^ at the tahoe adventure film festival this year they showed 3.0 - a short film documenting alex honnold free soloing el cap, watkins and half dome within 24 hours.

absolutely riveting and one of the greatest short films i've ever seen.

:)

Considering it takes days on average to climb el cap with full equipment (and to climb el cap under any circumstances means youre in the top few percent of climbers), doing half dome watkins and el cap in one day with 0 equipment is......... I dunno.... words fail.

I have a moderate fear of heights, so im no climber, but I do have a minor fascination with climbing because of the time ive spend in Yosemite. Most extreme sports take skill and bravery, climbing takes both, plus immense physical strength and unwavering concentration.

I may do that.

Really though, camp 4 is the shit. Most tourists stay away from it because it a grungy climber camp with no amenities, but its right below el cap and its got everything I want in a campsite. If anyone is every making last minute reservations in Yosemite valley, its close to some epic (vertical) hikes, and not a bad spot.
 
hey china just want to let you know I made a meme about you and it's pretty fucking hilarious.
broken link and i doubt it's anywhere near as good as you think it is considering dex and lonewolf commented they liked it, they are both retarded

being on suboxone has me motivated to start playing hoops again, i'm going to play tonight

it's been 8 months since i've played, i wonder if i can still dunk, i should try so i could know what it feels like to be bob griffen, having torn mcl and lcl and shit

i hope i don't pass out

That's awesome that you got on it. Even more awesome that you are already planning out healthy replacement activities. That is very good progress at this point in the rebuilding process, and shows that you were really ready to move on from that lifestyle, instead of being coerced by withdrawals, lack of money, or threats of dissociation from family/friends/romantic partners. It takes most people a lot longer to get back to doing what they used to do before opiates became their whole day.

Keep up the good work.
 
well once i get on my new insurance(once i turn 26 in feb) that insurance provider only covers sub refills for 4 months

so i don't plan on being on it for more than 8 months, but plan is the key word, if i'm not ready to get off them i'm not going to, i need to be ready

thanks for your support' love and concern, bill :]

and honestly i think that time i w/d from dope i was mostly just sick with a stomach bug

i was a 3 times a week user, but my last time using i used 3 out of 4 days HARD, so i may have done enough to go thru w/d

the main reason i think it may have been somewhat of a w/d is because i was getting those cold sweats in the middle of the night, the worst fucking part of w/d
 
Damn mang, you didn't even have a habit for that long, I see sub and mmt treatment as last resorts
Imho you should have just toughened it out for a week before getting yourself a little wd kit together ie benzos/otc meds/pregablin and you would have been feeling great after about 5 or 6 days, then every day gets better and better

I just see sub as another fucking monkey on your back, your wd wouldn't even have been that bad I bet, then the natural endorphins start flowing again and it feels fucking good.

Sure you would have had some paws but they prolly wouldn't have been nearly as bad as they'll be after 8 months of sub maintenance

Pm me anytime if you need some advice, I know how it is
 
yeah, a lot of my friends have praised me for getting help this early in my addiction, most people wait years until they finally seek out help, but i'm a smart mother fucker and realized i didn't want to be on dope anymore, the last time i used dope I iv'ed for the first time and as i was shooting up i told me self, 'what the fuck you doing man?!?! you're going to fucking die doing this some day'...how many people can say the first time they IV'ed was their last time, hopefully just me

i'm mainly on the subs for depression, it's a great anti-depressant, better than any real anti-depressant(at least in my case) - which have just as bad side effects and w/ds..also on subs to kill cravings and prevent myself from relapsing...at this point in my life i don't think i have the power to quit opiates without the help of subs

while on subs, i'm hoping i can ween my self off of a 1mg daily klonopin addiction....but according to my sub doctor quitting cold turkey won't have any bad side effects 8)....been taking kpins daily since july '11

and no need to PM, i'm all about discussing it in public, the PM feature is overrated and is something i hardly ever use, thanks for the offer though :)
 
at this point in my life i don't think i have the power to quit opiates without the help of subs

This is where I think you're very wrong and downgrading your natural will power
I know for sure a dude like you could had toughened it out with some meds like I mentioned earlier and gotten through it

But if you're comfortable on maintenance for fear of relapse and all that then that's cool, I was just throwing my opinion out there because I just hate having to be dependent on something to be well for the day, and sub wd is no joke even tapering off tiny doses...

Your sub run will be longer than your H run and sub wd lasts for weeks while your initial smack run wd would have only been 4 or 5 days of hell and then maybe some paws for a month or so

And the only the reason I mentioned pm is because I thought we were getting off topic in s&g but then realized this is a social thread
 
i knew exactly what i was getting myself into when i got on suboxone, i'm a bl'er man, i study drugs as a hobby

anyone who isn't a drug nerd is on bl for the wrong reasons ;)
 
With or without ORT, quitting heroin/opiates is still a great feat, and much respect to anyone who has done it or is attempting it. <3

I've been playing a lot of KZ maps on Counter Strike, and uploading a lot of them to my youtube channel.

I've also got me playing some de_dust2 on my channel, including a variety of knife kills and some grenade kills. :D
