This is my first day coming of heroin, and I am feeling the pain, have been smoking quite a bit lately so it's time to knock it on the head, is there any-1 else feeling the same. Or can give me some help or advice
are you goin cold turkey? ive been clean from heroin for 2 years now and i did it by getting a meth script, i switched from meth to subutex about 6 months ago and im now still stable on subutex. i wish now i had gone straight on to subutex. i think its a brilliant drug, i feel more allert and i dont even think of using on top of it because it blocks out the effects of herion. if your really serious about getting clean i would recommed seeing your doctor or drugs worker about subutex. i hope it works out for you x
Hi Rac
Yes I am going cold turky in my house my mum, thinks I have the flu, where I live there is no heroin so no one no's. I don't want to go to the doc,s because I am scared of losing my job. But I no some who had meth and vally's from there doc and where I live they won't give nothing.
Been at this for 4 years, went cold turky about 6 times but this time it's for good, I had 2 drive 200 mile to get it 2 are 3 times a week.
Am in so much pain a could jump of my roof, but I won't do that, it's the end of my first day, and the start of my 2nd sleepless night.
I was buying meth but the girl I bought it of also 200 mile away, got her script took off her. But have never heard of the tablets you are on.
might try and buy them of the net.
Love Geoff
God give me strengh

hi geo I have gone cold turkey a few times and the only advice I can give you if thats the way your having to do it, what I found helped ease the pain a and aches a bit having a hot bath and soaking for a while its also good if your feeling cold.the only thing is you dont wanna get back out. I dont know if you'll feel up to it but honestly try your hardest coz it does help and relaxes you.
Also about being worried about going for medication couldn't you say you were in pain for something else and ask for co-codamol or dihydrocodiene I know its not much but it will help a bit especially dihydrocodiene.even if it helps your temp' it'll be better than nothing at all.drink plenty of water and try and eat coz that really 'does' help even though you might not feel that at first. I know what your going through and I have loads of sympathy towards you (its hard) but keep it up coz trust me it really is worth it. I've only being clean 2 months now but things are starting to fall into place already. all the luck in the world mate its worth it in the end and remember "DO IT FOR YOURSELF" because you deserve a "LIFE". xxx xxx

hiya sorry me back again I wont be as long this time? I've just noticed rach saying about subutex, yeah they are the best thing to try and if you've gone a couple of days now they'll be even better. If you wanna know more about them or some help with them call this no. its a drug centre (01947) 601601 or "I could" help you with "them!" I will come back here thursday 24th at 3:30pm and if you leave a message for me I'll get in touch with you or talk over these messages. ok talk 2morro maybe good luck again! xxx
Thanks for those words becky, I was feeling great for a while, but now I am feeling really sore, my arms are getting it the most at the min. Good to here that you have been clean for 2 months every time I down this I soon as I was feeling better I would go and get more.
I done this 3 times the longest being clean was about 2 weeks, I kept convinceing myself one burn won't hurt, but it did it put me right back to square 1,
I live in N.Ireland and the doctors here are tight, been trying to get valium on a script for years, you can't get meth here, so a don't know about subs.
It's 01:15 in the morn and am wide awake, it's my 2nd full night so at half 5 in the morning will be the start of my 3rd day.
Am in a bad way, all the drug users I met could not believe that I was on gear, because I always looked my best, but you want to see the nick of me now, pure white and av lossed about 2 stone, my mum thinks I have the flu, little does she no.
Have been freezing for ages but am scare to get in the bath, well getting out is the problem.
Talk to you tomorrow.

hiya geoff sorry your feeling so bad Im still up too. I dont sleep very good anyway so i'm still up gonna try in 5-10 mins though. I know what youmean about putting your self back but if you were gonna do it once a week you'd have to have being off it for at least 1 month so dont convince yourself you'll be alright. you know the score. I'll be up for a little time longer and see if you write back if not I'll talk to you 2morro. take care mate xxx
3 whole days way haaaaay nearly their mate
feeling alot better today, but a don't know how long it will last. Yes day 3 am past the half way mark, and am starting to feel like a will soon be at the finish line.
At the minute, I am having really bad cravings, am not feeling to bad, but the feeling in my stomach, telling me that I need gear is very hard to control. it's mad because just after I done this in the past and I went straight back on the gear.
A could never figure out way I went through the pain, and then scoreing, I used to be so let down, when I new I was back to the start, addicted once again, I would think all that for nothing.
Sort of slept between 2 and 6 last night it was a rocky 1 but I was glad to see this morning.

Hi Geo,
Have been reading your posts and jusy wanted to say well done on being clean for 3 days. My hubby went cold turkey just like you with nothing and i saw the pain he was in. He also felt that really hot baths helped (i had to help him out). He also tried deep heat cream on his legs for the muscle cramps but not on his arms as the skin was broken and it can hurt like hell.
He like you had done the hard painful part many times but day 4 or 5 he would run to score, this time he stayed strong and is now 3 months clean. If over the next couple of days you start craving PLEASE talk to someone it can help i promise.
My thoughts are with you
Take care

hey geo. read some of ur threads. i think it makes it even harder to deal cuz no one knows u do it. no one knows i do it. they think i take pills and drink too much. ive hidden a slight cocaine problem for 5 or 6 years now. i am 28 years old. i can readily get any drug i want. but the heroin, i liked it so much it kinda took over pretty quick and no one knows. NO ONE. (except my "stepsister" who is still using and im done associating with her.) i hopw u are doing better. ive been off for almost 4 days. i want to tell my boyfriend, i want to tell everyone who knows ive been f*******g up. but i feel ashamed. i feel like using. i feel like dying. then all of a sudden i feel happy and motivated. its not ruining my life, but its making me feel like a weak uncontrollable person. i can SO relate to no one knowing, and i dont know if that makes it better or worse. u can write me anytime tho. advice to us all, hang in there.
Well I sure you all guessed, that I screwed that up the last time, 3 days the hardest part was almost over, so now I am going to do. This is the last.
Geo,
I did cold turkey 5 or 6 times over the last 6 years each time it gets a little worse. last time i did it was march 21rst after about 3and a half days i went to the hospital for detox then checked myself in rehab for 21 days and am still clean.its hard but worth it.thats my suggestion to you.
Sincerly Bruce B recovering addict.
the reason i suggest going through it on your own for a few days is
to think about the pain when your sobor it helps keep you clean.

I wish I could, but there is no where here that is a drug rehab centre, it's all for alcohol, I sent my girlfriend in, when I first found out she was on it, and she would of been safer taking the pain at home, that's how bad it is, an thats why I would never do it, a wish i lived in scotland or england, heroin is a new drug here and it's not easy to get, they say that there are only 1000 addicts here but there are alot more than that.
I have throught about moving to scotland and getting help, but that would mean heroin would be alot more easerly obtain.
I have been on heroin for about 5 years now, and I have went cold turkey about 6 times or so and you are right, it's gets harder each time. And each time I lasted a week, I was fine and I convinced myself 1 bag won't hurt, and bang right back on it.
I think it so hard because you just want to feel normal and go and get a good nights sleep, and going back on the gear was always my answer.
