The only way you could justify this is because gambling can cost you all your money and possessions if it gets out of control. Guess what....so can substance abuse if it gets out of control
in that respect they are all the same
i justify it because it is the one on the list with the least negative energy focused on it. The world over, people gamble for fun
Quick, clean gratification from gambling, get's you good and high, and you can never get enough until you are fresh out of your bag of dope (bankroll)
Lot easier to score some action to scratch a gambling itch than script meds or (really shitty) cocaine.

But begging for money, being homeless, and seeing nothing else being important besides a fix isn't? This is reality for tons of addicts. It doesn't apply to Dop bc he's a functional guy, but there are plenty ppl that aren't. Wouldn't you say there are lots of gambling addicts who are functional also? I think you guys are downplaying how serious substance abuse/addiction can be. Serious drug addicts chase highs, just like serious gambling addicts chase losses. Both are extremely debilitating.

I would have to say that my wife has basically given up on me. Ive been married to her for 15 years and i was like this when we first got married the only difference was that i tried to hide it better, know it's not worth the time and in her eyes i guess its not worth her time to preach to me anymore. Like i said before ive known i had a problem for a long time, maybe if i had seeked out help 20 years ago things would be different but all in all i have no regrets.

great thread there is some good stuff here... based on you substances, your thoughts about cutting back make sense...
I am glad that you are having help in the process... If you know about what I do and have done for a living for years, then you know that have had the privilege to have observed/assessed/helped over 1000 people with mental health and/or addictions (substance and behavioral like gambling)
So I was hesitant to post because it is alot like work and I did not want to interfere with what ever process you are going through... But I figure the more you know the better and my opinion is just that an opinion (so take it with a grain of salt)
Here is my take on your addiction profile that you first posted...
First off the thing that sticks out to me is the alcohol use... I think it is good that you are able to wait till the end of the day to start drinking as you might be on the road to physical dependence to alcohol that is a physical issue as you can go into seizures or even die if you try to stop drinking cold turkey when you have a physical dependence to alcohol...
So what is prescribed to help with the withdrawal effects of alcohol?
Benzos.... which might explain your draw to them and one would wonder if you would even need the benzos if you had no alcohol in your system... benzos are also not designed for long term use (unless you are mentally ill)
Because ironically the withdrawal effect of the benzos is increased anxiety resulting in a dependence on the benzos which might effect your sleep with racing thoughts at night
Since you had the balls to share your story I will share a little about myself... Im 35 years old and currently use THC as needed/wanted... have taken breaks of up to 2+ years over the years... I stopped drinking pretty much since college and rarely use that now... no other drugs...
My thinking is to be a one substance person then if I need to be sober then I am only one step away and I only need to battle/be aware of one set to withdrawal symptom profile...
your polysubstance patterns get complicated and you might find that you are medicating the withdrawal effects of your use... making the addiction hole both deeper (severe) and wider (number of substances) in the process
Hope this helps, if you disagree with me cool, but if you have questions, just ask...
One thing I can tell you is that you are battling two things right now... the withdrawal of the substance as well as your body's natural chemical withdrawal that occurs with behaviors and any type of addiction...
The people who are making comparisons of gambling addiction with substance addiction are also making some good points

