I'm on day 3 or 4 (I can't keep track of time anymore tbh) of heroin and meth withdrawal, and I'm questioning my decision due to how sick I've become. Go on, Zig Forums. Convince me otherwise.
I'm on day 3 or 4 (I can't keep track of time anymore tbh) of heroin and meth withdrawal...
embrace pain
I haven't been able to eat much of anything. I can't sleep. I'm in the most pain I've ever been, in my life. Idea sucks.
Meth withdrawal it's just mental.. I mean the heroin one it is pretty bad, I was in a bad situation (addicted) for 2 years. I knocked it off in a week and something.. The people that you have around right now are really important because at this point, your friends are probably all junkies.. So, be alone, defeat the addiction and get a normal life..
Heroin was fucking great in my country, I miss it a lot, never experienced something close to it again.. Too bad
Idk what your tolerance is or how much you were doing but opiates can actually kill you if you quit cold turkey. I’m not saying keep up the addiction, but maybe weaning off the heroin would be better? I’m not sure though, at 4 days I’d say you’re probably safe but you may want to research. Can’t imagine how shitty it feels man. Stay strong
Listen op, you are doing nothing but something good for yourself and in the long run youll do nothing but benefit yourself and your family / friends around you.
No one likes a meth-head, or a junkie, no one is attracted to people like that.
Youve got ambitions, dreams, expectations.
Dont let yourself down.
4 days / the rest of your life.
Youll make it, stronger than before.
you need to go to an ER and get pumped full of IV lorazepam or methadone. you could probably use a saline drip to to bum your electrolights. im just coming off an alcohol binge (long term alcoholic but slipped up during covid) and i was throwing up so bad i thought i would rupture my esophagus... was about 30 minutes from calling 911...
tl:dr you should probably go to an ER but if you're an urban center in the US that is also scary af
I don't have anybody in person except for my roommate. She has 0 respect for me, and we disagree on everything. She's only still here because she pays rent, and I can't afford the place otherwise. She's taken photos of me on the floor after an overdose because she thought I looked funny.
I relapsed, and I'm trying to quit again. I'm rather distant toward online friends, and am overall very private. It's hard.
This is my second time quitting after a relapse. Day 3 and 4 are typically considered the worst.
I've had very negative experience with healthcare, and if something like this were on my medical records, I don't think I'd be able to keep or get a job. I'm not comfortable with it, so I'm trying to survive.
it will end eventually and if you avoid them after that you will never have to feel that way again.
however if you don't stick with it, life will become unmanageable to a degree that you will be forced to be in this state for many times to come due to not being able to acquire it...
Just go get on subs or methadone. I've been shooting dope for 12 years and once I made the decision to quit subs became a life saver. My quality of life is 1000x better. Got my medical marijuana card this week as well due to being a junkie.
It's hard to believe that, tbh. I get the impression I'm even more terrible to be around when sober. Everything awful about me, to myself and others, gets worse. I don't talk about my feelings at all. I cry too much (alone; nobody knows how upset I always am). I don't leave the house. I'm truly doubtful I'm better off sober.
I've heard you can become addicted to that as well, and again, I've had incredibly terrible experiences with healthcare. It still hurts to think about.
Stick with it, don't let the demons beat you, stay strong
Push through man
4 days in with heroin withdrawal and youre on the up, day 2 is the worst day 1 is awful, and day 3 sucks but you can feel that it's getting better.
Stay strong and keep at it, you'll be happy you did in the long term. Good luck.
I'm sorry you've had this terrible experiences. The thing about subs or methadone is that they get you stable and not sick anymore so it gives you an opportunity to improve the other areas of your life without having to worry about being sick. Yes they are physically addictive and just as bad to come off of as dope if you do it cold turkey but under a gradual taper it is pretty painless. The doctor visits for subs are literally less than 5 minutes. Most of them are rubber stamped places just trying to make money but it beats being sick.
