You guys seem like smart people. What you think about dis?
Ive been using opiates off and on for years since the first day ive tried them when i was like 17. Now im 23. Ive been to detox 4 times and quit cold turkey numerous times. Ive had no serious health problems yet (Thank God). I was actually clean from 9/05 up until a few months ago when i decided to start hanging out at clubs again on the weekends. Now as soon as i punch out from work im on a mission to get high and i always have pills on reserve so i dont have to waste any time getting them =D. I know that anybody thats messing with drugs especially dope* is walking some dangerous ground BUT.... if you keep it in moderation you might be successful in keeping your drug use recreational without catching any real bad psychical addiction. I only use on the weekends and think that its not that big of deal because im still healthy and excersise regularly. My post titled "im worried" i made because i think other peoples feedback is very interesting. Ive been drug user since i was like 14 and have seen a few people die as a result of drugs. If you are strong enough and smart enough to handle the drug game it will never be a problem for you. I saw something in a post the other day the person said that "until i can dissassociate taking drugs with plesure i will always want to use drugs". it made me think why be clean and misrable? you know taking drugs is fun and it feels good right? why not just try to control it? people die and suffer from drugs because they lose value in thier life and become careless with them. You only live once.
All I can say is...You are playing with fire! I have lied to myself too many times thinking that I could control it! No way...no how!!!!! Drugs are a very dangerous game and not a gamble I would be willing to take ever again.....God WIlling!!!! I think you are either an addict or not but be careful....addicts are the best liars and manipulators...especially to themselves!

Thats the addiction. Not everyone can control and take drugs for fun. Its not always as easy as a choice. Some of us, well most of us here. Our addictions have taken us to a place where we no longer have that choice. Our disease of addiction makes that choice for us. Alot of us are to the point where using drugs isn't fun anymore. It makes us tired, lazy, withdrawn from others, lack of motivation, financial stress, family problems etc..
If you feel you are at the point where you can take drugs and have a good time and put them down then Congratulations. Most of us wish we could do that. But I know for myself.. I can't I am all or nothing. And again myself.. its not fun anymore..

Sad to say but I blame the doctors and pharmacies.....The Government is the drug lord, Pharmaceutical companies (manufactures, growers etc...) have there salesman that are the drug sellers and the doctors are the drug pushers.
You are still very young! I would take what these ppl are telling you and listen.
Please, you don't have to go any further, LEARN from others experiance.
Theres a 99.9% chance this will only get out of control! Before you know it the drugs will have contol.
I think you know this or you wouldn't even be here, asking ?s and all.
STOP NOW!! KVMJ

your right. pharmaceuticals is probably the biggest money maker. and as time goes on it gets bigger and bigger. if it was up to to all the doctors, governers and pharmiscists everbody in this world would be a patient and they would sit back and collect on it.
i guess its working

There is no such thing, as recreational drugs. There is no such thing as 'playing it safe'. There is no such thing as 'just a little won't hurt'..I'm not in anyway being a hypocrite here, just I thought that myself. If someone like myself, who watched loved ones, become coke heads, meth freaks, pot heads, junkies..could end up like i am now..ITS POSSIBLE FOR ANYONE!..And you can't sit back in your own seat, and take a pill, all the while telling someone else not to. I've done that and guess what, all I'm doing is lying to someone saying..just a little won't hurt you..maybe YOU won't be as bad as some of us..but your a user..and what if someday you combine a pain killer, and enough alcohol, since the hydros help you drink more, you become so wasted and don't realize it, and you then drive and kill someone. Right now I shouldn't even be saying nothing to you, as im not even a 'clean ' person myself. Just know that the statement you made is just about like ...honest politician.
marce- well said....
Nik- you may not like what i say, but you are still very young and you seem to be nieve about drug use. you have been doing them since you were 14yrs old, but that doesnt mean you "really" know ALL about them.
first of all buying drugs off the street in itself is a dangerous game to play. you may be getting them from "friends" but the chain always leads up to a higher more powerfull drug dealer. your playing with your life everytime you score off the street. Pain meds are not meant to be "recreational drugs" they are made for ppl in real, legit pain. they're meant for anyone (especially teenagers) to get high. there are cancer patients and elderly ppl out there who honestly need them for true medical reasons. have you ever asked yourself where your pills come from??? does someone you know have a rx for them and sells them?? if so, why are they selling them? cause they need money to cover other expenses cause they're sick? are they stolen? from a person who needs them or a pharmacy? Prescription drugs arent brought into our cities from other countries like coke or heroin. at some point they came from a pharmacy, so do you even know how your dealer has them to begin with???
the reason i'm taking the time to tell you this is because from your post you seem to think what your doing is harmless, just because you dont feel your addicted to them. that may or may not be true....BUT YOU ARE HARMING SOMEONE ELSE....unless of coarse they are stolen directly from a pharmacy and in that case you stand a good chance at some point of going to jail when someone in your "circle" gets busted and the chips start to fall.
STOP and THINK about where your "weekend" supply for fun comes from, more than likely soemone who is in real, true pain and needs them, but is probably suffering instead while you are getting high and having fun.
i honestly am not trying to be harsh or mean to you. when i was your age i never thought of things the way i do now and i have done pretty much EVERY drug out there (except sticking a needle in me) and ALL drugs come from somewhere. when you stand back and look at the "whole picture" with every drug someone who's very innocent gets hurt. innocent ppl are are shot on accident everyday, sick ppl are stolen from, etc.
Basically what i'm trying to explain to you is that you may not believe your hurting yourself (and that is your own personal choice) but dont think that there isnt anything wrong with having "weekend fun" getting high. because your fun IS HURTING SOMEONE-SOMEWHERE....
i hope you have a good night....
tink :)

yeah you guys are all right and i appreciate all the feedback because it means alot to me. it actually more then anybody has said to me in months, mabye even years... on a post or in person and i dont know you guys at all hahaha. and for the record and scared stiff about driving after i get twisted so the considerate ones dont have to worry too much.
I didn't have any choice in the drug I'm addicted to. I had four surgeries to remove the cancerous tumor embedded in the large bone in my upper arm. The whole bone had to come out and a titanium one put in. An incompenant NP put me on fentanyl pain patches. I have never gotten high on them or abused them. I have gone from 100mcg down to 12mcg. A lot of w/d with each taper. The last one will be the worst. I won't have to worry about cravings when I'm done, but I will sure thank God that He gave me the good sense to leave drugs alone. Do you know how long you're in control of your drug use?? Right up to the time you're NOT.
