My friend's pet dog has had a heroin problem for almost a year now. God knows where dogs get heroin anyway, but this puppy is a wily little rascal. Since most people and animals who do heroin tend to have a smaller habit (i.e., 1-4 points a day), this will apply to them, and maybe even to larger habits. I'm guessing that most people on this forum might have a bigger one, but I figured I would do my part and at least get out what helped him for those who stumble upon this page through google.

This dog told me he was smoking about 2-3 points a day for about 12 months, with a few periods of higher use, and had tried to quit several times but was just couldn't handle CT. So he researched a ton and put together a plan. He acquired (legally, of course) one 8mg Suboxone and one ounce of powdered Bali Kratom (sorry Australians).

On days 1 and 2, he went as long as he could stand before taking approximately .5mgs of suboxone (almost a sliver of the pill). This did little, but he found that it took the restless legs away and allowed him to still go to work for 5 hours without too much of a problem. On days 3 to 5 he took .3. Not wanting to substitute a heroin addiction for a sub addiction, however minute amounts he was taking, he switched to the Kratom for days 6-8, taking about 5 grams in the morning and 3 grams at night to sleep. He is now on day 10 with little to no withdrawals while not taking anything, and it truly is a miracle how easy it was for the little guy.

He thinks it was because he took each substance for a short time, not long enough to build a physical dependence on any of them. He is now completely functional and clean.

He sincerely hopes this plan helps someone.
 
We at Bluelight do not condone animal abuse, although, since your friend's dog can talk, tell him that there's no need to hide behind somebody when talking about their (your) opiate use on Bluelight.

This sort of thing is more appropriate for your blog anyway.

(FYI: We know its you, not your friend/your dog/your friend's dog/etc)
