Just ran into my old heroin dealer downtown. Was exiting an establishment and basically came face-to-face with him. It was a terribly awkward conversation, he tried putting the heroin in my face, he was flanked by his usual girls who tried to flirt with me, and so on. I excused myself from the conversation and took off on foot, not tempted at all really, just feel awkward. C'est la vie...

Oh, red, that's bloody dreadful. Well done, you, on not giving in to temptation. I've just sent you a PM a few minutes back. I see you're exercising n stuff. Sounds like you're doing ace with your recovery. Well done.

Yeah NYC winters are brutal indeed. But, the city is just so damn awesome that it makes it worth it. And, NY in the winter can be quite beautiful.

No doubt! The best years of my life were in NYC. I still visit once a year because most of my friends are still out there. The only difference is that I am getting to know Brooklyn now...when I lived there I lived on the Lower East Side, and everyone just came to me! NYC is really spectacular in the winter.
 
Life is just ACEEEEEE!!!!!
I love being clean... Got shelter, fantastic daughter, having a nice camomile tea - which is the best.
Well done to us all defeating that demon, addiction another day.
One up to us - one down to addiction
Way to go!
Keep going people!!!!!
 
I've felt fairly triggered all day today. I re-injured my neck and thoracic area of back when that idiot slammed into my car with his van the other day. That's where my chronic pain happens to be. Any opiate dependant person here knows the exquisite torture that I'm talking about--for me, opiates and physical pain go hand in hand.

354 days ago I would have gone straight to my dealer this morning.

All day I've kept the same mantra going in my head: "everything changes, everything ends." It has a slight air of darkness, but when I apply it to physical pain, or urges to use, it is more comforting than almost anything else.

You didn't go to your dealer n that's truly ace. I'm really sorry that you've hurt your neck n back. Those are painful areas n I feel for you.

Please keep going, Zwanya, you're getting there. As I said above the fact that you didn't seek out drugs at a time you had an ace excue to. That shows how much you want recovery.

All the very best,
Evey xxxx

How you feeling physically?
Click to expand...

my gut seems to not have fully balanced out yet

The rest of my physical complaints/symptoms I don't believe are related to buprenorphine

physically my body is bulking up like no joke, I can tell that buprenorphine was slowing my GI tract down to a crawl and I wasn't eating enough.

Thanks. This is a hard time for me mentally. You're the best evey and Mr. Scag <3 to you both
 
You don't have to thank me that's what we're all here for to support each other. I didn't know you'd still be experiencing symptoms on day 74? That's not good. That's ace that you're bulking up, shows the work you're doing at the gym is paying off. Although it may seem silly, why not have a book and write all the positive things that are happening now you're off opiates? Like bulking up at the gym, that sort of stuff. Then, if you start to experience cravings you can look at these as an affirmation that you're on the right path. Sometimes positive things can be small and the negative things big so we don't really notice them unless we see them written down in front of us xxxx
