Sorry, I was specifically talking about Heroin addicts I've met. I don't have much experience with opioid addicts who abuse prescription narcotics or quasi-legal poppy straw.
I still have cravings for cigarettes, but I don't smoke. Is that not willpower? Or is heroin just so special it's "impossible" not to hold yourself back. You asked me why do people relapse. Umm gee...I don't know, because they give in? And I know all about post acute withdrawl symptoms.
i regularly withdrwl from oc's and loratabs....anyways, i think i've done it so many times that i really don't even get sick anymore, no shit...i can eat 3 oc40's a day for 3 or 4 days strait and the next day i don't have any, i'm just sluggish and depressed, not sick....back when i used to withdrawl from dope, i was a fucking wreck. if i did it at my house, i needed vicodin or some kind of tapering pill or i just wouldn't be able to do it....coming off a 10-15 bag a day habit, i was hospitalized and i didn't sleep for 2 fucking weeks, even with sleep meds...i would be tired as hell, but just could not sleep...not to mention the vomiting and shitting my brains out for the whole first week.
Ok sorry, I agree with you too. I think with heroin there is a psychological boundary you cross where you can no longer live in denial about your use.
This is why its so hard for some people to "graduate" to H I believe, even though they are shooting 4 OC80s a day already. Once they are copping bundles from a dealer that last illusory veneer of legitimacy is gone and they are left with the stark fact that they are an addict.
lol i've read some of these post and wonder if they have ever really went thru withdraw l
i'm sorry but imo it's not the will power cause if that was the case i would of quit a long time ago for me it is the pain that makes it so hard when you cry because your head neck back and legs hurt so bad that you wish death upon yourself and the pain don't go away after a few days it is there for weeks for myself when you stay up for days cause you can't sleep none of that is cause i don't have will power some1 please explain how will power is going to make this go away? please and like i said this is my opinion from my personal uses and withdraw symptoms
i'm sorry but imo it's not the will power cause if that was the case i would of quit a long time ago
^ I agree that once clean, then will power plays a BIG part in your future.
The longest I've ever continually used for was a bit more than a week every day and the withdrawal period for that consisted of the worst two days of my life.
^ What is the success rate of home detox again?8)
