You mention there is no rehabs,
Is there not any drop-in services that you can use ??
Hey Geo
I was glad to see your post. Sincerely my friend, I feel for you. I don't think there is
anything remotely comparable to the way one feels on the first day of "dragon slaying". Where I live, in the Northwest USA, we got an ever growing populace of
Methadone Clinics, with ever longer lines, but it's not the answer. Anyone who has
done Methadone for a while will tell you that it's harder to kick then Smack. What
you need right now is rest, and nourishment, and I am sure food is not a major
concern right now, but I honestly believe that the sooner one replenishes the
amino acids and endorphins, one gets through the worst of it. Hot baths can be
quite helpful. Just hang in there mate, cause hours turn into days real quick.
You are in my Prayers Geo, YOU CAN DO THIS
Blessings

I've been reading your post's and I'm rooting for ya. Anglescars is right about meth, being harder to kick. But for some of us its the only option.
Going cold turkeys is a bad way to go. I did it in jail, thats when I knew I would need help when I made the choice to get clean.
I've read that, if you can get your hands on calcium and magnesium, take copious amounts then do some lite exercise, just enough to start a sweat, then get in a really hot shower or bath and sweat as much as you can. Make sure you keep your fluid level up (lots & lots of water) this is supposed to help you de-tox quicker.
Motrin, Tylanol or Nuprene (ibuprophine). 800mg at a time is good for cramps. But don't take it that dosage for more than three or four days.
I wish you all the luck in the world. Put as much energy into your recovery that you did chasing the dope, and you'll do fine. Oh yah, eat even if you don't fill like it.

Thanks for all your words it means alot, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel, I found out that I might be able to get perscribed subutex, don't know much about it so I am going to check out the subutex pages to find out more.
I hope It's good, all I want to do is get off this with out going through all this pain, I went an got more dope on sunday, it had to of been the hardest 2 days I have ever detoxed, because I have been smoking a 16th (half garden) a day nearly, my tolerance level must be sky high.
Hopefully this subutex stuff will work, and I can get back to work, people are right about how it catches up will you in the end, I can't hide this no longer, it's so bad I am nearly on the edge of ending it all.
I don,t think I would though I know that no matter how big a problem is it can be sorted some how.
Hope it works out for me, thankyou all for your help and kind words.
