Hi all. I am new to posting here but have read and gather a lot of good info from these forums. So I am on my 3rd day off Heroin. I have had subs for a loooong time but never too them as I continued to use for over a year now. I was a heroin smoker so I'm sure that makes it easy to quit. I went from Vicodan to Norco's to OC and roxies.Eventually I realized it was a lot cheaper for the same high to just score heroin and that became my life. I am on the verge of losing everything because I touched what I promised myself I never would. But the pain of a divorce and the loss of a loved one pushed me into self medication mode and I told myself I was just doing it to get through another day. So yes I took the easier way out and simply took one of my subs today DESPITE having enough dope to get through a couple days. I was sitting at my friends pool and I was so dope sick I literally had to make a decision. Sneak to the bathroom and smoke some H or take a sub. Something in me told me that I was at a crossroads. Either I take the Sub and flush the dope or be a slave to this shit and either start shooting it and die like my older brother because smoking it wasn't doing the trick anymore. So here I am.....I can't sleep but I flushed the dope and I am proud of that. I took the sub in film form and really don;t care to score. My dealer actually came to my house to "check" on me and see if I needed heroin but for the first time i could tell him " it would be a waste....I quit...I too the Sub....I'm done, don't call me again please I really have to do this if I want to live. He shrugged and took off. Anyway....any advice for a person that has literally been high on heroin for the last year with NO breaks to make it? I feel like I'm doing ok. I have disassociated myself from the area and the crowd that did such things. I have my family behind me for support though they don't know the extent of my addiction. All I know is I feel somewhat free from the opiates. Free to not worry about having what I need to get through the day just to wake up and do it again and again. I know it will get harder and I know to take as little Suboxone as I can as I plan to ween off them rather quickly. I took about 2 mg or a quarter film. So far, thats it. Don't know how I will sleep haha...I feel wired.
moved from intro to opiate section . The people you wish to reach will not see it there. The residents in this section will welcome you though.. you can make a smaller into in the introduction section..
this thread will most likely be moved to the opiates forum, at which point you can 'introduce yourself' again Hi, btw (edit) Ha! moved before before I clicked post, orison, you are quick!
Welcome, I reckon smokable psychedelics (not H or coke), when done in a meditation manner - is the opposite of addition - it wiil purge you of it. But of couse, like nicotin pathches, will power is still required.:sunny: And I say smokable [forms] bcause they tend to lasts shorter, reducing the comitment of time on you part. Make sure its a true psychedelic, they are far removed from the likes of crack, ect.. And for those H subs, they are subsidences of pure evil, the chemist that invented them purposely left out the bits that get you high, that in itself is usless.:2thumbsup:
Good for you man! It goes without saying that you made a great choice. While many people on here are active users, many of us have quit using opiates and are clean or on subs. I was a heavily dependent oxycodone/oxymorphone/hydromorphone user, I've been clean for nearly 5 months now. I found this site while I was looking for ways to help with getting through withdrawals and I've recieved so much support and encouragement. I'm always willing to help out a fellow addict trying to get clean with advice and encouragement or just lend an ear. It DOES get better, trust me. Things may get worse, but over time it certainly gets better. It's a pleasure to meet you, and I wish you the best of luck getting clean!
