In Portugal they decriminalised all drugs and put the money that was previously spent on incarceration towards rehabilitation and heroin addiction reduced by 50%.Look it up.
Gabby C no they shouldn’t you would have 12 year olds shooting up meth and the us would collapse with every won on drugs nothing would git done it would basically turn the all of the us in to California so yea what you just said was stupid
@@jasonmckee8145 yes I did make it clean 11yrs now and 7years for the ale, I still smoke ciggies but feel great these days, I had to move to were nobody knew me and change my circle of friends, you really have to want it no half measures thank you for asking.
Weed is medicine, just don't abuse it. If I was taught to go easy on it as a teenager it would've saved me some BS including wicked anxiety and depression and eventually heroin addiction
@@XXathleticsXY I can't agree more, its just so hard and easy to reach for, I had to push it out of my own time. I got to accustomed to being lazy after I smoke, and I used to smoke during the day and I just over smoked, way too much over smoking. I can have now but I'll only chose to if I'm with a few close friend. Getting high and thinking that was my default state is what messed me up. I was gong through heavy depression I used to smoke for the illusion of peace. That's the thing. It all comes home to roost at some point.
@@paulrickson8487 errr, well that makes sense considering my drug of choice was opiates lol... I've been clean 6 years and don't even smoke cigarettes or drink alcohol, and also own my own health drinks business. But yea, carry on condemning someone for turning to drugs after a trauma and what happened in their past... Please try not to judge people.
@@makeouthilI it's actually a take on a quote from Drew Gates. For anyone that has struggled with addiction I'm sure it will resonate with them. It's there for them, not the idiots that have come to a video about withdrawal to put down people that have struggled with addiction... And no, if I'm completely honest I thought under a video like this I'd be amongst others that have, or are, dealing with something similar.
I just celebrated 25 years clean on October 5, 2017. I've never once relasped. Praise God. I wanted my life back and never wanted to have that addiction again. I'm proof it is possible to be clean and stay clean. Im editing this to say thank you for all the likes. Im praying my story reaches those who are struggling and know i am living proof, you can do it. Prayers for all 🙏
I started doing drugs since my teenage, got addicted to heroin. Spent my whole life fighting heroin addiction. Also suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. This is something that really need to be use globally to help people with related health challenges.
Amen God bless people. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without heroin, cocaine, alcohol and cigarettes. And you have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health.
YES very sure of Dr.benfungi. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
I'm really happy for you that your wife decided to help you...I hear about alot of family members or so called friends shutting an addict out of their life, which since most addicts do it to mask emotions to me is the worse thing someone can do to an addict.
I wish they were readily available in my place. Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac. He's constantly talking about killing someone. He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.
I've been shot at, attacked by a shark, opened my chest up so I saw 4 of my own ribs and NOTHING even comes close to scaring me more than going through opiate withdrawal. I'd rather chop off one of my own fingers than go through it. It's the single worst thing I've ever been through. Pain I can handle, the not sleeping, massive anxiety and not being able to get comfortable and relax for days and weeks is enough to make you want to eat a bullet! Thank Christ those days are decades behind me.
@@JohnWayne-86ed May I ask how you managed to get off them without any withdrawl? I've never heard of that. Even on Suboxone and tapering off the withdrawl from just dropping 1mg out of 16 was enough to put me in full blown withdrawl for days. I've been slowly and steadily reducing by the minimum amount and it has taken me over a year to get from 24mg to 14 mg. It gets worse as the doses get lower too.
oh god you are sooooo right. after 3 hours of kicking legs, your back and head startes to hurt a lot out of stress of it. And then fall asleep for 15 min,.... and the legs start again.
me 2 broo if i didnt move my legs i must move my head i think that i was fucked up for life but after a 2 mounts i stoped with that but sometimes when i go to bed at night i still move my legs i live near Turkey and we have rly clean horse here i was 7 years junkie...
"quitting heroin is like dumping a girl you love but she's bad for you." Honestly that is one of the best analogies Ive heard. It sums up my feelings perfectly.
i still got two rings putted on like a marriage on both hands,i dont think i clearly understand how much i loved that poision but it gave me my health conditions in a worse state not to mention huge anxiety attacks that associate with throat closing and stomach acid flowing ,it also gives an acid reflux ,im going threw hell now awnd im ready to get into the state i was before
Oh yes, addiction to opiates/H is often describe like relationship. Shooting H is often called like "going into her arms" or something similar. I honestly think its becouse the feeling od inner peace and comfort after shot its like you were a kid and go into your mothers arms and she told you "dont worry, everything gonna be alright". And you belive her completly. This is how I can best describe IT from my perspective.
If anyone is battling an addiction out there......just imagine yourself in 5 years if you stop, and then imagine yourself in 5 years if you continue. Keep on fighting.
I was addicted to smoking heroin for 1 year and a half, and there was certain points I went up to smoking 20-30 hits a day in a pipe, I was in complete agony in withdrawals, cold chills, nausea, sneezing, cold and hot flashes, and the worst one of all that made me always take more stuff was the horrible restless legs, I literally wanted to cut my legs off because they would be throbbing in pain for hours, it was ridicolous, you can’t do anything, heroin strips you of everything, your loved ones, chances at employment, and my passion music,
The physical withdrawal is the easy part, that's every morning. It's the mental months down the road boredom, apathy, and everyone you know hates you or gave up is where it starts
So true. I’ve quit cold turkey at least 7 times. Go thru physical withdrawal from subs cold turkey then I’ll give you a fist bump. But god yes, the depression months later was always my reason for relapse.
