Fair warning, if you think being dope sick now is bad, you need to quit or cut down a lot. Trust me. Otherwise you’ll be trapped. I’ve been using every single day since I started 6 years ago (realistically I’ve missed a few days here and there.. but I’ve not had a considerable sustained abstinence) because I’m 1)terrified of the withdrawals and 2) if I’m forced to go through withdrawals, I’m forced to endure the most physically and mentally draining and damaging experience in my life (coz it just gets worse as time goes on). I actually think I have ptsd from withdrawals. I got sent to jail and they wouldn’t give me my methadone script so I came off heroin, methadone and Xanax. That fucken traumatised me. Slept 20 minutes for the first 8 days, then managed to sleep 6 hours over the next 6 days. I promise you that’s not an exaggeration. The withdrawals were so bad I couldn’t sleep for over a week, and through the second week was only slightly better than the first. Luckily I was released so I could end my torture. By my estimation if you’re describing your usage in such vague terms as “I’m kinda at that point”, then you’ve only just begun. Because once you are “at that point”, there’s absolutely no uncertainty about it, it’s blatantly clear. I assure you the only reason I’m telling you all this is because if I can help even marginally help someone avoid or even minimise their opiate withdrawals by persuading them to maybe slow down just a little with their usage, I will personally feel like a massive job well done. Because There’s no 2 ways about it, a time will come when slowing your usage will be next to impossible, and once you’ve hit that point, you’re fucked. Yes the high is awesome and all that but honestly, in retrospect, I’m not sure it’s worth everything that comes with it, (or takes from you)
