hey BL.

recently quit opiates. had a good OC habit goin on. to pay for all those pills, i sacrificed weed. now i'm clean of everything and have been for 20 days, today.

good feeling so far. haven't had any money to get anything.

anyway...found some pot today and going to chief tonight. this is, of course, against all advice from the rehab place and NA/AA meetings. they say it'll lead me back to opiates for sure.

i know better than to say anything is for sure...

any thoughts?

any thoughts?

Only thought I have is wondering if you used to always pop a pill when you smoked weed or if you were cool with just being smacked. If you were always smoking when you took a pill, you're probably gonna really fiend for whatever opiates you were fucking with the second your mind starts to wander after you get high.

i used to smoke and dope...then i got broke. so i chose the pills. i've been on weed and OC together many times before, but it isn't recent. i'm hoping that might keep my mind satisfied or at least help.

near the end of using, i was very cool w/ just being smacked. i was so far separated from weed, and too regularly dosed on oxycodone, i barely thought about smoking.

thanks for insight, Jibult

I think indulging in any drug use will heighten your chances for relapsing on opiates simply because your establishing the reward mechanism in your brain that tells you "Take X substance and then you feel gooooood". That being said if your going to get high marijuana is a better drug to use than opiates.