That's very true mate the hard work is building a life back up from scratch. Everyone has been working having kids meanwhile we have been going through years of addiction so it's very true the real work starts after the withdrawal building a life back up from scratch is not easy I'm at the start of that jourjney ...
I could care less about those people if they hate you is because they are not happy with their own life , you have 8 Billions human on this planet , go find a true friend .
Problem with a drug like Heroin is that even if you manage to quit and go sober you'll have to live the rest of your life knowing there's a feeling as good as Heroin out there that you can never feel again. Best thing to do is to never try.
This is sort of bullshit. In all honesty it's not even that good. What most remember is the resonance between withdrawal and taking a hit. It honestly isn't that good but it's highly addictive
i was a heroin addict, and i suffered at my house to be done with it, it was the worst feeling but i think everyone is better off doing that than getting more drugs and so on. i never had rehab nothing. i thank my mother everyday for making me lay and suffer it out. i am now 6 yrs clean and so happy with life :)

Let me simplify it for you, you know when you dive under water and you hold your breath, you start swimming to the top to catch a breath, right before you hit above water, you start to panic and swim as fast as you can, that spilt second when panic overwhelms you, you have complete fear, you are in flight or flight mode, sheer panic....it’s that split second feeling for about 5 straight days, PLUS pain in your body like you have never known, and on top of all of that...you are deathly sick. Sweats, chills, fever, and just climbing the steps to get to the bathroom feels like a K2 ascent to summit. Your arms and legs twitch non stop and you rock, you rock even when trying to sleep. You are so exhausted but sleep can’t come, it won’t. So you rock, and rock for hours, days. It’s basically feeling like you are dying, but for 5-10 days. Then after that you slowly recover. This bullshit about 3 days is insane, then people panic bc at day 4 they still feel like death and think it should be over by now, this isn’t accurate. It’s 10 days, and then the psychical is mostly over, but the brain/body are now just starting to heal. The depression comes after that. The crying and emotions all over the place. Your sex drive goes BAT SHIT crazy, just walking/crawling to the bathroom causes you to be in “go mode” that will settled down though as will everything else . It can take a good bit of time BUT it’s do able. I swear. It can be done. Just remember it can be done, it’s been done before, and it will be done well after you yourself go through it. It’s possible to detox at home, but extremely difficult and people have died trying it. Not recommended AT all. Don’t try to white knuckle it, come clean with your doctor, ask for help, there are meds that can make it bearable, it will still suck, and suck at a level you’ve never known before, but it’s bearable with comfort meds, and exceptional hydration. You will need a spotter as well, someone who can help you when you hit a wall, and feel like every minute is a year. Your support/spotters will be there to force you to drink fluids, help you change clothes, wipe copious amount of vomit, and if you decline rapidly they can hopefully get you to hospital if needed. DO NOT try to do it alone. But know it CAN BE DONE.
get on suboxone, methadone, CBD isolate, CBG isolate (if your on benzos), maybe chaga tea for the nerves and spirulina to help the brain recover. once you are clean you can take lecithin, spirulina and lions mane mushroom and you definitely have no problem researching or keeping on top of things
@@acidbath3226 Can you help me... I'm on Suboxone 20 mg and I take clonazepam (benzo) since at least 20 years... I'm allergic to THC (for real) so I tried Kratom (before Suboxone) and I take CBD... What is CBG...?! Thank you! 👍
@@Layla.H.79 u can get it at hempbarndotcom, its basically like CBD but it doesnt act like narcan for benzodiazepenes like CBD does so you dont have to worry about taking it before taking a benzo. plus it just feels even better in my opinion, more opiate like relief but it will actually cover up the THC in a different fashion but work great to help with side effects and medical constraints
Day 2 clean off fentanyl... I’m really struggling with this withdrawal 🤢 but I’m determined to stay clean! I need 7 days without use in order for me to get on vivitrol, thats my plan!
The worst part about withdrawal is knowing that if you can feel 100 percent better if you cave and use again. The physical symptoms are bad, but the mental side of detoxing is actual Hell.
The restless legs. Is the scariest. Symptom. Ive ever experienced, i still have ptsd about it now, that throbbing pain and wriggling around in agony Once you are clean its ridicolously hard to stop thinking about it, the world can be a very very grey place
@@richardo5951 don't be your enemy bro. Smoke weed instead and get clean again man. Please dont do it to yourself. I'm a recovering addict, been clean for two months and smoking weed now. Makes me help stop thinking about the shit from hell.
Imagine waking up in the morning and your first thought not being how you are going to get your fix that day. You are able to begin living life again rather than being a slave to your addiction. Detox is hard, but don't give up. What awaits you makes it completely worthwhile. This too shall pass.

@@johnriley3918 Glad you’re clean! I went through benzo withdrawal once and it was so bad. I wanted to be put into a coma or knocked out for two weeks until most of it had passed!
@@Ej-en2lz God damn i’m so sorry to hear that, it’s ridicolously hard, it’s so hard not to get addicted to these things, especially in the world we live in, depression takes us over, or it may be an injury that gets us addicted to painkillers like tramadol pills or sleeping pills when you have insomnia etc Im glad to hear you got through it man, and thanks for your supportive comment, im still on methadone but around christmas I should be completely clean, methadones an evil one too, but they can reduce at the clinic I hope the best for you man
fair play to her and you should be proud she prob done it for you Georgia...thank god you still have your mum and not can live a norm life together much love and prayers to you Georgia🙏💖🙏
Well done her! My dad never did get clean, he lost his battle with addiction and paid for it with his life unfortunately, getting HIV/Aids in the process.
