The words that I read are very encouraging and would like to see them continued to help me and others.
I think that "most" of us are adults and can filter out the "riff-raff" that try to destroy something good that's going on.
"One too many, a thousand never enough"
Whatever they decide, it is their right to do as they choose. From what I understand, they don't get many donations from the members to help keep this place running.
I appreciate this place having been here as long as it has.
I too am new to this forum..please keep it going.
I'm doing DETOX tommorow in the hospital for at least 4 days..I need these people to help me stay strong!
Thanks
"PLEASE..Do not let the hackers ruin it for us who need this site. If it gets shut down they will love it! They will win! Think of how powerful they wil feel if they get this site shut down....It will just encourage them to do it again somewhere else. So..lets all just ignore them and they wil go away! Catch em if you can. Punnish them not us! Thank you for your help!"

I read yours and then just quit to respond. I have read some of your posts and I just wanted to say that I have quit so many times......but never for good.......the usual opiates by prescription, lol, only cos I never found anyplace else to get them and anyway wouldn't be able to afford anything that my insurance didn't pay for...Anyway, I came across this site by accident, actually doing a search on the "New Non Narcotic Pain Med" (ultram) HA!
I was recently taking the newly evil medicine and everytime my script ran out I was having classic withdrawals.....almost as bad as Oxycontin, not as bad as codeine, but worse than darvocet and lortabs WD combined. Did My doctor warn me about this? NOOOO!I am now on Day 7 because of this Forum. I have read so many inspirational and encouraging words here. Luckily I have a very supportive husband, but who knows how long anyones patience will really last time after time after time.......In fact like you, I was thinking earlier about letting my hubby read these.....your message just reinforced that thought. Good Luck to You and All!!
Well Everyone!
I hope the mess gets straightened out and this Forum stays.
I for one would be very disappointed if it was gone.....

10 mg tabs a day for over four years, I dont even know if that i a high, med or low dose.I was a cop for nearly 10 years and I took a drug class given by experienced drug investigators and remember listening to all their bull about how metadon only comes in a liquid and there is no such thing as a prescription for methadone you can only get it a dose at a time etc etc etc. All the time I sat there with a prescription bottle of methadone in my car!! I could tell lots of other stories but I am sre yoou have heard them all. Hope everthing works out ok for this forum as I belive it is serving a life saving purpose.
God bless you all

I asked God to take away my habit.
God said, No.
It is not for me to take away,
but for you to give it up.
welcome to the forum! ther will always be room for just one more
junky who wantsnsomething more than what's in the bottom of an
almost empty vial of pills.
i'm an old junky with 35 years of expierence. well i'm trying to
"peel off the labels that the medical and legal systems applied!
i do believe that we have something to offer one another....
please keep posting! i very much want to see you get clear of the
methadone. it can be done. but for now the order of the day is to
post to us a lot, decide who is worth your time.
keep an azngel on your shoulder

of it 2 months ago and it was hard.I started at 60 mgs then for a year I took 40 mgs a day.I started tapering 40 to 20 then to
10 mgs a day.That took 6 months to taper down to 10.Do it slowly
or you will feel like ****,believe me!Once you get to 10 mgs a day you can taper on down to below 5 mgs a day then stop.There
is a recipe here on the forum called the famous 'Thomas' withdrawal 'recipe' and it will help 1000%.Good luck and post on!
bmac
hope everyone is doing and feeling good.
sorry to hear that the kid is still useing others names.
it a bummer.
but other than that life is great, and it was good to hear from
gwh this morning,
peace!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My family doc FINALLY called back an hour ago..he did say that he can have me Detox on an outpatient basis but it would be a much longer process than the Detox in the Hospital...so I have a choice now....now I don't know what to do??? AHHHH!!! These demons! Mu hubby thinks I should just go in and get it over with..he has no idea about how awkward it is to be with a bunch of strangers and people telling you when to wake up, eat, get counseling all day..etc.. I really don't get why they have to put me on Methadone during Detox..it really doesn't make any sense to me..but that's what they do for addicts wanting to come clean.