This is a pretty odd but good talk for this site. I have been coming here for awhile now only made myself a name and stuff about a year or so ago, but don't comment very often, but this one really drew my interest. I am a D&A Counselor, also in recovery been clean off a pretty serious drug, I celebrated 5 years clean Dec. 31. Yea, I know who gets clean on The Eve. I had enough so I just checked myself in with a little pressure from friends and family, since I had battled the addiction since college. The funny thing is it all started with scripts by a DR. I was a baseball player at Penn State got hurt got put on meds, and as a player at a pretty big school or at least at where I was it was like candy for me. Whenever I wanted it I got it. Ended up from looking like a draft pick to 5 shoulder surgries and a junkie. I have always bet, and honestly wouldn't advise it to Pt's at the rehab I work at. It's an addiction all in the same. I mean the same rush from winning I got from the drug, maybe not as long or as good but similar affect. But I still gamble. I do think I have a problem some days and shouldn't but it's when I'm losing. Kinda like an addict that finnally realizes it's time to stop when the cops are out to get him or he runs out of money. I can also relate to the bars, situation. I have been on Benzo's since I was 14, when my mom passed away and only stopted when I was using my drug of choice because I OD and it honestly scared the shit out of me. So when I got clean I would notice that my anxiety would be a major factor to me going back to use, so I went to a DR. got put on the meds again and have been on them the whole 5 years. Hardcore ppl in recovery could and do say this isn't clean, hell my boss tells me she is the only one that knows because of her fear how the other counselors will look or treat me. I say ya know I did the NA/AA thing and still do not as much but do, went to a ton of rehabs, but kept using. Because they pounded in my head a drug is a drug. But I am in the belief that each person has thier own way to the light of recovery. Where as one person may see a person taking prescibed methadone for 10 years but never touching nothing else as not clean, I don't, some say if you go to church or you do this or that if you don't follow the NA/AA way your not clean. All I know is in 5 years I have me back, and have had a child met an amazing woman who is a stright edge never even been drunk VP of a Company with a Masters, I am working on my Masters, but somedays especially when I bet a lot I do over take my meds. So I go back and forth on am I clean am I not. I feel bad somedays like I let down the ppl I am suppose to be helping down. When that douchebag from the Jets ran that TD in instead of just falling and letting the clock run out, than got a 15yd pentalty and gave Brady all that time and I dropted 5gs I went to my meds, is that addict behavior absolutely. As per your situation, mixing the booze and the meds is bad money bro, I mean smoking some in my personial opnion isn't bad. I mean if a kid goes from shooting 15bags of dope a day to only smoking weed the rest of his life and becomes a success in life is that wrong. I honestly believe that to each his or her own. I get into a lot of heated conversations, but if you got a kid that needs to steal from his family just to b right for the day and not feel like he is dying to smoking and gets his life back, and a good job and family back who am I to tell him or her your not clean or what your doing is wrong. But I know addiction on drugs and gambling are like peanut butter and jelly. In your situation one thing you should know is that benzo withdrawl reallly doesn't hit you until like 1-2 weeks after your last pill. Going cold turkey can kill you. Even though some drug withdrawl may make you feel like your gonna die, 2 can kill you, booze and benzo's. Be careful, I am by no means happy with myself somedays, but I do take my meds as prescibed about 90% of the time, but that 10% is still an addict. All I know is my life is better I am not living on the streets, I am not robbing people I love, I am a good dad and husband, or I know I try my hardest. To be honest with myself on some days I question am I clean. My DR. knows my history when I go to a meeting I talk about what I take I am honest. Something I never was when I was using the drug that brought a good kid to his knees. But I can tell ya this from experince zans and betting make it harder because you forget a lot. I mean I have a game in my head a trend I see early and forget, but as for myself I am honest about what I am on but I do feel like a fraud a lot, and I also know gambling is like the same rush as the drug. I know it's wrong but I still do it. And my addictive personality costs me money. I am up for the year not a ton but like 5-6gs but I know I'd be up about 10more if I had any discipline and being an addict I chase a lot and it's burnt me. I usually end the year up but what could I be up if I didn't have an addictive personality. I have no idea if I made sense, but really the most important thing I would tell you is don't go cold turkey on the benzo's and mixing all that except the weed is lethal. I mean I have been to a few funerals of ppl with the same story man, and I don't know you but to have the balls to just put yourself out there in this way on this site takes balls and it also takes someone that I think is crying for help. I think you know the answer just as I do. It's not like capping a game this life and death and these drugs will kill you if not the being doped up can not be good to your ability to think straight capping. But honestly gambling in my opnion should be the least of your concerns. Coming off the drugs your own you need medical supervision, like I said yeah I read the one post I havent done any in a day or something like that benzo withdrawl isn't like most drugs it hits you hard farther away from your last dose be careful and I wish you the best. And thanks you really made me look at myself as I was typing this I was kinda talking to myself as well.

i know you are buddy, your good peeps.....i see that you found protos thread........Covers Classic...."Shooting the Dirt"
I appreciate it man I don't like to see anyone down and I was in your position for years, just worse bc I wasn't functional enough to be successful. You're starting to question your lifestyle which happened to me countless time, but I was finally able to pick myself up and get my act together. As gay as it sounds, you need support, and even if it is through a gambling website (ironic), I'll give it to you bc I know you can make the changes you want to make bc I did. And yes, I love Covers bc where else can you "shoot the dirt" about picks and then laugh your ass off? Great site

