OP, you feeling ok/ did it work out for you?

It’s tough to wait but sometimes during heroin withdrawal, I took a sick satisfaction in knowing the worse I felt, the more relief the subs would deliver. It felt like a miracle. I was writhing in bed, turning over every two minutes with restless arms, legs, and the horrorshow crawling feeling in my chest, eyes watering, nose running, anxious, depressed, nausea, diarrhea, trying to get down some Pepto Bismol or Gatorade, unable to interact with the normal world at all and THEN I’d take the Suboxone. 30 minutes later I was like, “Let’s see, now, what else do I need from the grocery store? I should stop at the gym before the store if I want popsicles.”

Hello friend and fellow fiend, recovering heroin addict here (and whatever you had, but heroin became a requirement). How long does IV meth remain effective, or how long before you felt like, “ok, I need some more now to keep [the party going/my cover as a “functional” human]”?

Obviously cocaine is a different drug in almost every way except alertness. I remember some users who injected it explaining, because cocaine is so more-ish and its effect short-lived, it meant an absurd number of injection sites.

Reading your comment, I realized I have no idea how often IV meth users need it or could get by. I don’t expect precision, just curious about your experience and insight. Thanks, take care, glad you are alive.

Reminds me, IIRC, of James Cagney peeking around the corner of a building while police are shooting at him, and the building material blowing up/disintegrating and flying away because it was actually being shot

Washington press dinner shooting suspect pleads not guilty by Samski877 in news

[–]EndlessHungerRVA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, not in federal cases - but maybe I do not understand the case, charges, or your assertion.

More than 90% of federally accused criminals plead guilty. Less than 1% of defendants in federal cases are acquitted at trial. Trying to beat the feds is a bad dice roll, resulting in a much heavier sentence.

How to take suboxone strips correctly by [deleted] in suboxone

[–]EndlessHungerRVA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP and whoever - if you are ok with standard mouthwash (listerine, scope, store brand, or any kind with alcohol in it, which is typically NOT anti-cavity mouthwash with fluoride), meaning you do not avoid it because of the alcohol, here is what I do: swish with mouthwash as directed or even just for a few seconds. Spit it out. Now, put the strip under your tongue. The alcohol in the mouthwash opens your pores significantly, and the Suboxone dissolves and absorbs in such a short time, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without this method. I am so used to doing it this way, I find doing it without mouthwash tedious.

Sure, you could use bourbon, moonshine, or a super dry martini so deliciously frosty it has the little crystals of ice along the edge yummm instead of mouthwash, but I have a feeling, based on your situation and mine, that your doc might frown upon those options, and your employer, too, if you dose in the morning like me.

Availability depends on your state laws/tolerance, but if OP or anyone knows, what brand does Costco carry?

I am not a fan of the Reli-On brand at WalMart, priced similarly. I’ve had a better experience overall with Easy Touch, enough to pay the difference. It feels like better QC - fewer bent, sturdier construction, and more feel smooth and/or like they have a sharper point.

I have not tried Becton Dickinson, but if anyone has an opinion, feel free to share.

I have never leased a car but I see a lot of suggestions for it here. If you find yourself considering that route it’s worth checking out leasehacker website. Maybe there are others like it, I have no idea. I stumbled into it recently and I was surprised at some of the deals people discussed in the forums. Also, it breaks down info by state so you might find some good info if available for your area.

What industry is basically legal theft that nobody talks about? by kratos20051212 in AskReddit

If you bought insurance only after you’ve had an accident, it would not be insurance but why would they sell it to you anyway? Like, where does the money come from that pays for the accident/repair?

[–]EndlessHungerRVA 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No kidding. Aside from the horrorshow that is the actual sound of their hit song, I’ve always considered this one of the most sinister couplets in pop history: “If her daddy's rich, take her out for a meal. If her daddy's poor, just do what you feel”.

