Tweaking Tips from Far and Wide
Sometimes the best advice you can get is from a friend with been-there-done-that experience under his belt. Other times it’s the worst advice you’ve ever heard. Either way, it can help to know what other guys do to use more safely, be healthier, cut down or even quit.
We haven’t tried these tips, nor do we necessarily recommend them. That said, we want to share a few of the tips y’all have shared with us.
Your Tweak Tips:
Grinding and gnashing your teeth while you're high ruins them! Our solution? Head to the nearest drugstore and spend $20-$30 on a dental "Night Guard" or "boil & bite" dental device meant for night grinding or for people with TMJ. Although the damage is done and there's no way to actively STOP the harmful grinding after his binges, our idea has done WONDERS as a preventative measure... buy one even if you're an infrequent user... the cost compared to crowns, porcelain veneers and other repair work will make you chuckle.
Make sure you have lots of peppermint tea and/or chamomile tea handy for the anxiety.
I find it is hard to relax while coming down. A million things keep popping into my head. I have found then when I want to sleep and my body won’t cooperate… Focus on your breathing. Deep slow breaths. If I concentrate on just my breathing, I’m out in 10min. I don’t know if that is the same as meditating.
If you are trying to quit or cut down take a little vacation in the woods. Go camping with some non-using friends. Dealers don’t drive out into the wilderness and it puts some distance between you and your tweaking haunts. Sitting around a campfire with some friends can be great therapy. Smoking weed while you’re crashing helps. It makes it easier to relax and helps the falling asleep part go more smoothly. And it can sometimes give you a little bit of your appetite back.
TRY TO GO AWAY FROM THE SCENE, OVERNITE BY YOURSELF AND DO SOME SERIOUS SOUL SEARCHING, OR DEEP MEDITATING.SEEK STRENTH TO RESIST THE TEMPTATION THAT WILL BE FOLLOWING YOU WHEN YOU RETURN TO SOCIETY. REMEMBER! JUST SAY NO! SO DONT BE TO HARD ON YOURSELF IF YOU FALL, JUST REPEAT ALL THE ABOVE AS MANY TIMES AS NESSARY. YOU WILL GET STRONGER EACH TIME AND EVENTIALLY CONQUER THE PROBLEM! GOOD LUCK.
Best way to deal with the crash (if you can afford it): take a 3-week vacation to an all-inclusive resort in another country and forget to take any tina. You can sleep all you want, eat all you want, and it’s hard to get depressed in tropical paradise with gorgeous men tending to your every need!
Take 5 mg of Valium if you get too jittery. Between 5mg and 15mg will also relax you enough to go to sleep, if needed. Vicodin or Percocet will stimulate your appetite and help you relax if you start to feel bad. Energy bars are a good pick up when feeling depleted. Sports drinks will help replenish your electrolytes.
Make sure you are smoking real dope and not that fuckin cut
Often, when you’re high and having sex, you can’t actually cum. Remember to use lube when you’re going for hours, and that even silicone dries out. The great thing about it [silicone] is, anything wet (even spit) will make it slippery again!
I used to find taking a bath when I was coming down relaxing. I would also put my face under water to help clear the sweat glands of all those toxins.
I’ve found that during a really demanding hike, I don’t totally want to get high… I just kinda sorta want to. Constant movement is the only way I can keep my mind from creeping over to the dark side. The same part of my brain, that likes to fixate on the drug, is the one that I employ while completing a physical, repetitive task. One could argue that this is the case for the majority of the intoxication-prone folks out there. Consider the activities associated with the high: dancing, screwing, rummaging, creating weird art, disassembling electronics. I’d say that this portion of the human brain is a predictable one, and thus there is hope of controlling, or at least containing the desire that, for many users, may appear out of their control. Then again, all that fancy talking could just be the drugs talking. Either way, the point is this: hiking is good, drugs are bad, and I was never here.
If you have never slammed, don’t. And if you do slam, for god’s sake DON’T be the scumbag that tries to get someone else to do it for the first time. Yes, it’s a better high but, “here there be Tygers.” Beware.
Always pack with you a toothbrush and at least one pair of clean socks.
A hot relaxing bath in lavender scented bath oil helps calm you and put you in a restful state. Bring a big glass of water and sit and soak with your eyes closed.
Use your connection(s)/dealer(s) as a silent-alarm to tell you when you’re doing to much; you’re more likely to listen to him/them tell you to “slow down, take it easy”, than a friend or family member when you’ve been tweaking a lot. And they will, out of the selfish reason that they want your business; if you completely waste yourself — loose your job, home, etc., you’re no longer an income source for them.
Take vitamins and potassium and don’t try and stay up all night every night
Don’t email or chat online when crashing cause you are bound to say something you’ll regret and be embarrassed by later.
Remember to eat something every day. Take multivitamins and try to sleep at least an hour or two every 24 hours even if it’s just closing your eyes and resting your body. Doing this keeps you on top of your game and ensures a better high.
