Great talk bro. I’m an addict, and always will be. It’s my personality type. I’m not an active addict right now. My recovery is in the beginning stage, and my poison is meth (although I’ll do anything) I just blinked away 7 years of my life. I have nothing but a camper and live in the woods now. Clarity gets better by the day. And I’m hopeful to reclaim my life moving forward. And yes… smoking herb is needed right now, fir this to move in a good direction right now. Keep it up bro!!!
Praying for you bro. Some of my best mates are former meth addicts. You'll be back to your former self a little each day. I'm a recovering addict myself and sleep in my car. Just think of each day as paying my karmic debt so I don't get down on it. I'm just grateful to have a roof over my head.
I saw a news headline a few days ago they are now making it illegal to sleep on the subway system in NYC 😢 my heart sank when I heard this. I don't think I would have thought about it twice if it wasn't for your homeless stories. Thanks for making me more aware of the plight of the homelessness.
I thought it was already illegal and had been illegal? I remember some of Joey's old stories when the channel first started (at least when he first hit my algorithm) in like 2020 maybe, where he was uploading the "Why I Was Homeless" series, saying that some of the first places he tried to sleep were GCS and on the train, but cops would go through and bust people and rush em away from central station and the train.
@@KarmicSlayereither way thank you for having a heart for the homeless people. I was addicted to heroin for 18 years because of going through 8 surgeries and getting loads of Oxycontin in early 2000s. I used to think that addiction was just people that had a weak mentality. Before I became addicted dogs in when I was a firefighter with 3 years and the fire department building a career had gone to six different countries I had an amazing life and then everything came crashing down. Addiction especially to illegal drugs is so horrible and it is almost undescribable. The worst thing about being addicted to illegal drugs is it ostracized as you from society like Joey says you've got to wait for people on the black market you've got to buy stuff at a horribly inflated raids and it takes you out of society you will eventually can't work you are ostracized from any kind of normal society. Where is I know many many people that are addicted to alcohol that as long as they can work they're fine and they just keep going. Very fortunate I have two years off heroin and got off all the pharmaceutical opiates also and have been off those since the end of last September. Pharmaceutical opiates were just as hard to get off of and it is insane how horrible I still feel energy-wise but I am going to college now and working part time. Thankfully my doctor gave me a blood test and found out that my testosterone levels were incredibly low. Just started trt last week. Out of over 150 people I use drugs with in the last 20 years only six of them are still alive besides me. Thankfully I haven't had a craving for heroin in almost 2 years. Definitely one of the reasons why I'm rooting for Joey and appreciate him as a person. God bless you 🙏
I’m a recovered alcoholic I do A.A. it’s not for everyone but it’s my thing. I love all your videos and watch every time one comes out. I even subscribed to your channel it’s like a couple bucks a month but I’m glad to support you. Loved this video hope you keep pumping them out my friend!!
On this shit at the moment, trying to quit for the 10,000th time it feels like. Trying to quit while having to work everyday is a terrible revolving door I can relate to that. Thanks for the upload Joey!
I was on heroin and Fentanyl for 20 years. Will work for me was getting on methadone for 2 years and keeping my dose extremely low and getting down lower and lower until I made the switch to sublocade. Last time I used it was the end of last September of last year. If you have insurance there are ways and people that will help you but just don't get stuck in the system and don't get stuck on that stuff it's a lot better in the street stuff if you're going to be on something though. Unfortunately numerous of my friends that are still addicted they don't want to put in the time I don't blame them they just want to get off really quickly and want someone that gets them off without probably realizing that they might have to put in years of work to get off. Now if they can do it in a week God bless them that's amazing but most people that have been on for years and years are going to take a little while to get off also. God bless you
Guys, feed Joey some motivation, he's creating a rut. There was a time we were on the open plains, with our six shooter on our hip, talkin about how we could trick Cornwall and the O'Driscolls, camping under the stars, waiting for the right time to make our move with Mary-Beth. We are now, whittled back to two tropes: a video about getting off heroin, or another video about how cold New York gets in the winter. Show us some sights, Joey. I'm getting stir crazy in this parking lot, Dutch.
Your videos have been helping me stay sober. I relate to a lot of the things you're saying. Been clean since thanksgiving off fet and iso. :D What worked for me was during the transition was waiting 24 hours. After 3 days i was finally feeling better. This day I'm finally feeling normal and this is the normal feeling i was craving for so many years. Was doing opiates for 6 years and after id say 4 years i stopped getting high to get high and got high to just feel normal. Its almost surreal how the normal feeling I feel today is what i was craving so bad for so long.
