Spice Addiction

CaptainB2 · 13-09-2011, 03:56 AM

I stopped drinking to help me lose weight. I stopped smoking pot because I'm working a job that drug tests. I turned to smoking something called k2 or spice. It's basically fake weed only it's legal (not in all states).

I've never had addiction problems with weed or booze. I stopped when I needed to and would start again then stop again at my convenience and never felt like either were controlling me. I was your classic work hard yet play hard type guy.

Spice is different though. I'm hooked. I admit it. It's not just a mental thing either. I feel quite the physical withdrawal from it. Has anyone else had a problem with this. I really wish I could just do it recreationally but I don't think that's possible. Has anyone else had a problem with spice addiction? I could really use some support and advice right now

Hey. This might be better posted in the substance abuse section as it's more specifically aimed at addiction issues. Is this something you could go to your GP about for some help in coming off?

I didn't realize there was a substance abuse section. Can somebody please move this to there since I think that's where it belongs?

Also, what's a GP?

Sorry, a doctor!

Well, I'm practically broke so seeing a doctor is out of the question. Hell, the only reason I'm detoxing right now is because I literally don't have the money to feed my addiction. The only thing a doctor will do is tell me how dangerous it is and that I need to stop doing it. Both of which I already know.

What I really is emotional support or at least to know that someone else out there has struggled with this. The problem is this drug is so rare and very little is known about it.

I don't have much to offer you in the way of addiction support but the above is the link to the substance abuse section. I hope you find it helpful x
