I may be wrong, but I believe that I am safe in doing OC's again soon. I don't know, I could be underestimating the drug, but it seems to me that I could safely do oxycontin every week or two without developing another habit.
Yes, you're absolutely wrong. And, yes, you are completely underestimating the drug. Love In Vein gave some great advice that I've given many times, that you probably wont pay attention to-but would only benfit you--do a search on opiates and read ALL the horror stories. It's really really hard to use on a "couple times a week" basis. I don't know how many times I've told myself (and I'm sure we've all told ourselves) exactly what you're telling us right now. "I'm NOT going to get addicted" Everything that Love In Vein said in the first post was right, especially:
"I'm not telling you what could happen, I'm telling you what WILL happen"
It's extremely unfortunate that you are most likely not going to listen to anything that all of us EXPERIENCED opiate users are telling you. But don't worry, when you start posting here about how you've been using everyday for months, years even and how you should have quit a long long time ago--I will be right here to say "We told you so..."
QUIT NOW!!!
While you're still young! And PLEASE PLEASE do a fucking search-read what we've all gone through because of opiates. Opiates is the kind of drug that you can't control, because it controls you.
If you don't want your parents to know (but they will eventually when you start stealing and lying and all of that bullshit that comes with an opiate addiction) make up some excuse to see the doctor then ask for your appointment to be *confidential*. But be warned, most doctors only give out benzos for the first couple of times you ask for them. Don't expect to be able to come back time after time--and I'm sure thats what your doc will be expecting if he/she has any experience with opiate users.
