Goal: get opioids/opiates out of my life altogether.
Timeline: I want to be able to travel, sleep, etc. without any opioids/opiates in 5 weeks... September 30 weekend. I have a trip planned then.
History: I've been smoking pressed "blues" for 6 months, recently (last 2 weeks) going down to 8-10/day.
My War Chest:
Me: I'm in my early 50s, using opioids/opiates on and off for 12 years. Too old for this life. I'm tired of waking up, having my first thought be "I'm using again. I have to go out and find a dose." My dealer died two days ago. He was a coke user and someone gave him "coke", but it was mostly/all powder fentanyl. He had no tolerance. I saw his body on the sidewalk. He lived in a tent downtown with his girlfriend, and I don't know if Narcan was administered when he was in distress. I've got to get out of this life.
Thank you very much. I appreciate you if you, reader, and I appreciate this forum.
