I would like to introduce myself. I am a long time lurker and first time poster on Hip Forums. I would like to start off by saying that I have never done opiates and have no desire to ever try them. I am here because over the past few months my younger brother has had problems with abusing opiates and other various pharmaceuticals. After getting him professional help, and witnessing several relapses, I have decided to join so I can use the members here for help and information. As a result of his addictions and problems, I myself have become fascinated with the drugs themselves, and the behavior of those who habitually use/abuse them. Im not here to criticize or be your parent. I am here because I feel it is the only place I can turn for accurate information regarding opiate use and addiction. Some of the things I see on these boards scare me, and others intrigue me, I'm not going to lie. With that being said, Thanks for welcoming me to the forums, and I hope to engage in some enlightening conversations with some of you in the near future. Hopefully, I will be able to voice some of my concerns and observations to you, as well as get valuable feedback from you as well ragarding opiates and the grasp they can take on ones life. Take care and be safe, --LTHG.
Opiates are the shit. They are my DOC and i do them daily and have done them daily for about 5-6 years but i keep my use under control so i don't have to go through WD's. I'm an expert with all opiates so feel free to ask some questions.
hey welcome to the forums, to me opiates are recreational, I do 20-40mg of oxy 1-3 days a week, my tolerance never goes up, and I never have W/Ds or cravings, as Oxymorph said, just post your questions and you'll get lots of answers if you don't mind may I ask what parts you find "scary"?
ahhh understandable, I wonder how long till he notices our friendly resident junkies are the functional kind, not the type who would do anything for a fix (or at least mention that part)
well this is true. however, i think alot of what draws the line between those two categories of junkies is if you make enough money to support your habit and you have a decent hookup, then you're "functional" otherwise...you do what it takes i used to look down on h users as well until my oxy just got too expensive (sound like anyone else?) however im proud to say that ive been clean for a couple weeks and am successfully weening myself off of suboxone (now taking about 1-1.5mg a day)
haha good for you hum, I think im the only person who has never looked down on H users, now coke heads that's a totally dif story (as a former addict I know how low some sink), whats weird is from the second i tried blow I was hooked, but with oxy I fully can control it
thanks man. haha thats really weird ive definitely done my fair share of coke and have never once felt like i could be addicted to it...just not my drug. do you use it recreationally anymore?
not at all, I dont enjoy the speedy tweaky paranoid feeling, im already a hyper person so I just love the calm nodding euphoria my mother opiate brings me
yeah I was pretty ignorant about people who like heroin till i visited the opiforum. turns out they're just like everyone else. some good some bad, etc. coke is ickypants, opiates are neato
Hmm, I have no info for you about opiate addiction but all I can tell you is I'm liking the oxycotin up my nose at the moment.
2 very good points.... If his pill habit gets too expensive, he may soon turn to Heroin, like I and many others did. Also.. I think you said you have tired treatment, have you explored the MMT or Suboxone route?
What's up LTHG? I hope your brother can make it through the shit. It's rough and most people I know cannot use occasionally, maybe at first, but then they get deeper into the shit. If you have any questions I can help with, let me know. I am sure the other Hip Forums posters have similar answers and you have come to a good place for info. - NICU
haha seriously. well see if it comes back to bite him in the ass or not.. kil0 wasn't addicted either