One of the first steps is , move, or stay away from other people who do opiates ,if you can. I've been sober 3 and a half years from painkillers .. Sometimes I would smoke black also..I lost all contact with people from the past,and i moved across town to a nice neighborhood. .I don't know where 2 get any of that crap ,and I'm not looking ..
Opiates and for any addiction.remeber these 3 things you have to cut off strictly People , places , things... I cut off all my heroine and meth dope guys ...I'm lonely alone depressed sometimes...if you meet them you will relapse for sure. This path one have to walk alone And spend the lonely nights alone Just with God and you ... That's how will is done...
Love the video bro!!!! I relate to your words on ‘invisible forces conspiring for the betterment of our situation, when we making the right moves’! I definitely agree 🙏🤘
You're exactly right about everything Joey,& u tell a good story bro. I did opiates 35 yrs, mostly oxygen & perc. Did H maybe 40 times when I couldn't get pills. I'm older than u ,after I quit ops I quit cigarettes & weed,it just ran its course. You don't want to do more subs than u need,I'm on about 6mg now. Was on methadone twice in early 2000s. They're all hard to get off about equally for me. Trouble was I was also doing Xanax too. So I quit it all by weaning myself off a little at a time. Now everything is falling into place,had my best yr ever. I'm over in Brandon/Seffner area.
TAPOR IS KEY!!! It’s really mental. Your brain is constantly trying to trick you back until your brain heals it will try to trick you. It’s not but basically it’s a really bad hangover. Once I figured out that it was just a hangover it helped me out a lot mentally. Stay consistent! Keep trying! You will eventually get it it. If you slip no big deal just start over as soon as you can. Even if it’s 6 months later or a year later just keep trying. You get better at being sober the more you try. Consistency will get you sober. It won’t happen over night. It might take years. So what as long as you keep trying you will get there
i agree with everything you were saying throughout but especially towards the end. the age restriction thing does suck but dont let that deter you from being yourself and posting the content you feel is important you want to create. ♥
Hey Joey. Love your channel you have been an inspiration to me for the last 2-3 years and its great to see all the new subs you are getting recently. You deserve to be big bro...Peace!
Loving the content been on subs for nearly 10 years my job is physically demanding and I got a very very addicting personality to anything and everything it takes some dedication I’m trying stay positive hopping in strong enough to wing off someday much love and respect 🙏
@TaipanEnigmaagreed. At the very least you should consider tapering bro. I’ve been on them for 4 years but about a year ago I started tapering down from 16mg a day to about 4mg a day. I feel a million times better and am close to being done with it altogether
Great video joey 2 and half days off fent. 3rd time going to the clinic feels beyond words! Thanks for the great video I hope I get right with myself and take this time serious! And u help many watching these videos! Thanks God Bless 🙏
It really depends on what amount works for you. I use 24mg of subutex. They give me a prescription for 30 days. Im in alot of pain due to a bone disease. That what drove me to use herione after being on pain killers for 10 yrs. Now my life is fairly normal still in some pain but im grateful for everyday. Your right about everything falling into place once you start putting your life back together. Great talk brother
I been clean from herion for 5 years thanks to methadone im now at 1mg methadone tapering off slowly its the best thing I ever did in life was get clean. its worth it when I started methadone I was stable at 60mg for 3 years then started my taper.
I’ve been sober off hardcore opiate/fentanyl coming up on a year now. Listening to your words reminds me about how lucky I am to be out of that physical prison that I was in for six years straight. I’ve experienced precipitated withdrawal twice and honestly I almost went insane from that feeling. Also props for actually going to work that day! 😂 I definitely wouldn’t have.
One thing I will add.i was not getting out of heroine.hell life I took the methadone route and I succeeded but I think I lost my mind I'm not the person I used to be Medication of these types fucks a person For methadone side effects I heard It permanently fucks up the brain Yet it helped me
❤️🔥 just showing love.. winter is here, come on springgggg.. but for now we stock up ❤ @joey just release your pants brother, we loooove long form vids! Kindly ryger
Can relate heavily with you🎉 5 years clean got off in 2019🎉 I was a heavy IV user for 10 years.. west side of Chicago was my home away from home. You speak the truth! Love your content! Anyone can get off you just have to want it!!!!
