Hello bluelight, I came across this site years ago as my addiction to prescription opiates and to heroin began getting big. I appreciate all the well educated posts on harm reduction and HR is the main reason I'm here. I switched from heroin to buprenorphine a few years ago but now I'm a daily IV user of buprenorphine, preferably subutex. To keep it simple, I've been a long time drug user, trying just about everything outside of research chemicals and today I'm a daily alcohol drinker, a daily IV buprenorphine user, a daily marijuana smoker and a daily benzo user, mainly klonopin. I also occasionally smoke or inject crack if I have the extra money for it. I enjoy movies, music and the arts and have many hobbies such as music production, writing books/stories, I DJ unprofessionally and I'm learning about making films with hopes of making a documentary. Again, I am new and if anyone has any advice or suggestions for me on how bluelight works and things along those lines, any help is very much appreciated, thanks.

Hey there and welcome to Bluelight. Please read the rules..there is no use of "my dog" or "SWIM", etc. Here. Not only does it do nothing to prevent self incrimination it makes posts difficult to read. In order to get more responses you should edit this out and post in the first person.
 
Wow, 77 days, congratulations Captain H, that's awesome! I've had periods of time where I went back to sublingual use but unfortunately I always went back to shooting it and as for quitting, I tried to fully quit buprenorphine several months ago but I just couldn't take it, I know it sounds weak but it wasn't even the physical withdrawals as much as it was the time I'd withdrawal for and how depressed I would get during that time. Also, just tapering was what put me into withdrawals, I still had suboxone strips but going from 2mgs down to 1mg was what got me feeling like I didn't have enough meds and I didn't have a doctor at the time either so what strips I had needed to last me until I was on what I thought would be a low enough dose to just stop. Eventually I just caved into my desire and found another doctor, especially after I started to mess around with heroin again and I was just tired of living never knowing if I'd be sick or not that day and at least now copping something isn't a daily priority but I live, waiting to get to that day where hopefully, I'm finally 100% opiate/opioid free every day. Again Captain, congratulations, I wish you the best of luck on staying clean.
 
Thanks man.

The withdrawal is painful and long lasting. If you can quit and manage to stay away from the drug for like 2 months, I urge you to try it out.

I am thankful I let myself suffer from December last year till well about a few weeks ago.

As the Buddha said, don't ignore your suffering. In doing so, we neglect our inner selves and this leads us to more suffering.

My analogy: let the clouds rain so it can be sunny again.
 
100mgs Daily? Damn, that's a lot of buprenorphine! You must of been determined to quit if you jumped from 100mgs all the way down to 15mg all at once. To here you were able to totally quit using buprenorphine is a seriously impressive accomplishment Captain H!
