I know a person that abused drugs for a few years (opiates), than saw something that scared them and quit without rehab or any kind of detox or whatever. They were sick as fuck for a day, but than, over it completely.
It's been a few years and this person hasn't touched any drugs.
How can that work? I was just watching something on TV that made me curious about it?
I thought you generally had to come off slowly, maybe get some counseling, etc...
???

Just come off slowly, its easier on your system.

Depends on what they were on, how long, focus and will power. But generally yes, you should get counseling to address the underlying problem and taper if you were on a high dosages of whatever you're abusing.
-
Depends on the drug used, doses and the period of time they took them. Opiates you can get really sick from withdrawals but unless you have some underlying health condition it won't kill you....alcohol and benzos you have to be careful with.

He's probably not being honest about only feeling effects for a day. In the end it ends up being a mind over matter to be able to stop cold turkey.
-
I quit the booze cold turkey style, the first 7 days I wanted to kill something just to watch it die. After that it wasn`t as bad.

I've done it, after being a serious IV heroin/methadone abuser for years. It's much longer than a day depending on how long he used. I was terribly sick for weeks and not right for almost a year after I stopped. I also quit a serious meth habit prior to that... Which was a walk in the park compared to quitting opiates.

I guess it was a lot of Vicodin and the like. They abused it heavily for at least four years. I heard from someone that quitting Opiates cold turkey can kill you, so I guess I just kind of wondered how they accomplished quitting cold turkey.

Ohh, I see...
Do people commonly do this? After watching so many rehab shows, and hearing so many horror stories it just seems pretty bizarre that someone could do that.

I heard from someone that quitting Opiates cold turkey can kill you,
Quitting opiates cold turkey cannot kill you. I quit cold turkey and I'm just fine, and I was using an 8ball a day (on the low side, if I had money I was using almost a quarter a day). The only drugs that can kill you from the W/D's are alcohol and benzos.

Damn, congratulations!
Did anyone see that show with Laura Line about all the "Pill Mills" in Florida? I guess people from the Midwest go down there and get all kinds of pills from doctors that will give you a prescription for anything?
I think it's insane how everyone is so hung up on Marijuana while people are legally abusing drugs like Oxycontin (with a doctors consent) that actually are dangerous.
-
props to you shockwave and anyone battling addiction. Its a bitch. ive experienced it and seen it a million times.
it can be done. never ever stop trying to quit. there are alot of ifferent methods these days: medications, therapies, etc.
PM a brotha if you need/want to talk :)

Again, it boggles my mind the damage Doctors can legally do with Prescription Pain Killers and all the other chemicals they give out. All the while Marijuana scares the hell out of people.

Truly a miracle. I have no respect for drug addicts but all the respect in the world for a drug addict that quit, not an easy feat by any means.

Those pill mills in Florida you're talking about are and experiment by the Hierarchy. I've even heard rumors that some higher ups from Harvard medical are the ones behind the experiment.

Whats the experiment? That people will go and pay money to get handed pharmaceutical grade opiates and benzos? Lol, I think they could have figured that one out on their own.

Year and a half now, having a wife and son helped a lot. Before, I didn't really have a reason NOT to use, besides the fact that I was always broke.

Lifestyle and experimentation.
Was playing in a metal band and gigging a lot, tried coke and started partying hard. Coke turned into meth, meth turned into IV meth and heroin, Eventually the music took a back seat and it was just the drugs and partying. Then the partying went away and it was just me and the drugs.

Man, I dont know you, but really happy that your alive buddy, my neighbour died from going cold turkey off xanax.

Well thank you. It was a rough road for sure. And Xanax is no joke, Benzo's kill people pretty regularly from W/D's, but doc's still prescribe them like candy but are scared shitless to give someone Vicoden for pain.
I've come to the conclusion that most docs have no fucking idea about what they're prescribing.

Its not the way to die, especially when he tried to get away from it. From what his sister told us he was taking 10mg a day for 9 months, he either ran out or tried to quit but his body needed it. I hope all suffering from addiction here get proper help and dont die on us. Be smart getbiggers.

i had a friend that came off cocaine cold turkey, and stop smoking using Chantix. If you google Chantix, it is scary as fuck. He says they didnt list the scary shit when he took it tho. He never used either drug again.
And on the other hand, I have another friend that cant stop and is actually in rehab right now. Hope it works for him. So i guess it really depends on the person.

