Well, my friends and foes... Yesterday I enrolled in the Methadone treatment program. Yes, I realize it IS replacement therapy...but...its also legal, and not not making me get out every morning to cop dope on the streets and potentially put myself in the middle of a crime I could do some serious time for. Tuesday (when I got busted) opened my eyes and has glued them mother fuckers open. Ill take methadone over jail any day of the week. Thanks for all the positive support everyone gave me.
Methadones hard as fuck to get off of though, you should have just quit the heroin. ive been on and off both many times each in the past 3 years and methadones always been a hell of alot harder for me, it lasts so much longer.
Yeah methadone withdrawal is very tough, but with medical supervision and decreased dosages it can be done with very very little withdrawal. I talked to the damn doctor about it for like three hours yesterday about it lol because I already know..im an opiate head...there aint shit you can tell me I dont already know. But I got busted on Tuesday in a Heroin sting, so going to the clinic is better for me personally as far as looking good in court that im getting help, its better financially cuz it doesnt cost as much as coppin dope, and its the best decision for me right now.
I'm glad you're finding a way to help yourself... though i don't think replacement drugs are always the greatest solution.. but it is a start none the less... mostly i just don't agree with the fact that the government will take smack heads and turn them into legally addicted heads.. and throw them back on the street and figure everything will be ok.. i understand you may be one of the few "functional" heroin addicts.. but you know as much as i do.. there are more non-functional smack heads than not.... PS.. sorry about anything said in earlier threads.. i just don't take too kindly to people who cry about something they got caught for when they know its wrong.. ya know? i'm seriously glad to see you taking charge of yourself
I hope the treatment goes well...even if it is replacement...its controlled and safer than scoring on the streets.
trust me, if there were worthy legal highs for me to switch to i'd be all over that shit unfortunately i don't live in cali and have a prescrip
i think i meant to use the word "drugs" the fact of the matter is at least she's doin' something about it
Good luck nirma. I hope it works out the way you want it to. Personally, I like methadone. I've only eaten it twice, at 10mg and 50mg, and it was nice at 50mg but I almost died at 10mg, because of excessive alcohol. haha I never knew what an opiate addiction feels like though, so I feel kinda insensitive saying I like methadone. I hope you're able to do what you need to do and stay out of trouble. Keep us updated.
