Okay so I've basically been on opiates for 6 or 7 years. Started on codeine, morphine then for the last 18 months heroin. As to be expected my is turning to shit, so I gotta quit before I loose everything. So today is my first day completely off heroin (I was using low dose bupe with H on top for 2 days, I know that's not how it supposed to work but it made it easier for me).
For work reasons I can't access my local drug services so I'm doing this myself. I'm just not sure how I'm supposed to feel of bupe, I've got no physical withdrawal symptoms which I'm grateful for, but my heads all over the place. It sounds strange but I feel like what's happening around me isn't real, like I'm watching tv or something. I feel very distant I guess. I know what's real, I haven't completely lost it bit I just feel odd. Is it just being totally sober for the first time in ages, I definitely don't feel high off the subs?
Also I know the answer to this question is subjective, but how long had it taken for other people to stop constantly thinking about getting high? I know I'll carry this addiction to the grave but it does get easier over time right? .
Cheers
Zeb
