opiate anger?

[Ripamaru]

I find myself being snappy and short with people and extremely impatient, which sucks cause I am constantly watching my 3 year old so you can imagine the amount of times I snap on her when I'm opiated when I'd usually just take a deep breath and deal

This

I don't have kids thank god......But I have no patience what so ever on opiates. Every tiny thing pisses me off for no real reason.

The funny part is that I don't FEEL angry. I am usually feeling good and think I am happy. But I start bitching about things and seem really annoyed. I turn into a giant douche. I started sooooo many fights with my girl over nothing that it really ruined our relationship.

Now that I am on maintenance and going to meetings/group every day and have learned to deal with it I may have a chance to fix the relationship. She has got clean herself and wrote me.......I'm hoping she decides to come out here and go through the program with me.

Sorry for the novel, didn't realize I typed so much8(

Good luck rip, I hope that you two can get things straightened out. I was in basically a similar situation myself. My girlfriend and I had been dating almost four years, and towards the end the drug use just turned us both into miserable people. She went to rehab and has since been clean, back in school, working, and taking classes to become an addictions counselor. I got on methadone, and won my battle against cancer. We both stopped using and went out separate ways to get help on the same day, and I wish one day maybe we can get back together. We keep in touch periodically, and even though we broke up 12 months ago, I still miss her deeply.. I was hoping I was going to marry that girl, have a family, live a happy life.. But unfortunately heroin/coke and every other drug just ruined everything. If it wasn't for me introducin her to oxycontin, I am sure we wouldn't have ended up like this. I nearly ruined the girls life and I hat emyself for it.. i couldn't deal with it for so long, i was so depressed. Ah, but it was a learning experience.. For better or for worse all situations in life can provide valuable insight into who you are as a person. And hopefully adjust yourself accordingly in the future.

Sorry for ranting, I don't know why I even posted this... Guess my methadone and valium are kicking in and my withdrawals are finally going away.

A good name for this would be "Dr. House Syndrome".

His snarky, smart-ass demeanor is a pretty decent representation of "opiate anger".

Damn that is eerily similar to me......

We were together for almost 4 years, have been apart for just over a year, and I got her started on opiates. I know exactly how you feel. I hate myself for what I put her through. She loves me more than I could ever imagine happening. She showed undying loyalty and would suffer through WD just to make sure I was ok.

It makes me sick to think about how selfish I got. I am not that kind of person at heart so it just tears me up. That is the biggest reason why I will never allow myself to fail. I will get out of this and stay clean until I croak.

The letter she wrote me proves how much she still loves me. I wrote back to her and am waiting nervously for the response.

I used to think I knew what love was when I was young........I had no damn clue. It is unreal, more intense than any words I could possibly come up with.

I put my wife thru a lot because of my opiate anger. The crazy part is that when on oxys/norcos I was so mean to her, and acted like I did not give a crap about her, but when I started Heroin I was super nice to her and cared more!! Weird I know, but that move to Heroin saved our marriage. I still am on Heroin and we are doing better than ever lol.
