• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Ive taken enough E in my life, and Im trying to stop the use. it's ironic to me 'cause you feel the great bliss, and Im brainwashed thinking that MDMA is 'God'. I feel like Im in heaven, but of course, it's all deception. How do I make the true God my 'ecstasy' of my life? Im not sure if I could say that about God but what can I do to make the right decision?

Hey sweetie :hug: well done to you for recognising that a life with E is not working for you. You are so right, it's OK while it lasts, but in the end it is nothing but a deception.

May I ask you how much E you are taking? Is your use limited to weekends, or do you find yourself using during the week too? Let's be honest too...the comedowns are pretty rotten, aren't they? Paranoia, depression, anxiety, greasy skin, exhaustion, etc, etc. All this can last for weeks and weeks. And, when you take a pill, there's no guarantee of the 'purity' of what you have just swallowed. It can be all sorts of 'stuff' mixed in there. Yuk! :sick:

Our Lord Jesus Christ can, and will, help you if you ask Him. :bow: Also, here is a link to a site called FRANK- well worth a visit. You can email them with any questions too.

Praying for you hon. :hug: You can always PM me if you want to talk.

God bless,

Violet xxx

Hi bud....
Well God does give us choices in life.
Read Deut 30:19 ( blessings n curses)
He asks us to choose life or death.
Ya,it sounds simple.And yes its hard to do.
But....Once I made up my mind,and got sick n
tired of being sick and tired of my (addiction) life.
I wanted my respect back,I wanted to live in reality.
At any cost.
The glitter n the glamor was running out.

I made up my mind.Made a serious decision,
to get clean n sober.

It was either the drug controling my life or
God.

Focus was hard,but (God) AA,NA friends were there for me too.
I had to get into the sober thinking.

I did what I had to to keep that demon from ruining
My God given life.

My gift to God today is to glorfy Him, N count my blessings.

I've come a long ways BABY,I am not junk.

I am a child of the King Jesus.
Because of Him I am alive,in living color Today.

I would not tread a good day of my past for
what God has given me today.

You have a problem? Admit it and get help.

"God helps those that can't help themselves"

He did it for me,n He'll do it for you.
Just Believe (in you maker) in yourself

Shalom :prayer:

:hug: bless your heart.

seek and ye shall find:
all these things you see in me, put into practice.

being addicted to something is a struggle of will. get help. doctors will either help or refer you to the needed help and support. then, practice what you are learning/ where the Lord wants you to walk. ~ love dee

I feel like Im in heaven, but of course, it's all deception. How do I make the true God my 'ecstasy' of my life?

hey OhhhChung. My name is Norm and I am one of the Recovery Mods here and I want to welcome you to the Recovery Forum. :wave:

You said already one thing so very true- the high or heavenly feeling you get from the rush is deception.

Allow me to ask: do you feel your addicted? could you stop and walk away for good?

You ask what can you do. The first thing is you making up your mind that you have a problem and need help. Next thing is get to a meeting.

Step 1 - We admitted that we were powerless over our addiction, that our lives had become unmanageable.

"I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out." (Romans 7:18)

If you dont know of where one is in your city, you can go to the web site and look it up: http://www.na.org/

If possible, I suggest you look into Celebrate Reovery, a christian based AA/NA Recovry/12 Step Program

http://www.celebraterecovery.com/

go to the link, click on canada andf your provionce and then look for your city. I really recommend the program. Its kinda like a AA/NA church service! with testimonies, music, worshiping, sponsor program, people that will care and help you and PRAY for you, etc.

I never did ectasy but I done just about everything else. I been clean for 4 yrs now and sober for 3.

I really suggest you get to a meeting, look in the phone book, if theres no Celebrate recovery, call around and see if a church as an inhouse recovery ministry. Or if there is nothng else available, go to a NA meeting and ask God to send someone your way to help you. But go and get help.

You need to talk, got questions, I am a PM away.

Hi, my name is Norm and I am an alcoholic and addict.

welcome to Recovery Forum! :wave:

I've been struggling with E aswell. It can be easy to get carried away with it. It feels amazing and all, but after you've done it enough, you can tell the toll it takes on you physically and emotionally. Unfortunatly, it open me up to all the other bad stuff out there. I'm praying for you, don't fall into the same trap please :(

OhhhChung & Constantine, you are both so young, take some time out and think about things for a while, it's so sad that your lives can easily get messed up in the seedy life of drugs, im 37 now been clean of E's and other drugs for the past 7 years I only sat down last night and cried to myself asking God to help me forget the scars of my past, ever since I was 14 years old I got messed up in things, and drugs have always been a major part of my problems, It's not easy to stop doing the drugs, I know all about the highs and the lows, the lies and deception. I never really found out who I was until the drugs stopped, my life was hell, don't mess your's up I beg you both to think long and hard about the way you live, you are precious your so young, life is so much better than E's 'n' wizzzz, don't mess it up like I did, when I look back to my past I could cry every time, don't let this be you, you have you whole life ahead of you, I will pray for you. With Love in Christ...........Mark..

hey everybody. to be perfectly honest, I havent taken an ecstasy pill since precisely october 28, 2007. even though it's tempting to go to a drug dealer Ive just stayed away from it. Ive probably done only done like 2 weed joints and 3 bottles of alcohol since that date and Im not thinking about increasing those small numbers unless I get carried away, but my willpower is still here. Im just being honest and I believe all of yalls prayers helped me out, Im not kidding thanks
