chipping after quitting opiates for a while

It's been about two weeks since I've done any opiates (quit a longlasting moderate 40-80mg/day oxy habit). Right after w/d ended I felt fine and not inclined to use or anything, and I was planning on still buying them a few times a month to party with and use before having sex. But in the last day or two, I've gone from contemplating it lightly, to thinking about buying some as soon as I get back into town on Tuesday. Not to relieve anything just to get that feeling back for a second. I'd like to think I can satiate that and not want to do any more for a while, but now that it's getting in my head more and more I'm not sure if it's the best idea. What do you guys think? I'd probably buy a single 40 and do it all in one night, assuming my tolerance is down to zero that will get me fucking lifted. I can only buy them once a week (on Tuesday nights), so I really feel like I can just get one and not have it be an issue, but I'm curious what people more experienced than I have to say.

If I don't go back the sex thing is definitely gonna be a problem. I used to be able to last like 15 minutes in bed or whatever, then the oxy stretched that out to as long as I wanted. Now that I'm off, I can't keep going for more than a minute or two and that's not gonna fly with the special lady. My sex drive is still lowered from where it was before opiates, but I just finish instantly with no control over it now. Any advice?
 
Yeah... don't do it, not even once. Stay away from all opiates forever. In the end, you have already done it and you are not missing anything... except for life. And the problems will get worse and worse even if they get better for a few hours. Good luck bro, don't let it trick you... it has already started to.
 
I tried Kratom once before I'd ever taken an opiate. Is it really all it's cracked up to be? Can you get "fucked up" off it with no tolerance? All I remember is feeling a little off-balance and getting a lot higher from smoking a bowl than I normally would.
 
The feelings that your expirencing are the problem of addiction as a whole. Most of what keeps us coming back is mental. Find something else to fill the void. It takes far longer then a 2 week dry out to kick a habit, trust me. W/D's are just the first step in a long process. Staying sober is the hard part, you have to replace the habit with something else. Using will only compound the desire to want to use. The high will not live up to your expectation, and you will only want more. You are fooling yourself if you think you can use once in awhile and not want it all the time.

You've managed to stop.. Stay away. Don't even think about it.

If your "lady" doesn't understand then she needs to GO.

Everything in that department will go back to normal in a short time. If it's really a problem at the moment, knock one out by yourself a little while before you hang with the lady. That will certainly stretch things out. ;)

You are trying to justify your use any way that you can. (Any addict will do that, including myself.)

So.. to be blunt... if you want to be clean, you've come this far, let it go.

If you want to use and be addicted again, just do it.

You're not going to be able to "do just one" and you'll be back into the same cycle again before you know it.

You need to decide if you want to do opiates or you don't. There really isn't an in between. (as much as we'd all like to believe that there is..)

Good Luck.
 
kratom will work wonders for ya man, especially if your cleaned out. im coming off daily oxy use and havent experienced any horrible w/d. popped 7 15g caps, and some immodium. couple screwdrivers before i hit the bed
 
Just in case anyone's curious, I did three bumps of heroin on Saturday because it was randomly offered for free, got ridiculously high and stayed that way until I passed out, and now it's Monday and I actually feel way less inclined to use than I did before. Funny how things work out that way. It wasn't nearly as romantic and nice and comfortable as I remembered, I just got balls to the wall shithoused, nodding off on the city bus, etc. From a dose that would have barely gotten me high before.

Opiates are a few-times-a-year drug for me from now on.

Good luck with that.

I wish I had the willpower.
 
Imo, opiates should be used for pain. It is difficult for people addicted to pain meds that got started with pain meds just to get high.
