question to people who had problems and those who can now control it

okay, so i was just wondering, my friends always said that if they did it again they most likely get sucked right back into it... and they were beasting out a bit. now i was doing them a good deal, always making sure not to get really sick and i didn't basically. but i just have this mental thing about them... like last time i'd done them were in may, and then i sniffed an opana which i didn't really enjoy for some reason, probably because i don't really care for them like diesel, and then i smoked opium for a few days heavy without consequences. but like that was back in early january.

so... basically i am wondering: what do you do to stay off/in control of it, how often do you do it, and uh... what opiates...

because i think if i did heroin i'd get instantly sucked up into it again, loving it again.

so now i'm just gonna smoke bud, if that works out, it seems to...

 

yeah man, my advice is just smoke ganja. fuck everything else. I discovered opiates because I am on probation and cant smoke freely, but in 2 months I can apply for early termination, and if its accepted! OMG! Im gonna buy a vaporizor and a half ounce of chronic and smoke my self to sleep for a few days.

but back on topic, as most of you may know, I can control opiates extremely well. other members here would probably not be here anymore if they had a bottle of 50 OC80s like I did, and that bottle lasted me for months. My method of self-control is my friends, family, and my dreams and aspirations. I see ABSOLUTELY nothing wrong with having a fun night on heroin or oxy, or shrooms/LSD, and around here we have rolling parties, where every1s on xtc and the girls in the party get l00se

But you gotta learn how to do that in moderation. For example, I mostly do drugs only on the weekends. During the week, Im occupied with multivariable calculus, Kantian philosophy, and astrophysics/cosmology. On the weekends its a different story lol. Im out in bars, clubs, and parties getting bent lookin for the finest bitch I can find to take home with me.

That's how it oughta be. Drugs are fun, superfun, but by no means can they be #1 on your top priorities list. Mine is school, graduating from a university. then comes my friends and family. THEN comes partying and gettin banged up.

 

I beat an addiction to morphine, oxycodone, and heroin that had been going on for nearly two years daily use
cold turkey. Though I did start drinking heavier, partly due to cover pain, and partly due because my stomach
could handle alcohol again lol.
In short, its a test and measure of your character as a man/woman rather than as a child who runs from pain
and seeks happyness from external sources. There is nothing anyone can do or say to help you, and you will
probably slip up when you try and quit. Happens to everybody. Good luck when/if you decide to quit, but really
only you prevent yourself from using, no one and nothing else can.
My advice is to read heavily, play music, or try meditation. But thats only because thats what I did when I
needed to fill my free time.

 

Sorry guys, but when that time comes, it's time for me to say good bye as well....















BUT NOT FROM THE FORUMS, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO CATCH ME IN THE STONER'S LOUNGE!

 

quitting now. Been on bindge for a few months. Needless to say this isn't easy. ESP since school and work are still requirin my attendence. I'm following the advice given in the withdrawal post. I also have some meds to help ease the pain. But they will be running short very soon. Wish me luck. Good luck.

 

Yea man same here, i'm on probation too, and since I couldn't smoke I turned to opiates, but never really had a problem since i couldn't get them to often, Few oxys here and there few dillys once and a while, you kno whatever i could come by. I never really went crazy and HAD to get sum pills. But just like you man i can't wait for this probation to b over so i can get back to smoking that green stuff.

 

man it just seems like everyone is getting sober now,
and kilo i agree that it is perfectly possible in moderation,
I could have a bottle of 80s and do like 20mg once a week or less and have no issues

 

-beatnick:

i was hooked on oxycontin bad, anywhere from 200 to 600mg's a day, soon as i woke up, till i went to bed.. I went from being "Not addicted"- doing 20-80mg's a day to "I fucking need that shit", 80mg's every hour lol..
I had a bad addiction.. I had to control it but i didnt want to quit, because i do enjoy Oxy and all opiates, just Opiate withdrawals is one of the worst addictions in the world..

To cut down.. Along with smoking weed, and keeping my mind busy with friends, games, anyway possible.. I very frantically gave myself dose limits, first few days i did about 20-30mg's a day, to keep going thru WD's.. Then i dropped to 10-20mg's a day, untill my bodies Opiate craving was Gone..

Now that i've drastically cut down, My body and mind feel so much better.. and i can get a great buzz off 20-40mg's..

To Keep myself OFF.. i just think of how much pain and agony i was in during my addiction lol and realize that it eventually tears you apart in alot of ways, from Socialality to personal interests.

Your mind is one of the best ways of controlling opiate use...

