I go to Philly a lot
How come? Are you not using currently? Sorry if you've been over this, I'm new to actually joining the conversation here. Anyone else around from the nyc area?
Bars will do that to you. And if you dont quit you will jyst get fired anyways. Lol
I always find it funny when I see someone write about their "first time" and they remember EVERYTHING! man, all these drugs havent fucked up your brain/memory!? I could NOT TELL YOU when I first tried dope; not even my first time shooting it. I dont remember the first time I got high or anything; I was already addicted to pills before moving to dope, so its not like it was anything new, but have NO MEMORY WHATSOEVER of the time I bought or first shot.
anyway, I hate when I take a suboxone in the AM and later that night I get my dealer calling me for a deal, or bump into the wrong person, and end up buying a G and fucking wasting it. I hate 8MG bupe around 11AM today and already shot through a G of dope since 9PM and feel next to nothing. yes, SLIGHT rush on the 2 shots but NOTHING after.
Oh my gosh, I haaaate that. Not having shit for the morning IS scary. Its not a good feeling. :S I know what you mean when you say you don't wanna go to bed for fear of what awaits you in the morning... iiiiick.
I have a shot for tomor morning then tomorrow night. Then I'm going to switch back over to suboxone. At least that's the plan. I just don't know how I feel about that. Heroin just feels so good. Sure, the game sucks... sucks the life right out of you.
Anyway, I'm waiting for a friend to come over with a fair amount of coke.: Gonna IV mostly. He can't hit, though so I have to... which makes me a little uncomfortable. Its a little late on a Thursday to be shooting coke... I hope I get enough sleep to function at work!
I haven't had dope in 7 days. I have just been smoking weed for the most part. Though I have taken 1mg of Xanax 2 times this week. I thin that's pretty damn good myself. Quitting my job was the best thing I could have done for my mental health. I'm just not ready for a 40 hour week job and the pressure that comes with it. I'm gonna find part time work and keep on doing therapy and methadone. I've decided that my recovery needs to be on my terms and my timeline. I'm blessed that my family is on board with that.
I know I'm still probably on the methadone pink cloud a little bit because I still feel it when I dose everyday. But it is so much better than my experience with suboxone. Not only do I not have cravings I actually get the warm glow feeling I never ever got from sub. I may change my mind later but so far methadone is the best treatment decision I have made since I started opiates.
I totally agree with you about the rules being very unrealistic. I'll never get take homes because I smoke weed. The part that really bothers me is the cost. It's 16 dollars a day here which adds up to more than 5 grand a year.I wish methadone would have worked for me. One of my cars blew up when I had been on MMT for about 6 months. The stupid clinic I went to would not give take homes under any circumstances before 6 months even though I had IDF screens each time, went to counseling, proved I had a family and had to drive at least 45 miles each way to get there before they shut the clinic down at 12:00 P.M. When I missed three days in a row, they cut my dose down drastically and then put me on AWD. Oh my gosh, the fucking absolute hell that ensued was enough to scare me into trying Subutex and doing whatever I could to stay clean. The only thing Subutex didn't do for me was stop the cravings and the grimy bullshit thinking (what family member can I lie to get money, how do I get my doctor to up my script, etc). I still shot dope while on Subutex as if I'd never stopped. Methadone actually helped me stay away from dope. It helped me get my life back together. The strict rules, though, were a joke. That might be fine to someone not working or single without kids but not a woman who, at the time, had a husband and 3 children to care for.
