I started doing drugs years ago as a teenage, got addicted to heroin. Spent my whole life fighting heroin addiction. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with cptsd. Not until my mom recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.

Mushrooms are very medicinal. This is why anybody familiar with psilocybin and any other kind of fungi will tell you, "They are alive." They have a very ancient wisdom. To my experience, all mushrooms have always said, "Pay attention to your life. How you think, how you feel, and what will you do with the information that you always knew, but now are seeing in this point of view." This is why mushrooms are so respected in tribal cultures. This mental health treatment works for me too. Half micro doses do the trick for me. At least a few days at a time with lengthy time in between. Never addictive. Thank you for sharing this point!

Seriously, it is no laughing matter. Remember, it has gotten hold of better people than you and me, and those very same people have never gotten away. It's hard enough to quit if you genuinely want to, but near on impossible if you haven't got the desire or the will to get off it. Be a friend to yourself and never get on that Merry go round.

You can just tell he’s so much healthier. Dropped weight, his eyes are alert, he’s speaking clearly. Man, I hope he stays clean. Due to a chronic pain condition I got really hooked on opioids for about six years. Artie is so right: Drugs DO work. The opioids not only took my severe physical pain away, but they also numbed my depression. For like four years they steadily increased my dosage and I was just in this constant state of bliss. It felt like I was mentally sharp as a tack, but my friends tell me to this day that I was just wasn’t all there. I would just randomly nod off when I’d go hang out with friends, and I remember never being able to find the right words during conversation. When I started developing a REALLY high tolerance, I started running out of my medications really early (it got up to 80mg OxyContin, and either 10mg Percocet or Hydrocodone) and that’s when I discovered opioid withdrawal... and it is without a doubt THE most unpleasant and vile feeling I’ve ever felt, and I’ve been through some significant pain with my medical problems. Honestly, I’d rather experience the pain from my hip again for months before it got replaced last year than go through a week of acute opioid withdrawal again. The hip pain was just one spot, with opioid withdrawals, it’s like your whole body is screaming. You can’t sleep but you don’t wanna be awake. You can’t keep food down if you force yourself to eat. You’re going to the bathroom with severe diarrhea every hour. Constant cold sweats. You can’t keep your legs still. Your emotions come back full-on and it’s overwhelming. So thankful I got through that stuff. Anyways, I didn’t mean to write this much...

John Corbett Or maybe they can get help with Suboxone, or Kratom (which is how I eventually weened off of pain medicine), or some kind of medical help? My comment didn’t have an agenda. If anyone read that who is already addicted to opioids, I’m not saying anything shocking. They most likely already know how sick one gets if they stop cold turkey. I seriously doubt anything I said is going to drive people back to opioids or actively keep them from getting help.

After I developed a dope tolerance, i could cook up and shoot four 30mg Percs at once and it would just barely take the edge off my dope sick, wouldnt even get me totally well, let alone high. Once you getba tolerance dope, its nothing nit dope. Buying pills is just a waste of money. The difference between percoet and fentanyl is like the difference between o’douls and moonshine.

That’s a common line in NA. It’s not his saying but it’s very very true. They work too well. They work by completely curing any negative feelings whatsoever, physical or otherwise. Of course it’s only temporary and they create a load of much worse complications and problems which is why it’s a nightmare. But they work at the time. That’s why they’re so dangerous. So don’t get cocky and think you’re immune because you think you know better. When your life comes crashing down on your head and it’s offered, or pushed on you, then you’ll see just how simple it is to say no. You’ll be fucked. So stay humble.

Used 4 years. Clean 2. The whole thing about you'll crave it every day for the rest of your life is bullshit. I maybe think about it once a month. One week terrible physical withdrawals. I couldn't sleep for 11 days. On the 12th day finally got 2 hours. Then you have a few months of PAWS, post-acute withdrawal symptoms, where your body balances out back to normal. The 4 hours of feeling very relaxed and cozy is not worth all that pain. For my, my heroin now is sleep, it's sweet, it's free, and it's healthy. Don't ever consider trying it. It will fuck you up. You're not special.

Post acute withdrawal- basically your brains trying to rebalance from being flooded with opiates /dopamine. Your withdrawal is being in shock of not producing the dopamine etc because it's got it from heroin, and the paws is your brain finally starting trying to reproduce the levels it did naturally. If you're not feeling rough/weak/vulnerable/craving then you were VERY lucky. Now use that luck and stay clean and safe.