HOWEVER.. Opiates have a VERY strong physical dependence, that is the worst part.. You can tell you mind; "i dont need opiates", "its all in my mind" ect.. But if your body is dependent, then your mind has very little control over the addiction cuz your body needs it..

to help with living thru WD's.. talk with your friends, talk with anyone, do anything you can to keep your mind busy.. Play video games, clean the house, read a book, Anything. I know how it is, i despise Opiate addiction now that i've experienced it.. and thanks to all my friends, the good people from hipforums, i survived the WD's and am SO GLAD ITS OVER!!

china white;
that is one of the problems i had.. if i had a bunch of oxy, i would do more becuz i had it :| pretty sure that is what brought me to the point of addiction.

 

It's been 56 hours and 15 min. I have been taking tramadol and solma to keep down the wd's and they are working wonders. but with only 7 trams and 4 solma's left.. I'm starting to get nervous. I also have some xanax (not much), to help with the sleep when i run out of trams. I'm feeling fine right now, but, by this time tomorrow.. it's probably not going to be so well...

I also picked up some immodium and solminex and aleve, which i plan to use once my 'other' meds run out. God I hope this doesn't get tooo nasty. I've been through some pretty bad WD's. It seems for me it takes about 7-9 days for it to subside to the point where i can live normally and just take a sleep aid for the night. Hoping that time comes sooner than later.

hey piink

if you find enjoyment in alcohol, a mix drink can help out alot, if it doesnt get rid of WD's completely for a while, it will def help suppress it... oh and careful mixin the drink with pills

i feel obligated to help and support anyone here out with opiate withdrawals, becuz, it was one of the worst experiences in my life, especially with something i loved so much lol

 

You really shouldn't use one addiction to cure another.
Your will power is stronger than you think.

 

me? i'm not addicted to pot, i just like it very, very much.

and to everyone withdrawing, best of luck, keep strong.

 

Thanks Mep, appreciate the suggestion. I've used alcohol in the past to suppress WDs, but it doesn't do much for me. And I normally end up getting totally hammered which causes the next day to be hell. So far so good tho. That sominex really did work too. I reccommend it. Best of luck to me. The cravings are the worst.

 

I agree. I dont think there is such thing as being addicted to weed, in the sense of being addicted to hard drugs like cocaine, heroin or methamphetamine. I say Im "addicted" to weed, but I could stop at any second, not have a single drop of withdrawals, or even feel like shit.

smoking trees is like smoking ciggarettes to me.

 

Weed can be extremely mentally addictive. I know so many people who can't even function unless they have had their morning blunt, the same as if someone can't function without taking that Oxy in the morning. Obviously it's not the same type of addiction, but the want/craving is still just as bad when you smoke marijuana, if not even more-so. Take that, on top of the fact that weed is much easier/cheaper to come by, and you will be using weed much more then any other drug you ever use in your life.

I know many people who claim that they could never quit smoking pot, ever. I mean, they could, but they would never choose to. It's got a serious mental addiction attached to it, IMO.

 

just had to give an early welcome to the stoner's lounge.

and since you guys are talkin about weed, i would definitely say i am addicted to it. obviously it's not as extreme as opiate or coke or meth addiction, but i would say it's pretty real, especially for some people.

for me, if i have weed, i have to smoke it. i'll try to make it last as many days as i can, but i won't skip a day of smoking. but once i'm out, i'm fine. i don't get WDs (hah) or even irritable or sleepless (some people do). i exhibiti other addictive behaviors with weed. like i'll tell myself i won't smoke before class or something, and i will. or i'll say "no smoking tomorrow" and i will. i've been busted pretty good for weed and i never quite for very long. so you could say it's had negative impacts on my life at times but i could never quit.

bottom line though, it's only fuckin weed. the worst thing about it is that it's illegal and can get you in trouble. besides that - smoke is bad for the lungs. and that's about it. harder drugs will fuck you and the addiction is way worse

 

Ya, well with weed if you stop you don't get withdrawls from it.It might be hard mentaly but not physically.At least it was that way for me.
Haven't touched weed in 2 years now..
But I to is cutting down..I saw my doctor today and had him start cutting down my scripts.. He told me we will work this right and have me weened off in 2 months.
I love my Opiates but after 10yrs I want a break.. Plus my last back surgery is doing very well.. Ihope that everyone trying to quit the best of luck.Especially you younger ones.
Cause when you get older your tolerance will be so high that when you get hurt, nothing will help

 

:drool5: morning blunt.. oh how I miss it...

If that's the case then Im severely mentally addicted to marijuana because of what it does for my mental. That shit honestly helps me see clearer, and its gotta be the best stress releaver.

Im exactly the same way. I dont think I'll ever choose to stop smoking herb. I could stop, at any point in my life, but I wouldnt. Theres no reason to. In my 8 years smoking pot, I never noticed it affecting me negatively anymore than a ciggarete does. On the other hand, the rewards I gain smoking smoking this sacred herb are innumerable.

 

Came across an excess of roxi.. fuck!!! Well that was a fun 3 nights =) 15 roxi's later.. I'm feeling like shit.. ugh..
