38 hours clean from drugs. i wish people wouldn't romanticise addiction. ive been sat here for nearly 2 days unable to do anything but puke and have the shits, ive had 3 hours sleep because of insomnia and one minute im going from freezing and sweaty to burning alive and goosebumps. my head hurts and the lights too bright for my eyes, my stomach kills and my body feels stiff and sore. i can't eat and im struggling to stay hydrated, my hearts palpatating and all the noises seem so distant and muffled. my body won't stop shaking and i have big bags under my eyes, ive got spots popping up and i constantly need the toilet. it's been one of the hardest things ive ever gone through, ironically it feels like when i overdosed, but i wouldn't change it for the world. within a few weeks all my physical symptoms will be gone and ill be left to heal from the psychological problems my addiction and withdrawal have caused me.

Say no to opiates, kids. Liking cocaine is a slippery slope to liking jazz music.

"What's slab?" said Cheery.

"It are chloric ammonium an' radium mixed up. It give your head a tingle but melts troll brains. Big problem in der mountains and some buggers are makin' it here in der city and we tryin' to find how it get up dere. Mister Vimes is lettin' me run a"--Detritus concentrated--"pub-lic a-ware-ness campaign tellin' people what happens to buggers who sell it to kids..." He waved a hand at a large and rather crudely done poster on the wall. It said:

"SLAB: JUS' SAY

'AARRGHAARRGHPLEEASSENNONONOUGH.'"

He pushed open a door.

"Dis is der old privy wot we don't use no more, you can use it for mixin' up stuff, it the only place we got now, you have to clean it up first 'cos it smells like a toilet in here."

He opened another door. "And this der locker room," he said. "You got your own peg and dat, and dere's dese panels for getting changed behind 'cos we knows you dwarfs is modest. It a good life if you don't weaken. Mr. Vimes is OK but he a bit weird about some stuff, and he keepin' on sayin' stuff like dis city is a meltin' pot an' all der scum floats to der top, and stuff like dat. I'll give you your helmet an' badge in a minute but first--" he opened a rather larger locker on the other side of the room, which had "DTRiTUS" painted on it--"I got to go and hide dis hammer."

do you have any advice for helping to stay sober? ik it’s rly like not on brand with ur blog lol but i used to have a really bad opioid addiction and it’s better now; i’m 150 days clean and sober today, but people around me are using again and it’s getting stressful, and i don’t even wanna do it it’s the pressure from others.

please don’t ever feel bad for asking for advice, and just a quick reminder, my messages are always and forever open for anyone and everyone who needs help.

first of, 150 days clean is fucking huge and i am so infinitely proud of you, anon. and second, i understand the feeling all too well.

when i was around 17 nearly 18, i developed a bad drug addiction and was heavily dependent on alcohol. i quit both of them cold turkey when i was 19. there’s been so many ups and downs and i’ve been in and out of rehab, and then when people around me started using again it was almost like i had to, despite not wanting to and having no intention of doing so. i had an intense fear of disappointing people, so i thought ‘if i do it again, they’ll like me’.

the most important thing to do is first of all get away from those people and second: get out of that mindset as i guarantee that is doing you no good bb.

eventually it’ll get easier, even if it doesn’t feel like it right now, addiction is a disease and the fact you’ve made it this far just goes to show how strong you are ❤️❤️

i’m 450 days sober as of 4 hours ago, and sometimes it’s still hard, but it’s easier and it feels like the weight i’ve been carrying with me has been lifted somewhat. remember that if you can’t carry everything at once, it’s perfectly okay to do it brick by brick until you feel confident enough to do more.

most importantly focus on yourself and your wellbeing and stay away from those people bb

And chapter 5 is up. Its a bit short but hopefully it wont disappoint.. not too much anyway.

This chapter does involve drugs and withdrawal. If you or anyone is suffering from addiction, please seek professional help, theres resources that will help kick the habit safely. Don’t do what is in the story. I’m a thief, not a trained medical advisor.

9 months ago. I made an attempt that could’ve ended my life.

I’m so grateful that attempt failed. Because I wouldn’t be here right now if it worked.

Drugs can destroy your life and body in so many ways.

Please remember to always check on people close to you! <3

Drug usage within the sporting community – A dangerous epidemic? Or a chance for change?

“The sad thing about doping is how much it obscures our appreciation of greatness” – Malcom Gladwell

Drugs-use has been an ongoing societal problem. Within the sporting world, athletes are commonly regarded as role models for promoting health and wellbeing.

