After effects of opiates.

May 21, 2008 02:49PM - 9 comments

If I only would have known, what these pills could do to you.
They pull the very life out of you.
They destroy from the inside out.
When you quit, they taunt you, it seems, forever.
They leave a lingering depression.
Oh, sometimes it leaves, but then it attacks in full force.
Is there an easy fix? Is there a fix at all?
I think not, but perhaps, time will heal it.

I feel ya... That fear of the physical withdrawals and going through it, you think it's thr worst... And once it's gone, the enevitable mental addiction erks you... I never ever thought after using drugs recreationally for so long, that after marriage and a child I would be truely "addicted" to something... Mentally addicted. I always thought I was stronger than that. I don't NEED my vikes. I WANT them. It's torchure. And I hate to say it, but you're over 4 months clean and you still want them; it's very discouraging!!! :(

Love your pictures by the way.

that is so true.  I read that as a poem about being addicted to pills, Maybe I am wrong in taking it that way.  But it is all so true, you see them on tv and you want them but you hate them, you hear about someone who got hurt or a surgery and all you can think about it, hhhmmmm wonder what they got, wish I had them.  Those sorry little suckers torment you forever, I am not sure if it is because our brains never forget something that makes us high...go figure I can't remember to turn off a light and can't forget that feeling of taking those things.  I liked what you wrote a lot.  People don't realize that we tend to "romance" the drugs for weeks, months and years in our minds.

Props to you for that poem. I can see myself inside it. Does the depression get better? What helps at the beginning?

Time and amino acids like SamE do help, so does a support system.
