I don't get how you guys can drink when going through WD's, that shit would drive me into a bottomless depression, I just can't do it, also I feel like it's much harder to get hydrated again after getting buzzed, and I don't like that.

Awesome, I really hope you keep at it. It might sound lame to some, but caffeine and dark chocolate really helped me through WD's, I still consume them on the regular.

The physical WD's were hell, but the mindset (PAWS) was by far much worse for me to deal with. It took me a while to get my energy back, and I attribute much of that to depression from losing my best friend (dope)
PAWS made me feel like my WD's were still present even a month after getting clean, I didn't really feel like I was even close to normal after 3 months of no dope, but slowly I started to come around. I had to fill the void in my life, and that is where exercise came into play, it really helps a lot.

It happens man, I've been sliding back and forth between wanting to use and not myself. It's really a fucked up thing.

Well, don't beat yourself up over this, just be careful that your tolerance is not low and you OD.

Checking in!
My kick sesh started 3 days ago. So this is my third day sober from buprenorphine.
AMAZINGLY my kratom worked today, so nothing could be better. Getting myself ready for some 2C-B healing and later on some shroom healing.
Wish the rest the best of luck. All tips are appreciated... Buprenorphine is such a good anti-deppresive drug, but it is not worth it in the end.

I've been on a suboxone taper for the last 6 months since I relapsed on Some Brooklyn Brown and Overdosed in my bathroom. I had NYC police wake me up with Narcan. I was back out shooting that night. I realized I needed Replacement therapy to properly get my life structured. I'm currently at .25MG a day and plan to jump in 2 weeks. I send positive vibes to anyone still walking around with this monkey on their back. I've almost shaken mine. Lets see.

Thats a subjective opinion. Most people don't succeed with Buprenorphine because they don't properly taper to a low enough dose and have a inadequate schedule. I know thousands of posts where users of all different forums firmly believe in Bupe. The problem tends to lie with unscrupulous doctors who want you to become a regular at the "Business". I disregarded everything my DR said and followed precise tapering advise from tried and true addicts.I'm sorry you had no success with Bupe. But don't discredit its medicinal value.

8 days clean from opiates (poppy pods specifically) so I am still in acute withdrawal, albeit very minor. It's just runny nose, tearing, pooping alot, some discomfort and lack of motivation/slightly lethargic left now. Kratom has pretty much got me through it. I also went cold turkey cigarettes (40~ super kings a day) so I've had a comfortable cough. I can feel my lungs get cleaner by the day. My lungs feel 10 times better already.
For past 2 days, I've felt worse but I actually think I have a cold. Of course, it COULD be withdrawal (and my lungs clearing themselves from stopping smoking) but, Kratom pretty much made me feel fine/remove withdrawal symptoms but not these past 2 days, I still have the runny nose/typical cold symptoms.
Probably have another 5 to 6 days of minor withdrawal but, it'll be easy.
I've got a ton of stuff planned when I am through withdrawal, including several day long camping/hiking in the Scottish wilderness to get my body cleansed and healthier. I REALLY doubt I'll relapse anytime soon. Having to order opiates over the internet, I just can't give into my cravings and go to a dealer 10 minutes away. That's a big help. I also don't keep money in my bank account, so I literally can't order any 
I've got bigger cravings for cigarettes than opiates (although the Kratom is helping)
-------------------- Pain is temporary. It may last for a minute or an hour or a day or even a year but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it will last forever.

Damn you got lucky, you can buy narcan OTC now correct? Might be wise to carry some with you just in case, you know let anyone you're with know you have it just in case.