I used to be addicted to Adderall and other stimulants, 2.5 months cold turkey now after I almost OD'd and died. I'm so proud of all the recovering addicts in this thread. We can do it 💗
Respect for not giving in to the addiction and never giving up . I spent 20+ years as an heroin addict and iv gone cold turkey numerous times , only the first time was of my own free will the others were out of my control and every second of it felt like my whole world had turned into a real life hell . when i first found out about detox and rehab i found a whole new way to live my life in a more constructive way . Even tho i went to medical detox and rehab i didn't stop using . I finally jumped on the opiod addiction help program when suboxone became approved by the NZ government , I wont touch methadone because i have seen what it can do to people . Iv been on suboxone for 3 years now and with the knowledge i gained in detox and rehab i have become the father to my kids that iv always wanted to be . If it hadn't been for those detoxes and rehabs that i went through i wouldn't have the knowledge and skills to be a dad to my kids . Where do governments get off on cutting funding to organisations that are helping people to become real and help them on the the path to recovery , these organisations help to save people's lives , save families , teach us how to be better and more real in our own lifes . Addicts are people to
I'd like to say that I'm proud of each and every one of you for pulling yourself together and getting your self clean. And I wish luck to those of you who are trying to stop their addiction.
Yeah everyones experience is different but just watching this brings back all the feelings I had October 2017 when I quit a 2 gram a day habbit. I am the happiest ive ever been.
I lost my sister to a heroin overdose on July 25, 2020. If you’re reading this and struggling with addiction, just know the pain of losing someone you love to drugs is indescribable. Don’t leave the people in your life forever asking themselves why, and forever blaming themselves for your decline. If you need a sign or a wake up call, take this comment as one. I love you, I’m proud of you, and I know you can beat addiction.
21 years clean,still have heroin dreams,not as regular as when I came off it,maybe 1-2 times a year,never figured out how to use it without all the carnage that goes with it,so best leave it alone
@@RhysapGrug when i run out of methadone i go into a big horrible sleep for at least a day then start really badly rattling,but H i don't sleep so long it wares off after 12 hours or so then you are lucky to sleep
@Spencer Proctor Strange... I've never experienced a crash in early stages of withdrawal... just insomnia from start to finish. I feel ya man, I've been through it more times then I care to think about, it's hard on your body, after getting older and losing most of my friend circle I said "enough is enough" and gained control over my habit, I got a prescription for morphine now, I use it as prescribed to make sure I never run out, I do miss nodding out tho😌. As I got older I just couldn't handle the withdrawal like I did when I was 17-18 years old. Yup, tolerance will remain high for years after getting clean if it ever goes down, still takes me 150mgs of morphine to really feel it after years of being on half< that dose. Psychedelics and Kratom helped me to gain control.... something to consider. Good luck buddy, if I can do it so can you.
@@Isa-qh3ue For sure, methadone is the worst of them, I was on methadone maintenance for ten years, you're right... takes about 48 hours for the worst part to start, however, I never had a crash/sleep beforehand. Suboxone... I didn't have a hard time with at all, probably because it didn't agree with me in the first place, everyday headaches, extreme nausea, panic attacks/feeling of despair, lost my ability to play guitar/piano and a overall plastic/shit high from it😝... why anyone thinks it's worth taking I'll never understand?🤔
John Wayne when I first started using I used to sleep a lot the first day or two I wasn’t using but as I continued using n using more that changed for sure. But everyone’s different I’m still using and I can say some can function some can’t some will be puking some shitting their pants like I said everyone’s different and it don’t matter period addiction ain’t shit to judge or compare everyone’s struggling focus on you.
People can become alcoholics after their first beer. Ye Im talking about myself here. There are no dangerous drugs. The problem here is your brain chemistry and the way how it will react too certain chemicals. Some people hate cocaine, others (especially people with ADHD tend too self medicate with cocaine, because its an upper) fall in love with it right away. Taking drugs really is playing Russian Roulette, but you only realise you lost when its already far too late. In the beginning you are the winner.
Yep. That's exactly what happened to me...I have an addictive personality. But I've always been fond of "downers" and opiates. I hope to never feel dependent on anything again. I'm on day four of detox today. I think the only reason why I'm not literally dying is because I never injected it, only smoked it.
I wish my uncle would have been able to over come his addiction. He passed from heroin when i was younger and left behind his 2 daughters. I would have loved to have had more time with him.
michael troy hydroxyzine , im actually on it now. It’s a newer treatment to help lessen the side effects of withdrawal. It is an antihistamine, and it is not habit forming or addictive at all.
Sam I’m on it too, but not for withdrawals. I can take it as many days in a row as I want to and then go weeks without even thinking about it. I hear that it is effective for helping withdrawals, and I know it’s not habit forming.
It sucks worse than anything ever. You get leg cramps the shits puking hot and cold sweats at the same time. I’ve never done heroin but I’ve been taking prescription opiates for twenty years for various injuries and now that I’m disabled I have to have them but I missed my prescription over a weekend and it was the worst feeling ever.
I HATE the restless legs part! I can cope with the sickness but that awful restless feeling is so hard to cope with, not to mention the INSANE depression and moods that come with withdrawals.
I'm like allan fulton, I've been taking pain medication for years due to an awful spinal injury and my doctor is an idiot and twice now I've had to go with nothing for days and it's a special kind of hell. Especially because in addition to that awful restlessness that you're talking about (which has honestly made me wish death upon myself before because I also had it in my arms), all the burning-acid pain I have as a result of my injury comes back full force at the same time.
