Two questions on opiates?

[ericmm1331]

so lately ive been getting Roxicodone 30mg.

my question is is it weird that i snort a tiny bit just to feel happier about my life and everything?

the amount i snort is not enough to get me high or even barely buzzed.

but could this could mean im mentally addicted to opiates?

Your brain associated snorting roxi with euphoria. Though you aren't dosing high enough your brain still... shit. I'm really fuckin high and just lost my train of thought. I mean you know where I'm going with this right? Either way no its not wierd and no your not addicted. Well actually you didn't put enough info so you could be addicted idk. Just my opinion, taking it from the psychology point of view

Yes well your brain can generalize to snorting any substance to produce a state of euphoria. Since I'm having a hard time explaining myself atm lol I will use part of an article to help me.

*Note: This is the only article I could find relating the actual action of snorting and classical conditioning. I'm not saying this article applies to you, its an example. And I'm not saying addiction is this easy to get rid of.

Classical Conditioning

Wait a minute! Reading this article won't help you! Once done reading, you'll go back to snorting cocaine, smoking crack, shooting heroin, popping OxyContin, or whatever it is you do.

That's why I'm introducing a powerfully effective self-help intervention that you must do regularly. This self-help intervention is called Classical Conditioning. Simply put, Classical Conditioning consists of pairing a particular feeling with a particular event over and over again until they become automatically associated with each other.

Let's say that you have a cocaine addiction and want to quit. So instead of feeling good after snorting cocaine, you want to feel awful. What makes you feel awful? Electric shock? Okay, we'll use this.

So each time you snort cocaine, you give yourself a severe electric shock. You feel awful each time. Eventually, you'll automatically associate snorting cocaine with feeling awful - without the electric shock! Thus, curing yourself of cocaine addiction.

Hopefully I got that across... maybe not. I'll come clarify more maybe tomorrow when I sober up. I mean I believe this explains a lot of things involving the act of snorting. Maybe someone can agree with me for once lol or someone with a little more knowledge of the concept could jump in.

That is actually very very good information, i used a similar method when quitting opiates.

It sounds as if you just like snorting and that itself brings euphoria for you, imo.
Kind of a mind over matter thing.

I'm like that with Percocets. I can take enough to get high and enjoy or I can take just 2-3 (which doesn't get me high) but it makes me feel better just knowing I took them.
