Stopping drugs cold turkey

[bigmikecox]

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...

They are the exception not the rule. I used to party a lot and got scared shitless once and then i made the decision to stop. Wasnt worth it

heroin = opiate

vicodin = opioid

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."

Supposedly, many vietnam soldiers were opiate addicts and went "cold turkey" when they got home.

I used to be addicted to your e-vagina

I fight it every day.

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.

Doctors are negligent as far as this goes.  Everyone abuses prescription medication.

I hope everything goes good for you sir, good luck!

I quit booze every MON morning. Then on FRI I use again, and then on SAT.
SUN is a light use day watching football (few beers). Come MON, I'm clean again until FRI.
Vicious circle...

Depends how much you drink - I understand the principle but if you can get by with a minimum it's just another risk factor of life.

He did not use protection. I repeat, did not use protection of any kind. He also did not waste his seed.

X2 I will throw fists

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.

I read something about that. I believe a lot them just traded one addiction with another.

Yes this is pretty common..."They" label it an alcohol problem. But you don't crave the alcohol like an alcoholic.

im glad youve made it eventhough youre albanian


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.
