Opioids Using near the end of Moderate Opiate Withdrawal. HELP!!

[UserAbusah]

I have read and searched for as much information as possible regarding this question but I have not found much solid information. However upon reading what I have, I discovered many people (most) stating that using even the smallest amount will certainly send the individual straight back to square one (day one of the opiate withdrawal) Obviously this must be different for each individual. I just seem to keep convincing myself that using a small amount when experiencing the very minor last effects of withdrawal will NOT send one all the way back to the first day and same level of severity. (Maybe I am just trying to bullshit myself to make myself feel better)

However if this is 100% true and backed up by solid factual information, well....I just fucked up. I have been opiate free completely for 3 to 4 days which I do understand is not a long time. (I just used a small amount of heroin, not enough to get high but just to make the anxiety go away and the slight flushing to go away). I have been a user of opiates throughout a big part of my life, mainly prescription pain killers. However recently I ended up forming a small 2week habit of smoking (chasing) heroin off foil (I have never injected, but I have occasionally used heroin in the past) I would say that the heroin was of moderate to weak strength and the same batch the whole 2weeks. The amount varied each day but was usually One or One and a Half bags a day (United Kingdom £10 bags) Unfortunately I am unable to tell you what the weight of these bags was but it was a small amount, one bag usually smoked in one sitting, however I was sometimes surprisingly high from one bag (perhaps I am slightly miss-judging the strength) even though I do have a tolerance to opiates. PLEASE HELP!! I really do not want to go through this again, I have experienced much worse withdrawals but I simply can not let my loved ones notice again and I am in the process of moving house and restarting my studies in the next week or so!

Your help is much appreciated and I hope I have not thrown myself back to the beginning as I had an opportunity to withdraw without anyone being around these last few days, however this will not be the case after tomorrow.

Best Regards to all

Of course it won't send you back to sqaure one that is hogwash, you have already detoxed off the H for 3-4 day's, if anything it will extend the remainder of your withdrawal and even make it a little smoother.

Thank You!! its great to hear something like this, you have really helped to put my mind at ease a bit more!!

You will be fine, just don't talk yourself into doing more H, as of course it feeds them little annoying packmen in our brains searching and chewing.
I have a question, I do hope someone can help. The older you get the harder the withdrawls are on the 'OL bod. I was along time last one standing kind of addict, just completely out of my brain cells...non left. Always drug of choice California black tar...well I got clean, I mean almost3+years in a no holds bar rehab called Delancy Street- I was done, not to lie always will love the high and be lying if I said I did'nt. However, I was struck with chonic pain after bout 6years I had a bunch of MIR's and all that, found disc scraping bone, and some major bulging in three places. Thats not even the half of it.

I ended up in serveral pain clinics needless to say, no paincuz of serveral differernt kinds of dope, but again a full blown addict, face in soup. Use to get the opanas and all of that stuff but no gels and non Iv junk in them then. So now Im on a rather low does of Fentanyl 25mcg there stong no pain just some breakthru once in a while. But I also get 120 20ml oxy's no acetametaphine. I ran out early (surprise freakN surprise) even with this patch I got sick as a dog. Shoul'nt the patch ease this a little bit?

I cant ask for an earlier appt, my doc will flip, and Im going have to explain way im short anyway. I have some xanax thank God, but I dont understand why my Fent patch will not keep me from withdrawl off these oxy's. I only take 60ml a day and they are written for 80...lucky me?
Its reall like snorting good speed to me as the patch has a really slowing effect.

Ok way to much info sorry. Can someone answer soon so I can prepare.

Thanks as always my hero's.....

UGO2SLO to the rescue. Read my post on how I kicked heroin and opiates in 7 days at home no Methadone or Suboxone. Give me feedback if you try and succeed.

the biggest thing i had to learn, and a lot of rehabs and shit disagree, sadly, but relapse IS part of recovery. if it wasnt then na and aa would be in trouble. while you are not exactly back at square one, it will prolong the wd, which is, more or less making your body think its back at square one. your mind knows this isnt the case, and that will help the wd immensely. for example, when i was still shooting dope, i may have been waiting for my guy to reup, bag it up, whatever. but id be wding, feeling all shitty and sick, then my guy would call and say hes good. once i got in my car to go see him id feel fine. its my mind telling me im fine even though i hadnt gotten my dose yet. just the fact i knew it was going to be in my vein 30min later was enough to satiate me fora little while longer.

and when it comes to kicking opis, 3 or 4 days IS a long time, since most addicits cant think a step head let alone 2 steps. congrats on what you have accomplished, dont let anyone make you feel otherwise what you have done is by far harder than just about anyone will have to go thru. getting clean has to be something you want. all the money and best drs and rehabs in the world cant make someone quit if they dont really want it.

Using before withdrawal is over will not send you back to square one, however it will send you back to day one. Withdrawal won't be as severe but you will still have to go through the whole process again. Don't do it. I made this misstake so many times...

Here's has it was with me. Using once at the end of withdrawal (a decent dose, not just a tiny bit) would set me back a full day or so, using two days would set me back 2 days or so, and 3 days would have me back to square one. If I went hard for those two says I would be back to square one, but I would rarely do that.
