I did a Forensic Medicine course & my lecturer, who was the Chief Forensic Pathologist for the North-East of Scotland was a very amusing guy. He once told us not to make the mistake some of his previous students had between lying prostrated & the prostate gland. He had a certain way of saying things... Leg... wait for it... end!

Let's hope no-one makes that mistake otherwise mods might find people lining up with latex gloves & lube. Maybe some of them wouldn't mind considering how fond they are of shoving things up their backside! ;)

Best medical student-type tale I recall is some doctor/teacher who used to have the class stand around a cadaver on their first day and say nothing, then would stick his finger up the corpse's arsehole, pull it out and suck it. Then ask the class to do the same. Once people had done so (and apparently they actually did) he told them all that the first lesson of medicine is to observe closely and pointed out he'd stuck his index finger up the arse and sucked his middle finger.
 
^^ Sounds about right. I can't remember all the stories he told us but they were fucking hilarious. I bet they pass them around at their conventions.

I still have the textbook for it at my Parent's house... it's quite the opposite... some rather lovely snaps in it as you might imagine. Being as the two courses were just additional courses for Law Students, we never did get to see any actual cadavers.
 
Haha lets swap it around a bit evey.... and we'll go from there... maybe. if ya lucky

How would you answer your own question?

Well, I'm on 24mg bupe and 25 mg diaz daily so it's kind of hard to answer, I'm not happy being on scripts. However I'm sticking to them (haven't used opiates or benzos on top since getting scripted other than a couple of extra diaz on like two occasions) and have cut out all other drugs now so in that respect I'm kind of happy.

However the reason I'm on these scripts is because I was doing a gram of smack IV, 200mg diazepam, 6-8 cans of spesh, a fair amount of crack and some cannabis on a daily basis earlier in the year. I've done ~15-20 opiate/benzo detoxes in the last 6 years or so and keep relapsing (smoking/injecting lots of cocaine/amphetamine/ketamine along the way). That suggests to me that I'm pretty incapable of controlling my drug use. Things go from a quick dip to absolute full blown desperation very quickly for me. I'm sticking to my scripts but I have little faith in myself not to end up back in the same place again after detoxing from them. I really hope that I can and I'm trying to think positive, I don't want to use because I know where it leads me, but I've felt like this before and look where I am now.

I've cut my drinking right down and on average I'm not drinking more than two or three beers/glasses of wine a night, but I'm finding it really hard to get alcohol free days. I haven't drunk today and I'm about to go to bed so it looks like I've got one today. That will only be the second or third in the last 9 months, but I've managed to get a couple in the last couple of weeks which is encouraging. Next step is to try and get a couple every week, then start trying to string some together. I'm well aware I'm fighting a psychological addiction to alcohol and that if I don't get it under control before detoxing from the benzos/opiods the chances of it becoming a problem are pretty significant.

Make of that what you will, but I guess the overall feeling I have of my current position is that I've totally fucked up again and I've got a lot of guilt/anger/self-loathing because of this but I'm trying really hard to get better. I'm trying to make all the right moves. I'm not happy with where I am but I'm much happier with where I am now than where I was four months ago.

For reference, that would be more or less exactly what my average daily intake was only less on the benzos and I suspect a helluva lot more on the crack - dunno what you define as "a fair amount" but I know I'd've been spending a grand a day if I'd had to pay actual cashmoney for all of it. I was on methadone rather than bupe at the time too. And anything else that happened to be in range but mostly gramme or so of IV smack, more crack than I like to think about, up to 6l of strong white cider a day, whatever benzos were around (I learnt early on benzos are not such good things to take lots of daily and is perhaps the one lesson I properly learnt early on and stuck with (mostly)). Sounds like we have (or had - bit of both really) rather a lot in common.

As I said above, I'm not entirely happy with it all but I do think I've come a long way. I doubt there is anybody on this Earth with less willpower than me. It is possible to get back out of even the biggest holes no matter who you are or how many times you've fallen back in before. Not that I'm out of the hole by any means but daylight is visible most days and that's as big a surprise to me as it is to anybody else. Sounds like you're doing exactly what I did - deciding to actually just stick with the scripts for a while. It does work. It ain't fun nor easy but it does work. Eventually. I'm pretty sure if I'd stuck to mine just a wee bit longer before deciding I was clearly better cos I was so very sick of bloody scripts and also not interested in going back to previous lifestyle I'd be out in the sunshine instead of just below the rim peeking up. I forgot to factor in the social side more than anything else. Didn't have things properly in place to fill all that time and to give me things to interest and inspire. I'm sure I'll get there in the end - I'm certainly not going back to full-time junkydom - but I do wish I'd listened when my docs and drug counsellors advised me to stick with maintenance for longer and not worry too much about tapering. Funny how things change - they seem to want quite the opposite for everybody now. Or at least have been forced into saying they do :\

Good luck with it - it really is doable if you want it <3
 
With regards to the crack, it was usually a gram to a gram and a half a day. Like you say though, really the intake is basically controlled by available funds.

I'm not sticking with the scripts, I'm detoxing from the bupe at the end of this month and the benzos some time after that. I want to be clean for the beginning of the next academic year. I'm considering a naltrexone implant though which will hopefully have the effect of being on a script without the hassles of being on one.

Last night: Courtney Love at Manchester Academy. Followed by dancing wildly to cheesy 80s music and snapping selfies in the bogs in Via. Spent rest of night in a cheap hotel room, after nipping out for a little toke in the car park. PiC (tm) was unfortunately too ill to attend, but I wasn't wasting tickets already booked .....

For my next trick, I am going to try running in heels while wearing a rucksack .....

Glad you enjoyed yourself. :)

I very nearly passed you in the crowd then, as I was due to pop next door to collect my Swans tickets but ended up deciding against it due to the number of people in front of me. That and the knowledge that at least three of my ex-girlfriends would've been in attendance.

Me too. Actually a bonus (potentially anyway) on the kneeling aspect cos you're less likely to have him kneeling on your toe.

Perhaps unsurprisingly (or perhaps surprisingly for that matter) I have only worn heels the once. That was at school for some drama thing we did and all I can say is I totally sympathise. Those things are a frikkin nightmare to walk in. Damn near broke my ankle trying to walk down a flight of stairs and required frequent assistance to not topple over. They must take some practice and lawdy are they sore on the tootsies :!
 
Ooooh good point!

And I am surprised it was only the once ;) Your school drama classes sound much stranger than ours were...

But yeah they're a nightmare. I have like one pair for weddings/formal do's and they get taken off the second everyone is drunk enough
 
All I remember of the reason why I was dressed as a lay-dee for drama was that we had to make up and act out an advert for something and I got to be the woman cos there were no actual girls in my group (was that kinda age) and I was the best at doing Monty Python Pepperpot voices. I was not a pretty lady nor an elegant one but I was a lady for a day.
