Good idea for a thread man, since going through trauma around the Christmas period my heroin usage has increased tremendously. I want to get clean for a while to be able to go out more and be more active.
I have been clean for three days but had enough of aching and feeling like shit so I had to get a bag. I'll probably use it all tonight and hope that I can make it longer next time, I don't even get severe withdrawal but the pain in my knees and lower back stops me from being able to sit still and sleep for longer than a hour or so at a time. Diazepam helps but I've stopped taking that, and cannabis doesn't seem to help. I always tell myself that I'll just use enough to alleviate the symptoms, however once it's there I always just keep going until I'm out.

I'm the only junkie of my friends group, one of my best mates is on the methadone program, he used to be a lot worse than myself, ended up pinning, but he's doing good these days.
I relapsed today which was stupid of me but I am gradually tapering down. I plan on going a few months soon, it was never an issue for me when I used to use once a month and stick to that; given my psyche was much healthier, but hopefully I can still go back to that.

I've no idea how some of you are able to just stop cold turkey, I find it really difficult to do everyday tasks when withdrawing.
It's poppy season over here so I'm making some pod tea to feel okay. I did it yesterday and it worked to an extent, however I think I threw it up too early; I hate sitting there waiting for nausea to pass, so I always opt for making myself sick.

God damn, I actually prefer the taste of a codeine cold water extraction. I only used 5 medium pods so I'm not expecting a lot, just to not have back pain will do though.

I know what you're saying, I've been forcing myself to do pull ups and stuff, takes your mind off the physical dysphoria. I'm currently taking pregabalin to ease the withdrawal, it's all I have access to at the moment but actually works quite well.

"Relinquishing junk. Stage one, preparation. For this you will need one room which you will not leave. Soothing music. Tomato soup, ten tins of. Mushroom soup, eight tins of, for consumption cold. Ice cream, vanilla, one large tub of. Magnesia, milk of, one bottle. Paracetamol, mouthwash, vitamins. Mineral water, Lucozade, pornography. One mattress. One bucket for urine, one for feces and one for vomitus. One television and one bottle of Valium, which I've already procured from my mother, who is, in her own domestic and socially acceptable way also a drug addict. And now I'm ready. All I need is one final hit to soothe the pain while the Valium takes effect".

Just be mindful man, methadone weakens your bones and has a worse withdrawal. But hey, if you need it to avoid robbing people etc then go ahead.

Yeah, I agree, there have been many fatalities due to heroin cut with fentanyl.

Fair trade off really, if it keeps for you stealing then more power to you, it is for this reason I support the methadone program; irrespective of the higher addiction potential.

Try not fall back into the negative behavioural patterns man. I'm past a week now and don't plan on scoring anytime soon, when I do, inevitably, I'm going to see if I can manage to keep a bag around without using it.
If I can get strung out like once a month or whatever and keep it to that I wouldn't consider myself to be addicted, and the withdrawal symptoms would be almost non-existent; that is, at least I never noticed them before I started using everyday for extensive periods.

I agree with what you've said, it's very probably I'll slip back into old habits eventually. It's very much an all or nothing drug for most, so it seems.

Unfortunatley our government banned all the legal psychoactive drugs, I doubt I can even get it anymore. I do agree, it seems to be really useful in that respect.
