JohnnyBlackIve been clean since 4/20/10 technically my last shot of black was on 4/19. Since than only drank on the rare occasion (champagne with the ex on her birthday). Been a opiate addict since 14, heroin addict since 16. First rehab at 13 for ecstasy and boost since my parents were worried. Dropped out of high school my LAST semester of senior year because my drug use got so bad. Been to a total of 5 rehabs and 2 detox facilities. The last time was the charm, i truly lost everyone and everything dear to me before getting clean. It was the most monumental decision I've ever made in my life. since than I've gained my friends, parents, and Ex's trust back, i obtained a good paying job, got my GED, and went to college. I couldn't be any happier with all the changes I've made in my life. Ive gone through ALOT of stages since 4/20/10 but held strong through all of it and here i am.
Ive been told YOUNG heroin addicts have less than a 1% chance of staying sober the rest of there life, I beat the odds everyday i wake up sober, i believe if i can beat that odd, i can achieve ANYTHING
keep it up!
I take that same attitude with me everyday brother! ive been through some shit in recovery and stayed clean.
I have been clean since may 20, 2011 My bottom was on that date i got in a bunch of shit and was arrest i spend three and a half months in jail they sentenced me to 1-2 years up state but then decided to give me a suspended state sentence and released me on a last chance program called drug court. At first it was the hardest thing i had ever done but now i realize it has changed my life for the better i would have never gotton to where i am now as a junkie and my entire outlook on life has changed for the better. So i have been on this program for a year and there talking about letting me off early sometime next month I am really happy about being completely free again.
Good job Bro. Every time you feel like using just think about the hell you went threw to kick dope. Works for me.

Hey Guys, From Australia and relapsed into a opiate addiction. Got busted by the cops and have a court appearance in 6 weeks. I got told last time by the judge I will be doing time if I front again. Im not a big guy, mid 30's and not a fighter. I am after advice on surviving inside from those that have done a bid.
The way I see it Ive got 6 weeks to learn some fighting skills, any thoughts guys?
I know you dont have much time, but the Gracie family proved that if theres only one way to learn to fight its Brazilian Jiujitsu. I was a major heroin addict until I dried out in prison and didnt start training until after I got out. Its like my therapy. But my point is most of the inmates dont know how to fight either so its pretty much on how you carry yourself but if you do get into a fight a grappling background would be ideal also because you can choke someone out and not leaveany marks for the guards
im from ny bro did some time on rikers island and some upstate prisons sing sing etc,, that being said if you mind youre business dont gamble or use drugs you really wont have a problem,, and dont worry about or be scared about that sex shit either we had plenty of guys or shemales that gave it up so really dont let people scare you about it.. but someone will test you to see if youre a punk
Cheers Mate, Thats encouraging to hear. I spoke to someone that has done time in both countries and he describes Aussie prisons as a country club compared to what you guys in the states endure. Im back off the drugs and training hard. Just getting my head right for sitting down for most likely a year.
Idk how it is down under but if anyone was to break the rules they would get broken off by ppl in their own racial group. Mexicans is 13 seconds, woods is 23 I believe, paisa's idk, brothers n others idk either.
I've done a bit of time in jail in here in California. I'm guessing the jails r worse here but idk. Anyways, there's a lot of politics here in California jails n prisons. You gotta stick with your race. It's funny because I'm Mexican but I look white as fuck, the woods (white people) thought I train hopped to the southsiders(Mexicans). Almost started a little fuckin war in my housing unit. Idk how but these fuckers found information on my parents birth certificates and it was squashed right there. But if your doin jail time just follow the rules and you'll be fine. Most people just want to do their time a get the fuck on. But if your facing prison time, that's a whole different story bro.
what are australian prisons like?
From the little information Ive gathered we dont have the big racial groups all seperate. Its ok to mix. Apart from that Ive been told if someone attempts to stand over me for anything (be it sneakers to sex)to be prepared to fight for my life. Also been told to mind my own business, accept no favours and dont talk about what Im inside for unless asked. Any other rules you blokes can think of?
give up the least amount of information you can, stay quite, exercise daily in your own section until you make friends, dont sleep during moving hours, if there is cells then wait till they are locked. get up before the cell door opens and keep your shoes on all day, when you sleep leave your feet out side of the blankets and sheets, you can cover the rest of you but if your feet are covered your fucked when trying to get out of bed. If someone tests you take flight first, win or lose let them know you are down for whatever. they will respect a guy that cant fight but is down to way more then a guy that can fight but is scared to. pay fucking attention to who talks to who and what is going on around you at all times. dont drop the soap dont bend over at the waist in the shower, where a pair of shoes if you get any extra to the shower, thats the worst place to get caught by someone wearing shoes. dont be in a hurry to trust people or make friends just watch, dont play sports, and dont buy shit from the store or they will have a reason to try and take something from you! DONT clown around, sex play or any other shit that some guys think is funny until you been there for awhile, just tell them I aint into all that and if they start to say something again blast em. Dont matter if they aint racist stay with your kind at first, people have opinions of other races so be sure before you do anything. Dont accept other peoples food, dont do drugs, dont play grab ass with queers even if they look like a playboy model! im not kidding some will have tits and all, but that is ten guys old lady and theyll kick your ass for looking! if they give you an opportunity to have a cell or a POD take the cell its much more secure. dont stay up late making noise or yelling even if everyone else is, dont drink pruno and quit smoking if you do!
