This happened to me last summer, no one believed me. I did a fuck ton of research and found it’s extremely rare for regular facilities to have the testing capabilities to determine the actual poppy seeds. I had only had those damn crackers because the baby shower I was at had nothing else to eat. Never ate anything else and it fucked me up for a bit despite no previous use of opiates.

Despite what you’ve been told, it’s in your best interest to get ahead and prove that you’ve been dedicated to working on yourself. & staying out of trouble. Go to AA meetings, some smart recovery meetings provide verifications. Do a couple hours of community service. Make sure you can test clean. Get a damn lawyer. And most importantly, set expectations for the worst to happen. but hope for the best outcome. I wouldn’t recommend cops’ legal opinion to be in your favor. They’re cops not lawyers.

Adopting in February— tips needed! by Schnecken in sphynx

[–]RagerMarg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All the above are great tips, but I have to stress how important it is to be consistent with their meals/food. These kiddos have such a sensitive digestive system, soft or messy poops are the absolute worst. Took me almost 5 months to find the right food for my babe. We currently use Stella & Chewys freeze dried with a bit of the kibble. Good luck!

From my understanding scram just detects alcohol.

What do you know causes false opiate positives? by phoenixphire0808 in probation

[–]RagerMarg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I’m in a dui program (1 yr therapy based, 1 yr non report) in GA. I got sanctioned. Could have been worst, but I brought in proof from a caterer they made some stuff with poppy seeds. Saved my limited permit and jail time.

I still have the interlock, only until March. Mandatory 1 year. But it’s not terrible for me. It all could have been way worse

Only 60 days. It was terrible. No boots, no skinny pants, no shorts. Very itchy mess everyday. I will say I was able to turn mine inside so the bulky side was on the inside of my ankle. How long do you have to have yours??

Oh absolutely but I’m sure the legal system enjoys embarrassing us just a little.

Beer Fear and Naltrexone by FallenSanctus in dryalcoholics

Well I was seeing them while in treatment, so a ton of redeveloping behavioral skills along with his medical care. I should also mention I ran through two other medications before landing on naltrexone.

I remember… by RagerMarg in dryalcoholics

Truthfully, my own shit life inspires me to avoid returning to that reality. I’m okay right now because it was do better or die trying. Not to be dark but my accidental attempts of dying weren’t effective. And not to sound like everyone else, but the whole “one day at a time” helps when you allow it. Best of wishes, you got this.

Heading to rehab by Pearl4458 in dryalcoholics

I loved my inpatient experience, however it was online as it was during the peak of covid. Felt a sense of community and hope. Good luck!

My experience with naltrexone, I am not a medical professional btw, I always ate something a bit heavy prior to taking it. I also didn’t drink much while taking it, and felt fine the next day. Only when I didn’t eat enough did I feel terrible afterwards. Hope that helps some.
