1st time on tramadol

Well, I have been drinking for 9 years now, and I've been off and on with opiates for 7 years. I find that as soon as I get over the withdrawl pains and the shakes from opiates, I no longer have a strong enought urge to go and buy them because I feel guilty while high, and it completely throws my emotions out of whack and blows the high. Where as with drinking, no matter how long I try to quit (the longest was probably like, 3 days lol) I get the shakes the entire time Im sober, I cant sleep, I cant eat, I cant fuck, I cant do anything except take care of my son, then when he goes to sleep, if I dont have beer around all I can do is clean my house or play guitar because I start to get very nervous, anxious and uncomfortable. They are both very addictive, but if you have any sense and concious left when your an opiate fiend, you CAN quit, but wuth alcohol there is almost no going back. (BTW, with opiates I mean pills, morphine powder at the highest level, Im not talking about heroin because I went through some dark years with that shit and that was worse than quitting alcohol, although I sometimes get feverish and violently sick when bad things happen to me and I cant afford to buy a drink.)

 

i drink on week ends only ona day or the 2 days nothin more cauz i got school 4 the week so...

 

Yea I hear ya, thats the way to be though, I hope for your good fortune that you remain this way, its nice and healthy, I mean alcohol is plenty of fun and good for you if used in moderation especially around some good buddies or family when your old enough. Well I dont know how old you are but you know what Im saying lol. Yea just dont let i become a week day thing, because it gets to the point where everything becomes boring when your not drunk, and you start needing a little drink to even get house chores and work done. Then it gets to the point where all that matters every night is if you have at least a six pack and some food. THEN it gets to the point where food doesnt matter, as long as you have a six pack and a 40 oz. THEN its forget the 40, as long as you have a six pack and a couple shots. AND THEN IT becomes, as long as I have a 12 pack and a joint. etc etc, so on and so forth, until your putting down half a case a night and forget every night of you life hahahaha Seriously, Im not joking, alcohol ruins lives so quickly and so often for so many people, because the ego gets boosted when your drunk so you dont think your doing anything wrong.Im not trying to prech, Im just looking out for my buddies on the forums and trying to show some advice I found through my own bad descicions.

 

im 16 and a half and i drink only beer and vine sometime i get a glass of absinthe thas all

 

Oh ok, then yea you should watch out because when I was like 15 - 16 I just drank beer a couple times a week, but then when my son was born I was stuck in a relationship and stopped loving the girl and she stopped loving me, and I got promoted to being a manager at my brokerage job, and I was under so much stress and so broke from buying the house and taking care of the baby and my ex fiance that I just started drinking out of control lol Thats why I get sick without it now, because I was drunk all night during the week, and on the weekend I would start drinking on Friday at like 5PM and stay drunk until Monday morning 3am, get 3 hours of sleep and go back to work lol

tramadol is not an opiate, its a synthetic

 

Well, I know that, but it acts very similar and produces very similar effects to Thebaine and Codeine, not as strong but still similar. So the chances of addiction are about the same.