Stereotypically, drug abusers are thought to be anyone but high-profile professional athletes. It is therefore, surprising that drugs within sport are becoming more prevalent and publicised.

Drug-use in competitive sport specifically, is an issue that has been around for many years, dating back to the ‘remarkable’ performance of East Germany in the 1972 Summer Olympics. Nowadays, drug-use is prevalent, with the sporting world having expanded significantly both financially and socially. Consequently, the risk to reward factor of competitions are greater, therefore placing more pressure on individuals to perform at the highest level possible, creating a fast becoming crisis.

According to Hildebrandt et al. (2011) Performance Enhancing Drugs (PEDs) are ‘substances used for improving one’s performance and likelihood for personal achievement’.

Some of the most commonly used PEDs include:

Steroids – often hormones that are taken illegally by athletes to increase muscle mass or strength.

Human Growth Hormone – a substance that is injected by athletes in order to help them recover faster from injuries, which can lead to negative side effects such as diabetes or cancer.

Blood doping – when an athlete injects themselves with their own blood or someone else’s to boost their oxygen levels.

If you are interested in the effect these drugs have on your body, view the short clip below:

‘What Do Performance-Enhancing Drugs Do To Your Body?’

A quick Google News search around the term ‘doping’ in sport presented over 7,500 results. Evidently this illustrates the scale of the ‘epidemic’ problem we are facing.

Some of the historic cases include, drug use in the youth Olympics to a more famous case in the 2010 Tour de France involving Alberto Contador.

With drug-use in sport being such a problem, it becomes easy for us – the public - to take a critical stance, demonising drugs in sport and those involved.

However, it’s important to understand both sides, and why athletes may participate in this ‘illegal’ activity before judging and forming your opinion.

Personally, my opinions surrounding drug-use don’t condone nor criticise. I ruminate between two viewpoints and consider the specifics of each situation (e.g., what the drugs are being used for).

One viewpoint you could investigate when considering drugs in sport, is that PEDs create an unfair advantage amongst athletes. Traditional sporting values of fair-play and equality are sacrificed as a result and therefore we should maintain the strict regulations against drugs.

This perspective mirrors similar views to Houlihan’s which feature in chapter 16 of his book ‘sport and sociology’.

With the laws on drug-use in sport now being very strict, due to the potential rewards behind gaining a competitive advantage, the emergence of transgender athletes in sport has taken a significant impact because of certain hormonal drugs now being prohibited. This means that athletes will need to either raise their testosterone levels to be in with a fair chance of winning in male categories of sport or lower their testosterone levels so that their ability isn’t miles ahead of other competitors in female categories of sport.

Due to this, female athletes transitioning to male athletes and vice versa, will face significant scrutiny when seeking to compete, which has already been shown when Sebastian Coe recently stated that “biology trumps identity” and that “fairness is non-negotiable”.

This leads me onto my alternative viewpoint. This involves a margin of allowance for PEDs so that injured athletes can accelerate their recovery in order to minimise the anxiety and pressure surrounding physical or mental impairment, as well as other reasons why athletes may choose to self-medicate.

Whilst being monitored, this perspective can then be implemented to positively impact transgender individuals wishing to compete in sport, demonstrating inclusivity – one of sports’ traditional values.  

Have a Think…

As the sporting world is regarded as a community, our primary concern should be the welfare of the athlete.

If a drug does not expose an athlete to excessive risk, should we allow it even if it enhances performance?

If countries have the money to train at altitude and adapt their bodies whilst some countries don’t, does taking respiratory improving drugs close that advantage gap and makes things fairer?

Should we dismiss this entirely and return to historic beliefs, or should we rethink the meaning of sport as a 21st century society? The crusade against drugs has failed and will continue to fail, so rather than fearing drugs in sport, should we not embrace it?

“Performance enhancement is not against the spirit of sport; it is the spirit of sport. To choose to be better is to be human. The legalisation of drugs in sport may be fairer and safer” – J. Savulescu

tw, drug use, addiction, death

my friend died of a heroin overdose a few months back and it really affected me. we hadn't talked in quite a while but it breaks my heart i'll never get the opportunity to catch up. in my grief, i tried to wrap my head around the elements that make addiction to powerful. i came up with this acrostic poem.

Her eyes are so enchanting, she will never let you go.

Every morning when you wake up, you'll feel so alone.

Remembering the feelings that she gives you feels like home.

On the toilet, you will call her, and inject into your bones.

Integrated to your makeup, chemicals change what you know.

Never leaving, always feigning, staying strong until you're low.
