What I mean is like if I take kratom 3 days, then hydrocodone 3 days, then maybe day off, then 2 days oxycodone, then 3 hydrocodone, then maybe 1-2 days off, then 2 days kratom... you get the point. But no one substance daily usage i like opiates but im not into being a only this guy or only that guy it seems like when ppl decide to have a drug of choice it increases their chance for dependence.
 
Opiates are opiates doesn't matter. If I knew how to use without catching a habit I would tell you.
 
This is true...your body just recognizes that they are an opiate/opioid..it doesnt differentiate as long as they are hitting that receptor. If you use them as frequently as you suggested above you will become physically dependent and experience withdrawals when you stop.
 
ahh ok. well ill settle it down. itll help my medicine last even longer anyways lol. Ill just take it easy I wont start the habit of always thinking about them. thought i was onto a opiate addiction loophole haha but ill just have a really big stash for a really long time itll be better anyways better to choose not to do it often while i can than to choose a methadone clinic lol.
 
if your trying to kick, its best to switch to short lasting opiates before the day you actually stop. ie. if your taking oc80's, they stay in your body forever because the are extended release. instead, switch to instant release oc30's, for two weeks before you stop, and the length of withdrawl will be lessend by a few days (becasue the irs leave your body before the ers). im not sure if one gives you more intense wd's, but thats so relative anyways, its hard to say. the length however, should be reduced by going from er's to ir's. methadone in notorious for long withrawl, cuz its so long lasting. if you switch to heroin for 3 months when taking methadone, your wd's will actually be shorter lived. then just follow the thoms recipe, and ball up. you wont die. just keep telling yourself, this will be over, and i could be in jail right now.
 
Shit if that theory worked i wouldn't be in bupe treatment and I'd still be in college. Stay the fuck away from opiates if you haven't caught the fever yet. You'll desperately wish you hadn't if you do.
 
yeah the hardest thing i do every day is not do drugs. definately not trying to say its easy. that said, find out what makes you feel ambition deep down inside, and embrasing those desires will help stand up to the obsession and compultion. and you can overcome it. stopping doing drugs means you start doing something else. find that something else.
 
it helps a bit really; i just quit opies again morphine this time with MXE and it wasn't bad i also used loperamide again
those two are gifts from god honestly

addiction is another story tho and i still have poppy seeds on me and i'm not using them yet so hang in there :)
