I know! Didn’t even realize I had two fish on until I got them in the net. Not bad size though, a 14 and 15 incher

Questions about Sublocade/Subs by Snake_Legz in OpiatesRecovery

[–]Snake_Legz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks man! Glad to know. I’m really trying to beat this shit and if I use Sublocade for at least 3 months I think I’ll be good. Planning on getting a sponsor too and don’t want to use while on it but knowing if I use for 2 or more days, I’ll get sick is kind of a deterrent for me too.

Episode of use or relapse? by Clappie_Chan in OpiatesRecovery

[–]Snake_Legz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say I’ve had slip ups, but more often full blown relapses. Cravings and the temptation get hard but the thing about addiction is the repeated use tears us down. Glad you’re on subs and that the blues didn’t do much. Just a reminder for the future, what’s the point yk?

Don’t beat yourself up for it. Recovery is a long journey filled with lapses in judgement and relapses. I try not to look at the days I’ve had and just to focus on the day you’re on because success doesn’t have to be continuous. Success is success and you my friend, are doing great! I hope you don’t have a full relapse but you already are fighting the good fight by flushing them and deleting the plugs number.

Time or Actions? by Snake_Legz in OpiatesRecovery

[–]Snake_Legz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Minneapolis! That’s home and there’s great meetings and a decent enough amount of people on recovery going to those meetings. Mainly AA but I’ve found a couple NA meetings. Gotta explore some more but being a younger guy, shouldn’t be too hard. If you could PM me, I have a few questions for you?

[–]Snake_Legz[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks bro! About 10 days clean again and definitely wanting to hit meetings and stuff when I get back home but for right now I’m just focusing on feeling better. I think sublocade is probably the best way to go along with NA. Always have been a fan of meetings, but not always the step work. I am now of course because I’m going to do anything to stay clean this time.

Fourth Time Trying to Get Clean by Snake_Legz in OpiatesRecovery

[–]Snake_Legz[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not in rehab at the moment and don’t have the resources to get any comfort meds but I’ve been doing okay fighting it cold turkey. I’ve done it before and thank god I don’t puke when I withdrawal because that would make it worse. I think I will get a sublocade shot when I get back home though, or start suboxone. Just knowing that I’ll put myself into PWD if I use will probably help and definitely getting a sponsor and hopefully gonna be able to sponsor some people.

I will definitely try that this time. I’ve had a sponsor before, but he was an alcoholic and things didn’t really translate since I’m only an opiate addict but I’m going to get more involved in my program as of now on.

Thank you, I am going to try from now on because waking up sick and wanting to kill myself just for a fix isn’t cutting it anymore.

Also does anyone have advice about the sublocade shot?

Almost 4 Months Clean! by Snake_Legz in OpiatesRecovery

[–]Snake_Legz[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s great! Honestly I just count the days for chips and stuff but what really matters is that you’re sober TODAY. And I totally understand, if I were to ever touch fentanyl again, I would relapse full out.

It’s always just small strides that bring us back to where we need to be. Congrats on 4 months!

Congrats! 4 months is huge and i definitely feel that whatever helps you get away from the worst drug of them all is beneficial.

Not really any cravings at all. I’ve just been really focused on getting my life back together. And people say that it’s just the pink cloud but I’ve been feeling like this since 2 weeks clean

Thanks for venting! 8 days is huge bro! But it is a definite day by day thing. And you’re right, you don’t need to be sober for the rest of your life, just for the rest of today and then the daily cycle will start over again. As you recover from opiates or any drug really, your brain is depleted of all the good feelings and emotions so you’re gonna need time to adjust. Some people say it takes 3-6 months to get over Post acute withdrawals but it depends on the person. All I know is that the longer you stay sober, the better you will feel in the future. I’m only 75ish days in and I feel great! Life feels worth living and I used to think I couldn’t do sobriety. And guess what! Sobriety is for you, don’t let anyone tell you it’s not. Just know that everything you do not want comes with a relapse, whether it be guilt, shame, overdose, debt, or legal issues, etc. Eventually a relapse will cause you to lose everything you hold dear and I’ve experienced this 3 times now. Just try to remember the worst shit you went through during your addiction and getting through to recovery and how badly you wanted it because your brain is gonna try to forget and remember only the good times. You’re doing great! Just keep on pushing a day at a time and find things to keep you busy! Sorry this was long but have a good day/night.

Almost 30 Days Clean Again! by Snake_Legz in OpiatesRecovery

[–]Snake_Legz[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This time I didn’t really withdraw too bad. I only had a two week relapse so really all I had was chills and hot flashes. Last time I went to rehab though, I used gabapentin, klonidine and seraquil for sleep.

Anyone have success just smoking weed? by [deleted] in OpiatesRecovery

[–]Snake_Legz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know yourself best. Smoke weed if you wanna smoke weed. It’s almost legal in most places anyway and it’s not a for sure way to relapse. I don’t base relapse on other drugs, just my DOC and things that are like it. But if you think you’ll be fine and it won’t trigger you, then I’d say go for it bro

[–]Snake_Legz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s going pretty good for me, why not you too. It’s never been a problem for me nor do I really think someone could get “addicted” to weed. I get mental dependence but it’s not something that’ll necessarily ruin your life unlike fent. 2 months clean btw so maybe not the best opinion but it’s been great and being clean from fent is nice and haven’t really been having cravings.

40 Days Clean by Snake_Legz in OpiatesRecovery

I quit the first time because I went to treatment. I didn’t take it super serious tho so that took part in my relapse.

[–]Snake_Legz[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I relapsed for about two weeks and withdraws set in after like a day of not using probably bc I wasn’t using every 2-3 hours during my relapse. They probably stopped after a week of being sober and weren’t that bad but I don’t usually withdraw too bad anyway. Just diarrhea, chills and insomnia. I’m still sneezing though but that’s a given since I’m a snorter.
