You are bored of opiates. You have a headache. You feel like you’re going to be sick.
The headache is an unrelenting tension in your temples, as if your brain is pulsating, breathing, up against your skull. The nausea comes in unforeseeable waves, making you wonder whether you’ll be violently sick suddenly. Your eyes, somehow, hurt. You are completely apathetic right now. You feel and think that you should be doing something, but you don’t know what. You’ll probably just lie around all day, doing nothing, staring at the ceiling, hoping the headache goes away.
YOU ARE BORED OF OPIATES.
You don’t even enjoy the stone. You convince yourself at the time you do – but you know deep down it’s not even one tenth as enjoyable now as it was when you started. You can’t give them up though because you’re addicted. You stay clean for a few days, maybe two weeks, then let nostalgia trick you into dabbling. Even after long breaks you find yourself bored with the experience!
So using opiates isn't fun anymore from a recreational perspective. The negatives far outweigh the positives. How are you going to not let good memories of the experience trick you into believing they’ll happen again if you just give yourself a tolerance break, or potentiate, or lie to yourself that it’s not impacting your life in a negative way?
Perhaps when those moments arrive that you feel convinced a dabble wouldn't hurt, you should read this. Perhaps you should read the sobriety log you wrote up in which you had very unpleasant withdrawals. Perhaps you should look at your life, and the change you desperately need, as something that can catapult you to greater happiness than what you can conceive right now through your blurry, over-opiated eyes.
Don’t be afraid of change. It’s time to be brave. As the saying goes, “learn to adapt and to change, or get washed away like tears in the rain.”
