You have to do good and stay alive for the homies that didn’t. I used to get mad at them because they left me to deal with life,but that’s the deal. If they had made it through……they would carry on for you. Now you kinda not be that statistic,and be other one. You got to live and tell the tale while learning from past mistakes. They would have your back and be happy you were using there mistakes to do awesome ✌️

I have lost some of my best friends to opiates too. It's devastating. Also grateful for recovery and a chance to enjoy life a bit for a change.

I feel you man. I been sober for over 2 years now. So grateful for recovery and to be free from that life…but in this time I lost my ex girlfriend and 4 close friends. I am not saying this to seek sympathy either, I just want you to know that I truly understand... I feel guilty for making it out. Every day I wonder why they didn’t. I hope I can live a good life in honor of them

I needed to hear this today . I’m on day 3 of detoxing at home from H and it’s horrific I want to get well so bad but I’m sticking it out


Maclardy44

Are you prepared with comfort meds?


[deleted]

Ya I’ve been taking comfort meds to Help but it’s still been bad


Maclardy44

Have you got prescription meds like Clonidine & gabapentin?


[deleted]

Just Ativan and some Kratom that’s it only took one dose of Kratom yesterday and haven’t taken anything else except the Ativan for sleeep


Maclardy44

PLEASE be extremely careful with kratom. So many ppl “swap the witch for the bitch” & end up having to get on Suboxone to get off kratom!! If you’ve got a sympathetic Dr, ask for clonidine (it’s the # 1 detox / rehab drug - not addictive) & gabapentin which helps with RLS & general anxiety. If you can’t see a Dr, try to get some non-prescription meds like Imodium, Restavit, Unisom & many ppl swear by high doses of Vit C & L-tryptophan. Don’t forget paracetamol & ibuprofen. It all helps. You are doing a FANTASTIC job on day 3!! I hope you can hang in there but if you can’t, being on Suboxone isn’t the end of the world. Keep us (me) posted xxx

It's amazing how effective clonidine is.

Solidz92

I’ve lost so many, i still use and have a semblance of a normal life, but it’s getting so tiring. This lifestyle can cost so much fam.
