The first hit of the Day?

[footscrazy]

For the past few weeks I've unfortunately been waking up to whatever opioid I have for the day, usually poppy seed tea, though my taper is finally finished, and today I've woken up without having to take anything yet. It's a cunt having to get up half an hour earlier to prepare the tea.

When I was an icehead I'd always wake up to a pipe (whatever time that was, didn't keep a good schedule back in those days). I'd leave it on my bedside table and that puff would be essential to even get up and make it to the kitchen.

When I first quit ice I would drink an energy drink first thing in the morning, which helped me ease out of the habit of having 'something' every time I woke up.

Coffee and cigarettes for me... not counting therapeutic drugs I have to take, in which case I use the coffee to wash down 40mg propranolol and 40mg pantoprazole.

Boring, I know.

for about 14 years it was a bong, in the last month i have set the 4.20 rule, no weed until after 4.20pm, my life is better because of it

other than the few days (at the moment once a week) i use poppyseed tea i guess my first drug is alcohol, i rarely reach midday withought a drink but even thats improving now that i am at school 3 times a week

i prefered being addicted to PST than being an alcoholic (which is not a recent thing), my gf seems to prefer the booze, PST can really prevent an active sex life if your using large doses like i was

^ I much prefer being addicted to pst than drinking too, it's only been in the past few weeks since I've been back at uni that I've cut down from daily drinking, but since I'm so busy now I rarely think about it. I've also noticed just how much even a beer or two impairs me when I've had a couple then settled down to do some research or writing for uni - I really find it much more difficult to retain information after a beer or two - but in any other situation I'd have a couple of beers and not even recognise the effects; I'll consider myself completely sober. Although opioids do tend to make me sleepy in boring lectures sometimes, on a maintenance dose they're much more conducive to study.

^ I find opioids conducive to study... I would find I had a better attention span when it came to subjects that didn't interest me in the past.

my PST use was getting way out of hand (1.8kg a day) so i need to ensure i only use it for the purpose of getting stoned at home by myself listening to music, as soon as i use it for school or anything that most people would probably do sober it begins the cycle of addiction for me, but opiates and productivity go hand in hand for me

alcohol kills the physical anguish i experience almost daily (just like opiates did), just one beer can help but thats rarely the case,i should detox off the grog, my issues of substance abuse go far beyond the actual consumption, damn anxiety and getting to the root of the issue, opiate abuse is so much easier

Its now thursday morning and I will be going to TAFE very soon. I have been reducing off my Buprenorphine(from 8mg to 7mg, not sure if this is too big a jump) anyway ive woken up from withdrawing(bareable but still pretty bad WD's, nothing compared to methadone withdrawals!) for the last 3 mornings and felt pretty shit until I get my dose into me but this morning I thought fuck it, I dont use often at all, Im getting some heroin! So I just had a nice 0.1g shot of nice white powder and now had a cone also(wasnt planning on getting pot but mate insisted I try lol) about to go for another and im nicely baked and nicely high from the heroin but not so much that its really obvious, im sick too so if anyone says anything I have an excuse to why im so dopey, anti-histamines and being sick! This is the first time going to TAFE high on opiates this year so its not something I do regularly.

Interesting to see what some of you guys get up to on your morning

Sure you can take other drugs...Its just opiates dont work on me atm..I dont do any other drugs really..Many many people on BL forums are on MMT and use other drugs....Ive knocked back speed several times while on MMT..but last time i woke up and had a shot i could have easily ended up dead from an od because i used so much in a short period of time...so i havent used since then...
Opi8?

Yeah when I was on methadone it was the same, I had to use an amount that would floor me now im on 7-8mg of bupe daily and could use an amount that would certainly kill me now. Im not sure if its a benefit or a downfall being personally able to use a very small amount of H very soon after dosing my bupe.

This is why I hated methadone so much, I almost completely lost my sex drive and it created all sorts of problems. Im a guy and 21 and am getting the confidence now to meet the guys I want to be with/have sex with so it really sucks to have pretty much the only shot to my confidence being the bloody bupe and the negative effects it has on my libido. Still, its no where near as bad as methadone, that drug was awful(for me) but I do understand how it really works for some people, its good at making it hard to use. I am reducing off the bupe now because I dont use other opiates often and I feel like its the right time, ive been on maintenence for nearly 4 years, shit thats a shock, its the first time ive actually thought about how long ive been using(6-7yrs) and on maintenence. I want my sex drive and motivation back, I want my feelings back, I dont want to be dependent on opes anymore, fuck im too young and I just want to feel normal which I dont on any dose of sub or methadone.
