For Life?

Been an IV user of oxy and heroin for years and been 4 months clean seeing an addiction specialist.

On suboxone, don't want to relapse and go thru all the w/d, waste of time and money, but looking back still loved the times and I love the dope. Kind of a love/hate relationship although.

Don't see myself quitting pot, don't smoke it that much anymore, but seems as it's something I will do all my life.
 
to be honest lacey, it's about letting it go.. it's just like the many other things in life that are great. however, the things that the opiates can put you through regardless of how rich you are, or how much dope u can get for however cheap, it just isn't "worth it". you'll make it worth it, easily. how can u say no to getting rid of that physical ache that comes with however much pleasure as you please? well, it's alot easier to not think twice when you're in the fast lane. perhaps you won't have to get owned, but for me, the crap that i put everyone aruond me through and myself was so unnecessary.

i think buprenorphine made it TONS easier to "get clean" for me. for one, it isn't even fun. i never made it fun ( never deliberately abused it). i guess bupe is like, reality "on drugs". i guarantee it would be SO MUCH EASIER to at least get OFF the drugs than using oc, etc. am i over it? fuck no, but i have gone a long way (for now) in the aspect of my obsession with the stuff. obsessing comes in tons of ways, from obsessing bout ur next fix, to obsessing about if they'll ever be gone, or if you might ever have to get cut off unwillingly ( shudder). for one, i DONT have to obsess about if ill ever get cut off anymore, becuase im not on one. obsessing about getting high however, it comes plenty. iono, im blabbering , but let me say one last thing.. thinking about if you'll ever stop being in love with the drug isn't very productive. it's only when the drugs take their toll , when you might consider a sacrifice.. good luck :)
 
i dont really have a drug of choice, just which ever one i can take that doesn't produce horrible side affects.
 
theres always a place in the heart & nothing to do with that.
i'm clean for 6 months now but except the cravings it's not getting better, i shoot in my dreams at night....
you CAN learn to live with it, but yea, heroin for life.
''you touch, you ride........''

i will smoke cannabis til the day i die, maybe not every day, but i'll never quit. i will only go on breaks

i second that!
 
i know that no matter how much i say i'll stop, or how ever long i stop using for there will never be a real "LAST TIME" for me.

Opiates will always be apart of me.

even if that sounds sad and pathetic, i KNOW im not the only one.
 
I defintily have a love affair with opiates, maybe forever? The relapse rate for opiate users is huge. What it seems to take to get off them(if you want to) is to find something that you can put all that energy in. Be it work/sex,girlfriend/sports/hobbies whatever it is, but if your not busy doing something than most likely youll fall back into opiates/drugs. Its true "idle hands are the devils playground". As for that always waiting for the fix, and having your life revolve around a drug, whatever drug it is becomes a drag after years. When your not always having to worry about that constant need(getting drugs/getting well) all the time, time and life just seem to go by and be so much better than constantly running on the dopeman's clock. As far as always being a "junkie" Im not sure. At some point I think I might want to quit for good, but I realy dont know if I will.
 
i never thought i could stop smoking weed but that may be changing. i have just bought a condo and because of $ have severely cut down my consumption (1 joint a day on weekdays and 3 grams or so a weekend). i could afford to buy more but i'm trying not to.

it's becoming a fun challenge - i think i would REALLY like to see who i am when haven't smoked in a couple of weeks. (has been more than 10 years)
 
yeah sure you can grow out of X but opiates will always have a place in my heart. Even the few times i have been clean i have thought about dope 24x7.
 
No way, I'm done with IV methamphetamine for good.

Thinking about the years of abuse and close to 1000 injections just makes me sick to my stomach.

It will always be a part of me, but I hate it and everyday wish it never existed.
 
I've totally abused mdma and to lesser extent amphetamine for 3.5 years, up until march 07.

I haven't grew out of it, or suddenly become above drugs, or a 'better' person.

I've been lucky to experience some fucking amazing times, partying, socialising, sex, fun & frolics, mad experiences on drugs.

I WOULD NOT have experienced them without drugs.

MDMA especially *will* stay with me for the rest of my life, if only in memory.

Shulgin I thank you sir.
 
Given the date of this thread I am pretty sure I have already postd here but in case I did not, mine is lifetime for sure. Funny, another drug site I post on, U75, has people claming that while they are addicts, after cessation of use they never again craved opiates/opioids! If so, they are not addicts, clearly.
 
I can't see myself ever taking methadone again just because of the person that it turned me into and because of nearly dying while trying to get high from it. I've been sober for 17 days and all I can think about is opiates.
 