Joey....just wondering - how did you get the scar on your face? Sixth time I asked, but no reply. I also made sure to ask in the 30 minutes after the video was uploaded. Waited all week for a new video so I could ask within the first 30. Please respond.
Withdrawal actually absolutely can kill you from opiates. There are several cases in the past of people with complications depending how youre wired and how much damage youve done to yourself. Love the videos joey! Not referencing anything in particular in the video, just like people to be informed!
This subject is what got me to sub to you. Saw an older video of yours. I had to get on Suboxone to better my situation. By the way, I'm just south of you over the skyway. Manatee county
Cold turkey can also be a really good way to stop.. because the hell that you went through to get off makes you think twice about ever doing it again... Because you're going to have to try to get off it again...😊.. it can depend on the person also.
Hello friend! ❤ Wait till the imidiate surgery pain is over. Maybe talk to a paindoctor about getting plan, and take it slow.. -What are you on and what dose, if i may ask? Kindly ryger
what do you have to say to people that feel like their only reason to live is getting high, or feel like they have no purpose in life and are suicidal. it seems like a lot of your drive to get sober was to live your life freely and be able to pursue your “dreams” more, and that only works for people who have dreams and want the freedom
Well done! Were you getting the subs off your friends etc without a script? 20 mg seems excessive from the clinic....... I think it'll be to block fentanyl since its so strong compared to normal H
It All depends on your body. I'm on subutex, using it for the past 3 yrs. It actually helps with the pain I deal with. Since I can't take pain killers this works incredible for pain. I take 24mg. 3 a day 1 every 8 hrs. It works really good
Your advice is very good! It's all about the dose if you want to dabble in substances. Your mind tells you I'm only going to do a little bit but that never happens lol. Addiction gets to be a pain in the ass you get tired of it. For me I just smoke my weed - it's legal here. That has helped me more than anything. It's actually medicine for me helps with a lot things I don't consider it a "drug". I've heard that they kick you out of AA/NA if you smoke weed. They are wrong about that. I think the failure rate of 12 steps programs is high they need to rethink this.
Also I agree with the it’s like waking up from a dream, I remember the 2nd time I kicked I consulted a doctor and they prescribed suboxone films, they said wait 48hrs before I take it, I made it to 44hrs before I was in bed squirming, sweating, bones twisting, heart beating out my chest and I couldn’t take it I said this is it im high enough on the COWS scale and I dissolved a film under my tongue. 15 minutes later everything stopped I felt a relief like it’s finally over, I took a deep breath and my sense of smell returned, I listened to the birds chirping and the relief was something else, I wasn’t chained to this drug anymore. But like you said after a couple months you think only 10 dollars and I’ll be super high and you tell yourself you’ll only use this one time, or you think you’ll be able to control it this time and keep your tolerance low. There is no controlling it! The outcome will always be the same, you’ll be sucked in the same cycle every time that 1 day will turn into 6 months… it’s not worth it
same bro. do you take the powder or capsules? i just eat the powder and wash with water. i eat probably 20+ grams a day. but better than suboxone and shit.
Man I know people who do like 50 a day I never got that bad I would do like 12 or 14 a day and then I would flip flop from kratom to fett and then I finally went into a methadone clinic been clean for two years but I still take methadone
you hit nail on the head its about 5-days to get over acute withdrawal 3 day is the worst , also when you ready to quit ideally , if you are taking oxycontin switch to the Instant release formulation ,try to step down 5--10 Mg every 2-Weeks. The time release with stay in system for 14-plus days , Instant release is 5- Days , so withdrawal is much more protracted or long lasting if you're taking oxycontin time release formulation, VS Oxycodone IR or Instant Release. I weaned down to 40-MG and jumped ship, it was not real bad little diarrhea , mild stomach cramps day -3 was the worst , day 5- it was over , even afternoon of day for was not bad. SO try to wean as low as you can ideally. Buy some kratom do it for up to 10-Days then stop so you will not get addicted to it. It helps withdrawal by 50--60 % better
Yes i know what you are talking about!! Without going into a long story...my husbands dr. Was nit only recklessly over prescribing but, a few of his patients passed away under his care . The state took him to court and he lost his license and practice everything! 1 year later he passed away.. It honestly should be a crime what these Drs do to people.. My husband quit pain pills and Xanax cold turkey... He has always been a strong willed person anyway as he is a disabled combat veteran... Good for you that you did it as well...pat yourself on the back ...not everybody can do it. Thought I would share my story Stay safe Take Care
15 year iv and meth and heroine user here, havent watched the video. But the first step is to be truly ready to stop and do what it takes to build a life without drugs. That may mean being lonely as f for a couple years while your in the slums grinding to have something. Drugs give you a fake social life. But besides that, if your ready its how. 3 options, MAT, cold turkey, or assisted cold turkey i would call it. The best imo is assisted cold turkey, meaning tapering off or if your on heroine taking suboxone for a week then tapering off that multiple ways to do it. Cold turkey your putting yourself through unneeded pain and are likely to relapse because of it. This isnt 2006 there are way more options to getting off dope today.
