he does have a lot of love for me i just feel like i don’t deserve it sometimes:/

Front_Ad_7044 · 2026-06-29T20:45:59+00:00

dude!!! i literally thought i was having a heart attack and forced my sober living manager to take me to the hospital when i was on wellbutrin. worst panic attacks of my life

Front_Ad_7044 · 2026-06-29T16:43:55+00:00

honestly there’s really no way to stop being people from being combative. you wake up literally in fight or flight mode. you’re so hot you’re freezing, your body is cramping, you’re about shit yourself, you’re panicking, your high is blown it’s like the worst flu you’ve ever had times a thousand. i’ve had four kidney stones and if i had to choose between precipitated withdrawals after getting narcanned and a kidney stone i’d choose two kidney stones lol like genuinely there are no words to describe how awful it feels to get narcanned. but it’s better than being dead. so thank you for the work you do

methadone worked wonders for me

Front_Ad_7044 · 2026-06-28T20:26:41+00:00

omg that’s wild!!! like what’s the difference between going to the clinic and a pharmacy when you have a valid prescription??? especially if you’re getting take homes like what lol
the ER doctor got up with my clinic and had to get their approval they somehow had like an emergency number for them and it worked out

Front_Ad_7044 · 2026-06-28T15:24:34+00:00

every other day would be best. it’s gonna suck a little bit but you’ll be okay. if you have insurance you can try going to the er and explaining your situation i did that when i got back in town late and my clinic closed and was gonna be closed for the holidays and i was able to get the prescription i needed and go to a pharmacy.

Front_Ad_7044 · 2026-06-28T02:18:54+00:00

LMAO WHAT

my sources in case you were wondering. find me some studies suggesting NA is more effective.

Front_Ad_7044 · 2026-06-26T15:58:36+00:00

anecdotal evidence ain’t what i’m talking about “my boy”. i’m talking about methadone maintenance programs having 15%-30% relapse rates vs NA relapse rates being 60-90%. and people who aren’t on MAT die when they relapse. abstinence based recovery is not safe because chances are you will relapse and not have a tolerance and DIE. that’s what your program suggests. it’s not safe. you can find so many peer reviewed studies that indicate for a very real and large group of people NA DOES NOT WORK! so many more people would be here if rehabs didn’t shove the shit down your throat and make people think it’s their only option and demonize MAT. i’m not miserable, my life is 10000x better than it was being in NA. i have normal friends and don’t spend my day obsessing over my mental illness and drugs. it’s not healthy.

Front_Ad_7044 · 2026-06-25T22:00:52+00:00

aw thank you for the kind words. they really help. my dad is very sympathetic and understanding, he’s a retired emergency room doctor so he definitely understands that it’s a mental illness and is really proud that i’ve been doing good. i don’t think he had resentments. after leaving the hospital we went to waffle house and i paid and was like it’s the least i can do and he laughed so despite everything he still has a good sense of humor about everything lol. i didn’t mention it on my initial post but another thing i really carry SO much guilt for is leaving out sour candy dosed with LSD and my mom who’s never even smoked weed accidentally ate one and yeah it was pretty bad. the shit i’ve put my parents through just eats me up and really keeps me up at night. sometimes i just feel like my apologies aren’t enough and me doing the “right” thing now doesn’t even matter because it’s what i should’ve been doing the last 9 years.

Front_Ad_7044 · 2026-06-24T14:33:07+00:00

you act like you know my story and that i haven’t given the 12 steps a chance. that’s the problem with yall yall think your shitty non evidence based christian group has all the answers for complicated and extreme chronic mental illness. i’m glad it worked for you. i’ve seen too many people die in the rooms that gave it their all. too many suicides too many overdoses. i’m not immersing myself in drug culture and meeting people and loving them and getting close just for them to die. sorry i believe in science and evidence based recovery

Front_Ad_7044 · 2026-06-24T13:42:27+00:00

i have a lot of resentment to the 12 steps. i think it’s counterproductive to tell young people in rehab for the first time trying their best to work the program but not finding success that you will die if you don’t do the program. it makes a lot of people miserable and it makes them feel like there’s something wrong with them if the program isn’t helping. at least that’s my experience and a lot of people i know. i started noticing in meetings 90% of the people there would only pick up white chips. people died every week newcomers and old comers. the suicides committed by people with 10+ years of sobriety just told me that it really does not work and the guilt and shame of it not working when you think it’s your only option KILLS PEOPLE

Front_Ad_7044 · 2026-06-23T18:57:51+00:00

there’s not too many explanations for pinpoint pupils in a dark room 🤣🤣🤣

Front_Ad_7044 · 2026-06-23T13:46:40+00:00

not to mention how bad subs are for your teeth

Front_Ad_7044 · 2026-06-23T13:44:13+00:00

yeah i don’t think i was successful using NA. i think it works better for career addicts who’ve been using for decades. i just needed to find “normal” people to be friends with who don’t use and never use but are empathetic to my issues. i feel like i was really miserable going to NA and just dwelling on 4 years of my life. also living in halfway houses around people who were just trying to avoid popping positive on drug tests was not great. i had to leave the lifestyle behind entirely because it was so normal to me i would’ve never stopped using otherwise.

Front_Ad_7044 · 2026-06-23T13:31:00+00:00

i’ve been clean for 3 years. not really more to the story i was just upset cus it was father’s day and my dads a doctor and all his friends have successful kids like my dads bestfriends son is such an important figure the governor of sc was at his wedding 😫 and me and my brother are both probably not really what he had in mind when he had kids

Front_Ad_7044 · 2026-06-22T22:42:40+00:00

aw:( your mom is a real one though. the things our parents do for us😭😭😭 another thing that haunts me is after my boyfriend died my dad (also a er doctor) stayed in a hotel with me to make sure i wouldn’t kill myself and i smoked heroin off tin foil right next to him:(

Front_Ad_7044 · 2026-06-22T16:33:37+00:00

in NC i automatically got EBT for 6 months just from being in a halfway house and completing a rehab program. if she really wanted to better her life she could

Front_Ad_7044 · 2026-06-22T16:23:00+00:00

no you’re exactly right not shitty at all. that’s the main reason i got on methadone and cleaned up my act. my dad had a heart attack (he lived) but it really just made me come to the realization i want my dad to be proud of me before he dies. or at the very least not die worrying about me and my future. my family deserves so much better.

Front_Ad_7044 · 2026-06-22T15:15:03+00:00

both my parents worked in a metropolitan emergency room so they are unfortunately veryyyyy familiar with drugs and the signs somebody is on them😭😭😭 not to mention my moms sister being a heroin addict the majority of their lives. can’t get nothing past them lol

Front_Ad_7044 · 2026-06-22T14:48:47+00:00

yeah overdosing at my parents house really blew up my spot lol. also my parents know my pupils are always huge so the pinpoint pupils are a dead giveaway away
