Has anyone else recovered from an addiction
    #19278099 - 12/15/13 07:48 AM (10 years, 2 months ago)

I recovered from a vyvanse addiction, but i know thats NOTHING compared to, say xanax addiction or heroin addiction.
Anyway i know ive recovered because i have about 12 pills and NO desire to take any. They have been in my house about 3 months.

Between the aqges of 16-18 I was taking upwards of 20mg of diluadid a day along with at least 4mg of xanax sometimes 8mg, aprox 1000 mg of soma and lots of weed and kpins and morphine.I was basically using every downer I could think of I'd even steal delsyum frequently and drink two bottles.

On my 18th Bday my brother said something casual to the effect of " I dont think you realize how many people you snap at and hurt when you're on the nod or fucked up and we all deserve better then that. He went to get cigs and I asked my cousin who was basically the only other friend I had and he said yeah I didnt want to say anything but I have notice you with more rage and sadness then anything.

I felt DISGUSTED with myself and I knew the only way to make it right was to basically cold turkey it by going from 20mg to 2mg to 0 and I started the next morning and stuck with it. It was hell and for a year I got in tune with myself on amazing terms with family and friends and my life has changed so much for the better.

Occasionally I'll give in and take a few old methadone or 1 diluadid but i am very vigilant and know how easy it is to relapse hard. For the most part i'm clean off of opiates and down to just weed, 4mg of xanax and optional soma everyday. It's helped me salvage some of my teenage years, I still have nightmares about the things I've done but I look to the future now-a-days

Heroin addict for over 5 years.
Glad to be clean and survived. Can't say the same for many of my comrades. RIP

I don't really think I'm over it, if my life goes to complete shit I know its always an option.  I haven't used opiates in almost 5 years though.  Was addicted quite a large portion of my adult life, almost half of it and I'm 31 now.

I went off and on with benzo addiction for years, ending this year with a 60-80+mg habit a day always accompanied with a shit load of rum. I first had seizures early this summer, got clean, then back on it and had more seizures, trouble with the law, almost but recognized schizophrenia... I know i'll never touch the shit again in any form. I've been addicted to opiates many times as well, but it's easy to quit as long as you have a taper stash set aside. I don't see myself ever truly quitting opiates.

I quit the alcohol addiction, but it is technically being in recovery. I still fall victim to my weakness for it and have a 6 pack from time to time.

Nothing comparable to what I used to drink though.

Hey buddy

Clean from heroin for over 3 months.  Was into it hard for close to 2 years. 

Addiction sucks man.  A person can beat their drug of need, but the problem can become substituting one drug for another.  Using a different drug activates the same part of the brain that the drug of need did.
