pertanyaan for my fic;

Context: Kay so I'm menulis this fic where Azula is hooked on alcohol and a fictional drug (I'm basing it off of this ungodly hybrid of LSD and meth). At this point in the fic she is in the detox stage. At first I was going to have her go straight up cold turkey on both but I think it would be easier to do it one at a time. Which is where my pertanyaan lie.

I've done a bit of research on my own and found that a lot of the LSD withdrawal symptoms are similar to alcohol withdraw (paranoia, hallucinations, tremors, etc.) There are some similarities between the meth and alcohol as well (such as hallucinations). However there are contradictions which is where my other pertanyaan lie.

One lebih note; the drug in my fic has the trip of LSD and a few of the withdrawal symptoms (like flashbacks to past trips). But it also has some withdrawal symptoms of meth and the duration of the withdrawal is based on it (so according to a few sources up to a few months). Though for the sake of the fic I might cut down that time since it is a fictional drug.

So Questions:

1. How accurate would anda say this research is?

2. Should I have her get one at a time (alcohol first and then the drug)? Is that lebih realistic?

3. If I do both; One of the contradictions is alcohol withdrawal includes lack of appetite whereas meth withdrawal comes with intense food cravings and weight gain. So should I just pick one and run with it? Is there one that will over power the other?

4. If my research is right alcohol detox only lasts about 7 to 10 days. I was planning on having her K.O for the last 2. In that situation is it possible for an addict to wake up without the addiction?

As a side note: going into this fic I had only the knowledge I learned from high school health classes lmao so I was hoping to get lebih opinions. Mostly because this goes beyond a fic. This fic is literally practice for my original story where I will be having a character with a similar issue.

One thing to keep in mind about addictions is that they're really complicated. One of the hardest things about being addicted isn't withdraws atau even really the process of quitting- it's staying quit.
And while there's definitely substances that are chemically addictive-it's a lot harder to quit heroine which is very addictive than to quit marijuana which isn't chemically addictive- addictions tend to be largely psychological as well.
anda can technically abuse any substance in an addictive way (or even behaviors- self-harm is an addiction for a lot of people that go through it.) Azula probably isn't going to wake up without the addiction because so much of an addiction is psychological.

Azula's environment is going to affect this all as well. Why did she start abusing drugs to begin with? Was she trying to escape from something in her life- abuse, trauma, the pitfalls of life? Was she in an environment where she was surrounded oleh substance abuse- she grew up in a drug-addicted household, all her friends are abusers, she partied a lot, etc? If she continues to be surrounded oleh drugs and people that try to pressure her into relapsing, it's going to be a lot harder to stay quit than it is if she's going into a clean environment, atau at least one where people aren't trying to get her to do drugs again. It will also be a lot easier to stay quit if she comes to terms with whatever pushed her to substance abuse to begin with.

As for quitting one at a time atau both at the same time, that's a bit harder to say. It wouldn't be easier to quit both at once oleh any means, but it might be lebih effective. I can imagine trying to quit one addiction while feeding another isn't the most ideal way to deal with it. On the other hand, trying to do both at once would be tough and it's possible she could relapse on both because of the stress.

As for the contradictory withdrawl symptoms, it's probably best to stick one and go with it. Sometimes people experience withdrawal differently, kind of like different symptoms of a disease.

Yeah I was membaca up on that bit too. Staying off of the substances is gonna be one of the selanjutnya big plot points after the detox. The good news (for her lol) is that I've already tackled eliminating the root of the problem. In my fic it was a combo of two things she was trying to escape; her mental illness (which resulted in very poor trips) and her failure at the end of the series. In other words it was a self-esteem thing, she needed something to take the edge off of her self-loathing. That berkata I already wrote a few chapters where she conquers depression (which may atau may not resurface with the withdrawals) and starts to get back some of her pride. She also has someone to support her now. It gets a little lebih complicated though because on puncak, atas her support (Sokka and, eventually, her brother) she also dated her drug dealer so... I think that I'm going to have Sokka be the bigger influence.
