Caleb,
Thanks so much for your post. This is why I'm not ordering more one day at a time. I have several programs that I attend and I have a great therapist. I get support and I know that drugs are not the way to go. Thanks for having the courage to share your story.
> I was also fine using opiates/opioids only on weekends for quite a while... but in the last 3 months, the longest I've gone without an opioid in my system is one measly week.. In the last couple of weeks... the longest I've gone is about 1 day. I'm by no means physically addicted, but psychologically, I suppose I am. Make no mistake, these drugs ARE addictive. They feel wonderful, of course - and that's why so many folks get hooked. Some people are able to use occasionaly, yes... but once you get a liking for the stuff.. well, it can be quite easy to fall into addiction. Nobody plans to be addicted, most current or former addicts started off as occasional users, and believed they had everything in control - but one morning they wake up and find themselves in withdrawl.