Sorry I asked that question to soon before you mentioned you don’t have any experience with methadone. I wouldn’t recommend it for anyone. Most people get it for free and you just live in this comfortable agony forever most people are too scared to even consider getting off of it . I wish I went the suboxone route
That is amazing, how much that is. In germany, Dr.stop at 120mg. Most ypu can get. You'll have to taper down to at least 30 , is my experience, to do it cold.
@@NathanMcCabe-tc2odyou still can. You can switch but u have to wait a few days to get the methadone out of your system. Subutex or suboxone is way better imo. I get a script every month from the clinic n have it filled. I don't have to go to the clinic everyday just once a month for my script. Super grateful for that.
kratom and 7oh keeps me going at this point. Only problem is your right Im just existing, not following my goals. Between that and the money my time is almost up. Also its way harder to switch from fet to subs. (dont take subs from fet goto a detox or get methadone for detox) clonidine helps for the first month of sobriety.
I have had precipitated withdrawal, everyone is different but some people can take suboxone 12 hours after heroine and some have to wait days. It was terrible, and instant. Mine luckily only lasted about 5 hours
Subs are a life saver!! When clean, dopamin, serotonin and test come back up.. and that make a mental change because biology.. Find a hobby, socialize and keep your sleep and food healthy! Will help alot Remember time is your friend..
Precipitated withdrawals. Fun times I got to experience twice. Nothing quite like speed running withdrawals. I forget how many subs I had to take the first time to get rid of them. I thought I was gonna rip every muscle in my legs and back stretching or tensing up trying to relieve the aches or rest leg syndrome feeling. I was the same way quitting cold turkey. Stay sober for a little while then usually just switched to meth until going back to opiates. Had to get on sublocade to actually stop.
Step #1 is ( think) @12:10--"the future will take care of itself." These content creators need to understand that non-subs click because the title, wtf.
On point. I remember when ppl in denial would say subs didn't get them high. But on a serious tip.. has anyone ever told u that u look like sid from ice age?
Snorting is also a addict thing to do, just use it sublingual.. otherwise keeping yourself in the user brain loo All the best to anyone ready to get better ❤️🔥💪🤘👍🥰
the fentanyl on the streets now is a whole lot different than heroin. lately when guys go cold turkey they seizure and end up in the hospital. the benzos and tranq and w.e else the cuttin it with is making withdrawl absolute hell even when taking methadone or subs. go glad im out of that lifestyle
only time I would snort is if I have a very low supply of subs. Like when I was in Europe over the summer. You can def get by with less by snorting. However it's barely worth the difference if I have a script I just sublingual dose.
Subutex works for that. That's what I take. 24 MG. Without that I wd be in real trouble. Have a bone disease n have fractured multiple bones. Without meds I can barely walk upright. Subutex or suboxone works for pain PLUS you can get a prescription for them which means you don't have to go to a clinic everyday to get medication. That is a blessing in itself
Iv switched from methadone to espranor . it’s been a 2 month and I’m still feeling withdrawn , feeling ill on them , something not right, feel highly sedated. Nausea . Energy drained , depression . Can’t get nothing done, just holds you back.feel like i v made mistake because it’s just another habit il need to kick. .honestly the best thing I should have done is cold turkey . Or cold turkey on the dope.
Hey , i am 57 , was one heroin , metadon , ketogan , from was 14 years old , born as i Benso junki , when i was 50 i stop, clean now for 7 year , all can stop , but you will miss your friend Heroin forever
Joey, first of all thanks for everything you are providing to us. Secondly I've been on cocaine and gambling for the past 3 years(since my divorce) everytime I stop and do chalestenics and make money sooner rather than later I find myself on cocaine and in the casino. Every plucking time. I know where it leads I know but still doing it. What can I do to become like you and whach the sky and go: "hah it's been a year without cocaine and gambling"
Try reading this book called " As a man thinkth by James Allen. It changed my life it taught me how my thoughts are connected to EVERYTHING ! It's on RUclips either in audio or text. I like reading the book I have so many passages hi lighted. Audio books don't give me the same experience as the book in my hands. It's a short book but powerful info. It's what literally opened my eyes to a new understanding of what is going on with my life.
