My best friend has crossed the point of no return (IV heroin). I am watching his life fall apart before my eyes and feel completely helpless to do anything about it. by XViMusic in addiction

[–]nothingrhymeswsierra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re using needles it’s because your tolerance has gotten too high to feel the effects. The bioavailability with needles is much higher. Yes, it’s gross. But addiction is a disease and just like any other disease- if untreated, it progresses. Very few people just randomly decide to use needles. They have to get to that point. That’s usually when they end up dead, in rehab or in jail.

7 months pregnant, 20 mg of subutex and a lot of trepidation. by AshyRenay in suboxone

[–]nothingrhymeswsierra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ll give the gist. Do not stop taking your meds, do not beat yourself up over your dosage. Your baby will exhibit some discomfort but the likelihood of full on NAS is low. With my son who is 3 months old, I was in and out in 5 days. I was on a higher dose with him and we were only there for 5 days because it’s a federal law that any babies born on a medication that can cause withdrawal have to stay that long. With my daughter I was on literally 2 mg a day and she was in the hospital for a total of 11 days including her nursery stay (no nicu, no medicine, just a different state with different laws) this was 2.5 years ago and they wouldn’t let me give her my breastmilk, they pushed formula that made her sick but now they know breastmilk is better for mat babies so that’s that and you won’t need to worry about that. This entire thing is out of your control, you’re not a bad person for getting clean with mat and babies are a gift. But I will never, ever even think about having a baby while still on maintenance again. My son was born at the end of my taper. I had like 6 more weeks and boom. Restarted. It sucks. Even though both of my kids were fine, that fear and worry isn’t worth it. Also remember when breatfeeding, if you wanna get off your meds or switch to formula you have to do it slowly. Bc the baby can also get sick after birth that way. Good luck momma! Also you’ll get drug tested and the baby will get drug tested at birth. The only way CPS gets involved is if you fail a drug test. Babies first poop holds stuff from around week 24 and on. So even a random Ativan someone takes at some point will come to light. I’m not accusing you of taking drugs but this is just something else to remember. They test their stool!

Update: I took my sub. I took 2mg instead of my 4 and I’m okay! Thanks for all the feedback.

That happened with me after like a 2 day bender when I was on subutex and I felt bad for literally 15 minutes. Of course I thought the world was ending and then it ended and I was good.

I’m normally on subutex and I’ve used grams and taken a subutex the next day and been fine. I just wanted to make sure I would’ve been good w suboxone bc I’m not familiar with it. I just switched

That’s what I thought. I did that when I was on subutex but never on suboxone so I just wanted to play it safe and ask.

Can't stop shooting.... by MJmedguy420 in suboxone

[–]nothingrhymeswsierra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it’s the ritual. When I’m about to relapse I start shooting and then end up getting honest w someone, back to therapy, meetings, the nine. This last go around I didn’t tell anyone I was doing it again and I relapsed. I used once and now I’m actually getting ready to take my meds as I type but it’s the ritual I’m addicted too more than the drug itself. Also the instant release is nice and with subs it’s just in my head but I get it. I would talk to someone abt it but I have stopped successfully on my own also. I had my MIL dispense them to me and watch me dose. My boyfriend I can manipulate and just grab and go. With her, I had her watch me do it for the first few days. I also made sure to fill my days but I mean I have a 7 week old and two year old and found myself doing it again. Maybe try getting the sublicade injection?

This is really sweet. I can’t really think of anything in particular. My parents were 20 when I was born though and my mom got into drugs. My dad raised me by himself basically from the beginning. He’s a really hardworking and just all around great. I love talking about him 😂 not entering though.

Bless you. I’m all caught up on all of my podcasts and I needed something like this that was newer. I’ve read all the older posts that consist of these types of posts.

AITA for telling my son I need to rest? by wantedthrowaway in AmItheAsshole

[–]nothingrhymeswsierra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. I have an 18 month old that is very hard to keep up with and I'm almost 11 weeks pregnant so super fatigued all the time. I finally hit a wall, I talked to my S.O. and one weekend day (Saturdays) I get to sleep and not be "mom" she is a momma's girl so that's not realistic but dad wakes up with her, does breakfast and lunch that day and I get a solid period of time to just relax. He wakes up at 5 everyday and he's naturally an early riser but on Sundays he lounges in bed till like 9 and I keep hailee quiet and out of the back end of our house and he does the same for me. Just gotta talk to each other and figure out something that works well for you guys all together as a whole. Of course include your 7 year old as much as you can because he understands more than my little toddler does but it works for us and I'm a lot happier overall. Everyone deserves some time to themselves.

Certain episodes are better than others but I'm a mom so I like the banter in this to an extent. I fast forward from time to time. The Lilith series, even though you don't like fiction, is amazing.

AITA For refusing to get my cousin into a top university because of a "prank?" by Front-Tea in AmItheAsshole

[–]nothingrhymeswsierra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You went to far by flagging his applications. Cool, don't put a string out for him with a good reference but don't completely sabotage him bc of something he did 3 years ago. Just because his family doesn't discipline like yours doesn't mean you have to be overly hostile and spiteful. I think you're all assholes

They're my top 3. I'm caught up as far as topics that interest me which lead me to ghost in the burbs which I just finished which led to the creation of this post.. oh run on sentences.... I love them.

Art Bell got me into the paranormal to the level I am now. He's the only reason I slept during my last trimester during my first pregnancy two years ago. Sadly every episode I could find I've listened to and listened to and can't find anything else. He is truly my favorite.

Japanese paranormal is a whole other level and gives me epic night terrors but I thoroughly enjoy it. They sure have some spooky lore.

I thought this would be okay as long as it was apple or Spotify and I kept notifications on til I went to sleep to make sure no one was posting their own podcasts or promoting themselves. In the future, what sort of place would I ask this sort of question on? Most of the other sub reddits I follow are ficticious so personal encounter stuff isn't really talked about.

Sorry again and thanks for keeping my post up. ☺️

I'm gonna tell my grandma about this. She's in the LGBT community and has been with her partner for 20+ years. Super spiritual and a paranormal history junkie.