Marlovely get rekt i'm in the same boat as you but its my mother, i never had a dad. shit sucks. i wish she could get sober. thoughts go out to you and your dad hope you're doing well
I snorted $300 a day and I was sick as hell for a month , wanted to die but glad I didn't because I'm here on youtube to tell me and other people story of the hell we went through .
Currently using but I'm so scared to stop because I hateany advice people can give me cuz I have a job and I don't want to quit my job to go to rehabin a local methadone clinic want you to be there between 8:30 in the morning till 12 to get enrolled and taking it but I have a job there open seven days a week but don't counselors only there Monday through Thursday at that specific time and if I so what I should do I want to quit but I can't because I don't like being sick I don't even do it to get high anymore I see what they're not be sick half of the time I do it I don't even have that ducking feeling I just not sick so please I'm screaming for help anyone please call meIOD last week on my way to pick up my daughter it was a sign for the withdrawals are so bad my number is 5613860812 please someone help me or point me in the right direction
I know this comment was a long time ago. But well done my friend I am proud of you. & you are helping so many other people get through it with your videos. Keep on fighting 💗 new subscriber :)
19 years clean , its exceptionally rare that it passes through my minde . The best advice that I could possibly give to anyone who has been clean for a while . Is NEVER EVER SAY NEVER AGAIN . It doesn't take much for a relapse , just tiny moment can do it . There is no such thing as an ex junkie, be confident developer a strategy. Be wary of over confidence, it could kill
So true. Just the realization that you will never do it again and will not feel like that again ever is only making it harder for you to quit. You need to take it easy and just keep looking forward for not using it again. Ive been struggling with weed addiction for the past 2 years (I know it is a much more easier substance and withdrawal) but I always found it hard to quit since you know its the “last time” youre smoking and have relapsed some times with the saying okay now is the last buy. Well im just 18 now and have a lot to learn but I hope to finally quit it and get a life for myself
@@goshaman-sc1hf I used to bullshit myself and the ones around me smoking that we would quit that day or next week or w/e but most of us never did, most of us usually did other drugs aswell so it wasnt only that keeping us there, i really tried my first serious attempt like a little more than a year ago (30 y/o now, started when i was 14) and made it the full year then some crazy shit happened people dying etc and i got back into it, now i have been off for a month or so. Cherish that you are thinking about this at your age dude, you got alot of time left to get a life, put 110% into it, change "friends" if you have to most of them arent even your friends! Just keep having this mindset and you will be off doing some greatness. Some tips i would have told myself at 18: Grow intellectually (dont stop after school, keep learning) , Grind , stash cash , invest and get a good life for yourself man.
@@senilesnail8114 I know how it feels man, I had some tough years in high school (my father died when I was 16, left my friend group than I was completely alone) and all I can say that you yourself is your best friend and your mother is the person who loves you the most in this world. but weed always helped me to kind of “show me the way” as it is not real, it is the easiest thing to get into when you face difficulties (or even heavier drugs). Never talked to this about anyone not even my mother, she doesnt even know I smoked weed for 2 years since she will legit throw out of the house (she was born in Russia lol). It is good to hear my friend that you keep going, youre doing great and you will get out of this loop, even tho I dont know you I believe in you! Anyways, I will be in the army in 2 months and hopefully I will get from there some important values that will help me and my mind. Going to stop this weed habit even tho I know I will be a bit broken emotionally (literally bottled the feelings inside with this drug) but after all I have the motivation to accomplish something and to not waste this life for feeling good and euphoric (Except my mother I have nothing and I am not willing to stay like that for all my life..). Well anyways man, it is always good to “open your heart” a little bit and I wish all the best my friend, 30 is a very young age and you can do anything you want :) good luck.
I think im always an addict. Im always one step away from being a junkie, I just haven't been on drugs in 4 years... Unfortunately i love drugs. But fortunately I know that i do. So I am very careful to not put myself around any because I could easily convince myself to do a little. And then a little is never a little when you're an addict.
Hearing these things help me understand what my ex boyfriend endured. I watched him struggle for 6 years with heroin addiction.. Jail and rehab didnt help him..he always came back home worse than before he left. I suppose he just wasnt ready to let it go.He lost his battle with the downward spiral February 11 2018.i miss him very much,very dearly. Rest in peace,rise in glory Marvin Kline. 🌹🌻🌠🌹🌻🌠🌹🌻🌠🌹🌻🌠🌹🌻🌠🌹🌻🌠
But the emotional, psychological, and existential side of opiate withdrawal is the real hell, the physical withdrawals are nothing compared to the nightmare. Hopelessness, Anxiety, Worthlessness, Anxiety, Anger, Madness, Guilt over and over and over.
I'm what they call a high functionning addict. Still, I stopped breathing on december 5th 2020. A nurse that happened to be nearby, saved my life, by calling the paramedics, and administering Narcan and oxygen in time. 10 days later, my dear friend wasn't so lucky. They found him dead, alone in his condo, 36 hrs after. We still haven't buried him yet, because of Covid restrictions. I miss him terribly...
