Bluelighter
^This is exactly the kind of harsh truth we need on these boards, and is the reason I never messed with hard shit. Bluelight is all about raw facts and harm reduction, but the problem is that a lot of its good posters have already justified their addictions subconsciously, before they even start typing replies.
I've had it happen to myself, as well. I deal with moderately severe pain, bad enough to warrant surgery on four of my weight bearing joints, excluding my neck which is plain fucked, and TMD that is getting worse each month, but realized my pain levels have been down so much after being clean from prescribed dosages of opioids, and my anxiety so much lower after tapering off of prescribed dosages of Valium. The brain is a fickle organ, it will trick you in to thinking you need these meds to survive. It takes a few months of suffering through rebound pain and anxiety, and mental PAWS, but most of us would be so much better off without all this crap we put in our bodies.