I usually end the year up but what could I be up if I didn't have an addictive personality. I have no idea if I made sense, but really the most important thing I would tell you is don't go cold turkey on the benzo's and mixing all that except the weed is lethal. I mean I have been to a few funerals of ppl with the same story man, and I don't know you but to have the balls to just put yourself out there in this way on this site takes balls and it also takes someone that I think is crying for help. I think you know the answer just as I do. It's not like capping a game this life and death and these drugs will kill you if not the being doped up can not be good to your ability to think straight capping. But honestly gambling in my opnion should be the least of your concerns. Coming off the drugs your own you need medical supervision, like I said yeah I read the one post I havent done any in a day or something like that benzo withdrawl isn't like most drugs it hits you hard farther away from your last dose be careful and I wish you the best. And thanks you really made me look at myself as I was typing this I was kinda talking to myself as well.
Man tell me about it. I heard this argument countless times. It's quite the debate in the rehab community isn't it? Good post man. Glad to hear you're doing better
This is a pretty odd but good talk for this site. I have been coming here for awhile now only made myself a name and stuff about a year or so ago, but don't comment very often, but this one really drew my interest. I am a D&A Counselor, also in recovery been clean off a pretty serious drug, I celebrated 5 years clean Dec. 31. Yea, I know who gets clean on The Eve. I had enough so I just checked myself in with a little pressure from friends and family, since I had battled the addiction since college. The funny thing is it all started with scripts by a DR. I was a baseball player at Penn State got hurt got put on meds, and as a player at a pretty big school or at least at where I was it was like candy for me. Whenever I wanted it I got it. Ended up from looking like a draft pick to 5 shoulder surgries and a junkie. I have always bet, and honestly wouldn't advise it to Pt's at the rehab I work at. It's an addiction all in the same. I mean the same rush from winning I got from the drug, maybe not as long or as good but similar affect. But I still gamble. I do think I have a problem some days and shouldn't but it's when I'm losing. Kinda like an addict that finnally realizes it's time to stop when the cops are out to get him or he runs out of money. I can also relate to the bars, situation. I have been on Benzo's since I was 14, when my mom passed away and only stopted when I was using my drug of choice because I OD and it honestly scared the shit out of me. So when I got clean I would notice that my anxiety would be a major factor to me going back to use, so I went to a DR. got put on the meds again and have been on them the whole 5 years. Hardcore ppl in recovery could and do say this isn't clean, hell my boss tells me she is the only one that knows because of her fear how the other counselors will look or treat me. I say ya know I did the NA/AA thing and still do not as much but do, went to a ton of rehabs, but kept using. Because they pounded in my head a drug is a drug. But I am in the belief that each person has thier own way to the light of recovery. Where as one person may see a person taking prescibed methadone for 10 years but never touching nothing else as not clean, I don't, some say if you go to church or you do this or that if you don't follow the NA/AA way your not clean. All I know is in 5 years I have me back, and have had a child met an amazing woman who is a stright edge never even been drunk VP of a Company with a Masters, I am working on my Masters, but somedays especially when I bet a lot I do over take my meds. So I go back and forth on am I clean am I not. I feel bad somedays like I let down the ppl I am suppose to be helping down. When that douchebag from the Jets ran that TD in instead of just falling and letting the clock run out, than got a 15yd pentalty and gave Brady all that time and I dropted 5gs I went to my meds, is that addict behavior absolutely. As per your situation, mixing the booze and the meds is bad money bro, I mean smoking some in my personial opnion isn't bad. I mean if a kid goes from shooting 15bags of dope a day to only smoking weed the rest of his life and becomes a success in life is that wrong. I honestly believe that to each his or her own. I get into a lot of heated conversations, but if you got a kid that needs to steal from his family just to b right for the day and not feel like he is dying to smoking and gets his life back, and a good job and family back who am I to tell him or her your not clean or what your doing is wrong. But I know addiction on drugs and gambling are like peanut butter and jelly. In your situation one thing you should know is that benzo withdrawl reallly doesn't hit you until like 1-2 weeks after your last pill. Going cold turkey can kill you. Even though some drug withdrawl may make you feel like your gonna die, 2 can kill you, booze and benzo's. Be careful, I am by no means happy with myself somedays, but I do take my meds as prescibed about 90% of the time, but that 10% is still an addict. All I know is my life is better I am not living on the streets, I am not robbing people I love, I am a good dad and husband, or I know I try my hardest. To be honest with myself on some days I question am I clean. My DR. knows my history when I go to a meeting I talk about what I take I am honest. Something I never was when I was using the drug that brought a good kid to his knees. But I can tell ya this from experince zans and betting make it harder because you forget a lot. I mean I have a game in my head a trend I see early and forget, but as for myself I am honest about what I am on but I do feel like a fraud a lot, and I also know gambling is like the same rush as the drug. I know it's wrong but I still do it. And my addictive personality costs me money. I am up for the year not a ton but like 5-6gs but I know I'd be up about 10more if I had any discipline and being an addict I chase a lot and it's burnt me.

