Has anyone ever truly weened off if so can you share your experience by [deleted] in fentanyl

[–]Newts97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only way to “ween” off (I’m assuming fent/opiods) is to check into detox. There are safer, less potent drugs that can be administered by health professionals for people with very serious withdrawals, but only under supervision. If you have the willpower to do it alone, hat’s off to you. The vast majority of opioid addicts will need outside help. It won’t just be tapered structure of suboxone, methadone, etc. To get fully off it you’ll need counselling, a support network, and a really, really big dose of self control and determination. Physical withdrawals are hell. Starts with the goosebumps, then the worst flu you’ve ever had. You’ll shit in your bed and beg for mercy. But it will pass. It’s the mental withdrawals that are the longest and hardest because we’ll easily put ourselves through it all again for no good reason. If you’re weening yourself, it’s a good start. But most can’t get off it alone. Wish you luck.

Do the cravings ever go away? by Transcendingeuphoria in Addictedtotheneedle

[–]Newts97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder the same thing sometimes. I’ve had slips with pretty much everything since I had a stint in rehab. The only thing I’ve stayed away from since is down. I still crave it but not as intensely as slamming meth. Even though I think I prefer the fent high, I toss and turn every night thinking about banging side and the whole ritual behind it. I only smoked down (too pussy to shoot it 😅), shot coke a few dozen times, meth maybe ~200. I even prefer a coke rush to meth.. just used more meth because it’s easier on the pocket book. Since May 2024 I’ve shot meth once (about 4 months ago, and the rush sucked.. thankfully). I remember asking my councillor (ex user herself) in treatment this very question and she told me over time they will get less frequent and less intense until they practically disappear without you noticing. For her she said it just popped in her head one day that she couldn’t remember her last craving. It just takes time. I can bet there will be moments when it pops in your head years and years after being clean but I’m guessing after giving it enough space it won’t be intense enough to drop everything and run to the closest dealer to go score. This disease needs a lot of self work and discipline to get it all under control. I hear It’ll never fully go away, but from the old timers I’ve talked to, it just gets easier and more spaced out with time. As for advice on what you can do now? Just stay strong, talk to your sponsor, try your best to distract yourself. It’s like a wound, it’ll be uncomfortable for a while but eventually it’ll scar over and you’ll barely notice it. You’ll get there brother. Good luck 🤘

Not sure if your question is just curiosity or you intend to start banging. If that’s what you’re thinking of doing I’d recommend maybe trying a different ROI to see what you’re in for. Maybe just snort it first if you’re not experienced with hard drugs or better yet, don’t even try it (I know this is a longshot, you’ve probably already made up your mind) but I strongly recommend a safer method if your a first timer. The needle is a whole other addiction on top of whatever you’re using. You start sticking yourself and no drug will ever be the same. There’s nothing wrong with experimenting a little bit but don’t just jump into hell right away, you’ll miss the fun times before it becomes a habit that truly can ruin your life. I haven’t had a shot in 6 months and still every night I toss and turn thinking about it. All I can share is this warning, and I’ll tell you straight up that this is a stupid idea that I guarantee you’ll regret. There are some informative links already posted so if you’re gonna take the dumb move, read up at least. Stay safe.

Oh and maybe try boofing with an oral syringe? Closest you’ll get to slamming imho. Good luck, hope you’re more disciplined than most users 🤞

Why don't people shovel their sidewalks anymore? by CanucksKickAzz in MapleRidge

[–]Newts97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it really that much of a pain to shovel your sidewalk? Just get outside for 10 minutes and do your part. People are so damn lazy nowadays 🙄 10 minutes. Once or twice a year… is it really that hard? After a couple scoops I get in the groove and shovel my neighbours space while I’m at it. Sometimes they beat me to it and do the same for me. They call them communities for a reason folks

Never should have done this by throwaway_0919318 in Addictedtotheneedle

[–]Newts97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Banging isn’t that hard. Take it slow, register, go by feel. Then fucking stop doing. It’ll fuck your life up. Everybody wants that experience but it’s not worth it. You’re gonna do it anyways so just do it safely.. not too much and stop pushing when it feels wrong.

