Happy for you Supadave. How's MB doing? Haven't seen him in a few years now.

Part of his sobriety is lock up, does that count or not?
My A.A. sponsor says it definitely counts and he's 30 years sober so I trust his opinion.
I was locked up for the first 10 months of my sobriety. It's not as easy as you think being sober in jail. No alcohol, but drugs are very plentiful and there are a lot of reasons to want to be fricked up.

I stay at the house when I’m not working.
After you’ve been clean for a length of time, it’s possible to get a natural high from listening to music, hearing something uplifting, etc

still addicted to opiates. tried many times to quit. too young and afraid to go to rehab. I've been able to sustain a good job and not go completely broke. but its only a matter of time before I go under. praying one day I'll wake up and be mentally stronger...
I guess it's karma. when I was younger(highschool) I thought addicts were weak people(and maybe we are...). But three unrelated surgeries and far to many pills prescribed and here I am

10 yrs of that misery, until finally endured a 3-day forced withdrawal (In a detox) and then Suboxone.
Worst/best 3 days of my life as I had to man up like never before. But I did it...just make it thru the 72 hrs before trying the Sub...it's like being reborn.
2/21/17. Haven't looked back.
Don't lose hope. It can be done when YOU'RE ready for it.

So...You're still taking the subs?
Posted on 6/22/19 at 12:39 am to Mr Clean
I am. I talk about it often on here. No shame.

He's good, from what I can tell from Facebook. I haven't seen him in a few years either, but his he and his dad did a bunch of work for my parents after the flood and it sounds like he's doing great.

I feel as if sub is trading one evil for another... is it worth it? my biggest problem is my good friend is way more addicted than me. and when I try to stop he'll hit me up asking if I want any(you have to buy a certain amount from a guy to get them.. so its not really him being a good guy but really needing me so he can get some). the temptation is too hard to deny. I know I should block him. but hes a good friend(an excuse I tell myself).
Every time I try and quit it just takes one bad day or shitty experience with someone and I say I deserve it. It's pretty pathetic the lengths you'll go through to convince yourself you deserve it. Can't tell how many "last pill ever" I have taken. It's crazy because the high isnt even that great anymore. but it still doesnt stop me.

I'm afraid I wont be "ready to quit" until something bad happens and its too late. Like I get fired from lack of motivation or end up dead from an OD. The fact that I know this shite is so fricking bad and life ruining and still do it is what hurts the most

My whole life is in a state of recovery.

Who's your enabler?
No TD bs, who are they?
(If you really have a desire to quit, you'll tell them what they are and how, because for every addict, there's an enabler. And I've got the t-shirt for both sides brother. Godspeed to you good man.)
(And I'd appreciate the same.)

I'm in recovery. Alcohol got the best of me. Some people can drink a few beers and be fine but not me. My stop button is broken and if I ever have one drink I won't stop until something stops me. It sucks because I would like to have a couple and watch the game but at this point the negative far outweighs the positive. Life is great though as long as I stay away from that first drink.

Exactly the same way.
I’m on my fourth serious attempt. This is day 9. This feels like the first time that I’m all in somehow. Going back to get together with old friends for the 4th...I feel like if I can make it through that I’m going to be in the clear for a while. Time will tell.

Good luck brother. Alcoholism has been devastating to me. I have to stay vigilant every day because that shite is sneaky and will frick with my head telling me it's okay when I know exactly where it will lead me everytime. It's a life or death situation for me. Dbama254@gmail if you ever need anything

10/14/14. Not the 1st date but so far the last. And I dont plan on changing it.

The withdrawal symptoms are absolutely no joke. My story is trivial compared to all of y’alls but it made me understand why there is an addiction crisis going on.
I had surgery this past week and per the doctor, I am suffering advanced withdrawal symptoms from whatever they gave me in surgery as well as the hydrocodone. I went yesterday and the doc said even though it was a mild dose, everyone reacts differently so when I stopped taking the meds, my body went into withdrawal and I had all the symptoms. Fever, cold sweats, constipation, teary eyed at everything, nausea, anxiety, heart issues. My resting heart rate was 96 in the doctors office compared to 63.
I know I’m a pussy compared to you guys but I am sorry for anyone who crosses that path where they need to go to detox and withdrawal. After having a very mild introduction, I have no doubt in my mind if I continued to take those pills, I would have become addicted just to avoid the withdrawal symptoms.
Doc said I should be clear in the next 24-36 hours and gave me a beta blocker to help. Last night was the first night in 3 nights I slept more than 2 hours.
