I have dreams off and on about crack. It drives me insane and I get in a bad mood the next day and wake up craving. I havent used sense June 2007. This week I have been going crazy with anxiety and depression and I dont know why but I have had the urge to just take a vicodin just to relax me cause I felt like I was gonna have a panic attack. I didnt take it though cause I was wanting to take it for the wrong reasons. I dont know how to relax myself. Any suggestions?
do you have any support besides this site? another drug to abuse is definately not a thing that'll help.there are several herbal remedies out there chamomile tea is very relaxing and there are chinese herbs- one I used to use had peone root . as far as the dreams-I haven't used crack in 9 years and I still have dreams about it occaisionally-but the new thing is to realize they are just dreams-your brain is still restructuring the wreckage that crack did.I now have the serenity ,sobriety and peace I never could have imagined even wanting or imangining possible.so please keep posting to get your feelings out.and by the way congradulate yourself for going so long without it.few recover from this particular drug-very addicting physically and mentally.
Hello Faith!
i recovered from crack cocaine too.
have you ever tried meditation?
It is a great way to relax.
You can google "guided meditations" and then choose one to try.
it is a matter of finding the right one that works for you
i have several i do and I swear by this.
for relaxing
so shoot for the relaxing one s first and remember practice makes perfect, have to continue doing it daily but it should offer you immediate help ..
Exercise is another good one for stress and depression
even just walking that has helped me a lot too