Anyway, welcome to the Forum! Ask someone here to give you the Thomas Recipe. I hear it really works for withdrawals.
Good luck..
probley banned from the fourm in the past,
they figured out how to get our i d numbers.
i know how they did it, but phil emailed me and asked me not to talk about that.
lets just say it is not hard , you just have to bee obsessed.
i feel bad for that person , they have real problems.
it, s ashamed that they have to hurt people the way they have.
sunday, i was feeling really great watching the eagles win and all.
then i stop in the fourm to see my name hippy posting
these insane post, i felt like i had been robbed,
not many things bother me but that did.
then when i paoted that it was not me, i got even worse treatment
from chezz, who by the way is my pick for who it is.
then he emails me with a bunch of off color emails.
after i had been nothing but nice to him .
he is still emailing me , and asking me why i can't spell on the fourm , but when i email him i spell fine.
well i am just lazy and that is that some times i check it some not.
in any event i hope we get to keep the fourm, i will donate.
well peace like ive said before i really love this place and the folks here, and the people on there way
Peace
i hope you are feelig well
how are ya doing.
my name is michael and i have been
here at the fourm for 8 months.
6 months clean from vikes.
thanks to the receipe and the folks here.
peace!!!!!!!!!
in the morning gave me plenty of energy then i took the rest
of the receipe. then would eat a bowl of oatmeal.
this gave me plenty of energy and lifted the depression.
it took about 2 weeks then i started to feel happy and such.
but after about 2 monts i felt back to normal amd exersized
a lot. rideing a stationary bike and work helped with lots of water.
i also took 5htp for the mental part. and still do along
with the receipe, lowering the l-tyrosine to 4 a day.
then eat then the rest of the receipe.
5htp is a vitamine taht produces the good feeling from your brain
natraul endorphins.
untill you check with your doc or ask thomas 2
here at the fourm.
eeeeeverybody hates me!
i'm gonna eat some worms!
fat ones, skinny ones,
little itty bitty ones,
i'm gonna eat some worms!
i'm goooooonnaaaaaaaaaa bite their heads off,
suck their guts out,
throw their skins away!
cause everybody know's that i eat worms
24 hours a day!
Thank you God for helping me make it through just one more day
i hopw tomorrow is not quite so bad.
dont even have enough energy to type anymore.
between the unbearable pain in my back and the headaches i have accomplished next to nothing around the house.
Praying for you all
God Bless
cleo101
Laura--you poor thing..The headaches are normal when you cut back..hang in there it does subside. I found that a very HOT bath on the neck being submerged really helps, then put a cold rag on your head and a ice pack on your neck. Do not drink Caffiene as this will actually add to the jitters. In Detox we are not allowed to have any coffee with caffiene on decaf. Also, at most malls or Bed & Bath stores they have a herbal pack that smells real strong..you can either freeze it or heat it up in a microwave..put that on your neck..The herbel smell actual is part of the therapy and it works. Ask your hubby or someone to massage your neck and rub the top of your head. I hope this works for you...I hate headaches and it is part of the process of coming off of drugs..but they don't last forever.
Thank you all for your encouragement and help. I will be back on in about 10 days or so.
PEACE
Anyway..take care and as Chezz says...Get a grip!
Keep that angel on your shoulders..
Suzie
Man am I confused! I still haven’t figured out just exactly what is going on here, what post(s) are in question, and to hear Cheez is the one doing it; this just doesn’t make any sense!
Phil, this site has helped me TREMENDOUSLY! I don’t know if I would have been able to quit, had it not been for THIS forum, and its members! I didn’t know who the site was ran by, or how it was financially supported, but I too would be willing to make monetary contributions. Hell, I give my time and money to the United Way and various other charities (deducted straight from my paycheck bi-weekly), which although I am sure my money has helped others; besides the altruistic nature of giving, it didn’t directly benefit me. THIS SITE HAS DIRECTLY BENEFITED ME AND SOOOOOOOOOO MANY OTHERS! Tell us what you need, and where to send it to; I am sure you’d be shocked, and pleasantly surprised, by the financial support you would receive to keep this site up and running!
