Just curious... I've been shootin dope on and off for about 4 years, ready to call it quits, I think. (LOL @ "I think") Anyone been successful at staying away from it for any length of time? I've been "clean" for a handful of days and am obsessing like mad. WTF. HOW do I keep myself away?... never seem to be able to follow through on my good intentions... :!
 
Really, the only sure fire way is to move to a place where you simply can't find opiates, ideally a place that you don't speak the native language. It really is that hard for most of us...good luck...

When I quit using for a few years, one day woke up and realized that it wasn't getting me high anymore and I needed to stop, of course that was a fluke occurance, but that is usually what happens when some of us quit. No methadone, no tapering...just man up, enjoy the 3-10 days of hell, and move on.

But cutting off your access to opiates is the only thing that will keep them out of mind, at least to the point where you're not thinking about them EVERY time a little boredom creeps into one's life.

Go teach english is Mexico or Russia, something like that...do it for a year and you should be feeling much better about yourself. Yeah, you may slip up when you're close to old dealers/dope spots, but then again you DON'T have to return if quitting is that important to you.

On the other hand, a dope fiend can find his fix wherever he or she is...but if you make it EXTEMEMLY hard to do, you can beat the cravings...again, best of luck!
 
Most people who use dope use it for reasons like bi-polar, anxiety disorder and such....

Sometimes the problem lies in people who are not medicated the way they need to be...

You have to really want too quite and stop, will power is a lot of it... so is having a proper place to Detox..
 
... wish I could just "up and move" somewhere. Problem is, Im sort of a closet user, and I have significant ties here (work, family, etc). I do okay as far as the detox goes, I just have a difficult time staying away afterwards. I go back and forth.... considering another round of suboxone. I've done fairly well with it in the past.
 
I have to quit for a few days at least potential drug test, you think 3 and a half days will be enough to pass? Sorry for being off topic, just worried.
 
3 days should be good... drink lots of water to help flush your system. Unbreakable- At this point, I use because I'm addicted. Like, really. The "fun" part was over a LONG time ago...
 
subgirl if you truely wanta get outta the game and if you got the funds to do it id suggest getting rid of ya cell phone and then moving somewhere else than detroit. get yaself a fresh start. as far as getting thru the wd search around OD here for a guide to ease things abit. unless you are truly committed to staying clean unless you move out of town i dont see you getting clean. you could argue that getting outta town isnt neccesary but i stress that you hafta be 110% commited to being clean if you dont plan on moving outta town. being in-town will provide you with all the triggers we need to decide to use again. i wish you the best of luck. have you considered going to the methadone clinic? i recently went back a few months ago and my use of dope has dropped alot. allthough i will get a fat shot after a hard day at work to alleviate my sore muscles.
 
why transfer from heroin to synthetic heroin ? same shit

both cost money
both take time to get
both make you sick when you do not get it

Upside:
Government sells it to you so its okay to do

and i almost forget the kicker the with drawl from synthetic heroin is worse than from the dope

H is such a bitch to quit, right now I know I have a potential drugtest in a few days but if I had the oppurtunity would probably end up using anyways. I've stayed clean for up to 6 months and went back to it, that whole 6 months though you bet your ass I was thinking about it a lot. I guess what really actually helped for me was filling in the empty voids in life with new hobbies or old hobbies you neglected due to your using.
 
this type of advice generally doesn't go over well on bluelight, but have you considered an NA meeting? instead of running away to some far off land and trying to pretend you're not fiending for dope, maybe it would help to have some support from people who are also trying to stay clean. i used to have a massive drinking problem, and while i'm not much of a program person these days i found AA really valuable during the more difficult and lonely periods of my 'recovery'.
 
howd you come to the conclusion that methadone is synthetic heroin? the 2 are nothing structurally alike. methadone is gunna be 10 times cheaper than a dope habit everyday, one could easily go 2 days without dosing and for alot of ppl a maintenance plan is the only way to go about treating a habit if you have any type of career that requires you to be there everyday meaning you dont have the luxury of skipping out 3-7 days to go thru wd and then feeling like shit for another month atleast which makes you not perform at your optimum production and placing your career in jeopardy cause you aint up to snuff. took me a total of 3 days to get an intake appointment at a clinic, and if it was a suboxone appointment prolly quicker than that. the added effects of reducing cravings so you dont relapse is a huge advantage too. saying that opiate replacement management therapy isnt a viable option to kicking a dope habit is ignorant.
 
Wish I knew the answer suburbangirl. Unbreakable is onto the right point, tho. It is about addressing the issue(s) in your life that are causing you to use. I have been on dope for years now. I do it to escape from the pain. Wish I never started because is is really just a vicious and ugly cycle.

For me the physical withdraw isn't the worst part. I mean, it sucks, but the empty feeling is what gets me to go back every time. Unless I am on dope, I am completely empty. I cant get past that empty feeling. And everyone else is right about being 100% committed to getting off of it. Thing is, I know what i need to do. I know what the source of my pain is, and I could probably go to a suboxone dr, get the script of subs, and then couple that with a psychiatrist, and I would probably be a lot closer to beating that "emptiness" that comes with being off dope.

Best of luck to you sister, Anyone who successfully gets off dope becomes a better person. I hope one day I can get there, but im not 100% committed yet, and like everyone is saying, that commitment is key~
 
i was just a month clean and for me it was rather easy..almosy cheating

i spent the month in county jail lol
 
lol chinky that's how I got clean, was in for 100 days then managed to stay clean another 5 months, it wasn't easy and I wish I would have stayed clean.
 
Lol. I always seem to get clean through some sort of "divine intervention" as well. Jail will do the trick. Chinky- how do you feel being back "out?'' Ever had any thoughts of quitting for good? I get em on and off... today Im sort of stuck in the middle, telling myself that I oughta just accept the fact that Im a dopehead and make the best of the "on again-off again" routine.

Don't do that. I'm a dopehead too. There's hope. Suboxone helps some. I wouldn't recommend Methadone, but sometimes if you just can't stay clean, it can be a godsend. For some people.

I had to move. When I can make a call, and have what I want within 10 minutes, staying clean is not happening. Unfortunately, I realize that's not a possibility in your case.
Getting a new cell phone, and losing your dealers numbers can help. I'd get back on Subs. Sometimes it even takes some drastic action.
At one point, I purposely burnt some bridges between myself and a couple of my main dealers. To the point that they wouldn't serve me. That worked for a little while. Until I found new ones8).
I'd love to say I fucking hate NA/AA, and never go. The truth is, I know when/where the meetings are around here. Sometimes when you get one of those spur of the moment cravings, it can help to steer the car to a meeting instead of to the corner, or dealers house, etc. Not everybody there is just looking to swap stories. There's some helpful people.
It's fucking tough. But if you want it bad enough, you can keep yourself clean. Good luck to ya.