Think of it dude
All that time you spent just trying to score
All that money you spent when you knew you could barely afford rent or food for next week
You ever overdose? How scary was that, man?
That's not the life you want
You want to be able to eat every day whenever you want to
You want to be able to hold down a job
You want to have shit to do that isn't just being passed out for an hour or bouncing off the fucking walls
You want people on the street or at the store to stop treating you like some sort of subhuman
You want a family and someone to love you who isn't going to try hock your playstation for meth
You want to be free
You can get there dude, this is the hardest of it all, that mountain to climb
Soon you'll be running down the other side
This anonymous cunt from Australia believes in you
Don't disappoint me, Zig Forumsro
Former meth head/heroin junkie here.
I recommend kratom. Research it and try it, it's wonderful. It's kept me off hard drugs for over 3 years now.
i used to be like that. i worked in govt security and then corp info security so i had to hide all my addictions and mental illness to the point it was instinctual and it was hard to convince doctors that i wasn't just fishing for a free high (cause it's canada so it's free to go to the ER, though u have to pay for the ambulance)

Kratom just really isn't that effective for dealing with withdrawals from a moderate dope habit or any kind of fentanyl analog. I could eat 10 g of it and it wouldn't even touch my sickness. Kratom was great for getting off of subs though.
Everybody is different. There is no easy or fun way to quit heroin, but kratom helped me immensely.
Relapse and die. Stick to it and don't die, I think?
I think I'd kill myself sober. A lot of loneliness and feelings of social disconnect.
I'm in the US. Even with insurance, the bills aren't worth it.
...
Don't do it, OP. I lost my dad to drugs. It's a slow, painful process, dying from drug addiction. You may be in pain while you're in withdrawal but it's nothing to the pain of tearing apart your life and family. That shit'll kill you and hurt everyone around you long after you're gone. You're going to have to make the choice that no one else can make. The right choice. Quit the drugs because you can take it. Because you're not our hero. You're a massive faggot. A humongous retard. The OP. Who'll suck dicks if you're not here? Do it for the dicks, OP. If not for the dicks, do it for the dubs. Check 'em.
You're honestly the most right person here.
Gotta endure man, heroin is for loosers
Why are you coming to Zig Forums?
So I knew a guy who had to bounce back from heroin. I never experienced whatnyoure gojng through bht just from what he has said about the experience:
Make sure you drink lots of B vitamins and water. Your body is probably more dehydrated than you think.
The shittiest part of the withdrawals last for a week, maybe 2. If you can make it 30 days clean then you're good from there, its all about how badly you wanna get clean. Find some mental fortitude and just last for 30 days, from there its all psychological.
You are in an abusive relationship, OP, and your abuser is your addiction. You would do anything to pacify it: you would drive across town or even the state for it; you would withdraw every last cent in your bank account, you would commit crimes to keep it happy, and you may be too afraid to imagine a life without it. The feeling of physical separation that comes in the form of withdrawal seems too much to bear, and even when/if you manage to leave this relationship, there is still a part of you that wants to go back and continue it and reconnect with your ex, despite a part of you knowing full well the potential consequences of doing so: poverty, crime, jail, more overdoses, and even death are waiting for you, if you continue to stay in this relationship known as addiction.
To escape this relationship requires mental strength and lots of it. It may require moving and completely changing your surroundings. It may require changing who your friends are, and it may require changing other aspects of your life that you can't even imagine right now: but you know you must, because you know what is at stake.
I have trust issues and insecurity. I just need to get things off my chest without the feeling I'd be judged by someone I care about. I want to talk, but I feel ashamed. It's nice to know that, inevitably, I am nobody to the system, and it will all eventually disappear. Even if archived, it's virtually impossible to know my identity. There are no expectations for me to live up to, nobody for me to offend, nobody to scare away, nobody who will hold it against me, nobody to judge, because in the end, my face isn't shown, my name and handles are nonexistent, the thread is pruned, and no matter what I do, say, think, or feel, I'm just a couple numbers that truly mean nothing, except for a functional database.