Like they say at the United Way: “A few dollars alone, might not seem like much or that it could help/benefit anyone, but when it’s combined with his money, her money, and their money, ect. ect. ect. it can work wonders!”
Sincerely,
Jennyfer
It isn't me obviously. Here is my new handle. They obviously got my other password under the old system.
It sounds to me like they are a :
Tribe of GAY YOGI BEARS looking for a little attention.
Chezz
He/she seeks responses from us...cannot live without hearing back that he/she got to us. We fuel the fire there...without responses from us, he/she is powerless.
Look at what's happening with the D.C. sniper. The media says he's a sharp shooter and "genious" at evading the police. Man, this person is eating up all the glory. His story has been front-page on most newspapers in the country, on the cover of many major mags, and you can't turn on a T.V. or radio without hearing moment-to-moment commentary. I wonder what would happen if the media didn't make one more comment about it.
I—like most of the board—have NO CLUE what’s going on. I understand, from reading the archives that apparently there is a poser and a “hacker” among us. What I don’t understand, is exactly who he/she has been posting as, and how they were able to access board members accounts and passwords?
I have no idea who’s who anymore. Has this person possibly posted as “Player,” the guy I got into a fight with last Friday; and then accidentally mistaken “Pimpshit” for yesterday?
Bottom line, if you ignore them, they will become uninterested, bored, and go away. It’s obvious this person is seeking revenge and attention; so just don’t grant their wish, by taking the bait. . .hook. . .line. . .and sinker!!
I hope all this clears up soon because I would hate to see a potential new poster, turned off or away, from this board, because of someone(s) childless behavior! Although I’m a relatively new member, finding this board was the ONE thing that finally got me sober. Sure, I was the one ultimately responsible for not taking the pills, and changing my behavior, but communicating with individuals who knew exactly what I was experiencing, was more helpful than mere words can express!
PS To BMAC: Is there any chance you (or anyone else for that matter) has heard from Sean? I have been thinking about him, and just wondering if he’s still sober, and if his wife has wised up and forgiven him?????
Thanks,
Jenn
I will email again in the morning.
bmac
You know it actually crossed my mind, yesterday, that Sean’s wife is the one “stirring up the pot” around here! It would make sense, as irrational and irate she became when she found out about this site Sean posting here along with his hydro usage. I mean seriously, what kind of person would throw their husband out of the house, threaten divorce and access to their children; if “he didn’t say away from a web site,” which, ironically enough, offered him the support and encouragement he needed to seek treatment and get clean!
From what Sean told me about her, in the past, she seems spiteful, enough to do something like post hateful things and blame others. I could be totally off base here; but I don’t think I am! I pray Sean is doing OK, and that he didn’t relapse under his wife’s pressure! I seriously doubt any of us; will hear from him again. We can all sleep well knowing we did our best for him, and now hope our best was good enough to keep him sober through what is probably the most trying time of his life!
Jenn
PS If you happen to read this Sean; I am truly sorry that your wife found out, especially after you worked SO damn hard, and made SO much progress! You ARE the great husband, and father, that the majority of women only dream about having. Don’t allow your wife to make your feel guilty for your mistake; NO ONE is perfect! The mistake you made, by using hydro, in my humble opinion, was more than compensated for, by being the doting husband can dedicated father you are! Believe it or not, YOU actually got me to pray. . .the non-believer prayed for you. . .that’s how much you touched me, and I am sure plenty of others on this forum! I wish you the best in life. Take care of yourself, my dear friend!
So anyway Synderella how are you doing? I played last night with my eyes closed all night.Incredible.

Bill,
Well since, it’s Friday. . .I’m doing F**KING FANTASTIC! My corporate 8-5 job, feels like a prison sentence to me, with each day that passes, I “X” out yet another day on the calendar!
