Thank you, as bad as my pain is and as bad as it has screwed my life I am quite thankful as I have meet so many who are worse of than I am. I consider myself quite lucky as the fall I took could have easily paralyzed me. Not to mention I am married to the most wonderful woman in the world and I have loving children, she balances all of the bad in my life and tips the scale in my favor. What more does one man deserve?
Well said!
First of all there’s a couple different ways people start their opiate journey. Some people have chronic pain, back problems, surgery or bad car accidents that doctors prescribe pain killers to. The people who are only given them a short period of time will either put them down and never think about them again and may have not even finished their whole prescription and they are the ones who don’t end up having a problem. Then there are the people who have chronic pain and have to go to a doctor to manage their pain meds so they can go through life without constant pain, but it’s a double edge sword because even if you take what is prescribed and no more they will still go through withdrawals if the meds are taken away because the body becomes dependent on it and that has caused a lot of the opiate addiction in this country is getting put on pain meds for a long time and then people taking more than they are supposed to to either catch a buzz they got when they first started taking them or they take more because they are in more pain and then run out early a d start buying off the streets or seeing multiple doctors to get what they need which makes withdrawal worse. Now those people will either stick with pills, move up to heroin for cheaper better high, get on a methadone program to manage addiction and pain or get on suboxone to get off of them.
Now there’s the other people like me who dabbled around with pills in HIGHSCHOOL because my parents always had them and I liked the warm and fuzzy feeling but as I got older and had tried more things I tried the strongest pills out there via IV and became addicted to the rush and wanted to be high everyday and then I became dope sick and would wake up everyday feeling like death and needing to get high to function and when pills became too expensive I tried heroin and liked it better and that became what I needed everyday. I can’t do anything but lay in bed and maybe take a shower when I am dope sick and am 100% + the minute I got high. This is feared by people because it is easier than you think to overdose at any time and then the fact that it makes you feel like you have the worst flu ever is not appealing. And it will steal your soul, lose everything, end up in jail, homeless and it makes you a different person, personality wise and also it can affect how you take care of yourself and eventually will take your looks from you. When people think of a heroin junky there are a lot of stigmas attached to it because we are no different than people who pop a bunch of pills everyday all day, heroin junkies just do it in a more direct pure way with something that is cheaper and lasts longer. People just automatically think of overdoses when they think of people who shoot heroin and picture them passed out with a needle in their arm. Which is possible and yes it is graphic but has the same affect on the loved ones as the people who overdose from popping or snorting too many pills. IVing drugs will never be socially acceptable and I wouldn’t recommend it for anyone who hasn’t tried it because its hard to come back after you transition into that way and lifestyle
Withdrawals from diesel are pure hell. If you haven’t been there or don’t know addiction to opium, shut up. Opiates play with your brain. This is why even tho you feel good and don’t need a fix, you will do it if you have it. Tired of people who never been there giving opinions. And tired of people not answering the fucking question but instead sharing their life storries. Answer the damn question or kick rocks. I come I here looking for help like many other and seek an answer and get replies totally irrelevant to the fucking question!!! Tired of you lonley losers who feel the need to talk. Shut the fuck up and go yap elsewhere with everyone else who is like you and don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about and your fucking opinions don’t count. Last time! If you don’t know, keep shut. Perfect example… Q- Help! I need advice on withdrawing from oxy at home. A- I heard you can’t die from that but I was once addicted to sucking dick and I ended up in the hospital and almost died… Fuck you for wasting space on here and complicating shit for others.
