My birthday just passed (yesterday), so I indulged in some H. Gone overboard, had a great time and still left with 2 fat shots. Used all of it this morning so...I've been nodding hard at work all day. Working as a programmer and nodding on your keyboard is a pretty fucked up picture. =D

My bad. 8)
 
Thank youuuu! %) It was a really Happy birtHday...=D

I won't add that I did the second shot in the bathroom at work, that I threw up at least 5 times since I got here, that I have a persistent, day-long hiccup which just won't go away or that I look like plain death. Neah, I had sooooo much fun yesterday that all this doesn't really matter. :)

Now off to my happy nodding again, I'll be anxious tommorow to check how the Python code I wrote today looks like...ROFLMAO.
 
Hey Peeps just got out of rehab for the 3rd time due to my mom being an ass! Can you say high as shit right now? cause I can!
 
Yeah I have my own place and my mom called the cops because I was high on benzos because I called her and was talking all kinds of messed up haha. She is very invaisive and can be a real pain. I am 18 years old just get off my case ugh parents
 
Yeah im fortunate in that my dads always been really understanding and supportive (although not at ALL enabling) since he used to be a heroin addict and a dealer of pretty much everything (25 years clean in dec) so he knows the whole 'never gonna get clean til im ready to' deal. And whenever i am ready, ill have an amazing resource in him which is pretty rare to have (a family full of addicts who all managed to get clean after years of ridiculous amounts of drug use) especially when it comes to opiates (the stats are pretty dismal).

You're right; the stats are kind of slanted against us, but I got clean and have stayed off heroin for years now. :)
 
Props to you, thats fucking awesome. Its nice to hear it actually happens, in rehab they had a statistic that something like 90% of heroin addicts will never remain fully clean for the rest of their lives (as in theyll be on methadone, subs, or relapse on heroin or other opiod painkillers). Which is not something that inspires much hope. While im definitely not ready, its still nice to think that maybe one day ill be free. When half your life (and entire teenage and adult life) have been spent under that cuddly blanket of heroin, staying clean seems like a scary prospect i guess, but not as scary as staying a slave to it forever.
 
I hope to quit buprenorphine one day, but I would rather maintain on buprenorphine and be functional than to potentially relapse if I was forced to quit. That's how I like to think about it. :)

75% of people relapse within 6 months of quitting, that is another common statistic. However I think it's important to remember that relapsing once doesn't mean you're doomed to go back to being dependent on opiates, it's all about knowing how to say "ok, I slipped up, and it's time to go back to being clean again..." and that will make sure you stay clean. :)

I have done heroin a few times since quitting but have not gotten re-addicted and don't feel the need to ever use it again. (That's what I consider being clean, not being dependent on it at all)
 
Yeah, that sounds like where id like to be a few years down the road, although hopefully not on bupe maintenance (although id definitely detox with it and maybe even take just the straight naloxone), didnt have much success w/o it but then i wasnt ready to be clean on my last stint in rehab, it was purely for my probation officer. Keep it up, hopefully one day ill be on the same path as yourself and my dad (and mom and aunt and uncles and grandfather and cousins haha)

My personal opinion is that it's better to get it out of your system while you are young. Mostly because you don't want to get older, successful, and then get addicted. At that point, people generally don't have their parents as a part of their support network anymore, and if you've gone from being successful to a full blown addict, you can go through a huge amount of personal savings on drugs.

Whereas if you "get it out of your system" while you're young, you don't have a HUGE amount of money to blow on drugs (well at least I didn't), and it leaves the rest of your life to get it right. :)

Thanks SSL. I ended up doing well last semester despite the minor freak out towards the end. I don't start again until January 22 and it's at a new school so I'm kind of nervous about it, but also very excited. I hope you're having a good first day back. Today is my birthday, so I'm certainly glad that I don't have to go back today. :D
