FredFreddie:
I am looking for an addiction treatment center that would be suitable for both physical and psychological rehabilitation. What aspects should I consider when choosing a rehab center? How do I know if a program is really effective, and what types of therapy work best for opioid addiction? Any recommendations would be welcome, especially if someone has already been through similar treatment and can share their experience.

If not that whistleblowers don't survive in Nigeria this would have been where he reported them so as to prevent them from selling and help security agencies fish out suppliers

emmy512:
Where do you get it.
Maybe if you cast your plug, you won't have where to go to get it

crackaholic:
Yeah you are right. The most important thing about quitting an addiction is will power.
Some have strong will power while others are weaker. It's about decision making and holding on to that decision.

I'll write more about how I stopped and had continued to stay sober.
I didn't use a psychiatrist as I couldn't afford at the start. I wish I could but I couldn't afford at that time. So I had to take the strong decision of quit totally or I'd be dead in a few months/years without achieving any positive outcome in life.

And didn't want to die with a failed legacy.

LordBegginstien:
staying off it for just few days and you are already celebrating? hahahah
anyway may you succeed in your endevour to quit this killer addiction. I have been fighting to quit porn and m addiction for morethan 3years nd still couldnt do it

Hello nairalanders

I'm going to share my personal sincere experience from being a very bright sober university student with good academic performance and multiple talents also love by all around me to becoming a deeply hooked crackhead drug addict with a very scrupulous reputation and nearly deserted by family and friends alike.
It will be quite a lengthy post but I'll always come back to write whenever I'm on my leisure time.

I want to use this post to share my personal life experiences on drugs addiction and recovery. This is intended as a means of educating and enlightening individuals and families about drug addiction, how to go about it when they or their family members are affected.

First I must emphasize that the negative effects of drug ADDICTION is tremendous and very debilitating.
The level of addiction depends on the longevity of use and type of substance abused.

In my case, my major addiction is on Crack Cocaine (Charlie,CK, Coca, Coco, White Rock)
This is a very addictive and dangerous substance with high potency for addiction. It's also cruelly expensive and the urge/cravings that come with this drug is very strong.
I was previously addicted to Opiates (Tramadol) and had several seizures from overdose but quilt a few years ago only to find myself fallen deep into crack Cocaine, which is seemingly worse.

This is my 4-5th year of addiction. Though I've made up my mind to quite and it's barely a few days since I quit. I'll be posting my progress here.

Stay active here from time to time.

I'll first be writing about my personal experiences with crack Cocaine use then move to the side and effects, the cravings and heinious crimes I committed just to get money to buy this substance Crack. It almost turned my life over.

MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE AFTER USE
Instant euphoria, increased confidence and raised energy, alertness is heightened, become talkative, extremely raised euphoria, increased libido

Negative effects
Dilated pupils, constant cravings, extremely high heart rate, increased blood pressure, muscle spasms, vibrating body, restlessness, insomnia, constant fear of the unknown, profuse sweating, worst of it all is the cravings.
It made me sell of all my properties and loose all my personal relationship and assets, my job, everything. Including selling other people's properties just to fund the crack Cocaine cravings hobby. I nearly got suicidal at some point. Early signs of schizophrenia we're experienced. In fact people started seeing me as crazy. Thank goodness I am now on the train of recovery.

Ignore my typographical errors

I'll write more later... In a few hours.

I'll talk about my triggers my urge for taking crack. This usually applies to every other crack addict out there.

You can comment to share your thoughts and contributions on this thread if you have any.
Encouragements and questions are welcomed.

After Covid, when I got back to Nigeria after having not taken CK for over 18 Months, I spent N900,000 in 1 bleeping night.

My heart blocked oo! On several occasions I’ve had to spend 500K a day and yet the craving continues after 5 minutes.

The worst part is the cravings. It makes you somebody else until you hit it. Na God save me oo. I used my PS5 to smoke and owed more than 500K before I paid it off.

Are we counting gold rings that I had all over my fingers that got exchanged for CK?