Kratom can save these people but the UK government banned it and the US might too. here in canada they hand out kratom and cannabis to addicts looking to try to get clean.
yeah i've heard about that. it's a harmless natural drug that can ease withdrawal symptoms but governments are too ignorant and they just see all those kinds of drugs as harmful while they give pharmaceutical companies the monopoly with drugs that are worse than natural plants
Jeff Jeff thanks for the correction, i don't remember everything about it. it's definitely a good way of treating addiction or so i've heard and it should be legal and prescribed, same with those two you said. all substances should be legal
never done heroin but had a problem with Cocaine meth and alcohol for a while. the withdrawal was pretty intense but only lasted about a couple hours before i was able to calm down. finally stopped all those habits and now im dealing with liver damage its not worth being curious for a couple of times when the consequences can last you a lifetime. stay strong people
@@anthonycrane1476 lol. Nah. But I wouldn't mind doing a bi-anual opiate sesh. Would rather oxy or something. Don't know any dealers, though. Out of the loop these days. Oh well.
Lol it’s nothing like that, nor anywhere as bad as people describe it, don’t get me wrong it’s one of the worst things I’ve ever experienced, but not for the reason you would think.
JohnnyAppleseed If you’re talking about me, I do. I was the biggest junkie you could find, everything that you expect one of them to do, I did lmao. I’ve just been through much, much, much worse. A knife in the shoulder hurts way more than withdrawals, especially while other things are happening to your body that put you through mental hell at the same time. I guess everyone’s experience is different though. Withdrawals are still worse than most regular people could ever imagine.
been through alcohol withdrawal - had seizures was chroincally ill had pancreatitis and was in hospital for weeks and am now 10 months sober. been through benzo withdrawal - also had seizures and constant panic attacks and i still struggle with that to this today opiate withdrawal been through - although it's not in itself dangerous the leg pain (RLS) and the just general feeling of flu like symptoms times 1000000 is HORRIBLE. but just keep telling yourself that it's not dangerous and you can get through it.
When I cut heroin from my life, I left Colorado and moved to a small town in Iowa. Best chances for success is to get yourself out of that routine lifestyle.
This is why you don’t do drugs just once unless you want to stay that way, honestly it’s very hard to quit it once you’re in it, makes you think it wasn’t even worth it in the end.
jay guapo nah mate i wont. I tried it once and kept blacking out for the whole night, plus the abnormal heart rate and cold sweat; so it’s a no from me. Also in case you didn’t know weed is known to cause schizophrenia amongst other things
What helped me was realizing what I didn’t want to lose; namely my family and my freedom and I could see them both slipping away. Glad to be here, clean since March of 2011...Mardi Gras to be exact.
For a reminder to those who have fell into this drug just know my father was a wonderful man and father. He worked hard everyday and we had everything we could ever. He turned to drugs because he had some issues at the time. He has now been addicted for over 10 years now and there is no way he is coming back to how he was. If you are on drugs please get help and find yourself again. There is only so much time before you loose yourself and your loved ones. I love him very much but distance myself because im afraid to get that phone call.
I wish u well I’m in a similar situation relapsed after doing well for 9 years now I’m struggling kids are older my school sweetheart worries big time I just want myself back can feel myself isolating it’s disease of addiction & now I’m startled a DTox today just want to have peace of mind. NA is helping me but only if I want the help !!! Iv only recently learnt it’s a disease of addiction which affects us spiritually mentally & physical. They told me that I don’t know these facts
It's absolute hell. If you've been addicted for years, the worst part is the emotional and mental torment and pain. I fully expected the physical symptoms, but the emotional anguish really knocked me sideways.
You can survive the watery eyes, yawning, sweating, diarrhea, cramps, hot-to-cold flashes, skin that feels like you sanded it with sandpaper, etc. It's the inability to sleep that is absolutely intolerable
It’s the unbearable anxiety for me and not being able to get comfortable no MATTER WHAT. My anxiety gets so bad I feel like I can’t breathe. And time goes SO SLOW. Every minute feels like an hour
Wow dude I totally relate liquid for me it was tossing and turning on the bed so much that I actually checked my nipples LOL thought I'd give you a laugh take care of yourself
It wasn't heroin but Xanax for me. I'm on day 3 of complete sobriety of all substances, and my first night felt exactly like this 😭😓.. I pray for all the souls that are on their journey to freedom 🙏🏽
8 days clean today. Don’t let anything discourage you, all it takes is will power. Just now starting to feel somewhat normal. It was hell getting here, but I did it.
dead 18 hours.. its been 2 weeks. rough. the back pain is immense. i’m not addicted to the dope. just the feeling it gave me. it’s hard. don’t give up. this is for you
There are multiple withdrawl symptoms all at once happening when you stop cold turkey..I wouldn't wish withdrawl off opiates on my worse enemy , I really mean that..
People say its like having the worst cold but its not true. Ive had bad very bad cold/flu and i CAN handle a cold and flu. Withdrawls are pure pure hell! I felt skin crawling. ..very sensitive t o The light and touch. Severe anxiety along with feeling weak so you cant sleep. Stomach pain diarrhea nausea. Sweting itching pain. .your a zombie with anxiety.
And if you think that having no addiction equals being a kid, in your drug infected deluded mind then 70% of sober people are all kids..hmm nice assumption fit for an addict...so the only adults are the ones who can't make good judgment for themselves and falls into the pit if addiction...very adult like..so besides finding yourself a good rehab you would also need a good psychiatrist...so do your best and try to stay clean and don't relapse coz that will make your fat momma so sad..even though you actually amount nothing
ruatsanga white nah he’s right . You clearly have no fukin. Clue what your talking about. Your so ass backwards it’s pathetic . Like he said gtfo lil boy preach that bullshit you just said somewhere else
12 whole months clean and i couldnt he happier. I went cold turkey aswell for 2 weeks and then started again and then luckily i went to jail and got help and am now 1 year clean.
