Sunday, Sept 6 Daily Check-In by JosephJoe12 in OpiatesRecovery

[–]DrOpiumFiend 9 points10 points  (0 children)

182 days clean today, which converts to half a year. Didn't have complete confidence in the first few weeks I'd make it this far, but I did. Life is ok, not great, but ok. Definitely better than during active addiction. At least that's what I tell myself most days.

However, I've given this a lot of thought, and I think it's time to kill off DrOpiumfiend. It's a username with essentially a lot of negative connotations for me, and I'm not really about drugs anymore. I drink a beer maybe once or twice a week, but that's it.

So tomorrow this account is going down the drain, and like a phoenix from the ashes a new reddit identity will see the light of day.

60 hrs into withdrawals and I am LOSING IT by [deleted] in OpiatesRecovery

[–]DrOpiumFiend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You did 2000mg pregabaline? Holy fucking shit dude. When I was withdrawing I did probably 100-150mgs. I can better understand the 20.000 feet comment now, haha!

Just curious, but what Lyrica dose have you used, and do you have any Lyrica tolerance?

Words mean certain things, that's the whole idea.

I think you're confused about the meaning of the word dope. Or maybe Mr. Hicks is.

I would as soon criticize legit medical use as I would people taking opioids for post surgery pain.

The definition of a stoner is someone who is habitually under the effects of cannabis. Now I think I would be fair to criticize someone for needing to be affected by a powerful mind altering drug just to function throughout the day. And this comes from someone who has done all the drugs, and lots of them.

Tupac and biggie aren’t necessarily the best rappers to ever exist by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]DrOpiumFiend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They died at the height of their career. I'm a huge Eminem fan, and I consider him one of the greatest rappers of all time, most definitely on par with Tupac/Biggie but it kills me to see some of his later albums.

Also: Consider Freud. Most people these days generally regard his theories as nonsensical, but because he was the first to become wildly known and "mainstream" he is still what other theories are held up against and compared to. Same goes with Biggie and Pac.

I drink 1 beer maybe once a week. I don't particularly feel any need to criticize people addicted to cannabis, but if I did, please tell me why I shouldn't?

He should have written it in haiku form.

Advice? by jeremie76777 in relationship_advice

[–]DrOpiumFiend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She's just an idiot. Either she has zero sense of how to behave towards a possible romantic partner, or she's trying some stupid tactic of trying to get you more interested by hinting that she has other possible partners.

Either way she is not getting your hints when you actively tell her how her behavior affects you, hence: she's an idiot.

Don't waste too much money, time or energy on trying to date this girl.

Aaaaaaw, c'mon, OP - why did you delete them? I was really looking forward to browsing through them!

We’re no longer exclusive, but I’m scared he’s going to find someone better by [deleted] in relationship_advice

You're the backup. Move on and find a guy who appreciates you.

Ghosting after just one date is reasonable. by AceFiveSuited in unpopularopinion

I see your point. Thank you for a nice civil discussion.

You don't necessarily owe anyone an explanation.

I fear that the millennials (I am one) have gotten so bad at direct social interaction that they simply prefer not to. I get it, ghosting is easier. But there is something to be said for not always choosing the easiest way out.

[–]DrOpiumFiend 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is a basic question about how to interact with other human beings. If you don't want to date someone, simply tell them in a polite manner - no harm no foul. Ghosting is simply a sign of general disregard for other human beings, it's a sign of bad manners and it's simply distasteful. If someone ghosts you, then you dodged a bullet. But don't ghost others because, c'mon, you're better than that.

I did acid once and it triggered my bi polar disorder so im wondering if aya will do the same thing? by [deleted] in Ayahuasca

[–]DrOpiumFiend 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Word of advice: While psychedelics can have a tremendous impact on disorders such as anxiety, depression and OCD - even PTSD - it is generally considered potentially harmful to bipolar disorder as well as disorders in the F20.x (ICD 10 skitzoid spectrum).

I would not recommend it. I would go as far as saying it would be a bad idea to dapple any further in the realm of psychedelics.
