That's awesome! Congrats!!!!
AnonDays like today make me feel like I'm missing out. Deff don't like feelings g like the odd one out I can have fun clean but at some point today I thought drinking would be a lot more fun.
Ace VenturaFuck that! I'm proud to be the odd one out. Then when they're drunken idiots and falling all over themselves, I say "look at me and look at you. That's how I stay sober, motherfucker." Maybe I've just been sober too long, but that has very much lost it's appeal to me over the years. I like the feeling of total control. I like the feeling of getting in my car and not having to be paranoid driving home. That if I do get pulled over, that cop just wasted both our time.
i still catch my self doing a checklist.
what it used to be...
anything in pockets, glovebox or trunk?
now
did i forget to pay my registration? what about my car insurance? ......nope thier payed ;)
AnonNormally I feel the same way just this year fucked with me
you took the word out of my mind. You have to make a meeting and remember the only thing that's out there is being broke, sick, and a scumbag to everyone you know. As much as a day like today can bother us its better then the life of hustling and stealing just to get two bags so we so we don't have to be sick.
AnonAin't that the truth. I went to the casino I fit in there lol
Suboxone clean bitches! Fuck me what a ride this has been. Been coming off subs for awhile now. Started on 16mg a day, down to. 25 mg a day. This in a matter of 6 months. Wasn't too bad until I got down to. 5 mg a day... then it got rough. But I pulled through this fucking thing. I wanna Thank everyone that I've talked to and help me get through the tough times....u know who u are. Feels good to have ppl stand by ya, even tho they're so far away. Thanks! I'll keep going to my N/A meetings and battle this thing head on.. I know I'm not cured, just off the meds for the 1st time in years. Feel good. Thanks again
Congrats bro that's a huge accomplishment. As I'm sure you knkw just never let your guard down. This fucking horrible diseases is always lurking quietly waiting.
Yeah brother I know.. it's an ongoing battle for me. I have GREAT support from friends, family & you guys. Thanks for all the encouraging words from everyone.
Congrats brotha. Glad to hear you did it right and glad your off that stuff. Is a blessing not to have to be dependent on opioids anymore.
Anonawesome dude. no just be a member of the "no matter what club" and youll be good bro. subs suck i wouldve rather kicked cold turkey
good shit
Yes it is my friend!
I'll hit my five year mark on July 8th. This will be the longest I have ever been sober since I started using drugs when I was fourteen I'm 34 at the moment. Thank you roid noid for creating this forum. It took 17 felony convictions, 6 cases, 3 months in county and 1yr in a treatment program for me to realize that enough was enough. I caught all 17 charges at the same time and they bunched them together in 6 cases. All meth related. Congrats to all of you who have taken back control of your lives!

nola, Im on 20mg suboxone after 3 yrs of tramadol and 2 other tries at suboxone regimines within 4 yrs.Im on this cycle since march. my doc says stay on as long as you need to because the worst thing is to backslide and go back to drug of choice. i am in trouble because i started at 16.mg in march, now in up to 20mg and my body wants 24. im sweating even now. is it from too much or too little? i cant even tell anymore. Im on a high niacin,b12/fish oil diet regime as per a chiropracters recommendation as stopping the tramadol or subbys i take causes immediate depression and anxiety. I also start my day with a raw veggie smoothie of only green vegetables. i alternate with fruit smoothies of blueberries and bannanas. Im on either precocet or suboxone for 4 yrs now. How do I get off this without making the cure worse than the disease? Anyone else with any ideas, feel free. Id like to pm you nola so i sent you a friend request. The mesed up thing is im 55 yrs old. didnt even start with opiates till 51. Is there anyone out there my age who knows what im going thru? tried aa and na. not for me. thank you.
thank you.
I'm not sure why your sweating and withdrawing. If you were stablized on 16 then there's no reason you should be needing more. It's when you first start them, maybe 8mg isn't enough so you go up until you find the dose that keeps you well. My brain is what always wants more but I don't need it to stay well. I stated at 8mg, then went to 12 then to 16 and 16 is good assuming I don't wake up way to early and taken my first one 5 hours before I normally so. I usually take first one at like noon theny second at 7ish but some days I wake up at 6 and take my first one at like 7 then 8 hours later I want another so I take it but then when 7 o'clock pm comes around I wanna take another one. It's not a physical thing it's all mental. And that's what I have to do is stop letting my brain tell me what to do. It's hard tho.
Glad to know I'm welcomed brother... http://heeeeeeeey.com/
Bumped into an old friend today, he's just spent 6 year in prison and gone straight back to heroin. He's almost 50, I don't think he'll stop now till he's six foot under tbh. His 2 brothers are the in the same boat, it's a real shame.
AnonJails institution and death. The unfortunate truth
If anyone needs advice on getting off suboxone or opiates, and how to effectively minimize/vanish w/d effects you can fr me and ask. I kicked both when I was younger, with the use of over the counter meds and herbs. (a lot easier then jumping ship)
.
