I quit granted it's been only two months but as a junky you know that means something, but i'm curious how many blue lighters were able to beat the demon.
 
Well until recently I hadn't used heroin for about a year but a couple days ago I stopped a 5 day run. I'm on parole or else I wouldn't have stopped.
 
I was able to beat it using suboxone if that counts.....but my life has truly came together for the first time in forever!! I honestly think it was the best thing i have ever done.
 
I don't pretend to have any where close to the habit of some here, but I've been taking hydrocodone on a (literally) daily basis for well over 2 years. I haven't taken any since Monday so I'm 2 days clean now. I know it's not much, but hey it's something. :)
 
I haven't been posting on bluelight for long but iv'e been watching the forum for around 2 years. I been a junkie for 3 years, and this is my 13th day off the suboxone after 7 month stretch. I gotta tell you i'm 23, and i have only one friend left that isn't dead or jail. My best friend is about to get sentenced to five years for selling roxi's to an undercover 6 times, and he also has 5 prior felonies, and he was on drug court. You would think that he would learned his lesson, but he taught me one opiates are too powerful to control.
 
I will never quit, unless im forced to (my supplier dies, etc). I love painkillers too much, they have been the one thing there for me through all of my trials and tribulations... Keep a shootin' is what i say.
 
I haven't quit since first becoming dependant; because I don't want to. Some people do have a legitimate problem with opioids, and I'm willing to do anything I can to help anyone who needs it. But it isn't an across the board if you are an addict you have to be saved from your problem type deal. I am happy with the pro's and willing to accept the con's of daily opioid use.

I completely disagree with this statement. It's a health issue and a lifestyle choice. It is entirely possible to control use of any substance, alone or with treatment if thats what you want. This fatalist mentality of AA/NA that we have no control and ought not to understand only to keep repeating we have no control absolves responsibility.
 
for the last two posts i will pretty much guarantee you've been getting high for less than two years. Fact is few people make is past one year without getting locked up, sent to rehab.
 
This is DC material, but I think it already exists there..

You sound exactly like I used to, but yeah.. You won't be sayin' that if your still using everyday in 5 years..

So are you saying that you accept that you are an addict and if it's not impacting your life in a negative way then it's not a problem? I'm curious because I've had the same thoughts myself and didn't know if there was some validity to it or if I was just trying to rationalize to myself. Every aspect of my life is great but I have occasionally felt guilt over being an addict. But I don't know if I really should?
 
i wouldn't agree that you should feel bad about it. I just see it like this i may be able to get high for a long stretch but there always will be an end. The longer you are getting high the worse that end is going to feel. Because if you think you will be able to keep it up forever you are fucking nutz. Also, it just sucks that you can't sleep over a bitches house without getting your dose in.
 
I beat the demon down but than a few months ago he came crawling out from under my bed again. I hate that sonofabitch you get things going straight and he pulls you back down again. It's best to become friends with him and give him a treat every once in awhile :D

I am almost 23 and have been using opiates (all kinds) since i was 14. One of my family members is a CP patient and i have been doing them ever since he got put on them. I have been a daily IV user (roxicodone) for over 5 years EVERY DAY! You don't know what the hell your talking about dude. i have never been to rehab or any of that shit. I can keep my use to a minimum every single day (30-45 mg's) and im not a complete fuck up like you seem to think every other opiate user is.
 
I didn't quit but I'm a helluv a lot better than I used to be. I used to hit the withdrawals if I went 4 or 5 hours without oxy, now I'm on .5 - 2mg of sub a day and every few weeks or month I'll slip up and have an oxy day. But I'm doin good compared to what I was doin.

Progress not Perfection
 
lol no need to curse we are all drug addicts here aren't we? I was not saying every opiate user is a fuck up either, i maintain a 3.7 GPA at a pretty competitive university. You two are the exception, and you know that. Yea if you ask most of the people here, they are doing well with their maintenance, they are doing fine because they still have the money and/or freedom to access the internet. You are ignorant if you think the majority of people getting high on opiates are successful with this.

I agree that SO is totally full of shit when he says you'll end up in rehab after a year or using..

But stop acting like you IVing pills everyday is a good/healthy/sustainable lifestyle choice 8).

I don't give a fuck what your tolerance is now. Use for another 5, 10, 15 years daily, then come back and tell me your only using 40mg a day and your life is great and wonderful. Not gunna happen, because its not a sustainable lifestyle in the long-term. Anyone who says otherwise is ignorant or rationalizing their own addition.

I'm happy for you, but I'm curious...why are you still here on this forum if you quit? This place is the worst place you can possibly put yourself when trying to stay off opiates IMO, except maybe an opium den.
 
Ha if I could use recreationally I certainly would but I ran into trouble after sustaining a heroin/cocaine habit for a little over a year.

I did about as much jail time as I did using. Now everytime I've picked up I've gone back to jail and I'm only 21.

If I could use without consequences I certainly never would have stopped. I know that I really can't control my using. More power to those of you that can.
 
Ok lets break this down logically. Say you start getting high about once a week for a month and spend 20 dollars a pill (roxi's). Then you start getting high about 3 times a week for another month at 20 a pill. Then next month you get high everyday using two pills a day lets say you get wholesale at 15 a pill. So the third month your spending 30 dollars a day that's about 900 a month. By the end of the year you will probably be doing around 4 pills a day at 60 dollars a day which is 1800 a month. At 1800 a month that's 21,600 a year after taxes, so before taxes you would need to make around 28,000 a year. O yea i forgot rent, insurance, food, and we don't have to worry about clothes since a junky needs to get high before he looks nice. Yes its is absolutely possible.

Now if you live home with your mother yes you can last longer than a year, but your living at home with your mother lol.

If your making over 50,000 a year yes you can do this, but it won't last for long becuase in due time you will need more to sustain.