I've abused MDMA too much for it to be fun anymore, but I had fun doing it. Can't see meself doing it again...not for a good few years anyway.

Speed is something i'm not too fussed about either, I enjoy it but only every now and then, if I could never get any again I wouldn't be bothered.

Weed definately till the day I die.

I Hope I never get the chance to do Heroin, i'm a weak person naturally, so i'll get royally fucked up.
 
I'm with all the dope addicts in this thread, I can't stop it. I quit for weeks in june, got kicked out of rehab for talking about drugs too much (go figure..) Bam used the day after I got out, would have that night except didn't have a ride to get it. I didn't have any intention of using when I was in rehab(after the 1st 2-3 days anyway) and I felt so good, they gave me suboxone which made it a lot easier, maybe if I had done it cold turkey and felt the pain I wouldn't have gone back to it, or maybe I woulda ran outta the place like the 1st rehab I went to? I'm struggling with that, like would I stay off it if I had to detox without suboxone, I've never completly detoxed from H without it in the year and a half I've been using iv. The thing that always gets me is I think about how low my tolerence is and how faded I'll get off just a bag or two, and I always figure I won't get addicted again cause I'll be smart enougth to stop before 3-4 days, yeah right...

When I run out of H I dream about it like others in this thread, typicly all the excitment of scoring, very vivid, then I get it cooked about to shoot, suddenly I wake up with the most depressing feeling, like I was almost there dammit!

I really hope to get off dope, but I know its only cause I don't have the loot for it right now,when I get a job again and some loot saved up I know I'll be back at it. I don't really think theres anything wrong with heroin besides the price, chance of getting arrested, vein damage, and withdrawl when not having it. Thats sounds bad but 3 of them could be eliminated with it being leagalized, and vein damage could be minimized with less shoots cause of purer heroin, I imagine snorting it might be ok if it was 100% pure, hell it could be better than shooting the street stuff most people get..

To sum it up yeah i'll probobly be on dope to some degree for the rest of my life, even if I occasionly take little breaks to make my family feel better, satisfy probation requirements or for personal reasons(being too broke to keep up).
The weirdest thing is I smoked pot from 13 till I really started using so much H i couldn't buy both, about 23, so 10 years then I quit cold turkey, its so weird cause I thought I would never, could never quit smoking pot. Then it just faded away. Probobly the only way I'll quit heroin is to detox then go back to smoking pot. Replace one drug with another, albeit a much softer kinder drug that dosen't cause you to go through absolute hell if you don't get it, haha I used to think not having pot was the end of the world... I had no idea.

One last thought, scientists can syntheise sp? 100 diffrent from of opiates, long lasting, short lasting, potent, weak, why can't they make a killer ultra long lasting opiate WITH NO WITHDRAWL WHATSOEVER?? Is that too much to ask? Also the diffrence between getting absolutley trashed and oding should be immense like 1000x times, you should be able to pass out for a day and still breath and the like... any scientists out there ready and willing to make this miracle drug hit me up I got three-fity on it... hahaha

"i plan on being the 1 in 3 people that get glaucoma at some point in their life. I also plan on telling an outrageously fabricated but clever lie to get an unlimited perscription of herb and oxycontin 80's. For life, yo."

expand on this, my grandpa has glacoma so I shouldn't have much problem lying about that, unless that only happens in old age, and you don't get oxycontins for that you get thc drops... I dropped a bunch of them when I was younger, they don't get you off at all... I plan on telling a psychiatrist I have horribe anxiety every minute of the day and panic attacks all the time, which is only partially a lie, I told my old psychiatrist this when i was 19 but made the mistake of telling her my drug history so I only got effexor and clonidine, I tried going to a communty vna type phyciatrist just the other day to claim anxiety and panic disorders but I made the mistake of poping a klonopin and shooting a bag a dope before i went in, I was too fucked to fill in the report and my mom had to do it, when i stumbled on in to see the nurse before the psychiatrist she noticed i was stumbling and nodding out and asked what was wrong, I didn't want to tell her I was on heroin so I said I was on 12 benedryl, then when the auctual phyciatrist came in she read that and suggested I go to the ER I was like fuck that I've lived through this before and ER bills are at least a grand, a grand I don't got and I used up my amnesty/hardship thing on my overdose visit to the er. haha man I was so fucked at that doctors office thing, my mom kept taking the report thing away and i kept trying to take it back but everytime I tried to fill it out I'd nod out and couldn't even write straight, those people in the waiting room must have been like wtf is wrong with this dude.
