I'm 32, been addicted to opiates over 1/2 my life

Hello to all my fellow opiate appreciators, you are not alone. I don't know one person who doesn't enjoy opiates, whether it's Vicodin or heroin; they just feel good. That being said, I am 19 months into replacement therapy with Buprenorphine & for the most part feeling pretty satisfied just sticking to the legal stuff. I've been free from cravings this entire time until the past month or so, struggling a bit currently- missing the blissful numbness.

Hi there fortheloveofopiates & welcome. I'm new here too. I haven't checked out the recovery forums but it looked to me like there is adequate support in this community in that vein too. I know I will want to connect with those folks. Sorry you're struggling. Bupe has seriously saved me a time or two but I wasn't ever on it for longer than a couple weeks when there's was a gap in getting my script. Well anyway, best wishes, glad you joined.

Hi there to the both of you!

Here is the Sober Living subforum, I suggest you guys check it out!

And @4theloveofopiates, remember that opiates will always be better in our mind than in reality, when people are in recovery they tend to romanticize the lifestyle and to forget the shitty (and by shitty I mean EXTREMELY shitty) parts.
I know opiates feel extremely good but probably not as good as you remember, what with nostalgia and all.
At least for me that's how it is.

In any case, it's not worth it at ALL to throw your life and dreams away just for a fleeting few hours of comfort.

Good luck!

Hey there I've struggles with opiate abuse for years, I was just wondering about the Sub's/Bupe also. I've wanted to look into it for help but I'm scared lol a little not knowing what to expect. Do they really help? What is the feeling you get from them? Do you still crave and so on....Lol well any advice is nice thank you

Welcome I'm new here too just looking for people to chat with. I'm 37 and currently withdrawing from opiates and if sucks. I'm on day 4 but I don't think I'm going to successfully quietly quit.