I was an heroin addict for 4 years. I lost everything. I was a kickboxer who became a junkie loser. All my money, relationships, trust everything gone to shit. My reputation gone I literally couldn’t even save a dollar. I just wanted to die. By the grace of God I met an amazing doctor who put me on methadone. I wasn’t sure I was doing the right thing but I thank god everyday I made that choice. I’m now 3 years clean and have my life back. Started doing what I love which is acting. I have a real job. Started a business. All Trust, love, relationships everything came back. I can actually save money now and have an amazing fiancé. Also seeing a therapist. Doing what I need to be doing. When I’m ready with the help and support of my family and doctor I will start tapering off very slowly. I know getting off methadone is difficult but I would rather take this medicine then do the stuff I was doing any day. It’s not even a question. Even if it takes me couple years to taper off that’s fine because I plan on doing it extremely slowly and properly. All the addicts out there struggling hang in there. One day at a time❤️🙏🏼

He talks about wanting it NOW. The first session I ever had with a therapist when I was trying to kick a non-substance addition, he said “Addicts have an inability to delay gratification.” That stuck with me about as much as anything I’ve heard. This is the crux of it all. When I was drinking heavily, I didn’t have the will to say, “I’ll finish my work and then I’ll have a drink.” It was always, “I’ll have the drink then I’ll do my work.” But of course I was so piss drunk I could never get the work done after the drink. Curious if you other addicts/recovering addicts see that behavior in yourselves.

I honestly can't remember how many times I went through being sick. 12 years of back and forth. I've been sober 3 and a half years and its been the best three and a half years of my life. I was a very slow learner, so what I'm trying to say is this. There is a way out, if you're willing to make the changes.

I used to think people that did heroin were just sh*t bags until my nephew got hooked on it , he’s overdosed 7 times and was brought back with narcan each time , the last time was a few months ago , my brother called me to tell me he was in the icu with two broken ribs and a punctured lung, I’m a tough guy , a firefighter , but I couldn’t even go see him , I cry almost every day worrying about him , I was admitted to the hospital for four days a couple weeks ago with heart issues , I haven’t heard from him in probably 5 months ( the last time he tried to get money from me ) and would’t ya know he text me while I was in the hospital totally out of the blue to ask me for my other brothers phone number ( more than likely to try to get money from him ) , I couldn’t even answer his text because I knew my heart couldn’t take it , and of course now I feel guilty . It’s a horrible drug that not only ruins the lives of the addicts , but the family members who love them . I know I’m gonna rot in hell for not being more supportive of him but whenever I speak to him it kills me and I can physically feel years being taken off my life .

That's actually a common thing. People remain ignorant on the topic of addiction because oversimplifying the topic and demonizing all addicts makes them feel better rather than recognizing the truth and statistics. They only shake off their ignorance when the addiction epidemic comes to their own doorstep. I once had a similar ignorant stance until my best friends little sister suddenly came to him and I admitting she was on heroin and begging us for help. She had been kidnapped and raped and turned to opiates to treat the mental anguish she was going through from the trauma. She never even smoked or drank before that happened. She's a couple years clean now.

One can never truly know opiate withdrawal without experiencing it. The closest I can compare it to mentally is like drowning to death while single mindedly craving just a sip of air while knowing if you come up & take a breath you are just going to start drowning all over again. Physically, for me at least, it was absolute torture, worse than every pain I've experienced, being burned & electrocuted at the same time x1000 while having a flu so severe you alternate thinking you might die to praying for death. Don't *ever* do opiates, pills or heroin. If your hooked, find & ask for help now. You can get better

It's crazy out on the streets now. There's basically zero heroin around now in 2021. Fent wears off after a few hours or kills you. Heroin you could be fine doing a shot every 12 hours And now it's Fent +Xylazine (horse tranquilizer, related to Clonidine) so I guess maybe that makes it last longer, I don't know. But the people on Kensington Ave in Philly look like zombies. I've just seen the videos I'm glad I got most of that stuff out of my system back in 2001-2006 when at least it was actual heroin.

It got to a point where I started to get furious at him and told him to stop taking Xanax before him or his buddy end up dead, and I told him to never come to my place again when he’s high. About a month later his buddy dies from fentanyl overdose and I don’t think he’s done any drugs since then.

@hunters6940

There’s a little bit of a misconception with the Suboxone though. You get precipitated withdrawal when you take an opioid blocker after being addicted to any sort of opioid. So it doesn’t have to be fentanyl, could be heroin, oxycodone, hydrocodone, hydroxymorphone, etc. and that happens when you don’t wait the mandatory three day period before starting Suboxone. Doesn’t happen with methadone now. And some people will still get precipitated withdrawal after three days, especially if they’re on a drug with a really long half life, like if they were addicted to methadone. Fentanyl actually has a significantly shorter half-life than heroin. Heroin has like a plasma half-life of 1.2 to 2 hours, fentanyl only has a plasma half-life of 1.8 minutes or something like that. So people can withdrawal like 10 times a day on fentanyl. But what that also means, is that you have to wait less time before you can take Suboxone. So there’s actually less of a risk of getting precipitated withdrawal from fentanyl than heroin if you wait the mandatory three days
