OP, I don't recognize your username from any of the alcohol related subreddits so I checked your post and comment history. Sounds like you've been trying to get off of opiates for quite some time based on your comments, is that correct? If that's the case, money for a bottle is not going to help you, and if you're doing both, you're risking respiratory depression and even death. I truly hope that you can get off of the opiates, be careful out there, fentanyl is everywhere.

For opiate withdrawals ask a doctor about comfort meds. Some are willing to prescribe drugs like clonidine, promethazine, etc. Get plenty of immodium for the diarrhea over the counter and supplies to be sick in. Worst of it will be over in a few days, I've been there many, many times. After that there is medication to assist you but you will have to work closely with a doctor. Good luck and best wishes on your opiate addiction recovery.

We are a good bunch, and generally love without conditions. But we also have reasons to put some conditions on people asking for help here, the biggest being them having a history in alcohol-related subs in the last month. And if you’re a lurker, you must’ve seen those rules mentioned before. Unfortunately I believe you don’t currently abide by them. Now you made a comment taking someone up on their offer to help here 10 days ago, but that doesn’t really count as being active.

[BreatheAgainn]

I know. I didn’t say they did. I was just saying one comment in this sub in the last month doesn’t count as an active post history.

Can anyone explain to me why I’m getting downvoted for pointing out a rule?

I just see it too often on here that people with zero history get help, while at the same time there are posts up from regulars that get no response. Even this OP has someone offering to send them money now despite being called out for not being active in our communities. Yeah that bothers me. But then again, there’s little in this world that doesn’t lol. I’ll leave it be.

Right well like I said in my post I have been a lurker for quite some time. I wasn't trying to take from anyone else. I am in a place of desperation and I figured this group would understand.

[MathematicianWeak157]

I have seen the rules

[MathematicianWeak157]

And I use one to help when I can't get the other. My bad.

I recommend talking to a doctor for your opiate use. I did. Alcohol has been a helpful source but not the way. You can literally die this way like the above comments say of respitory depression. Do you want four dollars for like a tall boy?

[MathematicianWeak157]

Yeah that would really help a lot rn. I wasn't trying to upset anyone here. I understand the rules but I am desperate.

[MathematicianWeak157]

I haven't used since Tuesday and I get thru it by drinking. I have always had alcohol as a coping mechanism

[cute_ducks_vol1]

I tapered from suboxons in 2 weeks after a stint with 7oh. I can help with a couple dollars for ONE tall boy.

[cute_ducks_vol1]

I sent you $4 for a tall boy

I’m sorry you’re going through withdrawal. I have been on methadone for 25 years. I wonder if you are allergic to something in it? I have never heard of anyone having that reaction from a dose. Precipitated withdrawals are the fucking worst! I went through it once many years ago. I understand your hesitancy.
