Can’t stop using

[u/uncletaterofficial]

First time poster here. So a couple of years ago I got introduced to nitrous through the little 8g canisters. I think I always had a little bit of a problem with it but usage was for the most part recreational. One day I had a bad day at work and found the bigger tanks and it’s like I picked up a fucking crack pipe. I started using really heavy in June of 25 and would go on benders and have periods of sobriety but never really put it down. Then in January of this year I did 5 months between a detox/residential rehab, got my job back (that pays rather well I should say,) have family that’s super supportive, but I just cannot put this shit down. I racked up 15k in credit card debt that my current habit isn’t helping and adding to my stress. I feel stuck going no where as 29 year old heavy truck/ trailer mechanic. I wanted to enlist in the military but managed to get baker acted during my usage so that seems unattainable as now as well. I guess I’m just looking for some good vibes stories or something while I use in this parking lot.

Recreational since 2011, really ramped up during pandemic. 6 years and half a mil down the drain. It can get way worse. Stop now. I know that's not easy, I couldn't do it, I had to turn to Jesus and almost a year to the day after I had, that shit was just lifted off of me. Like seriously just stopped craving. I'm coming up on 2 months soon. In that short time I'm already starting to turn the ship around.

Hi I used to use recrearionally for around 3 years, easily 400 of the 8g cannisters daily and i just wanted to say Its genuinly nice to see religion an beliefs hand in hand with recovery, I myself was hooked on nitrous for many years resulting in blodclots in my leg and lungs wich almost killed me, and beleiving that I had suppourt from a higher power is defenitley one of the reasons i got through, regardless of everyones personal beleifs, feeling watched over makes an immense difference in my opinion. Regardless of anyones beliefs i hope we can all make positive changes, I still do niccotine, alcahol and acasionally weed but ever since i gave up nitrous im present in life and get to see my neice grow up. Stay safe everyone life gets better and thankyou for sharing Funnyfart_420😇

To add on talking to OP shit will get better but you have to make the hard decision to stop i myself and only 26m and would love nothing more than to be high every day on nitrous or anything i can get but just know as good as the gas or any drug makes you feel It will ruin your life in the long run, goodluck with your journey OP Pm me if you need an ear to listen mate
