Well y'all, I finally decided to join Bluelight after many years of referring to to answer many safety questions and curiosities I had about various things in the drug world. Ironically, it wasn't until I majorly toned down my drug use that I decided to join up on this website. I used to be an insane, push to the edge of courting death polydrug abuser 8(, but now I enjoy just some mild recreational use, hence the name "retired trashcan" Though I guess it ought to really be "semi-retired trashcan" ;) I have about 25 years of party time experience behind me, and I just decided I wanted to be able to participate in all the interesting discussions that go on here, as well as post the occasional thread of my own. I look forward to becoming a part of this cool community. Namaste RT %)

I will be in touch with you soon.
 
Thank you to to all that have welcomed me, and for the great advice and links. Like I said, I've used BL for years to get info on this and that, and how to stay safe, and learned a lot. I figured it was time to join, and I'm glad I did. And yes, I should be able to bring some good experience and knowledge to the table. I've lived a pretty wild, experimental life the last 20 years or so, and learned a lot. I tend to do a ton of research on the stuff I get into, and I will be more than happy to share what I've gleaned over the years. I'm also eager to learn more from those who have experience in areas I'm naive in. :? So, I'm happy to have found a community I fit into. =D Oh, and @GodandLove, I'm glad my SN amuses you, although I think I'm going to have to change it to "semi-retired trashcan" since I still like to experiment a little bit, LOL If anyone else wants to welcome me and/or give me some more helpful advice, that would be awesome. Peace, and party on dudes and dudettes! %)
 

:D looks like you're settling in well. And you seem very pleasant.
Have you checked out the NMI social thread? Sorry I'm on iPhone so can't give the link but it's a thread on this sub-forum. It's basically a place for both Greenlighters and Bluelighters to go n meet other members, who go to different sub-forums on the site.

Take care

Thank you Evey, yes, I am still exploring the site, and as a general rule, I am quite pleasant, and reasonably knowledgable about phamaceuticals, OTC's and basic street stuff, as well as what to mix, what not to mix, and how to get off of and out of the 'mess' if one wants to. I appreciate the welcome. =D
 
Hello. I was looking for a group that could possibly help get me through these next couple of weeks. I have decided to ween myself back down to the amount that is prescribed to me of which is 10 mg oxycodone. Been taking for a year along with lyrica for back issues and fybromyalgia. Quite frankly i have grown tolerant to the medication and my doctor refuses to bump up my medication in mg. So this past month i tried one day with no meds. The next with meds. I went back and forth like that for a few days. Could not handle the cold turkey withdrawals. So i thought weening would b better.

Hiya notinmymnd :)

First of all, welcome to Bluelight. I am unsure what you mean when you ask for a group. There are groups such as NA and AA and I think if you Google them and your area there should helpful be a list of places where they meet but please don't take my word for it as I'm not into 12-step approach. I am also unsure what groups are in your area or any online groups for recovery. However, on this site, Bluelight (BL), there are various sub-forums concerned with various drugs, recovery and detoxing from drugs. I will give you links to these in a second.

You may be interested in the following links

- Other Drugs (OD) especially, The Opioid Withdrawal Megathread
- The Dark Side
- Sober Living especially - June Getting and / Staying Sober Thread
- Mental Health

Hope that they help.

There also an - Adoption Programme which is basically a programme where current members (Bluelighters) befriend new members (Greenlighters) and help them settle into the site. If you decided that you'd like to become "adopted," feel welcome to post a reply to the adoption thread, expressing your interest which a bit about you (if you wish). The thread is also one of the sticky threads at the top of New Members Introductions (NMI) sub-forum. You may also be interested in looking at the New Members Introductions (NMI) Social Thread

I would also advise you to read the - Greenlighter's Guide and the rules known as - BLUA (Bluelight User Agreement) because they protect us members as well as the site. For instance; one of the rules is no sourcing, if a member had not read the rules and discusses sourcing, then they may receive a warning or whatever, and if they had have read the rules, they would have avoided receiving, eg a warning.

Thinking about it, I'll give you links to threads for recovery (sorry, I forgot I had those). Please see below:

- Suboxone/ Buprenorphine Megathread and FAQ V.18.0
- Personal Accounts of Addiction What's Your Story
- OD list of Mega Threads
- Today I am thankful for...
- Exercise 4 Health, Mental Health and Addiction vs. I worked all that out
- June Getting and / Staying Sober Thread
- Creating Positive Change vs. If Nothing Changes, then Nothing Changes

I hope that this information is sufficient and helpful you to. Please feel free to ask for any further information or help and we'll try our very best to help you. It's ace to see another member to the site. I've listed the social thread within the above links. It's a thread where BL members come from all sub-forums of the site.

Hope you enjoy your stay here and have an ace BL experience.

I am glad this thread has pleased so many people, I have definately decided that joining BL was a good choice for me. A great place for me to share my expirience and advice, and for sure to learn a lot more things. I have more questions than advice, actually. LOL such as, 0.5mg of clonazepam really equals 10 mg of diazepam? It sure doesn't feel that way in practice, it takes at least 1 mg of k-pin for me to get the same anxiety relief that I get from 10 mg of valium. So I'm a bit confused. Any takers on this question?
