Hi everyone. I have been reading these posts for a while now.. and I kinda felt like I should actually add something to the posts.. I don't wanna ramble too much, but I always enjoyed reading other ppl's stories and backgrounds so I guess i'll give mine..
Let's see, i'll start by stating that I am 30 years old, and I suppose any serious addiction had started about 5 or 6 years ago. I had always been willing to party and try just about anything, and I probably have tried just about everything.. in the beginning it was pretty innocuous and nothing really seemed to have an adverse effect on me.. prolly cuz for years it was only pot, hash, mushrooms, acid and the like.. so I had begun to think that ALL drugs were like that.. you buy the ticket, take the trip... and then it happened.. somebody introduced me to
oxycodone.. and you know what, even tho I got into them pretty heavy, I have to say that when I stopped, I really didn't have any withdrawal symptoms.. I didn't know anything about withdrawal, and stopping the oxys really didn't bother me that much.. i dunno why, i've read a lot about ppl going crazy from oxy withdrawal, I dunno, just didn't bother me... so, of course, I hadn't learned any real lesson from it.. I stopped because it was costing me so much money, not for any physical problems.. but then I was introduced to heroin from a 'friend'. This is where it all started to go bad. In the beginning, it didn't seem to be a problem, and slowly, over a couple of years, I kept going back to it heavier and heavier until it became an everyday thing. That's when it's too late.. I virtually sold everything I had when the money ran out, anything to feed the habit. Now, i've read some posts wherein some woman claimed that withdrawal was 'nothing' but I can assure you she wasn't doing heroin everyday. You can't really compare these 'mother's little helper' pills to smack, I don't care what you say. I have gone cold turkey a couple times and every time led to insomnia, fever, sweats, vomiting, diarreah, etc. It really is no joke. The last time I went cold, it was because I moved out of state, to the other end of the country, and had severe withdrawal for 3 days.. including actually fainting and hitting my head pretty good on the way down. And as soon as I was able, I got on a bus and came back home to the city, where I sorta jumped back into it.. this is where i am now.. I got back into it for about 10 days.. which is a bit too long to do it without paying for it.. but this time, me and a friend who i was doing it with took the last 25 dollars we had and broke down and bought ONE single suboxin (yes, they charge up the ass for them on the street around here) and we split it.. we both took a QUARTER of one this morning, yesterday being the last day we did dope, and it really cut the withdrawal symptoms to a bare minimum.. we both have a quarter left which we plan to do tomorrow, cuz as any hard-core junky knows, day 2 is the WORST. But the fact that i'm sitting here writing this instead of being in bed should tell you that these things really work. It would have been nice if we both had a good amount each, but being deperate we took what we could get, and it still helped a great deal. As I sit here, i'm a lil sweaty and my back hurts just a little bit, but, it's nothing compared to not taking any. I don't know what's going to happen in the future, but, a lot of ppl on here ask how to get off **** at home, and I can honestly say suboxin works wonders... after 2 or 3 days, it's all up to you to not go back to it. Hard, I know.. but, after physical w/d is gone, it's not as hard to keep at it.. I wish you all luck, and wish me luck too!
