I was like that back & forth many times before settling into my current routine. I won't denyIf im off the heroin and i think just today ill use and then it becomes ok today last day before i know it im back on it .
I def get a light physical addiction when I get off my oxy for more then 12 hours. But if needed I could work through it etc but H I doubt itYoure 1 in a million rare user, who can use and put it down after a few days.
I hope i settle im sick of multiple wds every year each one worse then the last one .I was like that back & forth many times before settling into my current routine. I won't deny
One of the things that finally made it 'click' for me was realising I was really fucking tired of the endless withdrawal cycle.I hope i settle im sick of multiple wds every year each one worse then the last one .
each week or each day I get WD lol come on sonI hope i settle im sick of multiple wds every year each one worse then the last one .
It's obviously not a 'brain disease' as there are no neurophysiological processes in the brains of addicts that are in any way indicative of a pathological dysfunction (as there are in genuinely degenerative organic conditions such as Parkinson's or epilepsy). Yes drug use 'changes the brain' but what we can observe are predictable routine neuroplastic adaptations that occur with the formation of ANY compulsive habit ; unless we're talking actual drug-induced brain DAMAGE which is a different matter.The german ethnopharmacologist Dr. Christian Rätsch (RIP) has speculated that opioid addiction is the brains reaction to a natural deficit of endorphins in the body of the addict. The compulsive desire to take opioids is therefore an attempt to increase endorphin release in the body. If that hypothesis is correct, then addiction is indeed not a brain disease as it is popularily believed today, but a natural impulse of the body to get rid of the lack of a certain neurochemical. Since I have absolutely no expertise on this subject I cannot judge if it is valid, but it makes sense to me.
Relate so much to this! Like, I can’t seem to get off it for more than a day even though I want to. Makes life seem boring without it. Mindfuck heroin is!If im off the heroin and i think just today ill use and then it becomes ok today last day before i know it im back on it .
This makes a lot of sense to me because I had depression way before I started taking any kind of drug. First weed helped me balance out and feel happy, but once I tried that first Percocet pill I finally realized that I was always viewing life through gray glasses before that moment so to speakThe german ethnopharmacologist Dr. Christian Rätsch (RIP) has speculated that opioid addiction is the brains reaction to a natural deficit of endorphins in the body of the addict.

I can detox and get through the wd but its the paws that gets me the weeks of depression fatigue and not being a husband or father just one day of being normal thats what gets me back in itRelate so much to this!

Im talking about getting of it completely then back on it being fed up of it and detoxing again we all get wds while on. it you wake up feeling shit but when you sick of it and try to clean up I must have detoxed every few months last year not to even stay clean a monthy
each week or each day I get WD lol come on son
True that. If it was so, sex addicts would also have imbalance of endorphins.The idea that compulsive users are trying to compensate for some innate chemical imbalance is an unproven hypothesis. It's true that mental illness is a common precursor for addictive behaviour, but this doesn't account for the fact that in many of such individuals medications DESIGNED to 'counterbalance' some presumed deficit appear to have little or no effect. I believe more research is needed before we can draw definite conclusions.
Absolutely same here. It’s the mental obsession and PAWS that’s the worst. Seems almost impossible to do unless u have a really good reason like drug court or jail time.I can detox and get through the wd but its the paws that gets me the weeks of depression fatigue and not being a husband or father just one day of being normal thats what gets me back in it
This is why I firmly believe that the medical prescription for opiates (tincture of opium or morphium back in the day) for psychiatric disturbances such as severe depression and panic states should NEVER have been made illegal.It's one of natures best antidepressants (provided you have constant access). Semi-natural anyway.
That's why it's illegal.
It's also illegal because the Nixon crew thought they could attach blacks to the stigma of heroin & criminalize it, so that they could raid & invade minority communities.
I haven't been able to use heroin since 2019. Not a day goes by where I don't think about it & crave it. It is truly my wonder drug. Other equally potent or full agonists can also be just as enjoyable as heroin, with the exception of garbage like fentanyl.
My life fell apart after I lost my heroin connects. Now I just see the world constantly through this grey haze. No more rosey days & beautiful moments. Just pure boredom & irritation.
Yea just the need to feel normal and not depressed and fucked with anxiety when you get it and use everything seems right and relaxedAbsolutely same here. It’s the mental obsession and PAWS that’s the worst. Seems almost impossible to do unless u have a really good reason like drug court or jail time.
Same here. Life seemed So muchbetter when itried 30mg oxycodone @17 years old in 2012.This makes a lot of sense to me because I had depression way before I started taking any kind of drug. First weed helped me balance out and feel happy, but once I tried that first Percocet pill I finally realized that I was always viewing life through gray glasses before that moment so to speak
