hey really cool thread idea 
i have been off Heroin & havent touched an Opiate or Opioid in 8 months now. im in outpatient treatment for that. i re-developed a benzo addiction after that i have kicked as well. i have used some since but only for emergency flip outs
i quit smoking cannabis, cigarettes, and alcohol as well going on close to 3 weeks now. except i relapsed and smoked a few cigarettes yesterday, and today. but compared to everything else i was doing, they really werent a main issue. just stopping to save money. the ones that i have smoked were from a leftover pack that i have had laying around
good luck everyone and stay strong. im proud of you

Kicking a dependency on heroin. It has been about 1 month since the last time I used it and about 6-8 months since I was dependent.
I did it with suboxone and I still take about 1/32 of a sublingual film about 2 times a week. I can go a week without a dose of suboxone but I start to feel like crap and end up dosing. The dose I take is so small but I can tell when I have taken it and I really dislike it. I am making plans to finally get over this last tiny suboxone hurdle.
From doing half a gram of dope every 2 days, to now.. I would say life has very much improved.
But I know I am going to have to deal with some withdrawal from this last bit of suboxone. A solo psychedelic experience in the woods will signal the start of not going back to the pharmacy and filling the last 4 films.
ellenallien: I am happy to hear you are doing good with this shit. I have never had to come off of benzos. I bet that is a nasty one.
On a side note; I smoke too much weed and I want to get my use down to weekends.

I suck at this. I went for about 1.5 weeks when I was on a road trip not long ago but that is the longest.
I dont post in the sexual energy thread but I try the challenge regularly and fail regularly. I can tell my energy levels are low right after I ejaculate as well. Its becoming very apparent.

OP. How much did you drink every day?
How was the few days after you quit.
I'm in that boat and I need to get out of it.

I'm losing to opiate addiction. Nothing really strong though... weak hydrocodones. Oh and I'm losing to my computer addiction too.... so yeah... I could beat the shit out of them if I really wanted to. I guess I don't want to be free bad enough yet.

I used to bite my finger nails ever since I was a kid, and then one day I told myself I was going to stop, and I haven't bitten them since.

It's tough, mang.
I'm optimistic this time, though. I run five time a week, meditate daily, and I blocked porn on my computer.
I think I stand a good chance of going for at least a month or two and seeing the benefits of not jerking it.

lol every time i try this at around 3 days I'm like "wtf am I doing? fapfapfap"
i see no point in quitting masturbation...some people do it wayyy too often, but I've got it down to once every other day and that seems adequate

Yeah, that's a decent amount.
I was jerking it like three times a day, and I felt like I was depleted of energy.
Hopefully this helps push me a little bit more while running and meditating (I do tantic yoga... so maybe I'll have a lot of sexual energy to work with).

yea 3 times a day will definitely tire you out. it takes a lot of energy for your body to go through that process

I did this for as long as I can remember. I did the same thing, I just told myself I was going to stop.
I bite my lip too and that one is harder for me to break.

You shouldn't have too much of a problem quitting, if you wanted to. I would advise against going much higher though. If you get started on Percocet, that should serve as a warning that you're headed straight for the deep end.
This is coming from someone who has never tried heroin. But I went straight from Percocet 10s to OxyContin 80s (I got them cheap and could sell enough to stay high for free), then to Opana. It's a rocky road for sure. I wish I'd never started. Nothing wrong with popping a couple Lortabs every once in a while, but it does become a matter of need before very long. Be careful.