I will try this one more time with no disrespect. What happens if you lose your job????
I'll answer this One more time.....I AM A PARTNER IN THE COMPANY........If i get fired..............i get paid......bought out......plus i could make $$$$$$ sitting on my couch.....i am in internet marketing.....in all due respect u should have read the thread before posting.....but no worries.....i know that 6 pages is getting to be alot to sift through..........but it was in my first post.......

ok guys haven't eaten a ambien since i last posted........don't exactly remember, but i ate my last bars last night and i am out.......worked out all weekend and hit the sauna like a son of a bitch.....i feel the toxins just leaving my body.............still burning nugs and drinking.....but i haven't been drinking all that much lately.....nor have i been burning nugs at a rate to catch up for other lost or missing highs......Thanks guys, except for Roachie I told you to stay out of my thread............
DL appreciate the input, what where you waiting for this thread to go over 125 posts to comment. I asked for your advice in the first......post
sorry dopa... I was going back and forth on whether to post on your thread as I did not want say anything untimely or try to be a therapist online (which can be dangerous)... Once I saw that you have gathered yourself and made some nice steps towards getting better I figured what I said would do no harm and only reaffirm your choices.
how people are treated in the "contemplative stage" where they think they might have a problem that needs to be addressed can make a huge difference and I have learned over the years it is better to get out of someones way (let them figure it out) and hop aboard once they have some momentum rather then trying to push start and coerce some one to start changing in that stage....
Its hard for me to wear/not wear my professional hat on covers as I usually spend this time on covers not working... And professionally I would not tell you to increase your THC intake to help you through the withdrawal of the other substances... But logically and in my experience considering the substance cocktail you were on, your plan actually makes 100% sense...
Remember with substances, behaviors, businesses, crimes, whatever... You can mess up along the way, but in the end how you finish something or end something is where you have to be your most sharp... you may have tons of success while doing it, but if you left paying for it for the rest of your life then it erases alot of the past successes...
You need to attack this like any other goal in your life that you have been successful on...
Cool part about this thread is that there are other people know and understand where you are at, where you going and what you are going through...
Thank you covers and those with wisdom, empathy and understanding through experience
The Ignorant rhetoric is simply the opposite of those 3 things...

Alright, Forget I asked. I did read the first post and others. Sounds like you have it all figured out if you was to lose your job with all that extra time on your hands and money. Best of Luck to you.

OK Guys serious question.....I am a 31 year old CMO/ and business partner in a fairly lucrative Internet Marketing company.....completely thriving sector in a dismal economy..........I drink about 6-9 beers a day on average...I drink Scotch as well. Smoke about a oz of some of the highest quality jane available.........And i get prescribed by the VA Xanax and Ambien....My question to my covers GD brothers is will i not be able to continue my successful trend over the past years with all these DRUGS.
I am a fairly gifted salesman so i think my god given abilities have been allowing me to coast instead of excel in my field....Only reason i mention this is not to brag, just to explain my situation....All advice is greatly appreciated...I wanna hear from Jersey, spit, salty, apache, caca, scalabrine, DL36, all the GD posters....i want your input. Roachie stay out of my thread everyone else with constructive criticism....I will take it all with all a grain of salt but appreciate the help and advice....
Dopalicous-
You remind me of how I was 5 years ago.
I woke up one day 6 months ago and I was done with it all except the high end mary j.
The xanax is a bitch man. It takes me a lot to crave booze (surprisingly considering how much I drank) but I used to love those xanies. The withdrawal from those things isn't any fun.
I have had my most successful sales months ever since I quit drinking.

I am a fairly gifted salesman so i think my god given abilities have been allowing me to coast instead of excel in my field....Only reason i mention this is not to brag, just to explain my situation....All advice is greatly appreciated...I wanna hear from Jersey, spit, salty, apache, caca, scalabrine, DL36, all the GD posters....i want your input. Roachie stay out of my thread everyone else with constructive criticism....I will take it all with all a grain of salt but appreciate the help and advice....
Dopalicous-
You remind me of how I was 5 years ago.
I woke up one day 6 months ago and I was done with it all except the high end mary j.
The xanax is a bitch man. It takes me a lot to crave booze (surprisingly considering how much I drank) but I used to love those xanies. The withdrawal from those things isn't any fun.
I have had my most successful sales months ever since I quit drinking.
