Any long time opiate users ?

the best times for me were on subs , i would take a couple days every month and use and have subs rest of the time. I'm not saying this is the healthiest, but it curbed the binge using and trying to go cold is a constant fight - ugh i fucking hate opiates dude.
 
i wonder how many ppl can go cold turkey and quit a decent size habit .........................i only know one...........
 
I quit a decent-sized, long-term habit cold turkey. Didn't intend to, of course, I went to a sub dr. and got a script for a home induction. That was a fucking epic failure; went into precip. withdrawals within 10 minutes of taking the sub and rode it out through the brutal precip w/d on into a two week acute w/d and eventually long-term w/d. I'm 81 days clean today. Having a shitty day, but yesterday was pretty awesome. So it goes.

caveat: I had someone to take care of me 24/7 during w/d AND didn't need to show up at work, so I was "lucky" in that sense.

Congrats on sobriety... and good luck! It is worth it. getting that monkey off your back is the best feeling in the world.
 
Since moving to a kibbutz in Israel I've been having the greatest time of my life.. <snip>

I have been on opiates for about 5 years now, really addicted about 3 years and banging for over a year.

Drugs have definitely made life worse. Before I got high everything was fine, I had no idea what getting high was like and I didn't care. Eventually I feel into like everyone else. At first I thought wow drugs are great, I should do them always. Now after 4 years of this I am alone, broke and on the verge of a breakdown and its all because of heroin. Its no fucking joke how destructive this shit is... I never thought it would take me, and it did. I have seen it kill friends, turn friends into enemies and utterly ruin lives...

Its best to just ignore them if you can.
 
My friend made a good point to me today . that one thing that kept me using was the fact that i always thought "if other ppl had my problems theyd be using too" but thats bs because plenty of clean people i know have problems and get thru it w/o using . so i was just justifying my using any way i could
 
The shitty thing I have on my mind is, I might have to have surgery. If I do, I have no idea what I am going to do about post-op pain. After over 4 years of being clean, I am really nervous that they are going to tell me I have no other option.
 
^ ya that fucked me over , knee surgery opened the door all over again. Then sprinkle in life being oh so joyous... ya.

just wondering do any of you maintain a long term opiate addiction and manage to still have a happy life ?
i know for me when i was using it wasnt possible because everything centered around getting more dope , i didnt care about much except how i could get more money for more dope..................
i guess its every addicts dream to be able to use and not have consequences.......only way i can possible think of this is some rich dude who had extremly safe connects and still had a good family , job , etc. But it seems to me for every user eventually it is going to catch up to you whether it is going broke , getting locked up , or ruining jobs and relationships............
any opinions ?
it just sucks because every time im clean i just get depressed and wanna use. its like i permenantly damaged my brain and only opiates make me feel normal .

i feel the same way i been clean for some months now and im happy but i still have cravings and its always on my mind
 
when i was doin dope i was constantly chasing it tryin to get people to get shit n tax them to get more...and it was a daily thing cuz u always need more..and i was to the point to where i didnt really get high i just felt normal i guess i wasnt dt'n
 
i know a guy who has a habit and can go like 12 hours til he gets sick after his last dose. i dont get it.........i would wake up sick after sleepin 8 hrs
 
the higher my habit the longer i can go - w/oxy if I'm past a gram a day I won't be full on sick till dinner next day.

Heroin makes me sick 3 hours after my last dose , it's odd.
 
i dont believe this guy though . he told me at 4 pm that he had done 2 bags at 4 am (12 hours earlier ) and wasnt sick............and he says he doesn 15 bags a day . doesnt seem possible .
 
everyone responds differently bro , I have an unusually high opiate tolerance , most people say I'm full of shit in regards to it. I think because when I use I use SO much it stays in me for awhile so I don't get sick till later on .. (12 - 16 hours) - if i take a sub like 10 hours after a dose I'll instantly get thrown into wd's. So that just shows it is still in there for my body at least.