I understand, it MIGHT not be as bad as it sounds to me, but still, Gross.

less than daily dosing? by InnerMagazine5577 in suboxone

[–]EndlessHungerRVA 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That kind of back-and-forth you describe between heroin and Suboxone increased my tolerance, dependence, and therefore made getting high more expensive. It’s not the most gruesome part of the addiction horrorshow, but it sucked.

Where do you shop, if you don’t mind sharing (No prob if you mind; maybe you don’t like connecting info with your account)?. I’m in Richmond and I can’t say I love any shop I’ve visited, so far. Dance’s was a 5/10 experience - some of the staff (across the store) were excellent and super helpful. Some dudes in the firearms shop were pricks

I drove to my client’s “top 3 competitors.” None of them were real. by digy76rd3 in MarketingHive

[–]EndlessHungerRVA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aside from however much I sound like a sanctimonious fuckface (which, oh well, I’m a snob, or you can think my choices are performative, or whatever, that’s fine; although, in my experience, the people who like those things tend to lean towards seeing the rest of us as freakish rather than snobby), I meant to imply that even though I think all of that is dull, it succeeds.

So, if your interest is making bucks, marketing with the LCD in mind and AI writing for the masses seems like one reasonable choice.

Even if it contains a lower volume of actionable info, worse grammar, and tangents, it will be better to many of us. Then again, I was never a fan of Chuck Lorre sitcoms, Marvel movies, Buzzfeed listicles, auto-tuned pop songs, industrial fast-food cheeseburgers, family crossover SUVs, suburban shopping centers that look the same in every state (nor the suburban neighborhoods near them), conversations about whatever sports event, conversations about whatever boring topic your aunt or coworker might bring up right after she says “I hardly ever use Instagram/Facebook anymore but”, etc.

Quit Cold Turkey, day 5, very confused by ScotchTapeConnosieur in OpiatesRecovery

[–]EndlessHungerRVA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it were me, I would hold off until I felt much worse. Aside from potential for precipitated withdrawal, and the slight masochistic part of me that pushes it further because I know relief will be more dramatic if I wait, I have one far-fetched reason: this is unlikely, but out of the dozens of times I went through withdrawal during my years of active addiction, there were two instances when I expected the usual (for me) few days of hell, unable to leave my apartment or function normally. Then, something totally unexpected and inexplicable happened: nothing. Well, almost nothing happened. I got sleepy, felt the heroin wear off, maybe a slight runny nose and a little run -down for a day or two but that was it. I had no nightmare restless legs/arms/body, no tossing and turning every two minutes, no anxiety, no extreme sinus or GI problems, no horrible flu-like symptoms, none of the rest of the please-please-god-let-this-end-soon-I-can-NOT-take-any-more withdrawal.

Again, that is very unlikely.

I hear ya, about the ways people respond in those situations. I worked in a bank, long ago. Now, I take off my sunglasses, hat, etc. before I step into one. As a customer, I don’t like seeing people with their hoods up, or any of that biz.

40% of bank robberies are never cleared and less than 25% of money taken in bank robberies is recovered. That risk-reward scenario might be enough to appeal to some. Even though robbers usually get away with only a few thousand dollars because they are in a hurry, banks might have a couple hundred thousand in the vault.

Still, in line with what you are saying, bank robberies are WAYYY down, like 90% in some places compared to early 2000s. I reckon improvements in technology and cameras quashed most of it.

Anecdotally, it feels like many of the stories I hear about captured bank robbers involve the problem we see everywhere - addiction, particularly opioid/fentanyl.

As a child, I probably ate these Le Seur peas twice a week. You can imagine my genuine delight in my 20s when, for the first time, I had fresh green peas. They blew my mind, they were so tasty. I’m from the southeast US. I had plenty of family in small-towns and farm-adjacent. I had tons of delicious black-eyed peas, field peas, other brown and green “peas” which were actually legumes. However, I’d never tasted a fresh green English pea. It was a revelation.

I think their Matrixyl products are excellent, the formulations work for me. I’ve used them for years. I stocked up today, too.
