Getting off opiates sucks, but it feels amazing to be off everything...Ive been back on Sub for 7 months now because of a 6 week "slip"....My friend has been shooting heroin everyday for 5 years straight now...He kept going when I stopped 2 years ago...He never believed me about the Sub transition thing because it never used to happen to him...When it was getting late in the day and I still hadn't copped and had to work the next day, he's tell me to "just take some suboxone"! I tried to explain to him that it wouldn't work right away and I always held out until I could get some dope, which sometimes didn't happen until midnight on rare occasions!
Now, he really wants to kick the dope but he's scared of just taking suboxone!
Yea I used to be that person. I used to get scripted 4 a day so was quite generous with them. I would help anyone kick or get through a rough period with no money as long as they didn't mind getting it one pill per day since I didn't want them taking advantage of me by gritting 8 for free then selling them to score. Anyway, I offered that to a few people that would never do it even when the odds of them scoring were looking grim, and they would tell me it didn't really help them.
Now I get what they meant although I would give in and go for subs way before some of them would.