I love how real you are, no BS! Stay clean you handsome devil!!!!! Love from Ontario, Canada!
I’m not addicted to anything and never have but I love listening to your words, keep up this productive work you do❤️❤️❤️❤️

Great talk bro. I’m an addict, and always will be. It’s my personality type. I’m not an active addict right now. My recovery is in the beginning stage, and my poison is meth (although I’ll do anything)
I just blinked away 7 years of my life. I have nothing but a camper and live in the woods now.
Clarity gets better by the day. And I’m hopeful to reclaim my life moving forward.
And yes… smoking herb is needed right now, fir this to move in a good direction right now.

Subs are just morphine with mostly thiebane companies used to profit of addicts . They even bred a poppy with mostly thiebane

Your right about everything falling into place once you start putting your life back together. Great talk brother
I been clean from herion for 5 years thanks to methadone im now at 1mg methadone tapering off slowly its the best thing I ever did in life was get clean. its worth it when I started methadone I was stable at 60mg for 3 years then started my taper.
I'm in the same boat been on methadone for a few years, I'm to the point where I'm ready to kick methadone! Good luck to you my brother safe journey 🙏
I’ve been sober off hardcore opiate/fentanyl coming up on a year now. Listening to your words reminds me about how lucky I am to be out of that physical prison that I was in for six years straight. I’ve experienced precipitated withdrawal twice and honestly I almost went insane from that feeling. Also props for actually going to work that day! 😂 I definitely wouldn’t have.
You don't know what insane is till you've had benzo withdrawal. I'm 3 1/2 years clean and still in withdrawal. Yeah
One thing I will add.i was not getting out of heroine.hell life
I took the methadone route and
I succeeded but I think
I lost my mind
I'm not the person I used to be
Medication of these types fucks a person
For methadone side effects I heard
It permanently fucks up the brain
Yet it helped me
god blesssssssss all of uuuuuuuu
❤️🔥 just showing love.. winter is here, come on springgggg.. but for now we stock up ❤
@joey just release your pants brother, we loooove long form vids!
Kindly ryger
Thank you i really needed to hear this. 😊❤
Can relate heavily with you🎉 5 years clean got off in 2019🎉 I was a heavy IV user for 10 years.. west side of Chicago was my home away from home. You speak the truth! Love your content! Anyone can get off you just have to want it!!!!
Just here waiting for your response since your video came out 2 mins ago and ill be in top 30 comments. Longtime supporter. Cheers ma man
Here it is 😂😂
I appreciate you
Great video as i try to detox for the 1000 time, thanks as allways Joey!!
Joey....just wondering - how did you get the scar on your face? Sixth time I asked, but no reply. I also made sure to ask in the 30 minutes after the video was uploaded. Waited all week for a new video so I could ask within the first 30. Please respond.
Upvoting and replying for visibility, I wanna know too lol.
If you watch all his videos he tells the scar story
@@kimbrojohnson9017so? how’d it happen!
Accident as a kid. Fell on a ripped coffee can. That's what I heard. I remember very little of the actual experience.
First 30 comments not minutes
buccally (between the lip and your gums) is also a great absorption method for most any oral medication.
Glad you’re off that shit, and even more glad to be a part of your Patreon!
Withdrawal actually absolutely can kill you from opiates. There are several cases in the past of people with complications depending how youre wired and how much damage youve done to yourself. Love the videos joey! Not referencing anything in particular in the video, just like people to be informed!
Prob cn with weak heart. And organs
1 month clean off fet. Feels surreal
Takes longer than a month to detox off fetty
Not for everyone. Specially if you ain doing it like that everyday. 🎉
great video, you are very good at giving lectures
Love the Derry shirt, Joey. Hope your 2025 is off to a great start.
Appreciate the words of wisdom
I love Skyrim and Herb
ty for speaking on this brother
This subject is what got me to sub to you. Saw an older video of yours. I had to get on Suboxone to better my situation. By the way, I'm just south of you over the skyway. Manatee county
Cold turkey can also be a really good way to stop.. because the hell that you went through to get off makes you think twice about ever doing it again... Because you're going to have to try to get off it again...😊.. it can depend on the person also.
such a beautiful tale of addiction
Nice video, how long did it take you to grow your hair that long looks cool 😎.