I was a Heroin user from 18 to 29 years old. Done cold turkey in uk prisons a few times. Was a real low time but kept getting pulled back. The real hurdle is the mental urge but withdrawing is no picnic. I finally left prison in 1999 and was ready to change my cycle and was put on a drug treatment order where if you mess up its back of to the big house. I was first in Kent on this program. Couldn't manage it at home so they put me in a residential centre till I felt strong enough to deal with the changes. The whole process took 2 years. Tested every 2 days for trace of drugs. 2 weeks detox 4 months rehab centre 2 yrs day program. Changed friend and areas. Went on to go to college and qualify as a plumber / heating eng @ 30 yo It is a tough journey but gave me a life I had never known and all I can say is if I can get clean so can you. I'm 48 now. I can sleep now and will not miss the cramps and running round like a rat counting down till the hurt kicks in. Best wishes and stay strong.
I went through medicated detox from Dope over 10 times and didn't stay clean for more that 2 weeks for any of those detoxes. I went could turkey and haven't gotten high since because I was truly ready to stop. I went through all that plus seizures and more. I couldn't eat for weeks and couldn't sleep for months. I've been clean for 6 months now. This is the longest I've been clean since I've started getting high. I still crave but I have to remember them dark times and remember my daughter deserves the best of me. God really does perform miracles because he performed one on me. He gave me the strength to kick that nasty uncontrollable habit of mines. I'm forever humbled and grateful.
One of the worst things for me of heroin withdrawals were when at night, sometimes you sleep for 30min and then you wake up again fully covered in sweat. And it’s so cold, you underwear and t-shirt, your bed sheets are all so wet. And feel so cold to the skin. Then you have to get up and change whatever you’re wearing, change your sheets then go back to bed. And then like 2 hours later you fall back asleep for 30min or less, and you wake up again, covered in sweat and have to change everything again cause it feels so cold. That together with all the other symptoms, it’s hell. I’m lucky i have unlimited supply (for now) but one day i have to face it again cause i can’t do it forever. I don’t shoot, i don’t smoke, i just snort it. But still the withdrawals are so bad you have no idea, freaks me out just thinking about it. The feeling of anxiety, dread, total doom even before withdrawal kicks in, like a real life horror movie.
just starting mine im 40 now since i was 16 lucky i have no criminal record and still looks are good thats me in photo.people say i dont look like a user.its because i buy clothes keep clean and work out exercising.always smoked dreding it of methadone.
the psychological part of it can be bearable if you realise that it is a must for few days but at the same time you asure yourself that the insane depression is not true, it is because your system was set up to live with the drug, when the brain get rebalanced in the dopamine and other chemicals you will get better automatically :) but you must keep in mind that the hell will be over eventually and you must quit in the phase that you know the drug does not give you anything good anymore.. if you thing that you "maybe" wish to quit you are probably not ready yet
Yeah but it's usually a benzodiazepine and heroin withdrawal together for me. It's enough to frighten the living daylights out of you. Yeah the fits off the diazepam are the scariest parts but they are easier to reduce and detox than heroin. I'm using pregabs to detox off now though and they are a god send in one way but in another way I feel like I'm just bouncing from drug to drug lol. Fck knows just keep trying i suppose.
The pain is the most excruciating pain, other physical & mental. I've never gone through it myself, but once you see Someone going through it, it will bring you to your knees if you have any kind of compassion in you. The agony in their eyes is unforgettable!!
I’ve had a Percocet addiction. Been about a year and a half clean. That kinda withdrawal is one of the closest comparisons to heroin withdrawal. I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy
I just walked daily, Like 3 - 5 Miles a day. That's all I could do. It actually helped build up my strength and improve my mood. It was awful, NEVER AGAIN!
Being an heroine addict I can understand each and every moment this is a disease which takes you forever in a trapped drain that’s how I overcome and fought with this disease really thank you god for giving me sober life !! I say to everyone you can enjoy your life without drugs life is very beautiful so enjoy with beautiful memories 😌
Ibogaine treatment from the West African shrub Tabernanthe Iboga, Kratom also known as the herb Mitragyna speciosa, MMS also known as Chlorine Dioxide Solution, and bucket loads of CBD from cannabis hemp, have all been successful in aiding detox and withdrawal from heroin and opiate addiction.
7 years off crack and I see no light at the end of the tunnel. every day I just want to smoke but there are loved ones who don't want me going down that path. once I am the only one left, I'll be able to go back to my old life but until then I can't hurt my family. life without drugs is such a painful existence
Do this for yourself, not your family, dude. You aren't hurting them. You're hurting YOU. You are doing better than you think you are without crack. Keep doing what you are doing, man.
I am sober for 5 years now. But i didn’t go to any rehab or something. Instead i was locked in my room by my family. I didnt get any medication to easy my pain, i was given nothing to help me out, not even a cigarette or pain killers. It felt like hell. But due to the torture i endured i have sworn to never ever even think about heroin. Offcourse i had the urges to try it one last time. But then I remember those days in my room.
Same bro I'm going throught it now in my room 5days getting better but still no motivation to do any kind of work.....can u tell me how long will it last coz I can't take it anymore
In Portugal they decriminalised all drugs and put the money that was previously spent on incarceration towards rehabilitation and heroin addiction reduced by 50%.Look it up.
because everyone was doing weed instead, safer, more affordable and easily accessible.
Wow if only America could do that.
