Hello fellow Bluelighters in recovery Mode, i wish you all the best on your road to recovery,
wanted to let out some steam here and ask a question...
So i kept hearing when i went to Detox, that addiction is for life...i HATED everytime i heard that because i took it like, "Hey you're FUCKED forever" and
i always knew on the back of mind imma stop, but my family is so scared of losing me, they prefer i be hooked on Suboxone and its been over 4 years of
taking it...im only 28 btw... every now and then i fuck up and slip up, i moved back with my family because my ex girl, would not stop taking E, so i had to dump her..
she ended up stripping (i was SUPER IN LOVE with this girl even got her a wedding ring, had $400-500 in a lock box with it, one day i came home and she had ripped it open..yes the lck box by the side, took everything without permission cause she was spoiled but i owed that money, she paid her friends and herself brand new tattoos and took a fuckin roadtrip at my expense and "lost" the ring during a rave cause she was so out of it on rolls, next day had a trashbag waiting for her with all her clothes)
That destroyed me...i was heavily into benzo's and opiates... suddenly my 150mg oxy daily routine got f'ed up because of greedy m'f'rs with fent.... so many friends died, like 3 and like 2 more i did not know but hang out in the same scene as me died... i OD'ed 4 times.... The one i wanted to talk about was in my Parents house, since i moved back cause i quit my job and roommate also was also taking my rent money and shoving it all up his nose instead of giving it to the landlord).

Anyways i got f'ked because no more real OXY, started doing H, which if you seen my other thread heavily cut, so i couldnt find....decent opiates anymore started going down a really really dark path, hit the needle and all the sudden im blastin .3 pure disco COLA up tha veins, then using fent to come down cause my anxiety mad me think my dad was lookin though the window or listenin through the door (which he does after what imma bout to tell you) so i iv .3 of cola and a hole $6 dollar bag of dope without testin it cause i was F'ed up on BENZOS( theres where i messed up, which later i found out the 2 i took were fent, no benzos in my bloodwork) so i start feeling good all the sudden my body is jerking and im losing motor skills i try to make it to the door to remove the lock cause i knew i f'ed up... i removed the needle so fast and threw it to the closet but i bounced back on the floor next to me, i hear my parents calling me.....dad knocked down the door, im already passed out, like 4min in the floor *(i do not condone suicide) i felt like i was floating..... gone, sleeping all the sudden i hear my father crying and mother screaming ( they in there late 50's) i couldnt move, my dad had NALOXONE, THANK GOD I ASKED FOR IT WHEN I WENT TO DETOX CAUSE I WOULDNT BE WRITTING THIS. Then when i wake up im in a hospital bed with straps cause supposedly i was hitting myself HARD in the face (lol probably my subcosious punching me in the face for being an IDIOT)...
then i realize since i was transported to a hospital while unconscious where im from they take you to a REHAB by law, cause you are a danger to yourself, they have to interview you...i was only a Week there, but still MY CONCERN IS, i dont want to tilt, f' up, flip, make my parents go crazy, cause another f' up like that can really scar my mother even more emotionally, they wont let me out the house unless i take a SUB, i hate it cause its been 4 YEARS of taking it, im hooked...been swallowing the pill since it doesnt do anything if you down it or i spit it out, but they stay with me 10mins to make sure it dissolves...MAY I REMIND AGAIN IM 28 almost 30 years old... I FEEL LIKE THE MOVIE STEPBROTHERS....i know im lucky to have such loving parent and that they still care about me and have NOT giving up on my... i would after the 3rd time if it were my son, i wouldve sent him to Iboga treatment, which my parents nor i have enough money for it... ive had a lot of exp with psych, i really think this would cure me, i keep slippin up automatically.... i know nobody forces me to do it... it just i feel a chest pain and when i do a bump of H it goes away... my hunger comes back... i forget bout my father physically abusing my and my mother when we were kids (doc says its my trigger, i already learned to apologize for the past, but it happend again after SO MANY YEARS my father beat me up for just crying...

he said "cryin is for p*ssies*" ... i told em so you were a pussy when your mom DIED!? then he started choking me and i was afraid for my life and he slapped me twice hard, i smelt the alcohol in his breath so i stood down.... im always scared of him when he gets really drunk, he is an alcoholic but he got his sh*t straight a long time ago, but recently his brother passed away and he's been drowin in liquor and screamin random stuff and throwing stuff like my weights off the second floor in my house and making random animal noises (like he is possessed by a demon, like really sounds like that crazy scary for me i lock myself and my mother in room till next day and he acts like nothing.... already talked with my sister and mother, next time he does that we getting a court order so he has to go to a twelve step or a detox hospital to get his sh*t straight....


