Just stumbled upon this thread! So glad theres a place here for us opiate addicts!

I Been away from shroomery for a good few years cause of my struggles with heroin. Its been a really rough road the past 6 years Id go a year using heroin everyday and than try and kick and get a couple weeks clean than end up relapsing again and again and again. It felt like its been a never ending cycle of trying to be well.

In oct of last year I finally decided to go and try methadone out. It was literally my last chance if this wasn't gonna keep me off the street I was about to just give it all up on living a good life. Thankfully a month or so into getting into the clinic I finally was able to shake the routine of getting up and heading straight to the dopeman in the morning before I went on with my day. I really don't care what some people think about methadone. Its about survival for me now and if that's what its gonna take for me to stay off the street away from all the shadiness and the shit way of life I was living than that's what I am gonna do. I tried rehabs, cold turkey detoxes, buying subs off the street to get clean with, and I never lasted more than 6 weeks without going back out. The clinic to me is a godsend right now.
  Now since I have some time off the heroin I have been able to finally start to find myself again. Slowly but surely I'm getting my hobbies back like collecting comics, Gaming, reading, writing, and since may I have even quit smoking cigs and skateboarding again! I haven't been this happy since I was in my early 20s!
 
  That's the short version of my story of addiction. It feels good to be back here and be able to talk about my struggles. We are all blessed to still be here I wouldn't wish opiate addiction on my worst enemy that's forsure.

I know its 1000x worse getting off than dope. I was full aware of that. Id rather be stuck on it than stuck going to the dopeman everyday stealing from family and possibly dieing from the surge in fent dope that's been going around my area. Its killed 3 friends of mine since I been out the dope game. That's what scares me the most that fent dope around here has been hella bad!! One day you can go down the the dope spot and get some normal shit the next you can get shit that will put you on the floor. Whoever is cutting the shit with that is seriously evil imo! I was never a big fan of the feeling fent gave me either its to short acting imo..

  Whatever you do try as hard as you can to get off the oral habit before it gets worse! Its easier said than done I know but if I woulda stopped for good my first year addicted to opiates when I was snorting the old red 10 mg opanas it would have been easier than what it progressed to that's forsure. I remember when they switched the formula to the opanas and was so upset that they weren't snortable like the old 10s I was able to get. That's when I started sucking on fent patches for a short while and in that time got introduced to snorting heroin and it was a wrap after that 4 months or so into snorting I said the classic words everyone says when they start snorting dope that they "will never IV to gradually telling myself ay I'm spending so much money everyday and not getting high why not IV once in awhile to save money just keep it at a special occasion thing ya know" ;p I was in for years of insanity now looking back I don't know how I came up with so much loot everyday just to keep me well it baffles me!
  Best of luck to you my friend!!!

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.




Welcome! keep on doing what your doing as long as its working! :wink:

Had to take a detour today to my moms house which lead my right past one of my old dopemans house and him and a couple other dealers were outside just gave me the chills the thought of stopping to cop was there but I said fuck it. I been off the needle and on methadone maintenance now for so long that with my dose It would have just been a huge waste anyways.. Thank god for being on methadone. With subs I could have copped and just not taken my dose in the am and got lit. that's whats helped me stay away from all the bullshit these past 10 months. Even if I really wanted to cop it would take me a couple days of not taking my dose to get it out of my system I tried to get high over my dose once back in Nov and I shot a lil under a half G of Fire and it didn't do jack. That's when I really knew it wasn't even worth it to try anymore its nothing but dangerous to try and get high over your methadone or sub dose. The length of time the methadone blocks my receptors has given me time to talk myself down to my senses alot and not cop..  shits no joke.. stay safe everyone! If anyone is ever struggling to not use and wants to chat they can always send me a PM! :heart:

It really does feel good to now be able to save some money or even just go out and buy cool things that you would never have gotten while using dope. Now that I have been clean I have so much stuff I am proud of. I was the same way when I first got clean I felt like I was screwing my self over when I would go out to the mall or the grocery store. I felt like if I spent that money on stuff other than heroin I would have a bad day and not have money to cop. That feeling goes away trust me and than sooner or later now when I look back I realize I was just making reservations to get high. It takes alot of fully let go of opiates and the lifestyle Im still struggling it will always be a battle for me to an extent.
Today I saw on the news about half my dope dealers got busted in my city I guess they have been under investigation for the past year. It will be a year in Nov since I got clean so I got out of dealing with them just in time. Im lucky cause I could have easily gotten busted one of the times Id go out daily. Heres the link to the article crazy shit! Even tho they are gone I still know more I could go to but I feel all of their days are numbered and eventually if I keep up being clean I wont have any connects anymore.

4 weeks, no opiates.  It's funny being more self-conscious than I have in so long, but also doing so much better.  It's such an odd impulse, but I'm doing better and better.





