^I'm pretty sure we have at least one thread (not a sticky though!, that's what the Personal Accounts of Addiction is IMO) that discusses successful attempts to reach sobriety, I DEFINITELY have seen a few of these threads dedicated to this subject over the years but we have a lot of stickies and I think that the fact that these threads are so hard to find should also send a message, if we stickied success stories here, not only would we have too many stickies and redundancy, IMO naive people would take it as further proof that they too can beat a future addiction to hardcore narcotics, and I don't want anyone to feel reassured that "the one percent" represents the rest of the ninety nine percent of us who suffer from addiction. I'm sure many of us especially poly drug abusers, have beat certain addictions, but are you completely sober today? Were you able to turn your life around and reach the potential you never even know you had or could have had?
I dunno, I think that it's good to know it CAN be done to inspire those of us who desperately wish ourselves to be free of this misery, but although a much much different environment, I feel that the Recovery Forums were meant to be the place to go primarily for this type of help. If people need examples on why they shouldn't be abusing drugs, OD has more proof than they could ever get through even if all a person did was sit here and read every single post in OD since it's creation.
The detox-- yes!!
and... Make an opiates thread
All due respect, but take a look at every single thread on the first few pages of OD, and then come back and explain how making an opiates thread in any way would help people find the answer to their questions more efficiently and safely.
Bear in mind that we have dedicated threads for every single kind of opiate, even the different formulations, for example OxyContin megathread, Roxicodone Megathread / Oxycodone IR Megathread, it is already so repetitive and no one bothers to use them anyways, so yeah, how would bringing dozens of clusterfucks together into a reduntant megaclusterfuck is beneficial to HR?