It does, and different people will get addicted to different substances. While coke may be highly addictive to one, another may get nothing from coke and may be easily addicted to weed (yes, weed addiction exists in certain people).

His posts all make sense now, you can take the drugs away from the junkie, but, you can't stop the junkie being a piece of shit! The worst ones are the ones who go to 12 step programs, they just whiteknuckle it, smoke heaps of cigarettes, tell everyone their doing steps and preach to others about how wonderful they are now.

Not trolling dude, in my time I have had the misfortune of knowing addicts and SO CALLED recovering addicts, their mostly all the same Pieces of SHIT on or off the drugs. Addiction is a disease of RELAPSE, you know and I know that at some point you will just relapse and pick up from where you left off, a miserable drug addict, ripping off everyone for your next fix. Hope this helps.

Meh, you can make all the leaps of logic about my character that you want, doesn't make the slightest bit of difference to me. And yes, you are correct, 90% of junkies are pieces of shit and taking the drugs away doesn't change that.

Had you smoked weed many times before you tripped out or was this one of your first times?

I don't do the 12 step system, doesn't work for me, all AA/NA did for me was to make me want to use more. I had to find something that mattered enough in my life to stop using, that was my wife and son.

Had a square friend recently eat some weed and she tripped the fuck out. She called me Bc she know my history. I stayed with her for about 5 hours and she was tripping hard. She ate waaaaay too much for being a lightweight. Sucked

Opiate withdraw is a living hell! Been through it several times. A couple times when I was in college. Not sure how I made it through. I remember having severe panic attacks for weeks. I mean severe. Crying fits. Heavy depression. It was the most brutal thing I've ever been through.

I was told the same thing by someone dear to me. All the NA meetings did was make him want to use. Anyway he passed away from it and I know how hard it is to kick so I respect anyone who gets off opiates for good. And I don't see junkies as scum..they are human beings like all of us who happened to make a wrong choice and got addicted.

I got addicted to morphine when I as very very ill and had to stay in the hospital for over six months. They were not even sure that I would survive. Out of hospital i was prescirbed morphine and oxy for years. Someqhere a,ong the line it became an addiction and I would start to shot up the drugs when they lowered the dosages to get more effect. When i stopped getting it from my doc i would buy it instead. Acter awhile I was sick of it and was lucky to get into subutex treatment. I could never stop it myself, it was to harsh. I`ve stopped subutex for awhile to see how it worked out for me, then i tappered it out slpwly. After six months clean I had a relapse to morphine so i went back to the program again.

Props to all you junkies who "clean"ed up their act - it takes a lot of willpower that few people are able to muster up.
I had a run in with weed that seems similar to what Falcon describes - quite frightening.
A friend of mine who has been a druggy for most of his life, turned 39 some time ago, had a likewise experience with weed... he said "After all the LSD and other shit I've taken it was smoking too much [of it] that nearly made me run to my parents because I was in such an extreme state of paranoia and fear."

A lot of drug addicts here. Keep em coming. I like this. You made the decision to get hooked on the drugs so it is your fault if you die from them. I have no sympathy for this kind of behavior. Natural selection at its best. In case you didn't know we all have addictive personalities. We choose what we get addicted to. If you overcame it great. You have to be mentally frakked to begin with to take something you know is addicting. A new idiot is born everyday.

im glad youve made it eventhough youre albanian ;D
no seriously, in prison i met some albanians who pushed heroin and became addicts themselves, locked up with h addicts who did crime to get money for their fix.
i felt sorry for both, thought its a waste of life engaging in these drugs.
neither of them could go off, sad to see.
Ha ha thanks bro. I really never got a chance to hang out with any other Albanians. I don't even really know how they are. My dads side of the family is real ethnic though. Really good decent people. They can live off the land easy. All the women have skills you would never see an American even try to do. They can slaughter any kind of animal, grow awesome gardens, fix shit, make their own liquor. My aunt makes white lightning :) Every Easter we have lamb. My aunts kills it guts it herself and roasts it. Pretty awesome.
