cant stop these cravings for oxycontin

[deceasedwithin]

Im a 22 year old female and I have been addicted to oxycontin for 7 months. It was a hidden habit that only me and my bank account new about.  Recently i gained the courage to come off of it.  I was snorting 80-120 mg a day every day, working all week just to support my habit. I am now at day 7 of withdrawing, the first 4 days being the worst. My problem now is completely mental. I have high anxiety and i am craving opiates so badly even though i know i could not physically go through these withdrawals again. Although i wasnt posting on this site during my withdrawals i read the forum every day to help ease my mind. Are there any techniques that help people stay off of this drug? I am not religious so please nothing of that sort. These cravings are very intense and im scared for my life that i will go back to using, if anyone can help me please respond, thank you.

Far Infared Saunas work the best! these are new and there aren't many around but it you have the money the sell them at canadian tire now there $900 I'm selling my truck gonna buy one!

I am in the same boat. I have "successfully" quit many times. If that makes any sense? I got past the worst of it, even made it 2 1/2 months once. They say the cravings can last years! The drug deposits itself in your fatty tissue and stays there till you die!! They say you could still have the craving for oxy years after you've been clean!!Thats why it's so hard to quit! Same with other drugs, even some foods, and tobbaco. I've been doing a tonne of research to find out how to get rid of these cravings, because whats the point of quiting again if I'm never going to feel normal again? I've found it!!!
It's really simple too!! All you have to do is find a sauna and take the vitamin "Niacin" .
What it does is opens up your fatty tissue and releases the toxins that have been building up in your body for your entire life! Then when you go in the sauna for 20 min you sweat it all out. Some people say their sweat comes out BLACK!! EEEEWWW! but if it works it works!
Don't take too much of the vitamin, they say it will build up in your fatty tissue too. Take a little bit every day and go to a sauna as often as you can! I haven't tried it yet, I'm getting into a 21 day program right now. When I get back I'm going to get a membership at the local pool ( they have a sauna) and sit in there for hours every day! I'm determined to get off this shyt for good, and if this works I'll be clean in time for summer! Without this addiction keeping me down I can't even imagine the fun I'll have.
Good luck to all hope this helps!
Oh and here's a rehab program that uses the same treatment. (in case you don't believe me) The program costs $16,000.00 for a six week program!!!! but you can do it yourself!

yes the generic is cut with a substance that almost gels it up and you cant snort it smoothly like a real OC. its put in it on purpose to ward people from snorting it i was getting a much more intense high from the real oxys

[rosebud66]

i sther really a difference between oxycodone generic and oxycontin genuine

[deceasedwithin]

instant high and more intense i only was buying genuine 80s no generics just sucked off the coating, we even used hose clamps to make it a fine powder

[rosebud66]

why did you snort vs. just taking them and chewing?

[deceasedwithin]

im on day 7 of not doing it so yes the main withdrawal symptoms are gone.. now its just lingering anxiety and depression

[spacecadette]

so wait you are currently withdrawing or have already withdrawn?

[deceasedwithin]

oh man if i only had suboxone during the first few days, i didnt have the extra $200 to get the pills cause i had wasted all my money on oxy. how ironic haha

[worried878]

I am just so happy for you.....I could tell how bad u wanted to quit....just gets better and better!

[phipps68]

I am trying I still got day 5 ahead of me!!!! Doin it with very little suboxone too....Last night was bad I threw the remote at my wall and made a hole.....Just a small one though!

[worried878]

so cool...did not know u had totally quit!  That is so great!

[phipps68]

neither can I dude!  I am on day four on life without 80"s....And all i wanna do is snort a bean.It's not so much the high that i miss as it is the ritual !!!!!...For some odd reason I like snorting pills...Thank god I hated cocaine!

im thinking about long term depression medication but the thing is i HATE HATE HATE being dependent on pills, but maybe that is my only hope i have very dark thoughts, unless im on oxy of course then i love life more than anything but i watch it go down the drain at the same time....

[deceasedwithin]

also this is kinda funny but i stocked up on PEDIALITE for children it is the best thing to restore your bodys electrolytes that you will lose while being sick and it will help you recover i strongly recommend drinking this it is in the baby section

[addictedme]

lets see,,your not religous so mark that off. You do say your scared for your life,,,are there any other things you arent willing to try. Not to sound curt but recovery is a lifelong process so you need to find something thats comfortable to you,,,,you know,,,to save your life

[deceasedwithin]