UGH, I desperately need to find a career that makes me happy. I didn’t spend 6 freaking years in college; to work a job I absolutely loathe! I hate to complain because I know so many others, have it far worse, especially the way the economy and unemployment rate is right now!! It’s not like I’m stuck outside working my ass off, when it’s 110 degrees in the summer, and 20 degrees in the winter, for minimum wage. I have total freedom here, I don’t have to report to anyone because I’m a manager, I have a great office to myself (which BTW, has super speed satellite internet, as if you didn’t know, by my many forum posts, throughout the day ;-) rarely, if ever, have deadline to meet, and I’m receiving a good paycheck (especially considering the amount of work I do) a great health care/insurance plan, 401K and my employer matched my contribution, up to 10%, my training and graduate courses are paid for, and I get to travel to some great places, on the company’s dime, for seminars and conferences! Nevertheless, I HATE MY JOB!
Since I barely graduated a few years ago, I still haven’t been able to figure out exactly what I want to be when I grow up! I am the youngest manager here, (every other manager is old enough to be my mother or father), so I don’t “fit in” or have anything in common with them. We have four, busy-body, complaining, resentful, and mean 60-year-old secretaries, who are nasty and resentful to me,, because I make so much more money than they do. As if it’s my fault they didn’t attend college and forever remained in dead-end-jobs; as a result of it. Like I should feel bad that I worked my ass of to obtain my degree, while I was working, being a fabulous mother, the president of 3 different university business honor societies/organizations, and busting my ass to graduate magna *** laude, not to mention the damn $20,00 grand in student loans I stacked up during my stay. F**king ******* feel the need to remain petty and hostile towards me. They even go so far as keeping track of what time I come into work and how long of a lunch break I take, because I’m management I’m on salary, and don’t clock in and out’ but they are hourly and have to! It’s the whole “power trip” thing; i.e. if I’m late they have something to tattletale on me for! I used to blow it off and think it was kinda funny, but now it just pisses me off and I just wanna snap their necks some days!
Sorry for the rant, I really don’t like complaining, but since you asked “how are you doing” well Bill my friend, you got long version of how I’m doing LOL! I can’t wait to get a job that challenges me, is interesting, makes me happy, and most important utilizes my talent, skills and abilities! It really blows, working for a company, who believes that even if you have great ideas or a more efficient way to do things, they don’t care because their motto is “we’ve always done it this way; we’re too freaking scared to step out of the box;” or actually change ANYTHING!”
UGH, well I believe that was enough bitching for a few months *GRIN*! Is being a Professional Bass Player, your only career, or do you have to work a side job? The reason I’m asking is because I’m a music fanatic and have many friends whom play instruments. I know how when times are good, you can make big bucks, but the flip side is the bad times leave you broke! I always wanted to work in the music industry. My best friend is the morning show guy, on our local rock/alternative music station. We’ve been going to concerts together for over 10 years. Because of my friend’s position, and the wonderful nature of nepotism, I’ve seldom ever had to pay for a concert ticket, and have been extremely blessed to have seen over a HUNDRED shows and have met more than FIFTY bands! I’ve always wanted to work in the music industry. I have a “knack” for picking out bands that are going to explode, I just happen to catch on to them way before the masses. My friend has a Saturday late night hard rock/heavy metal show called the Power Surge. Because I was so good at picking out new talent, he would give me boxes of CD’s the record reps would send him, and tell me “go through them and tell me what’s good to play!” My ideal job would be a Record Label Representative.. . .getting to spot new talent, go to clubs looking to sign new bands, and arranging meet-n-greets, now that’s a job I would do fore FREE! I was actually naive enough, that when I took this job way back when, that I believed as long as the paycheck was fat, I would do just about anything! I quickly learned, no amount of money can make up for unhappiness! You gotta do what you love. I’ve been pounding that into my sons head, pretty much on a daily basis, since I figured it out!
Well I better run, this post has become a freaking novel. If you’d like to exchange emails, here’s my address: ***@****. I’d love to hear more about your music background and the history of your career, when you have time! Take it easy, and have a wonderful weekend!
Sincerely,
Jennyfer
