Opiate addicts support group 4

A lot of us have been struggling with opiate addiction/relapse recently and I know a lot of us want to put down junk and turn our lives around.
I think it would be best for all of us in this boat to support eachother and ban together to get junk out of our lives.
Today I did what I hope to be my final bag of junk for a while and used my final needle which I threw away after using it. Some other memebers here have told me they are in the middle of kicking or planning to kick very soon.
If your struggling please share what's going on and how your doing. Share your detox plan and record your progress. Also this thread can serve as a place for members who have previously suffered from opiate addiction to show support to members still struggling.
I believe if we support eachother we can turn our lives around and break free from the chains of junk.

good friend OD'ed and died over the weekend.
it was his third OD. When I met him he hadn't fallen out at all yet, and I'd OD'd twice at that point. He always joked that he was going to beat my "record", even after he got closer and closer. I remember after the first one him coming into work pale as a ghost with sternum bruises and saying "one down. I'm catching up", how freaked out he looked but still trying to make light of it.
doesn't feel real that he's actually gone. makes me feel like I should've tried to put him in check more instead of joking back and forth with him about the shit, but nothing could get through to him no matter how hard I tried. He knew to come to me if he was ever serious about getting into recovery, but he also kept his distance a bit because he thought he could drag me down with him, which may have had some truth to it. He was never really a daily user, and was so off again on again with it that it was hard for anyone around him to really intervene. he loved everyone around him and was one of the most kind-hearted people I've known, but he was self destructive to himself more than anything I've ever seen. It never made sense to me, everyone that met him loved him.
I'm 6-ish years sober now. Had 4-5 relapses in my first two years, nothing other than some relatively mild alcohol struggles since then. My mind state now doesn't even resemble who I was back then. Hard work played a large role in the recovery, but time and luck were probably the main things that got me here.
RIP to everyone who hasn't been so lucky, and good luck to those still struggling. If you can just string some time together, you'll be amazed at how big the world becomes and how many opportunities you can create for yourself. I went from being 107lbs, homeless and basically lifeless for 4 years to being a certified addiction counselor with a bachelor's in neuroscience and currently about to start a master's degree in rehab therapy. when I was using, I would've laughed if someone told me I'd ever even figure out how to apply for a college, or have even the slightest desire to do so.
the finality of death.... caused by something as short-lived and shitty as a fentanyl high... it's just surreal. someone so full of life simply no longer "is" anything at all. one night he was on the phone joking with his daughter before she went to sleep, the next he was cold and dead in a locker. the fact that I was only seconds away from the same fate twice, and only milligrams of powder away from it countless times, sends chills down my spine and make me wonder what the fuck life actually is. rest in peace shane, it'd be impossible to ever forget you

Finally did it guys, finally got clean from all opis/kratom after a decade of severe addiction. The ibogaine worked a miracle and got me through.
Today I have a little over 4 months clean.

Hello everyone, I'm new to this site yet very familiar with the subject, opiates. I'm very proud to say I'm 15 days clean and have a great attitude about succeeding! I've been a oxy/any opiate addict for about 10 years now, I've used and abused pretty much every common drug out there, I've been in the ER OD 3 times, I'm 28 now. I wanted to reach out and not only try to help encourage everyone trying to kick it, but I'm also looking for support, because we all need help!
IMO there is no right way to kick opiates, and to do so without replacing the habit with something else almost seems unfathomable, I've been off and on through my 10 year addiction, about the longest being about 6 months off about 5 years ago. I personally used suboxone to trade my habbit over, after withdrawing off the subs I found that subs are harder to get off of, so recently I actually used Vicodin 5mg to get off subs lol try telling a sub dr about that! the reason for me feeling a lot better about getting off opiates is IMO I went to a psychiatrist and now am on a antidepressant, which has helped the mental aspect of the process. When it comes down to it, it's all about self control and will power, you can do it i anything if you want it bad enough! If anyone wants to talk about there struggle PM me.

Well I passed a test today.
Got a text from one of my old dealers saying he was in queens and I was going to Brooklyn earlier so I had to pass through queens anyway.
I decided not to respond and to delete the message.

So I'm calling myself clean. I tapered down to a 1/2tsp and then a bit less than that of kratom this past week or two, which was when things started to get a bit hairy, but now I have been off for over 48 hours and I wouldn't even say I have any withdrawals at all at this point. Maybe a bit of lethargy but I also drank a bit last night
I slept like 10 hours last night, not without waking up and had plenty of crazy dreams, but after a week of being exhausted and getting no more than 2 or 3 hours/night I am so relieved. I didn't get any chills or sweats or vomiting, and the RLS was confined to occasional feelings in my legs at times when I was trying to sleep, not my whole body nonstop for a week. I got a bit of depression and cravings, but nothing extreme.
I can't even say how happy I am about getting off. Took about 7 months since I quit herion, and was by far the easiest kick I have ever had. Not easy, but in my opinion kratom is the maintenance/taper aid that suboxone claims to be. If you're not going to use it like that, sure it could probably be a rough time, but in this case it really saved my sanity, job, and probably my life.

I know that you're going through your own shit, but I would get over the opiates and stick to krat. I know I've told you that before, and really the only thing I have to back it up is it worked for me, but it's just a better life.
For what opiates offer they make you feel really miserable and empty in the end. I can definitely relate to the using opiates in a romantic and an escapist sense, but there's just so much more deeper and more meaningful holes in life to fall into. Sometimes it's better to feel things, even if it's painful, awkward, and uncomfortable.
I'm 9 months off heroin and probably about 45 days off kratom. Whoo.

I'm super glad to be alive on this earth.
I'm so happy that I can feel again.
All these kids out there think life's so great when you party all the time. There needs to be a contrast. There is no light without the dark. Being comfortable is boring.
There's a thousand better ways to throw your life away.
2 months and 2 days clean of opiates and i've never been better.

i just wanna say thank you to everyone here for participating in this support group
if anyone ever wants to talk one on one or just needs someone to relate to about opiate addiction feel free to me
quitting H has helped me to see what i really want in life and why i havent gotten it yet
what i really want most of all is to help people and see people feel good about themselves, sadly my whole life i tried to do this many ways that were all completely wrong
now im starting to learn how to help people truly and having people help me has been a great help, i cant do it alone and i know that now
love all of you

Yeah I find myself spending on all sorts of ludicrous things now that I am off dope. Food, clothes, bills. I don't have any savings to speak of but I do have a bit of equity at least in that I own things of value and am not compelled to sell them for pennies on the dollar.
10 months now. About 3 off kratom. I'm actually clean off all drugs other than nicotine and alcohol atm.