Yes!!!! My mom did entire research paper in college on criminalization of drugs !! We need to do this for the war on drugs!!
Gabby C no they shouldn’t you would have 12 year olds shooting up meth and the us would collapse with every won on drugs nothing would git done it would basically turn the all of the us in to California so yea what you just said was stupid
I wish the United States did this. Unfortunately, they won't; it wouldn't be good for business.
2 months. Doing it for myself and no one else. I wanted my life back.
Congratulations, keep it up
Good job! Give us an update.
It's the only way I moved across the city to get away from my aquaintences, as they were dragging me back.
Did you make it? I hope you did.
@@jasonmckee8145 yes I did make it clean 11yrs now and 7years for the ale, I still smoke ciggies but feel great these days, I had to move to were nobody knew me and change my circle of friends, you really have to want it no half measures thank you for asking.
Using heroin is like stealing from heaven and paying for it with a trip through hell.
wow that's a great way of putting it! never heard that before
Well said
im kicking weed atm, no real physical withdrawls, it would be o hard with physical withdrawls, weed feels like a real kiddies drug compared to this
Weed is medicine, just don't abuse it. If I was taught to go easy on it as a teenager it would've saved me some BS including wicked anxiety and depression and eventually heroin addiction
@@XXathleticsXY I can't agree more, its just so hard and easy to reach for, I had to push it out of my own time. I got to accustomed to being lazy after I smoke, and I used to smoke during the day and I just over smoked, way too much over smoking. I can have now but I'll only chose to if I'm with a few close friend. Getting high and thinking that was my default state is what messed me up. I was gong through heavy depression I used to smoke for the illusion of peace. That's the thing. It all comes home to roost at some point.
*HEROIN GAVE ME BEAUTIFUL WINGS,,,,*

@@paulrickson8487 errr, well that makes sense considering my drug of choice was opiates lol... I've been clean 6 years and don't even smoke cigarettes or drink alcohol, and also own my own health drinks business. But yea, carry on condemning someone for turning to drugs after a trauma and what happened in their past... Please try not to judge people.
@The dirty bubble never touched a needle in my life. I used to snort it or smoke it....
congrats on 6 years clean but surely you knew that commenting something like this on the internet would attract negative attention/:
@@makeouthilI it's actually a take on a quote from Drew Gates. For anyone that has struggled with addiction I'm sure it will resonate with them. It's there for them, not the idiots that have come to a video about withdrawal to put down people that have struggled with addiction...
And no, if I'm completely honest I thought under a video like this I'd be amongst others that have, or are, dealing with something similar.
I just celebrated 25 years clean on October 5, 2017. I've never once relasped. Praise God. I wanted my life back and never wanted to have that addiction again. I'm proof it is possible to be clean and stay clean. Im editing this to say thank you for all the likes. Im praying my story reaches those who are struggling and know i am living proof, you can do it. Prayers for all 🙏
How did you do it?
By not taking drugs lmfao
i am happy for you. Random and you probably dont care but I was born on October 5th.
Jesus Murillo so was i👍
Praise yourself, you did it on your own.
I started doing drugs since my teenage, got addicted to heroin. Spent my whole life fighting heroin addiction. Also suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. This is something that really need to be use globally to help people with related health challenges.
Amen God bless people. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without heroin, cocaine, alcohol and cigarettes. And you have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health.
YES very sure of Dr.benfungi. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
I'm really happy for you that your wife decided to help you...I hear about alot of family members or so called friends shutting an addict out of their life, which since most addicts do it to mask emotions to me is the worse thing someone can do to an addict.
How do i reach out to him? Is he on Instagram
I wish they were readily available in my place. Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac. He's constantly talking about killing someone. He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.
I've been shot at, attacked by a shark, opened my chest up so I saw 4 of my own ribs and NOTHING even comes close to scaring me more than going through opiate withdrawal. I'd rather chop off one of my own fingers than go through it. It's the single worst thing I've ever been through. Pain I can handle, the not sleeping, massive anxiety and not being able to get comfortable and relax for days and weeks is enough to make you want to eat a bullet! Thank Christ those days are decades behind me.
I wanna hear about the attacked shark. story please
Jerry King Thats why I never go through withdrawal, I'm lucky to have a good doctor.
And now you’re a racist...
@@JohnWayne-86ed May I ask how you managed to get off them without any withdrawl? I've never heard of that. Even on Suboxone and tapering off the withdrawl from just dropping 1mg out of 16 was enough to put me in full blown withdrawl for days. I've been slowly and steadily reducing by the minimum amount and it has taken me over a year to get from 24mg to 14 mg. It gets worse as the doses get lower too.
Attacked by a shark? Yeah right
The restless legs...oh god the restless legs...AKA bedsheet karate...that is the worst symptom i ever had.
James Morris it comes back sometimes but only one night ,that's after five years ,enjoy,🤗 l.o.l.
oh god you are sooooo right. after 3 hours of kicking legs, your back and head startes to hurt a lot out of stress of it. And then fall asleep for 15 min,.... and the legs start again.
I call it on my unicycle
me 2 broo if i didnt move my legs i must move my head i think that i was fucked up for life but after a 2 mounts i stoped with that but sometimes when i go to bed at night i still move my legs i live near Turkey and we have rly clean horse here i was 7 years junkie...

"quitting heroin is like dumping a girl you love but she's bad for you."