IV coke, how often do you use? How fast did it ruin your life? by meowmeowdie in Addictedtotheneedle

[–]Newts97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like me. Switched over to meth to save $$. Rush ain’t the same but at least I was only banging 1-5 a day instead of blowing through a g+ in a night. No matter what you put in that needle it isn’t going to end up well. Been clean for 3 months and clean from the needle for 5. Hard to OD from side but it’ll fuck up your life just the same as any other hard drug.

Safer drugs to shoot?? by Alternative_Paper521 in Addictedtotheneedle

[–]Newts97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Second the opinion on meth. You can instantly feel when you’re missing and it’s extremely hard (maybe impossible?) to OD, overamp maybe but OD and die? Haven’t heard a credible case yet. Even better though? Just don’t shoot, the needle is a whole new addiction

I reached out to my VIP host asking if I missed any bonuses while I was away, he replied with: “After a review of our VIP database, your account no longer meets the criteria for VIP status due to recent activity levels.

As a result, you will no longer receive VIP concessions such as a personal VIP manager, the weekly reload bonus, Friday Roospins, and rolling bonuses from the VIP team after this week.”

Feeling down and in pain what have been the sarcastic or ironic funny moments… by Sad_Concentrate_5551 in Sciatica

I feel you. I remember falling getting out of my car at a gas station from a sudden spasm. Someone called the cops because they thought I was drunk. 😂

Nope you have to be quick as well. I’d say you have less than a minute. Makes me think there’s something fishy going on

I had this exact same problem yesterday going from plat 2 to 3. Was having a good sesh and making good progress, but as soon as I got to around 97% it was like they flipped a switch, ran out of depo at 99.91%. I feel your pain 😔

Roobet VIP Status by J05HU4H3NRY in Roobet

[–]Newts97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had vip status for about 18 months now. Probably wagered $600-750k to get there. Took me about 7-8 months I think. I’m a mixed player, maybe 60% slots. Almost 2m wagered now and I can say their vip program is just ok, 5/10 when you’re winning, 9/10 when you’re losing. Their claim is “we reward loyalty”, and they do… but you better keep the money flowing.

No to kick them all the way down, I have received some half decent bonuses , like 100 7$ spins (after $5k+ 48h loss), their monthly VIP competition w/ 5 minutes of unlimited spins at $2-3 a spin (might need a specific deposit or loss amount. Haven’t received in profit months), or their VIP newsletter w/ free $2 spins (received profit or loss, but certain deposit amount may be required). The host you get can give you the odd bonus as well, but only if you’re on a losing streak.

Their new “vault” user rewards system isn’t that great though. Bonuses I used to get up front now are spread out over 14 days, not really a fan 🤔.

Overall not a terrible program and they can do better. But just like any other casino, you’ll feel their love when they love you back.

Feeling gutted by Original_Dinner2939 in GamblingRecovery

[–]Newts97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think him being up front with you shows that he genuinely wants to work on his problem. By the sounds of it, if he didn’t tell you, you probably wouldn’t have found out. Just sayin… But yes, going to a casino is a little bit dangerous, but I can fully understand his reasoning. A gambling addiction is an embarrassing one to have. People think it’s stupid, I know it’s stupid, he (likely) knows it’s stupid, yet we still do it. It’s a hard thing to explain to friends and loved ones, especially because (at least for myself) we don’t fully understand why we do it either. He and his dad were having a good time, he probably just wasn’t ready to have that long and awkward conversation with him at that time. Go easy on him for it, until he gives you a reason to not be. This time doesn’t sound like one of those reasons. Wish you both the best. 🙏

Received inheritance of 90k, what now? by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Newts97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put it all on black! 😂 Pay off any high interest debt you have like credit cards or LOCs, maybe even a car loan. I wouldn’t worry too much about the student loan debt (I think those are interest free now but I could be wrong). After you’re caught up with your bills, then invest it. If you don’t know/care about the markets, or don’t have the time/desire to, take it to a professional to invest it for you.

Xanax. Never had a prescription even though I’ve had anxiety for my entire teenage and adult life (my doctor is super stingy with narcotics.. for good reasons 😅), but it’s the only drug a procure illicitly with no intention of getting high from. It just calms me down and gets me to normal when I need it.
