Dec 28 2009  Something new

I am trying something different today. Thought maybe helping others in this forum would make me feel more useful. I learned right away that no one listens to anyone here either. They just want to feel superior about quitting a pathetic little habit. Most of them have been taking lortab or percocet a few months and are giving advice to cold turkey to people who have been snorting several oxicontin 80s every day for several years. Depression is a serious problem for real addicts and I mention trying whey protein and got no takers again. I am certain it is the only reason I had such a speedy recovery but others only want to take another pill for the depression. What ever i guess. Learned something of Tramadol on this site. Never thought of it a addictive at all but someone found some detailed information about it. Surprised me. I know that after many failed attempts to quit that the porgram that I am on will work and would love to share it. This bunch of kids getting high for fun has no idea what real addiction is. Unfortunatly i do and it scares me to think there are people suffering, coming to this forum for help and finding a bunch of kids cheering them on to cold turkey. For a few this will result in certain death. One snotty little punk had the nerve to say I wasn't tapering when I had gone from 6 oxy 80s a day to 20 mg of methadone. 40 mg s on the days I had to do things. Pretty quick to have all the answers. wonder where they will be in a few years. I am sure they won't make it. Not with an attitude like that. No Compassion. Some even think the depression is nothing to battle. This also tells me they haven't been at it long. Good for them I hope they never get to the point I did but its a lonely world when a bunch of lightweight kids think they are going to help a hard core addict. Pushing me to the edge. They talk like they think its cool to be addicted. They haven't really been there. hope they don't have to. Do wish they would try to be comapssionate to their fellow man. Ask a few questions before giving stupid advice they know nothing about. I know now I am old when I am saying "KIDS NOWADAYS" ha ha. I feel pretty stupid to think I might find friends here but I think I will try out the journal and the tracker thing if I can figure it out. I will just steer clear of the open forum so as not to let the little lightweights hurt me. Its hard enough finding myself and a new life. Sure don't need to dodge punches from stupid kids that "think" they are addicts because they think its cool. If they understood anything at all they would know that addicts are sensitive that is a big reason they have hunted a substance to numb them. when going through w/d you get way sensitive. When you stablize you still feel more than the average person. I'm going to go ahead and make this visible to everyone. After all, its how I feel right now. Doubt anyone cares about being nice to anyone. Feels good to vent a little. I'm new to this forum **** and thought you were supposed to give your experience.