Like 10 years but it doesn't grow unless I cut the tips
Just had my 4th neck surgery and want to get off the meds really bad. So hard to do because of the pain I'm in!!!
Hello friend! ❤
Wait till the imidiate surgery pain is over. Maybe talk to a paindoctor about getting plan, and take it slow..
-What are you on and what dose, if i may ask?
Kindly ryger
Bennies botanical kratom online cheap. 00 size capsules.
Domt feel bad using pain meds for pain. Just focus on stretching eating healthy and healthy. Then worry how to get off
what do you have to say to people that feel like their only reason to live is getting high, or feel like they have no purpose in life and are suicidal. it seems like a lot of your drive to get sober was to live your life freely and be able to pursue your “dreams” more, and that only works for people who have dreams and want the freedom
Yo Joey do a prediction for 2025 video like you did for last year
Well done! Were you getting the subs off your friends etc without a script? 20 mg seems excessive from the clinic....... I think it'll be to block fentanyl since its so strong compared to normal H
It All depends on your body. I'm on subutex, using it for the past 3 yrs. It actually helps with the pain I deal with. Since I can't take pain killers this works incredible for pain. I take 24mg. 3 a day 1 every 8 hrs. It works really good
Been hooked on tramadol for 6 years, i used 2-3x per week. Its time to stop this habit once and for all!
Your advice is very good! It's all about the dose if you want to dabble in substances. Your mind tells you I'm only going to do a little bit but that never happens lol. Addiction gets to be a pain in the ass you get tired of it. For me I just smoke my weed - it's legal here. That has helped me more than anything. It's actually medicine for me helps with a lot things I don't consider it a "drug". I've heard that they kick you out of AA/NA if you smoke weed. They are wrong about that. I think the failure rate of 12 steps programs is high they need to rethink this.
Also I agree with the it’s like waking up from a dream, I remember the 2nd time I kicked I consulted a doctor and they prescribed suboxone films, they said wait 48hrs before I take it, I made it to 44hrs before I was in bed squirming, sweating, bones twisting, heart beating out my chest and I couldn’t take it I said this is it im high enough on the COWS scale and I dissolved a film under my tongue. 15 minutes later everything stopped I felt a relief like it’s finally over, I took a deep breath and my sense of smell returned, I listened to the birds chirping and the relief was something else, I wasn’t chained to this drug anymore. But like you said after a couple months you think only 10 dollars and I’ll be super high and you tell yourself you’ll only use this one time, or you think you’ll be able to control it this time and keep your tolerance low. There is no controlling it! The outcome will always be the same, you’ll be sucked in the same cycle every time that 1 day will turn into 6 months… it’s not worth it
Thank u much for this knowledge. Greetings from Germany. I wish u a good day when u read this❤
I was on 5 blues a day for 6 years and now I’m on kratom. I still withdrawal if
I don’t have my kratom but it’s whatever.
Bennies botanicals online 2 pounds for 85 bucks plus shipping
U can also use doxylamine succinate 200 mg. Online cheap or at cvs. Its basically promethazine. I use once a week to quiet mind
same bro. do you take the powder or capsules? i just eat the powder and wash with water. i eat probably 20+ grams a day. but better than suboxone and shit.
@ Powder only.
Man I know people who do like 50 a day I never got that bad I would do like 12 or 14 a day and then I would flip flop from kratom to fett and then I finally went into a methadone clinic been clean for two years but I still take methadone
I don’t think heroin is even out on the streets anymore it’s all fent
I'm looking for the first step to get on opiates, can you help?
Get on opiates? Don't do it 😮. If it's for pain see if you can get on subutex or suboxone.
Day 3 is a home near toilet day!!! Just so its is said!! 🙂 Blanket and comfy pants and good things to do help me alot ❤️🔥
😂😂
Does this apply to alcohol too Joey? Thank u 🙏
you hit nail on the head its about 5-days to get over acute withdrawal 3 day is the worst , also when you ready to quit ideally , if you are taking oxycontin switch to the Instant release formulation ,try to step down 5--10 Mg every 2-Weeks. The time release with stay in system for 14-plus days , Instant release is 5- Days , so withdrawal is much more protracted or long lasting if you're taking oxycontin time release formulation, VS Oxycodone IR or Instant Release. I weaned down to 40-MG and jumped ship, it was not real bad little diarrhea , mild stomach cramps day -3 was the worst , day 5- it was over , even afternoon of day for was not bad. SO try to wean as low as you can ideally. Buy some kratom do it for up to 10-Days then stop so you will not get addicted to it. It helps withdrawal by 50--60 % better
Yes i know what you are talking about!! Without going into a long story...my husbands dr. Was nit only recklessly over prescribing but, a few of his patients passed away under his care . The state took him to court and he lost his license and practice everything!