Grats my friend! Things will slowly but surely start to turn around for you as long as you keep away from the dope. It takes time thats the part I had trouble with I never was good at  waiting for things in my life to get better before I knew it I was  back using. Now that in a month and a half or so it will be a year I can finally see good things comming my way. Still have alot of work to do but its starting to happen..

Yeah it's so nice feeling ok in the morning, and get through a day of work without making excuses to dip out or try to work sick which makes for the longest days imaginable.

I made it a month and a half around new years.  Actually my second longest clean time since like 2005.  I told myself though, I just want to shoot something, I'm going to get some coke.  You wouldn't think it but that was actually not a good idea :lol: here I am nine months later still trying to get back to that point.




I totally agree! I sure don't miss waking up every morning sick as a dog rushing around to make the 20 min drive I had to make to the dopeman every morning. It would especially be bad waking up not having any money having to figure out what to do to get enough loot to atleast get right trying to shoot my old cottons. Nasty ass shit thats forsure. I wouldnt wish it on my worst enemy.

Dreams of trying to get high and never QUITE getting the hit seem very common. I cannot count the number of times I have the dope, the water, the rig...then no lighter or whatever, or constant interruptions stopping ya from shooting up. It is so weird, the brain can do so many awesome things in dreamland, ya would think your mind would cut you a break and just let you imitate the feeling of a shot while sleeping.

Maybe that would be worse, being high in a dream and waking up fiending..? Who knows, s00per common though, and I think an unavoidable part of the addict mentality..

Stay strong any and all with even a day or 2 under your belt. I seriously believe if I could get a month under my belt I would be so god damn happy to be free of that daily hell. Don't let your mind play tricks on you, do you wanna have to kick from scratch again??

Good luck and even gooder vibes y'all.

:heart:




I still get dreams every once in awhile where i cop some dope and im getting it ready and right when im sticking myself about to do my hit is when i wake up.  The first few months of being clean the dreams I would have were VERY vivid theyd fuck me up all morning but now that im going on a year here in a couple months the dreams have reduced down to maybe one or so a month and they arent anything I cant brush aside thankfully.

Whats up fellow opiate addicts?! Just wanted to check in and see how everyone has been here. Still working towards my two year mark off heroin in Nov. Been tapering down on my methadone and finally got on Harvoni to treat my hep c. Im about a week into treatment and the side effects to the harvoni are very minor just the occasional head ache here and there and fatigue. Im sure blessed to have gotten into a program to help cover this treatment because my first attempt at getting the Harvoni got denied. Thankfully my Dr faught for me to get it before it actually did damage to my liver.
  All in all things have been great finally can say my life is comming together. Its a tought battle to stay off the dope but its possible everyone has their own way you just gotta find the right way for you :smile:

I been on methadone for a lil over three and a half yrs that shit saved my life that forsure. Now that is been yrs since I've had a dirty drop I only have to go in once a week so its not bad at all. The past 2 yrs I've been slowly tapering from 95mgs now down to 27mgs. Looking back at where I was at 4 yrs ago from now is a HUGE difference now I'm back traveling and going to music festivals in the summer and taking care of my family.
It also has helped my girlfriend we both went to the clinic around the same time after our addictions got so bad I was robbing my family daily and things were very unmanageable. Thankfully I got help when I did cause I know I was on the verge of being 100% on the street if I woulda let things go on for another yr if not dead since around the time I quit was also when the fent laced dope started coming around more and was the start of friends I used with dieing I've now lost count at how many friends have died since I've been at the clinic def makes me think about how luck I really am.

I have been turned down by the methadone clinic 3 times, but I was seeing a pain management doctor. Hopefully,  things will change Monday and they will let me in now that the doctor has dropped me.

I'm terrified of having to go through withdrawal and deal with my pain issues at the same time, it's the only thing that has ever made me suicidal and I'm not that kind of person, but pain takes me to a place that I can't deal with on my own.




I feel you on that! a little over a yr ago a yr ago I got very sick with prostititus which is a infection in your prostate and I was in so much pain on top of constantly peeing I dunno how it happened and the drs couldn't tell me anything either it lasted for weeks aswell and on the 3rd week of going thru that agony I broke down and found a heroin dealer and copped. The dope I got was def fent and the feeling I got from it wasn't what I was hoping for I was high as hell but it wasn't that euphoric heroin high.

The next day after fucking up I beat myself up a bit about it but I told myself I just have to make sure I don't go back again I needed to just get thru the sickness and pain I was dealing with and not cave.

Thankfully I did just that and didn't go back out and since then prostititus went away but now I have an enlarged prostate which from the sounds of it ill have to deal with for the rest of my life (I'm in my 30s btw). The prescription they been having me take for it seems to be helping alot atleast. It just pissed me off that I gotta deal with this shit in my 30s normally you don't hear about shit like that happening to people my age but I been trying to remind myself that things could be MUCH MUCH worse in many different ways everything else in my life has never been better and I don't even count that one slip up a relapse now if I woulda kept going out for the next week or so then that woulda been a relapse in my eyes.
