Made it to 180 days clean from IV heroin. Medical Marijuana WIN
What a journey that was. There is light at the end of the tunnel for all you still living to stop kicking. Im just going to share what worked for me. Idk, some might say im breaking the mind altering substance rule but I would not have gotten this far without some really heavy indicas coupled with all the stuff I learned going through inpatient a couple times. My paws went from being almost unbearable to only flaring up time to time to nonexistent.
Mindfulness and meditation can go very well with cannabis and you can probably imagine why. Here's where strains become important. I think the worst symptom I have is anxiety. I am very strain sensitive in that regard. Before I could enjoy any kind of herb, but now after rewiring my brain with opiates most sativas make me uncomfortable. So I stick with indica. Insomnia? Yea, we got that covered.
Part of my paws was diarrhea. Like all the way to week 4 and 5. Imodium saved my life. Once again, weed also saved the day by not only distracting me from my bodies overall shitty feeling but by giving me an appetite.
Sitting on a couch being miserable only works for a couple weeks. Once I regained enough HP, I got the fuck up, put on some Ska Parade with Tazy Phyllipz, and walked a couple miles.
95 days in and I'm feeling pretty damn good. I never HONESTLY thought I would make it out. But this new feel good thing 24/7 is way better than that old shit I thought felt good when I could get it. And whenever I feel like I need to do heroin, I smoke some herb listen to some music and everything feels better.
Oh but now you're dependant on weed!!!! Aha yes but I'll take the title of stoner over just a fucking junkie any day.
