 I'm addicted....

i can't stop drinking or doing poppy tea.
On Monday i drank then took poppy tea and there was times during that night i was sitting at my computer listening to my music nodding out and i kept stopping breathing, i puked like fuck in the morning, had a very painful headache and i still want more.
I think I'm addicted to using anything that will give me some sort of feeling.
I used to find it easy to control my usage of substances until i started using opiates, now it seems I'm addicted to anything i use, probably cos I'm trying to replace each addiction with a different one.
It fucking sucks, i don't even really like drinking but i keep doing it.
I've lost most of my control.

Take it easy and look inside, find out what feeling you're trying to replace with getting high.
Then realie that the danger you're putting your life in isn't worth it. Life is worth living.

My advice is to find those things that give pleasure and do them often without too much attachment and relax and wait for the show to end.

sounds like a worst case scenario. if you're being truthful, I think you should seek out help in person immediately (unless you want to become a statistic).

'I've lost most of my control.'
Oh man you need to stop using them immediately. I would recommend visiting some other websites (such as the somniforums) or some other opiate addiction website and talk with some people who might be able to help share your experience. If you cannot bring yourself to stop (and you cant get through the withdrawal effects) you should seek help such as rehab, counseling, or group meetings.
If you can stop alone, do it, and endure the episode of withdrawal, and throw that shit away, chop down your poppy plants, cut yourself off from your connection, and from any friends who continue to do the shit.
first things first... Stop using.

alcohol + opiates are a very, very dangerous combination, especially if you don't know how your body reacts to them together in small amounts. if you keep this up, you will die, i guarantee it

it's easy, throw or give away the drugs, and fight through it. or if you're heavily addicted have someone taper your doses down.
smoke pot if you'd like/want, and if you don't think you can give up liquor, drink beer.

Agreed...
I got hooked on oxy's (for like a year)
then stopped and it sucked ass for a week.. but after that week I felt great!!! really great... heh heh
stay away from the opiates.. they are evil when you get addicted... and when you can't find them you try to replace them with anything.. soo.... stay away from the pods.
*Also try to stay as active as possible.. find stuff to do... paint, hike, skate, fish, jog, anything to keep yourself busy.

you almost died.
opiate overdoses cause death through stopping your breathing. you were literally a few sips from dying.
you seriously need to get some help, you need to find someone in your life you can tell this to, someone that is CLEAN, and that you can trust to do the right thing, regardless of how much it might 'suck' for you.

I've not used opiates since Monday night and the last time i drank was Wednesday, i only had 1.5 beers, (i had 3 left, i split them between my and my friend).
My body hurts a little but nothing i can't handle, I'm not puking and shitting myself or anything.
So it's just a psychological addiction, which can be strong in itself.
I think i can do it, it was a close call, and a wake up call too.
I don't know if i should completely stop drinking but i should stop drinking by myself i think and just drink socially.
I can stop opiates but a few moths later when everything seems OK i end up using again because it seems that I'm safe.
Maybe there is no such thing as moderation with opiates
What do you think?

there is such a thing as moderation with opiates but you must have a clear definition what you are taking them for. Treatment of pain, sleep aid or experiencing another state of mind are justifiable reasons but when the reason is wanting effortless happiness, that is when the problem starts. The addiction is mental as well as physical of course, so having the will power is the main thing that is needed to quit, the rest is just endurance.
If you keep quitting then going back I think the problem will only get worse with time and eventually you will have to fight off some bad withdrawals. Make it clear to yourself that you can gain no benefit from this drug, and never go back to it.
If you need a substitute to help you through, try picking up some kratom, ashwaghanda and passion flower, these helped me lots.

What is unsettling is that i never knew it could be so easy to die taking opiates, you could pretty much just stop breathing and thats that, you're dead. End of story.

I think thats awesome man. That you've realized a problem that surfaced as a result of drug use and tackled it is a very good sign that you wont have any crazy relapses or anything. Like someone in the last post said, from opiates you've probably gained all you can from them, and at this point they do not help you but in fact cause problems; theres no point to use them anymore. Save opiates for when you may really need them, like if you ever break a leg or endure a painful operation or something.
As far as the drinking, you again seem to pinpoint where the problem begins. Personally, I feel that when a person is drinking alone all the time, it usually is a sign that there may addiction problems. Also if it is necessary that you drink every time you are with friends that may be a problem as well. It sounds like you know man, control is the key. If you can say, fuckit, lets not drink tonight, and you dont start to get super moody or have other signs of withdrawal, you probably have enough control (so long as youre not downing a bottle of suaza when you do choose to drink). Moderate it.
Nice job through the week man. You handled it.

It seems, other than physical addication to opiates, that you have an addictive personality. You could use this to your advantage. Why don't you try and replace your negative addictions with positive addictions.
examples of positive addictions:
-non-physically addictive herbal teas: Since you're an opiate addict, I would suggest looking into calming teas (chammomile, kratom, passionflower..)
-exercise: gives you a great body high, gives you lots of physical energy and mental clarity
-eat healthy, well balanced meals
-meditation: can heal your addiction
-accupuncture/accupressure: can also help heal your addiction
-interact with recovering/former opiate addicts
-drink lots of water, take daily multivitamins, try fasting: to help get your body/mind back in balance.
Hope this may have helped a bit, I wish you lots of luck and success, much love.

walk into the wild with nothing but sacred teachers in your pocket.
when your habitual thoughts and emotions which correlate with your used pop up, just observe them and know they are not you. You are what is observing the habitual thoughts. Then let the habitual thoughts go. Do this many times throughout the day.
peace and blessings brother. get addicted to the positive stuff.

find a healthy addiction that gives you a good feeling- like exercise... a long jog gives u a great high because ur body produces natural pain killers/endorphins after so much stress on the body.
man after a 45 min run I feel so high and I love it... They call it "runners high" do a search. I used to be a regular user of a few substances including coke where I would do an eightball at a time to myself... I no longer use anything except weed here and there. replacing your bad habits with good ones is KEY to overcoming this. you can do this.
try kratom I hear it is good for helping treat opiate addictions
ps- dont order any more pods if they arent there u cant make tea
