Don't really know or care where to post this but after being an opiate addict for shit, about 2.5 years, I can actually say I've finally quit. I've been through tapering 2 times and after the most recent one; 2 weeks after I had been opiate free the desire caused me to get high or whatever you want to call it. I got high for 3 days straight and then I realised that a part of me that had been dead for a long time was starting to come back and my desire to see what that part of me was overrode my desire to continue being high, however I still have been smoking weed and doing nitrous which I believe has helped this part of me come out. Anyway; I didn't even know I was dead, but I know for sure that now I am alive.

Congratulations on moving past that part of your life. If you would like support in quitting I can send this to The Dark Side. Another option would be for you to post this in your blog, and people can still comment on it there, and you can continue with updates there as well. Just let us know and myself or another mod will take care of it. If you want it in your blog though you would have to post it there since we can't send things to blogs, but we can send threads to TDS.

It's so good to hear somebody losing that much interest in their addiction.
I'm very proud of you to overcome that part of your life

Congratulations! I want to extend one word of caution... if you are still associating with some of your using friends, you might find maintaining sobriety from opiates long term might be in conflict with associating with those people.
Congratulations, and I recommend maybe checking out a 12-step program or maybe an Intensive Outpatient Program. After using for awhile, it can be hard readjusting to life without opiates. I know for me, after 5 1/2 years, I needed both Inpatient and Outpatient with 12 step stuff to develop a strong grounding in the world without Opiates.
Good luck, and PM me if you would like to discuss further.