1 year later he passed away..
It honestly should be a crime what these Drs do to people..
My husband quit pain pills and Xanax cold turkey...
He has always been a strong willed person anyway as he is a disabled combat veteran...
Good for you that you did it as well...pat yourself on the back ...not everybody can do it.
Thought I would share my story
Stay safe
Take Care
❤ Thanks so much for your instruction on a much needed topic. Hope in God in action.
No problem. Thanks Debbie.
Big ups ❤❤❤❤
15 year iv and meth and heroine user here, havent watched the video. But the first step is to be truly ready to stop and do what it takes to build a life without drugs. That may mean being lonely as f for a couple years while your in the slums grinding to have something. Drugs give you a fake social life. But besides that, if your ready its how. 3 options, MAT, cold turkey, or assisted cold turkey i would call it. The best imo is assisted cold turkey, meaning tapering off or if your on heroine taking suboxone for a week then tapering off that multiple ways to do it. Cold turkey your putting yourself through unneeded pain and are likely to relapse because of it. This isnt 2006 there are way more options to getting off dope today.
How about 200 mgs of methadone what would you recommend? Plz don’t say cold turkey lol . I’ve been scared to deal with this for too long
Sorry I asked that question to soon before you mentioned you don’t have any experience with methadone. I wouldn’t recommend it for anyone. Most people get it for free and you just live in this comfortable agony forever most people are too scared to even consider getting off of it . I wish I went the suboxone route
That is amazing, how much that is. In germany, Dr.stop at 120mg. Most ypu can get. You'll have to taper down to at least 30 , is my experience, to do it cold.
@@NathanMcCabe-tc2odyou still can. You can switch but u have to wait a few days to get the methadone out of your system. Subutex or suboxone is way better imo. I get a script every month from the clinic n have it filled. I don't have to go to the clinic everyday just once a month for my script. Super grateful for that.
@@NathanMcCabe-tc2odu have to start tappering down 10 MG a day. This way your body can adjust n you won't experience any discomfort.
kratom and 7oh keeps me going at this point. Only problem is your right Im just existing, not following my goals. Between that and the money my time is almost up. Also its way harder to switch from fet to subs. (dont take subs from fet goto a detox or get methadone for detox) clonidine helps for the first month of sobriety.
Can also use doxylamine succinate 200 mg ar cvs or online cheap which is basically promethazine for sleep and quiet mind
What is your thoughts on genz preferring be homeless or living in a car life than living in an apartment?
I don't blame them I made the same choice 😂😂
I have had precipitated withdrawal, everyone is different but some people can take suboxone 12 hours after heroine and some have to wait days. It was terrible, and instant. Mine luckily only lasted about 5 hours
Unfortunately, Suboxone really doesn’t work with fentanyl
It actually does 😊. I was on herione n fent for 7 yrs. I use subutex n it's amazing. 3 yrs clean and life is Amazing.
Going through first day of withdrawal off fentanyl. Needed to hear this
gets some 7oh tablets for the first few nights
Hope is Dope mode
Currently
Put this on my watch later playlist
Prob quit once funds run out in 3 months
Subs are a life saver!! When clean, dopamin, serotonin and test come back up.. and that make a mental change because biology..
Find a hobby, socialize and keep your sleep and food healthy! Will help alot
Remember time is your friend..
Healthy lifestyle is the way to go,eat right & do the right things & the world will be so much better & people won't look at u like a nothing
Precipitated withdrawals. Fun times I got to experience twice. Nothing quite like speed running withdrawals. I forget how many subs I had to take the first time to get rid of them. I thought I was gonna rip every muscle in my legs and back stretching or tensing up trying to relieve the aches or rest leg syndrome feeling.
I was the same way quitting cold turkey. Stay sober for a little while then usually just switched to meth until going back to opiates. Had to get on sublocade to actually stop.
It’s crazy when your smell comes back Everything smells so strong.
