breaking the habit...

Stopping my use of opiates after today cold turkey. I wouldn't consider myself heavily addicted but a regular user 3-5 days a week 30-60 mg. oxycodone or hydrocodone oral and very occasional (once a month MAX) IV hydromorphone. I don't really enjoy the high that much anymore, I'm using mainly for energy at work. I think my habit is hurting my relationship with my girlfriend.in several ways, it's a financial strain, and it's not too healthy. I am taking a large dose of mescaline tonight, followed by a week diet consisting of white rice, flax seed, raw green foliage, water and detox tea.For this week I will also be refraining from smoking cannabis. I just wanted to make my intentions public to help me keep them.

It does get expensive. It helps me with work and study for sure, but I've noticed that I'm kind of an asshole while on them and I don't like that.

But from experience I'm gonna give you a little tip. Cold Turkey at least for me was simply a ticket to relapse and even more prolonged addiction. Try weening yourself down first. To like 10 mg's a day, would be ideal.