Your a true gentleman. This information may have taken me months to learn, if at all inside. Thankyou very much man.
another thing is dont talk to cops unless you have to, and really dont talk to cops by yourself, people will think your a snitch.
enjoy this long weekend brothers....work hard,play hard..lift hard!!! we be clean and mean boys and girls!!!!!
just got 3 aug 6th yea boy
sweet g4u
sweet... keep doin what ur doin
Opiates were my drug of choice, from Vicodin all the way to heroin. My last run was about a year and a half long. Sucks cuz being a dope fiend is a full time job, trying to hide my addiction from everyone and doing shady shit to support my habit. Kicking dope is like being in the ninth circle of hell. Fucking horrendous. I used to get pissed of when people would tell me "why can't you just stop". They don't understand how crazy the kick is. Anyways I've been clean for about a year now. I'm now addicted to the gym.
It's a trip that all my veins came back after I stopped using. I thought I would never be able to look super crazy vascular. They be bustin out mad now!
over coming the mental addiction of drugs or alcohol is just as bad if not worse in some cases as overcoming the physical part of the addiction, and normal people will never be able to understand that. It's a good thing we have each other. keep up the good work bro.
I dont think I will ever overcome the mental addiction, wish I could say I dont want to use again but truth is if I could use with no repercussions id do it. Hell I have mental kicks for everything, I cut out mayo and cheese and butter and breads, and ill be damned if I dont have using dreams about eating that shit! I stop drinking Monsters for a few days and ill have a dream about it! I will have great discipline, go a week or so but got to have a cheat day, and when I do DAMN that bad for you shit tastes GOOD!
I hear ya bro I have all kinds of triggers but like you I can't take the repercussions of using so I stay away and consintrait on things that will keep my thoughts in the right place and oh hell yae love ice cream thank god for cheat days
Thanks man. I'd like to note that my test levels were super low while I was on dope. Like 250 and I'm 24. Took 3 months to feel somewhat normal again. I heard of detox and rehabs actually getting people on test while they are kicking. It's supposed to help a lot. Wish I knew about that.
Yea I was gonna get on suboxone so I can get off heroin but I saw too many of my friends hooked on the suboxone just like everyone gets hooked on methadone. I cut down my dosage from a gram d day to .25 over a month and a half period then kicked. It was bad but better than kicking a gram a day habit. How does it feel to be on subs and test?
Yep.opiates lower your test.I am on suboxone and it does the same thing as full opiates.
I have a scrpit for the subs and a script for test.
same bro i am on methadone and they give me test as well cant wait toget off but scared to be honest
yea bro I heard kicking methadone is horrendous. Id rather get back on dope or suboxone then try to kick. The test is supposed to help a lot with the withdrawal though.
Suboxone is a bitch as well.instead of a few day withdrawal from vics or oxys it can last a month.I'm stuck for life. :(
yea I kicked H and oxys and it was about 7 days long. even after the 7 days I was only gettin like 3 hours of sleep for another week. i heard the kick from subs is long but not as intense as H. Kickin H is pure fuckin hell, 1 minute goes by and it feels like an hour. and it gets worse untill the 4th or 5th day.
those first few months can be very hard physically not only from withdrawal but from the bodies attempt to restore balance. recovery is difficult on many levels but the quality of life is so much better when your clean. Keep up the good work
Thanks brotha
I relapsed recently but back at it
ODAAT
glad you made it back.
What's goin on guys! I'm new to this forum, but I've been in recovery since October 12th 2010. Heroin was my drug of choice and I ruined my life because of it. I'm 22 months clean and damn proud of it because almost everyone else in my age group in my town including my old friends (they were my friends before we started using so not just drug buddies) will not clean their acts up. Currently I'm still piecing my life back together and working towards completing my BA in clinical psychology then want to go to SDSU for grad school. I'm also working on my CADC (alcohol and drug counselor) and have an H&I commitment through my homegroup in NA. I'm glad to see that there's a recovery thread on this forum, and @monstahh - congrats bro I know how hard it can be!
Anon3 years clean tomorrow
congrats bro
happy birthday bro they say at 5years you get your marbles back and at 10 you figure out what to do with them. best wishes
