OPIOD FIENDs hate ALCOHOL??

I never really enjoyed alcohol, but it got the job done before I tried other substances. Now, that I only like opiates, it's horrible. Almost as bad as weed. I'd describe the feeling from alcohol as a slow cloudy exhaustion. :| Even after one or two drinks.

At one point I also enjoyed weed and coke/crack. I can't stand either now.
 
Yeah, alcohol is at the bottom of the drug list, right along with tobacco.

I dig opiates and hallucinogens... I rarely even smoke cannabis anymore.

Belfort you hit the nail on the head IMO.

Alcohol is very hit and miss, sometimes it can be quite fun other times you wonder why you even bothered, all you feel is shitty.
 
I just don't like doing something that very possibly will make me feel like a bag of kicked shit the next day. Anything that makes me need weed and opiates to feel better isn't cool. I want my weed and opiates to be enjoyable not a cure.
 
i love opiates. and alcohol is at the bottom of my list.

if alcohol was discovered now. it would be schedule 1

I do like drinking when Im coked out tho
 
ya I can completely agree, although I wouldnt label myself as a fiend but after my little few month oxy stint I completely lost interest in alcohol. And for a while all other drugs too which kinda scared me cause im just a simple pot head at heart :)
 
The last time I drank alcohol I blacked out and groped girls' breasts inappropriately. NEVER again will I drink that vile substances. It's just not worth getting in to trouble. What sort of girl would like that? Uugh.

At one point I also enjoyed coke/crack. I can't stand either now.

What, the high? If so, I find that hard to believe.
 
I used to be a horrible alcoholic, been hospitalized many times for it. I used to think h and alc were similar but no longer other than the depressant effects. My craving for booze actually just did dissapear! At first I'm sure it was in part due to my fear of combining and going OD. But as my use of h has increased I have no desire for alc at all. I feels dirty as others have posted.

Also I had a terrible crack habit that was damn near impossible to escape the torment. Usually it takes over a year for my brain to heal and stop producing euphoric recall of the cocaine rush.

After just a few weeks of H use it is totally gone!

So now I'm down to my last hit ( over an oz in 6 days ) and we'll see what happens
 
almost every junky runs around with a bottle of
beer around here. and if thats not enough they
drink that jägermeister shit.

when i smoke my heroin (as opposed to shooting it)
i like to drink some beer or whiskey which adds
nicely to the high.
 
i've never enjoyed drinking very much - maybe there was a couple of times before i got addicted to opiates where i got drunk and enjoyed it, but i've never enjoyed the whole having to drink and your stomache getting full and just feeling kinda shitty(compared to the opiate high) all over.

one thing i have found that i enjoy more though is smoking weed - something i couldn't enjoy when i was doing the opiates
 
07-08 I loved to drink, did so on most weekends. This was my freshman year of college

Then by the end of the year, I noticied that if I drank any more past one beer, it just made me feel nauseous and shitty all over.

Odd thing is, that happened before I started using opioid regularly (ie, before I started pain management)

I always wondered if it was an effect of whatever disease I have, cause I've got some stomach problems with everything else

Still to this day makes me feel shitty and nasty after just a little bit. Kinda sucks, sometimes I miss being able to get trashed with my friends. I'm not terribly sad though

And I will agree, opioids are FAR superior to alcohol. No contest

And since weed was mentioned, I'll throw in my two sense on that: Boring. Never gotten any enjoyment out of it, regardless of quality
 
I realize this was almost 5 years ago,

haha. i was reading through the thread and saw an old post from me...damn i was still a young junkie then.

Anyway, in the past 5 years I've found alcohol pretty useful for dopesickness. Although it can be a really bad idea. When I was dopesick I used to drink until i passed out and then once i woke up I took bendryl to sleep more. Or if you can hustle it up, maybe you can get a fix somehow instead of trying to sleep more. heroin is fucking amazing for hangovers too. There is no other drug I've taken that cures a hangover better than heroin.

So in my experience alcohol can be better than nothing when you're dope sick, and then hopefully wake up hungover and cop a bag of dope. Plus if you drink till you blackout you won't stay up shooting dope all night. I managed to shoot dope in the morning/afternoon and then drink myself to sleep at night(to save dope) and wake up and repeat. such a fucking depressing combo, it made me feel hopeless. idk i've got mixed feelings on the topic.
 
yo, this past weekend, i decided to give drinking a try, and after 4-5 shots of VODKA, i was HATING IT..now, i have been CLEAN from ALL drugs for the past year, EXCEPT for METHADONE..i only dose 20 mgs per day, so thats not a big thing...i grew up drinking, getting drunk(on the weekends) and LOVING IT..then i found OPIODs, and my desire for all other drugs diminished...

i dunno, i was just curious as to how some of you OPIATE freaks can sit and drink it up and get drunk AFTER being exposed to the BLISS of opiods..i just hated the process of drinking, and the "feeling" of drunkeness that was creeping up on me just didnt feel GOOD at all..like said, i USED to love drinking and gettin drunk, so MAYBE im guessing my years of opiod use/abuse has possibly DAMAGED my brain in some way so now the effects of ALCOHOL are quite unpleasant??i dunno, just curious as to why this happened..

NO, im staying off ALL other drugs, so thats not the answer here...i just wanna know if any of you that have successfully quit a hardcore opiod habit went back to actually ENJOYING the ALCOHOL experience?/



Since trying codeine, oxy, morph, H etc, and since going onto Suboxone, I not only absolutely fucking DESPISE alcohol, but I CANNOT drink more than 2 or 3 standard drinks without getting fucked up and nauseaous.

Alcohol seems to me pathetic. It is so revolting to wake up after a night on the piss, it's literally poison. It turns you into an absolute annoying fuckwit and it isn't even fun. I'm not revisiting this thread so criticism hereto falls on deaf ears.
 
Not a huge fiend as the title suggests, but I prefer opiates to alcohol in terms of a high.

Still enjoy a couple of drinks, whether its beer, wine or spirits. I don't like getting utterly drunk anymore, whereas I used to go out drinking most weekends being a college kid :\
 
I can't drink since I started doing heroin. Although if I find myself without a hookup then I find myself drinking to try to kill the pain of my wd but find 9 times out of 10 it makes things that much worse.
 
What, the high? If so, I find that hard to believe.

for me, at least, it's the high/comedown ratio...

a crack high feels great, but it's so short, and the comedown is so shitty, that it's tainted my view of crack (not that my view of crack was pristine and untainted before i tried it...). powder cocaine is the same = good high, but it's so short and the comedown is so long and shitty that unless i have benzos or, preferably opiates, i won't do it because in the end i'll feel worse much more than i feel better.
