Not open for further replies.
I'll introduce myself. The dark side came up on my first acid experience. I don't want to break the golden rule so you'll have to PM me for the details. Anyway, it changed my life and now I see a VERY sober future.
 
^Welcome to TDS acidrhymer :) its a very welcomeing place im sure you wil work thru our stuff and have ample support from here. I ben so slack big welcomes to all new darksiders from the top of the page also. (yes im feeling that apathetic).
BUt welcome still much <3 @tchyas
 
Hi acid! I'm glad you found The Dark Side. I'm sorry/or happy to hear you had such a profound experience that made you decide on sobriety. I am happy because in my opinion, sobriety will bring you much more stable happiness in the long run. <3<3<3 Welcome. Check out the social threads to come get better acquainted with everyone!!!
 
I'm a opiate abuser was a heroin addict for 5 years. Was then clean from 09 to beginning of 2012. And well perscription pain meds have brought me back on the wagon yet again. Its ridiculous how I can have an clean spree for 2 years and then have surgery and get perscription pain meds and it takes me back to the happy place that I once was them few years ago. And now....I can't stop thinking about them and wanting them. Its crazy and I really wanna get the bluelighter thing going here so anyone that could guide me in the direction for me to be able to talk freely or whatnot would be wonderful.
 
You are in the right place, killers, welcome.<3

This is a pretty common experience and i am sure that you will meet lots of people that can empathize with what you are going through. <3 are you using again now, or just craving?
 
Herbavore...thanks so much for your welcoming in. :) Just trying to figure this forum deal out.

Hi killers :) welcome. There are a lot of recovering and attempting to recover opiate addicts who post here so you will find a lot of people who can identify with you. Check through some of the threads. I would recommend the social ones. They are friendly discussions about basically anything that can help you get acquainted and comfortable with other poster. <3 I look forward to seeing you around!

This is, indeed, the mother of all places to sit down and dish =D
 
Hey guys, I go by J... Slowly fell into a opiate addiction at first it was take 1/4 of a 30mg oxy whenever I had some pain that was more than advil would handle because my father, who is a true chronic pain sufferer uses them and always has them so I would get 1-2 And maybe use them over the course of a week, that lasted probably 2 years that way and well slowly but surely I was taking more and more bumming lortabs and taking more and more of my pops pills.... Well fast forward to this month being 6 years after taking my first piece of pill and I realize I'm taking 1-2 30mg a day and when I run out would hit up anybody I could to get me some more ....my dad couldn't get his script filled till yesterday andi had took my last piece of pill I could get a hold of thrusday night when I woke up Friday morning I felt the craving for a pill but didn't have any so the withdrawals started with bad stomach cramps, it's now Sunday and I havent taken anything and don't plan on it ever again.... Well it's Sunday afternoon and I haven't took anything and honestly I don't even want it. My stomach is hurting bad and I have the runs ever hour or so not to mention all my muscles ache but I have a beautiful wife and a 6 year old little boy who mean way more to me than any pill. I also have anxiety but I was diagnosed with that after I had been taking pills for 2 years or so p, so maybe the anxiety has to do with the pill?? I just want to get over this so I can move on with my life and be clean for good! I'm taking .5mg of klonopin when I get agitated or upset, advil for pain and aches and lots of hot showers, pepto for my stomach along with some ginger from the health food store.... I'm just hoping it ends soon because for the last 4 years Atleast I have t gona anywhere without havin a piece of pill in my pocket and my kid and wife deserve a whole lot more than that! I never got the high feeling or felt like I was buzzin I just felt normal and I'm hoping I can find a normal without the pills! I'm 3 days into what I hope is the rest of my life being opiate
free... My wife has started exercising and has lost 60lbs and I'm hoping I can start working out with her soon and start using that as my outlet I just wanna be able to take my wife and kid out and have an enjoyable life without worrying bout a pill which Im honestly not craving or anyhting like that just trying to deal with the psychical pain for now! I'm hoping since I was taking a relatively low dose compared to some others I have seen my withdrawals won't last as long! Thanks for giving me a space to put out my feelings since if you are not or have not gone thru it you have no idea!
 
Hi J, and welcome to The Dark Side :)
I sincerely wish you all the very best with getting clean. It sounds like you're in the right mindset to be doing this right now, and you've got a lot of love and support around you which is very important. Keep us updated with how you're going, there are a LOT of people in this forum who have been through exactly what you're going through right now. Good luck, and take care <3
 
I will reintroduce myself since I feel like I am a different person since joining here. My name is pirates_ and I am addicted to heroin. I started with 2 lortabs a day, and now I am on .8 grams of heroin a day, with that number increasing. I dont do other drugs, I dont smoke weed, drink, do coke, meth, or even smoke ciggs..I also am a cutter who suffers from depression that I have to hide from the rest of my circle of people due to my social status.
 
Welcome to The Dark side :) we offer great support for heroin addiction, and you should also check out the Self Harm Support thread. Or even so come join the social thread and meet everyone in this wonderful community.
 
Hi pirates, I'm glad you've found TDS. It is a terrible feeling to have to hide your pain (and symptoms of it) and I hope that being here amongst people that will not judge will help you gain strength to do whatever you need to do so that you can be free from self harm in your future. Many people here have experience with recovering from self harm and also with addiction to H. I hope that you will jump right in, both in the social threads and the threads people start looking for support, as well as the stickied thread that addresses self harm. <3
 
Hi Pirates welcome :) I too had to reintroduce myself as a new person when I returned to Bluelight almost 3 years after I joined. I am on the other side of the fence this time around too. Last time I was a user now I am attempting "recovery".

Welcome back this time around. TDS is a great place and there is plenty of support and good vibes to get you through some tough times. <3<3
 
I just wanted to say hello to TDS. I am a long time lurker of BL. I would come here to identify some pill I was unsure of or inquire to the merits and dangers of mixing other substances with my DOC. No longer though. I finally made an account and when I stop by BL now I stick almost exclusively to TDS. Today I am 15 days clean and this forum has been a big help. Right there with encouraging words and support anytime I made a post. I will not go on about my personal struggle with opiates here but I have taken advantage of the blogs here and gotten a lot of things off my chest that was very therapeutic. The most recent of which is here; http://www.bluelight.ru/vb/entries/5820-Confession-of-a-Recovering-Opioid-Addict if anyone is interested in hearing more about me. Mostly though I am just posting here to say "thanks" to this community. For myself and others who never make an account that benefit from the conversations of reassurance and support that litter this place every day. The kindness of strangers bound only by a shared disease of addiction is amazing. Even reading the support that people here give to others is very uplifting in a very real way. So again just saying thanks guys and gals for showing compassion for strangers, and please keep restoring 'my' faith in humanity one helpful paragraph at a time.
 
Hey an addict, I've seen you around. It's good to see other people benefitting from TDS the same way I do. I agree so much that TDS contributes a lot to my self esteem, my feelings of self worth and my sobriety. It really has helped in so many ways that I am an overall happier person because I post here. It is amazing to see it does the same for other people as well. Half of that reason is knowing people like you appreciate responses and support. Giving support sometimes also means you are subconsciously receiving support (from yourself also). In seeing yourself be strong and helpful to someone else. It is a pretty cool thing.

<3<3 Please stick around of course and it's been wonderful to formally and officially meet you. =D
