hey everyone, well today is 8 months off all opiates.
i still check the boards but dont go online as much as i used to, once your off opiates (which arent your friend) you make real ones again. no more hermit crab. it can be done. im proof. i was in deep, 7 years of heavy oxy use, 600-700mg per day, honestly im surprised im alive. i remember the nights nodding off hard, just so out of it, also once in awhile with benzos. so easily could have stopped breathing in the middle of the night. 12/7/11 is when i decided i was sick of wasting my life and merely existing cuz i sure as heck wasnt livin. im glad i lived up to my promise of never giving up on myself as i knew i had it in me to knock this crap out. for all those struggling, you have it in you as well
take care,
ice

Icehouse,
You are a true inspiration for people like me. Congrats on your success! You show us all who are struggling that freedom is possible. Thank you for checking in from time to time and for sharing your story!
Best to you!

9 months opiate free. im tellin ya'll, give that crap up. its so worth it. when your using your losing and not living life. i just recently met a girlfriend and she is out of this world, we're head over heels over one antoher, better than any oxy high ive ever had. if i was still on the pills, i never would have met her. if you keep using, you will never really live, you'll just exist. not much fun is it? but its the truth. best wishes, believe me, i've been there done that, so if anyone can relate its me.
take care,
ice

getting ready for bed, but decided to check in. Reach you've helped me out alot, as well as so many others many times. you pulled me up when i was down, but now i happily walk aside you on the other side of the fence, aka, reality! i'll be around to check in, just not as often. ive noticed my lifes gotten ALOT more busy in a good way now that im sober, im doing things, i've gone from existing to living life.
every one who said it was worth it, well they were right, best of luck, and never give up
