This is true story of how I accidentally stumbled across a treatment/method that helped me end the addiction...I started tootin the Green Monsters (OC 80s for those that wasn’t as fortunate as some) at age 15 and within 3 years graduated to slamming dogfood..10yrs later and various attempts and methods to help kick the needle and opiate addiction( yes the needle is an addiction) I said f**k it and gave up and accepted that this would be my life until I was locked up or 6ft under..one Friday night me and my girl(also opiate addict) was introduced to Meth and we partied like it was 1999 and finally crashed sometime Sunday. Monday woke up feeling great but around noon started feeling signs of W/D and realized our last dose of Opiates was Friday Morning!! Needless to say we were f*****g shocked that 3 days had passed without even thinking about dope and also getting our needle fix... so I Immediately started researching and found out that many people have used Meth to help end the addiction..basically you stay so focused on one thing and become extremely occupied doing whatever it is( AKA getting stuck), that the days just pass by very fast..(a great time to clean or take on lengthy projects or do work you've been putting off) The main key to this is go easy because the sh*t is powerful. ignorant users tend to lose track of time and once you have deprived your brain of rest for too many days you start to have extreme hallucinations which leads to most of the horrifying stories you hear about "Meth Heads" killing their whole family or whatever...make a schedule and to-do-list and stick to it!!! we broke it down into 3 day increments. we used periodically for about 36hrs then stopped (takes 8-12 hrs to fully comedown)no matter what you need to sleep on the 3rd day(if needed take melatonin and NYQUIL)...repeat until you no longer have any W/D from Opiates...(2 weeks for us).then only use when urges become unbearable..only W/D symptoms were mild cases of diarrhea and stomach cramps. been Sober for almost 18 weeks..the urges are still there but by knowing I can control them in a way that will not affect my accomplishments helps to block them out and keep my anxiety down ...now we only use Meth maybe twice a month... it is not addictive to us at all,
when i was still taking hydrocodone with the acetaminophen and if i run out waiting on a doctor to refill my prescription i would have bubble guts and body flu within 2 days.
at this point im thinking the doctor was giving me a placebo.
does anyone else experience this?
