Have you ever met another opioid addict?

If they're "addicted to x", as in, MDMA, I respect you considerably less, knowing that you would even talk to them.

And just the other day I saw you putting down other drug cultures, when asking about shroom culture... (which is, by the way, of course, the same as most psychedelic culture, which includes a good portion of mdma users)

 

When the hell did I put shrooms down? Im in insanely interested in shrooms?

 

I have met a couple of the dirty rundown unfortunate hardcore addicts but never met anyone like me that just does it for weekend relaxation. I was always led to believe that if you tried it you were done for and thought I must be unique until I met you nice folks. I learned of the wonder of opiates through being a chronic pain sufferer after some bad physical conditions made my life a misery. I always use my meds. as directed accept for my weekend pleasure. I am still able to work and function quite nicely with the help of my meds., plus relax on the weekend. I think it would actually be kind of nice to know someone who also lives this way but I guess we are kinda underground because we still functon normally and don't want to upset the applecart. People who know me have no idea as I live a normal life. I just got a buzz a couple of hours ago and feel really sweet. Hope the rest of you guys feel the same.

 

P.S. I love shrooms but I am at an age where finding them would be difficult because I'm not that young and hip anymore. I sure remember some beautiful trips though!

 

A friend of mine who I've known since childhood is an addict too. She gets all of her meds from her pain dr so she wont admit it if she was asked.

No one knows I take them as often as I do except my husband. I would say him knowing keeps me in check so to say though so it works for me. He even takes them on occasion. He is the kind of person that can take 1 a day or none a day... doesn't matter to him

 

Thats really good that your mind set is this way...keep that

 

absolutely.... my addict ass mind could never have control to manage my usage responsibly. so yes keep that mindset and never get where u cant live without it.

 

Well I know a couple of opiate/oid addicts , but none in my close group of friends. Sure they have known about my addiction for quite a while. Sometimes even ask for a bump, but they have their own addictions, mainly coke and alcohol and pot(if its considered an addiction) I quit drinking completely 4 monthes ago, and lets just say its been replaced

 

I have friends and family who qualify as chronic users and addicts, though there's a difference. I'm certain no one would classify me as an addict - I used to have a Tramadol script and now use something else works equally as well for migraines and pain problems.

 

Hey now, those hallucinogen addictions are mighty pesky! :devil:

 

If you ever feel the need to talk to another addict, don't dismiss the idea of attending an AA or NA meeting. I went to AA meetings weekly when I was trying to clean up, and even though I never "shared" it helped a lot to know I wasn't the only person in the world who didn't want to be sober OR do drugs anymore. Crazy, I know!

 

You need to write a fucking book! I'd read it.

 

As strictly atheist and pro-medication, I don't think I would make friends there from what I have heard. I was part of the SMART recovery online but they hated me because of my pro-meds stance. It was sad how something so small can decide if people want to talk to me or not.
