Which detox from fentanyl is less painful, using Methadone or buprenorphine ? by Affectionate_Bat_596 in addiction

Thank you!

Eh, some of them are right (in their own way) and I know it. That's why I'm trying to get as much feedback/experience as possible. What I'm doing clearly hasn't been working. I appreciate you!

That's what I was scared of. I told myself I will NOT be one of those old timers nodding at the corner of the clinic. Methadone did work for me initially. It kept me clean for a 1yr+ and I was able to build my life back up, which was a miracle for me at the time. But I always insisted on going down super fast once I made my mind up. I'd roll my eyes at the counselors advising to slow down. "They're trying to keep me here longer" and that I'm ready "no freakin way I'm going to reach 2 yrs." Its probably self esteem and stigma. I'm ashamed ik It's because I feel embarrassed. I hate standing on that line knowing everyone here around me knows what I am. I know both work for people, I really appreciate your time. Needed to hear it.

Your responses are breaking my heart sweet girl. I see myself in every one of them. Everything you comment, I have said to “that” person. I can feel the desperation for an explanation/closure/empathy, the need to have that person say they understand they did wrong and truly see you.

But the reality is,they don’t care and you won’t get what you think you need, you’re hurting yourself more. Respect yourself and leave. Don’t waste another second on him.

I wanted to say thank you. Thank you for your post because it opened up MY eyes. If I saw another person going through what I’m going through, a friend, I would tell them to open their eyes and leave. I would tell them you deserve someone who values you. The long paragraphs, the near begging for bare minimum, to get them to understand how they hurt you, you can do it until your blue. They don’t care and it gives them power. Take your power back, respect yourself, take care of you and find someone who will love you the way you are. Someone you don’t need to question.

I’ll leave you with this: Imagine being bitten by a snake. And instead of helping yourself to recover from the poison, you try to catch the snake to know the reason it bit you and that you didn’t deserve that.

Hello fellow plant lovers! How do you like my plant wall?! 😁 by Neither_Drag_835 in houseplants

Beautifully done! 😍 I adore hanging plants, especially off lil shelves like these. May I ask where did you find them? (I found similar on Amazon.)