Mate Im from Australia. I use otc medication with 15mg codeine /600mg paracetamol. I put all 40 tabs in ice water and in about 40 mins because paracetamol isn't water soliable I can then strain the contents for
600mg of codeine, In Aus we call it a cold water extraction. I do it every day and have been for about 2 years.
Apart from the runs which are easy fixed with gastro stop I just have the most negative thoughts all day. Minutes feel like weeks. I got to 8 days the other day and celebrated with 600mg...
TARANISHey bro don't mean to sound arsey but although this is an addiction thread,
you shouldn't really be telling anyone about the cold water extraction system, were trying to steer people away from drugs ,not teach them methods of using them.
peace out
T
No worries TARANIS.I appreciate the heads up. Honestly didn't think you had the same kinda pharma drugs that where an issue. Despite that you got Aus members so I wasnt thinking about anyone but my own addiction.
mistake I post
Thanks to all who talked about subs. I have been thinking the same thing since starting out. (which is only two weeks ago). This gives me faith and strength to carry on.
this is amazing...we are everywhere (recovering addicts). glad i found this forum. may 27th i'll have been clean for 14 years. good to know i have a group specific to my way of life.
Wow i cant even say how happy i am to find this thread. Still feel at times that im the only one but ol hp reminds me that im not.
AnonAin't that thrle truth welcome brotha
Thanks
I've been active in recovery for 7+ years now, both NA and AA. Very happy to see a thread like this here. After a long road getting my life together, I'm now in med school and actually planning to start my first cycle next week. If anyone, ANYONE, would like to talk about anything related to recovery or the dynamics of cycling while in recovery, I'd be more than happy to listen. It's something I've given a lot of thought toward and put a lot of time and research in to.
Hello all. Never knew this type of thread was here or would be here! Well, i've been on suboxone for about 9 months with few slip ups. Been injured the past 2 years+ and to be honest, was always way to fucked out of my mind to even think about hitting the gym, prior to that i lifted weight pretty seriously since 16 years old.
Now that my mind is feeling somewhat better and my body is ready to be back in the gym I was wondering is suboxone will have any negative effects for me in bodybuilding, like putting on mass, changing diets threw out the season, ect. ect. Or does it not have any effects at all.
reason i post this, is because i was cycle prepping with my bro and he said he has read that while on suboxone it is much harder to put on muscle mass (didn't provide me any proof, which led me to believe it was broscience)
sorry if this was not suppose to be posted in here and thanks to any reply's.

Mr.pumpI never had any issues with this . I always get great gains on my cycles. With ofcourse a well adjusted diet an weight regiment!! But , I'm only talking for my self . An it's bin business as usual for the two years I've bin on subs. Hope that help bro!
Pump I didn't know you were on subs to. I got a question for you I'm gonna shoot you a pm.
Mr.pumpYea, I've bin on them for about a year an a half . Had ha injury an went cooko. For coco puffs on em . An judged on subs . Bin GTG ever since. An sure brother u can ask me any ?'s u want.
Thanks for the answer, I appreciate any feedback, no matter what the feed back is! And hell yeah, thats good news, shit.... Even if that shit was true I wouldnt risk how good my life is going now, to how it was when I wasn't on subs. Thanks again brotha.
AnonDoes being on subs make it impossible to bust a nut just like being on dope does?
.
Mr.pumpI never had a problem with it. I'm pretty sure it takes me a little longer but I never not busted . Atleast for me . I'm on 16mg strips a day. I think a lot of it has to do with my test level being threw the roof !! Lol
for this first few months on subs i had this problem, after that it got back to semi-normal. granted it still makes me last much longer then having nothing at all in me.
The answer is Yes. I have found that directly after taking it I had a 8 hr window where I had to try extremely extremely hard to bust a nut. After 8hrs it still took longer but was possible.
Anoni started a thread a few days ago about me joining a suboxone clinic and it got locked. Im guessing probably because it should've gone here?
I specifically didn't put it here because this is recovery orientated, and I didn't know if it would belong here so I threw it under off topic.
Its not that I don't want a part of recovery, I do, but im not sure if being on subs would qualify as being clean. And that's also a reason I haven't went back to meetings either. I was heavily involved in them for years.
I just don't really kno where else to talk about this shit...
Its 100% anonamous here on ol eroids so I said fuck it and posted about it.
Then I read a few pages back on here and saw some talk from others who were on them as well.
Remember bro the only requirment for membership is a DESIRE to stop using... We dont get well and then get to the rooms, we get to the rooms and then get well. Most likely u knw where ur supposed to b so suit up and show up bro.
ray3801Fr sent.....been on subs for years.
AnonI kno but I just feel guilty going to meetings on it for some reason.
eroids is more anonymous to me than meetings. When I go to a meeting I kno damn near everyone there, which can be both a good and bad thing.
When i don't want to see anybody i know i drive to a meeting a few counties away
i dunno if this is plausible to you in your area but it works for me
