Had a great Christmas. Finished reading the Crowley book I was reading and now I am starting Infinite Jest.
Entering withdrawal from oxy's after binging for a week. Keeping a positive attitude about it. Why binge, if I am not able to face the consequences. I am attempting to perceive the physical effects with amusement; easier said than done, but I know that this can only strengthen me. A week isn't long enough to develop negative habitual tendencies towards life in general and that is the main thing for me. I will not be feeling dead, as I am used to living a productive and happy life and a week isn't long enough to take that away from me.
I'll definitely be resting up in bed while reading and also listening to music through my new headphones, though. Taking it easy, but certainly getting out for a walk daily (with my sick wireless headphones playing music on my phone). I forgot to smoke weed on Christmas so I am lighting some bowls and after a full day, getting quite lit. I am going to try to forget about drugs altogether for the next week as I detox. I know in advance that I won't have my usual creativity, and there will be shit physical symptoms but that doesn't mean I can't be productive. I am working a lot of hours to keep my mind off it, too. A lot of journal writing about the lady on vacation whose company I didn't realize I would miss so much. Just taking it easy there is no point getting worked up about a withdrawal and I was sick for half the day today before I decided to use. Really don't have it so bad, just burning nerves in my upper arms and very restless legs. Very bad back pain. I find that if I do not desire it any longer, that the withdrawal is not half so bad. I certainly do not wish to continue using I am quite happy that the stupid script has been blown through. I somehow got my prescription over two weeks early I don't really get that, but I am all out of refills and too lazy to get more and it has been way too long since I talked to my drug hustler / pain doc. i'm sure he'd be happy to see me but I think I would beat his face in tbh. Just how I feel about opiates these days; they disgust me and I don't know wtf I was thinking but it's over and they will be out of my system in a day or two. Every time I relapse it is at the pharmacy I have already told them straight up I am an addict and to fuck off but they go by the computer system. I will have to get my doctor involved to get a block on these scripts in fact I think I have already done this but I need to make sure as although I will go through this without complaint, I don't want it to happen again. And it is always from the doctors now, so they need to fuck off before I freak out and beat the fuck out of one. I haven't been into heroin since June or July or some shit, or any street opiates for that matter since then.
I am really excited to read Infinite Jest so I am holding off on the Pynchon books I have for now, as I would like to start with Inherent Vice and my brother is reading that one at the moment.
Man that new Nintendo system is insane. Anyways, I'll be distracting myself from the idea of drugs altogether or at least trying to. Considering myself just under the weather with a real bad hangover for a week. So my GP is really against opioids and scripted me weed. It is her I need to make sure to block the prescriptions from. I don't even know how I got two oxycodone prescriptions in a month for the same prescription as they are insane about that here. I am sick and fucking tired of relapsing at what is supposed to be health care and is essentially the source I use to kill myself. I don't have any other sources for opiates, so in order to stop using them I need to once again, try and make sure that the medical system cannot prescribe me opioids as I can easily get them for a spine condition. They do not help my pain, though... they make it much worse, in fact. I like to nod but this is just getting stupid now so I will be forgetting about drugs as of now and picking up Infinite Jest after adding some Jasmine oil in a little water to my oil burner and smoking another bowl.