That’s an eviiiiillllllll devilish type thing.

If I take CK today, I won’t eat till next tomorrow. Guy, I was lucky man. It’s over 3 years I never even near am. Last time I tried it, I hated it and held onto that.

It’ll mess you up 🥹

I know someone who needs help.
However, I do not completely agree with you. The dangers most times are clearly spelt out, people that have fallen victims and that can serve as cautionary examples are everywhere , still people foolishly think they are special and go into it.

Neddstark:
Most probably not. There are thousands of meth addicts in Nigeria. There are thousands of loved ones wailing over them.

thinkmoney:
I feel happy for you and at the same time angry. Una no dey hear. Most time u guys indulge in this thing just because of social things.
Drug is poison. It gradually destroys organ. The more time u indulge in drugs the more the damage will not be reversible. See ur shoulders now.
Drug users are so wicked and selfish in the sense that dey don't consider the sacrifice of their parents or future needs of their children and other dependants. When they falls seriously sick in the future, they then cause distress for their immediate family and open up their partners to unnecessary test of loyalty

The devil is real

Don't let it win you

oga he's 17 and he's making money and living alone comfortably, I only knew about the ice when we were all home for last Christmas, I've done my part by telling him to just take loud because ice is not advisable, in my family nobody can beat anybody na advice we fit give.

And what do you mean by show the kind of person I am? Because I dey smoke Arizona? I live life as healthy as I can, google benefits of marijuana and stop saying nonsense.

You'll hate me more when I don't smoke to get high so don't say what you don't know because you know nothing. I don't even drink alcohol so should I go about insulting everyone that drinks alcohol? Even olosho get reason for doing olosho so judge not.

kingthreat:
I am happy for my life. I have never smoked even paper in my life.
There is a big drug pandemic in Nigeria. If you know, you know.

Am sharing this with a sad heart and using this to beg people to please stay away from drugs.

I never liked weed or anything smoke growing up.... the first time I smoked in 2007 (100l) I didn't like the feeling at all so it was never my thing, I loved alcohol and I drank alot then....in my final year first semester I was introduce to something that almost killed me.

We were preparing for exams so night class was the thing....for ladokites in the building y"all know night class is something very common during exams....one day I attended one at (mko lecture theatre)....it was a group reading for a general course (basic in accounting.....imagine we mech engine student were force to do management courses in our finals) ...I was feeling sleepy so I beg a guy to give me some water to rinse my face to clear away sleep...they all laffed and told me to take something instead that wont make me sleep (I was giving tramaldo 50mg) and that was the beginning of my addiction to this drug......I was so addicted that I was even buying packs (it was very cheap then).

The feeling was great at first when I started using but has years roll by I started having health issues.....the major one was difficulty in sleeping.
After my nysc (2013) I was in my parent house.....I took about 300mg a night before, when I woke up, went outside to check why the dogs were barking seriously, I got back in my room and I had serious seizures ......I was unconscious for about 30min.
I saw my mum crying and my dad holding me when i opened my eye....I was already very wet ,urinated on myself with spoon in my mouth.
I could have died that day......but God safe me...I guess my parent prayers brought me back.

I asked my mum what happened she was just rolling on the floor thanking God....my dad pulled me up, I felt pains around my right shoulder, I have dislocated my shoulder during the seizures.(Till today that shoulder stills give me issues).

My parent thought it was a spiritual attack but I knew it was the drugs I took that nite before....I actually OD on.

I vow never to take it or any other drugs again and am still holding on to it.

Am sharing this because I lost a childhood friend on Sunday......he died from drug abuse.

His liver was 3 times the normal size and divided......Crystal meth was the drug that actually nailed him.

He was from a rich home and last child.....I cried when I saw his corpse because I remember the first time I saw him smoke a cigarette In 2005....that night I was really shocked and he told me this what big boys take in boarding school.

Please stay away from drugs.......you might not be lucky like my friend.....you have the power to beat the addiction by just making up your mind and cutting off friends that can influence you.

RIP Ayobami.....dead at 32yrs.
