An "I just entered one of the gates of hell" thread?

[DreamerOnTheRun (OP)]

Everybody deals with drug use differently, withdrawals are no exception.  Some people try not to think about it at all let alone converse about it, while they're actually going through it at least.  Some people, like me, like to watch/read interesting shit about my drugs of choice and obviously things that can provide some relief, any relief.  Maybe it's a stupid idea, maybe I'm just weird, but I can see definite benefits from having a stickied/permanent "I'm going through some rough shit right now" thread where anybody in the depths of withdrawal can go and just bitch/vent, ask for specific advice, talk about their symptoms that are the worst, mention what you last did, etc.  Any and everything if for no other reason to distract that person for even a couple minutes.  Anyway, I just see it a logical way to prevent people from starting threads about their struggle in the moment when we could just talk about it collectively.

Go for it.  You don't have to ask permission to make a thread.  I can even change the title on this thread if you want. It can be: "I just entered the gates of Hell." and this can be that thread.


I can certainly commiserate with the occasional 2 whole hours until my pharmacy opens ?!?

Oh yeah, shit man that's a good idea for a thread. Hope I never have to use it myself though. But that's just not realistic. I will be sick at some point from W/D. Not looking forward to it nor am I relishing the idea.

I sometimes take a hot bath when I'm dopesick and there's not relief in site or even way out on the horizon.

Loperamide, I've found, enables me to sleep pretty well. It makes me drowsy.

I'm the opposite. When I'm jonesing I don't want to hear or see ANYTHING opiate related. It just gets me super agitated and upset.

I'm always rather high strung, I'm one of those users that have actually worked myself up to the point of vomiting when on the way down to cop after a long struggle to find funds. I actually get sicker once I know I'm going to be able to use soon. If I know I'm fucked and up shit's creek I can come to terms with that (somewhat).

@Nice, i start to feel well ... when i was late for the clinic then i would start to panic, feel lousy etc. but as soon as i walked in the door there was a marked change.

it's a head trip.

@Nice yea, it's gotta be a Pavlovian thing, I get it too..but I start sneezing a lot and gagging a lot while it smoke otw to and from copping, when I usually just ache and yawn the most when waiting for something to happen.