I ask fellow recovering friends.... am i ever gonna be able to just stop using... stop feeling anxiety everyday when i wake up....does this shit ever stop?
subs aint doing shiz, my dr wont switch me to methadone..i dont want it but tried it and felt amazing and didnt want more H, but i heard so many horror stories' i wont change another addiction for another... I'm currently taking 2mg ativan every morning since i wake up with a pressure like feeling in my chest, it had stopped for a few days a week back, but now i get anxious when i just hear my parents walking to my door....today i just came home HIGH ASF since i got PAID for all my hard work from a week straight of working and i blew em...... mom saw me walk it..she was like "why do you look like that" i said i was just high on weed and some beers, but she aint stupid, she asked me to sleep without my LOCK on the door which i always do....but my mother's afraid i might die in my sleep.. and dont get me wrong i slip up but dont continue doing it...it like a 1-2 day thing....but i get mega f*ed up and sometimes i get caught lackin since im so f'ed up... i really want to stop and make my parents happy and proud of me again, was thinking on buying an ounce next time i get paid.... staying home for a MONTH cause i know i wont go into any WD's thank god!
What would you do in my position....my father supplies me with ativan if i get really anxious and i got my cannabis license so i can smoke while getting subs from my DOC....


MUCH LOVE-The OG Chair....sit down and have some fun! :)
 
Life is for life. I mean we all have one life and do our best with it ALL.

You mind as well detox. Experience life in the healthiest way possible and that is a positive.

Always try to head in a better direction and always keep trying to do the best that we can.


I am sure there will be some replies. stay well and do as good as you can.


Welcome.

Keep your strength following a good path in doing what you have to do to stay strong and be healthy and keep doing well.

Thank you for your post !<3
 
Thank you for those words!
Been more Positive than ever now, really focused on my Business i have a Prosthetic Company and im helping people and that keeps me busy and its amazing to give people the chance to walk again! Founded the Company Last Year just got my building this YEAR! <3!

Tryin to be positive, cry and let it out whenever i feel like it an listening to affirmations everynight with binural beats to avoid thinking negative at night time! :)

gonna start doing shrooms and cannabis edibles for a while now... gonna cut a lot of things this year
 
sorry i missed your first post, i was travelling for work at the time.

you will be able to be free of drugs, and your anxiety will dissipate significantly, but it take a huge amount of work. you need to figure out what drugs are doing for you and how to meet that need in a healthier way. ime, you need a multi pronged approach- improving your physical health, getting honest in therapy, peer support from other addicts, doing things you enjoy, help from drugs services, and help from literally every other avenue.

i don't take being an addict for life meaning i'm fucked forever. it just means that i am aware that no matter how much time i put between me and my worst days of addiction, every time i pick up a drug i'm risking my life going back to that completely unmanageable state. i thought i'd got enough time in to start drinking again. i was wrong. as long as i don't use, i'm mostly fine.
 
Oh I have to say I will have to work on eating healthy as possible. It makes such a difference in life as a whole perspective.

Being able to feel healthy is priceless. You just can't, can not put a price on it. Too much of anything is an over do. So be careful of intake and input.

Too much salt and sugar are very harmful and will accelerate a decline in result of function.

My sugar intake and salt intake are at all time unhealthy levels. However it just helps with some relief of the whole tapering and withdrawing situation due to trying to balance my levels and intake of usage and substance.

Try more feel better then maintain and be able to sustain. Easy peasy lemony squeezey. !! 🍋🌞

That’s a detailed description of what you’re going through. Very moving story especially the ODing part and about all of the abuse happening in the past and background. I can only emphasize with you about the tough predicament of a life you’re currently living.

In my opinion, your past traumas involving your Dad and how your Dad is currently so intertwined in every aspect of your daily existence is not helping with your sobriety; it makes things harder. My question is, do you want to get clean for yourself? Or do you mostly want to do it to show others like your parents? If you’re getting clean for good, you gotta do it for yourself. Will your Dad allow you to taper down and off of subs when you’re ready? Or does he expect you to report to him and for you to take subs for life as you grow old living in his house until he dies? Is your Dad willing to let go and allow your wings to spread and then fly?

Ever consider going as a family to family counselling?
 
SORRY I HAVE NOT ANSWERED, since there ive been getting better with my father, self medicating on 2gs on shrooms 2 times a week, buy alp for emergencies, doing half a sub FINALLY heheh, it has affected me in ways unimaginable since i wrote this! now im feeling waaay wayy better, more connected with my fam, every now and then i spit out the sub and take tramadol and a xan to not deal with the small withdrawal ill get and ill be good for a day or two now! Also i am more focused on my Company and im the an exclusive Prosthetic (arms and legs ) Provider for a Region now! I also have a lil bit of financial freedom and doing things with much more balance, since i wrote this 2 friends died off the drugs ive was doing, them fake oxy of fent and fent, crack.... all thatss behind me for now... i indulge in good white when im drinking which im not also i get high.. smoking a lot of bud and do xans here and there, i know they are not good to mix with suboxone but i dont take high doses neither... !! THANKS FOR ALL THE REPLIES I HOPE I ANSWEERED ALL YOUR QUESTIONS
 
i Don't plan on getting clean clean for a while being 100 percent honest... but BALANCE i key I've found and i cant touch certain substances im prone to get myself into hell..

As long as you find your own version of sobriety and freedom from being a slave to any substance I’m happy for you. I always thought that the NA version of sobriety is too strict for many.

FINALLY! You couldn't have wrote it better, thats what i try to tell friends and some family members, but once you're an addict in their eyes, they will always think im looking for an excuse to get high..

Yeah, those categorical views are partly spread through the rhetoric spewed by adherents to the “war on drugs.” The contemporary evidence on the theory of addiction is neither black nor white. Unfortunately large parts of society have not fully accepted people with alternative views including the harm-reduction approach. We are a bunch of outsiders in a sense.
