My favorite things to do when I get a chance to get high on opiates are hurry and get as much done that I love doing that I put off when I feel depressed and can't enjoy it. Such as working on my electronics, sometimes cars. When I'm in nodland I feel so great that I can get as much chores done around the house in one day, which would take me a month to do when depressed and just on maintenance opiates.
I also can think clearer and have come up with some great ideas etc in the past in the good old vicodin days. Funny I gotta laugh, when I went to my 1st rehab which sucked in the end I remember my doctor, my Mom and me having a conference and I remember the doc saying to my Mom. Do you notice when your son is on vicodin that he just sits around playing video games or just laying on the couch watching tv? she said, no surprisingly he is very energetic and alot more cooperative with me and does any chores around the house I ask him to do and he feels great, but when he runs out of pills then he is out of commission for a week or so until he gets more pills. The doctor looked shocked and that was so funny and cool how my cool Mom taught him that opiates are great antidepressants.
I then chimed in and said "see I told you they should legalize opiates for depression" well he was an asshole doc and I didn't like him, he just said "yea well that's why you are here because you are addicted" I thought so what, if it was legal and I didn't have to keep running out of pills I would lead a steady productive life.
