light on what in the trade has been called "stinkin' thinkin"? It may remind many of where they have been and the risk of going back there, a risk which may diminish over time but which is particularly strong in the early years of recovery. It's significant in illustrating how the inner "beast" of addiction talks when deprived of alcohol or some other addictive substance. It says, "Why not one more time? One more time..., One more...."
