I found this site while looking for info on poppy seed tea and kratom. My son told us that he has been using for a year and wants to stop using. He's taking an anti-diarrhea medicine to help wean off the opiates. He's back talking to his therapist and will see a psychiatrist soon with experience in addiction. The forums have been so helpful, understanding opiates and the individual messages from people trying to get off drugs. I can't imagine how difficult it is. I thought quitting cigarettes was hard 30 years ago, but apparently it's nothing compared to opiates. I wish all of you the best in trying to break the addiction. Try to take it one day at a time and don't think too much about the future because then it can become overwhelming. I got through a very difficult treatment for cancer by staying in the present and not thinking about tomorrow

Hi, Welcome to Bluelight ! !
My mom had cancer - it's terrifying watching one go through it. Thank you for sharing about your son - I'm glad he is on his way to a better life.
