Hi

[Jake6616]

Hello everyone my name is Jacob. I'm new to bluelight and don't often post in forums. I am a heroin addict trying to stop. I've been on just about every pain pill imaginable and also tried the methadone clinic. The clinic wasn't for me and I hate to go back but I can't keep shooting heroin everyday, for one I can't afford it and secondly I know how ashamed my family must be. I've gotten about 48 hours clean and basically need some kind of support or even just to talk to someone who has been in my shoes. I really just want to get through the worst of the detoxes without using. Feel free to comment or message me with any advice. Thanks

Hey! Yep, been there done that. Been on the opiate train for over a decade now and started shooting heroin about a year ago. I've got 96 hours, as of right this minute, clean. I was shooting while I was taking methadone at the end. I got tired of the hustle it takes and just quit cold turkey. Get yourself some Imodium. It will be your best friend and try not to get inside your head too much. It's hard, but getting outside, weirdly, makes me feel better. Go for a drive, listen to music, anything to keep your head right.

Hello! Welcome to Bluelight. Congrats on getting through the first 48. Keep doing what you are doing. One second at a time.

I haven't ever played with needles but I have my fair share of friends and family that have. Most are dead or despondent. The best thing you can do is stop. Go to meetings, surround yourself with others that aren't using, pick up a hobby (music, art, writing, jerking off, it does not matter, just anything besides coping and dope).

Read through these forums, put your story out there, talk to others here. Good luck you can always pm (private message) me if you feel lost here.

Last time I went for a drive going through oxy withdrawal I ended up at my "pharmacists". I would suggest against driving anywhere without a destination. But getting outside, parks and what not, is probably good.