I used to smoke weed since i stopped smoking i saved $10.000 dollars the frist year i smoke alot never drugs
i would always like a joey video but there are 420 likes and i can not fuck it up!!
wassup joey been expriencing some wierd demon shit bro idk whats going on just hope you stay blessed and close to christ
rebuke any all evil in the name of jesus christ and demons flee
Don't be afraid of the demons. I see my demons as dogs. They know I'm in charge around here 😂
@@joeythegypsy god speed joey dead serious bro we are more connected then we know :]
Step #1 is ( think) @12:10--"the future will take care of itself." These content creators need to understand that non-subs click because the title, wtf.
On point. I remember when ppl in denial would say subs didn't get them high. But on a serious tip.. has anyone ever told u that u look like sid from ice age?
aye hop off my boy talking bout he look like sid. joey im sorry for laughing 😂😂 nah fr joey gang tho
@Braxgrey59 🤣🤣🤣 I can tell joey has a good sense of humor 🤣 😄
Snorting is also a addict thing to do, just use it sublingual.. otherwise keeping yourself in the user brain loo
All the best to anyone ready to get better ❤️🔥💪🤘👍🥰
the fentanyl on the streets now is a whole lot different than heroin. lately when guys go cold turkey they seizure and end up in the hospital. the benzos and tranq and w.e else the cuttin it with is making withdrawl absolute hell even when taking methadone or subs. go glad im out of that lifestyle
love ya kid
And I just mixed it with lyrica the best mix
I just use kratom and refuse more than 2 scoops a day sometimes it makes me high sometimes just my pain is gone .
the fog. dear god the fog. got off the shit last year and realised i lost 35 years of memory and life. absofukinglutely sucks
What are your thoughts on kratom powder
Hello joey it cold as hell in Ohio - 3 🥶❄️
Never done them never will but always love a good joey vid
only time I would snort is if I have a very low supply of subs. Like when I was in Europe over the summer. You can def get by with less by snorting. However it's barely worth the difference if I have a script I just sublingual dose.
Get yourself on Kill Tony, Joey. You would smash the interview
@@darkdeepred6577 I second this
Kill Tony is trash dude Joey has more talent than that
@@JuanJuan-qc1cg yea I'm getting tired of Tony's fake flamboyant laughs
Tony’s shows Overrated
What if you're in chronic pain? Then what?
Subutex works for that. That's what I take. 24 MG. Without that I wd be in real trouble. Have a bone disease n have fractured multiple bones. Without meds I can barely walk upright. Subutex or suboxone works for pain PLUS you can get a prescription for them which means you don't have to go to a clinic everyday to get medication. That is a blessing in itself
I know exactly how it feels stuck in the opiate cycle
Second third day of the withdrawals is the worst
Working for opiates not saving any money
Iv switched from methadone to espranor . it’s been a 2 month and I’m still feeling withdrawn , feeling ill on them , something not right, feel highly sedated. Nausea . Energy drained , depression . Can’t get nothing done, just holds you back.feel like i v made mistake because it’s just another habit il need to kick. .honestly the best thing I should have done is cold turkey . Or cold turkey on the dope.
Hey , i am 57 , was one heroin , metadon , ketogan , from was 14 years old , born as i Benso junki , when i was 50 i stop, clean now for 7 year , all can stop , but you will miss your friend Heroin forever
Don't know if you've ever heard of kratom but people use it to get off opiates, interesting stuff
I've heard it helps
Getting off kratom is just as difficult im there rn
Kratom won’t work against fentanyl. There’s no more heroin. Even harder to quit then it was before
I used it to ease the withdrawals and worked like a charm. I didn’t get sick when I stopped using either.
I'm addicted to kratom like a mf for six years now. Just leave it alone.... It's a curse of its own. I want to quit, badly.
Joey, first of all thanks for everything you are providing to us. Secondly I've been on cocaine and gambling for the past 3 years(since my divorce) everytime I stop and do chalestenics and make money sooner rather than later I find myself on cocaine and in the casino. Every plucking time. I know where it leads I know but still doing it. What can I do to become like you and whach the sky and go: "hah it's been a year without cocaine and gambling"
Try reading this book called " As a man thinkth by James Allen. It changed my life it taught me how my thoughts are connected to EVERYTHING ! It's on RUclips either in audio or text. I like reading the book I have so many passages hi lighted. Audio books don't give me the same experience as the book in my hands. It's a short book but powerful info. It's what literally opened my eyes to a new understanding of what is going on with my life.
Courage is when you know you're licked, but you see it through
First step to getting off opiates: first learn what you're actually on, it's not an opiate, its an opioid.
Like this keep it up