Honestly that is one of the best analogies Ive heard. It sums up my feelings perfectly.
i still got two rings putted on like a marriage on both hands,i dont think i clearly understand how much i loved that poision but it gave me my health conditions in a worse state not to mention huge anxiety attacks that associate with throat closing and stomach acid flowing ,it also gives an acid reflux ,im going threw hell now awnd im ready to get into the state i was before
Oh yes, addiction to opiates/H is often describe like relationship. Shooting H is often called like "going into her arms" or something similar. I honestly think its becouse the feeling od inner peace and comfort after shot its like you were a kid and go into your mothers arms and she told you "dont worry, everything gonna be alright". And you belive her completly.
This is how I can best describe IT from my perspective.

Awesome. Keep it going man
If anyone is battling an addiction out there......just imagine yourself in 5 years if you stop, and then imagine yourself in 5 years if you continue. Keep on fighting.
Thats such a good way to put it man.. thank you
Great thought but I want to point out that thinking that far into the future is difficult when in the grips of addiction. People need help and support
I was addicted to smoking heroin for 1 year and a half, and there was certain points I went up to smoking 20-30 hits a day in a pipe, I was in complete agony in withdrawals, cold chills, nausea, sneezing, cold and hot flashes, and the worst one of all that made me always take more stuff was the horrible restless legs, I literally wanted to cut my legs off because they would be throbbing in pain for hours, it was ridicolous, you can’t do anything, heroin strips you of everything, your loved ones, chances at employment, and my passion music,
@faith grace im english i dont think they have that over here no?
Thanks
ive never done it but my prayers to all that are going through it and god bless all those who became clean ....love you guys proud of you
skiLL phrAIM stay strong brotha. hope you are doing well
Thanks !❤️🙌🏻
SO KIND.
The physical withdrawal is the easy part, that's every morning. It's the mental months down the road boredom, apathy, and everyone you know hates you or gave up is where it starts
Physical part ain't easy at all if you do it bareback. But yes keeping off it is a massive fight to. Respect hope your all well.
So true. I’ve quit cold turkey at least 7 times. Go thru physical withdrawal from subs cold turkey then I’ll give you a fist bump. But god yes, the depression months later was always my reason for relapse.
That's very true mate the hard work is building a life back up from scratch. Everyone has been working having kids meanwhile we have been going through years of addiction so it's very true the real work starts after the withdrawal building a life back up from scratch is not easy I'm at the start of that jourjney ...
I agree 100% cravings make me feel like pulling my hair out. You cant stop think8ng about anything but opiods.
I could care less about those people if they hate you is because they are not happy with their own life , you have 8 Billions human on this planet , go find a true friend .
Problem with a drug like Heroin is that even if you manage to quit and go sober you'll have to live the rest of your life knowing there's a feeling as good as Heroin out there that you can never feel again.
Best thing to do is to never try.
So true
Man thats true. And thats why i m struggling to get off it
This is sort of bullshit. In all honesty it's not even that good. What most remember is the resonance between withdrawal and taking a hit. It honestly isn't that good but it's highly addictive
“It’s like your life keeps flashing before your eyes but it’s only the bad stuff” real shit
i was a heroin addict, and i suffered at my house to be done with it, it was the worst feeling but i think everyone is better off doing that than getting more drugs and so on. i never had rehab nothing. i thank my mother everyday for making me lay and suffer it out. i am now 6 yrs clean and so happy with life :)

Im here with you man, well done for being clean, and you did it before it was too late!!
Do you quit the cold turkey way? I heard it’s dangerous and risky
Let me simplify it for you, you know when you dive under water and you hold your breath, you start swimming to the top to catch a breath, right before you hit above water, you start to panic and swim as fast as you can, that spilt second when panic overwhelms you, you have complete fear, you are in flight or flight mode, sheer panic....it’s that split second feeling for about 5 straight days, PLUS pain in your body like you have never known, and on top of all of that...you are deathly sick. Sweats, chills, fever, and just climbing the steps to get to the bathroom feels like a K2 ascent to summit. Your arms and legs twitch non stop and you rock, you rock even when trying to sleep. You are so exhausted but sleep can’t come, it won’t. So you rock, and rock for hours, days. It’s basically feeling like you are dying, but for 5-10 days. Then after that you slowly recover. This bullshit about 3 days is insane, then people panic bc at day 4 they still feel like death and think it should be over by now, this isn’t accurate. It’s 10 days, and then the psychical is mostly over, but the brain/body are now just starting to heal. The depression comes after that. The crying and emotions all over the place. Your sex drive goes BAT SHIT crazy, just walking/crawling to the bathroom causes you to be in “go mode” that will settled down though as will everything else . It can take a good bit of time BUT it’s do able. I swear. It can be done. Just remember it can be done, it’s been done before, and it will be done well after you yourself go through it. It’s possible to detox at home, but extremely difficult and people have died trying it. Not recommended AT all. Don’t try to white knuckle it, come clean with your doctor, ask for help, there are meds that can make it bearable, it will still suck, and suck at a level you’ve never known before, but it’s bearable with comfort meds, and exceptional hydration. You will need a spotter as well, someone who can help you when you hit a wall, and feel like every minute is a year. Your support/spotters will be there to force you to drink fluids, help you change clothes, wipe copious amount of vomit, and if you decline rapidly they can hopefully get you to hospital if needed. DO NOT try to do it alone. But know it CAN BE DONE.
Finally... the best advice on the internet on the subject! 👍
basically...and on top of that is even more that is impossible to even put into words
get on suboxone, methadone, CBD isolate, CBG isolate (if your on benzos), maybe chaga tea for the nerves and spirulina to help the brain recover. once you are clean you can take lecithin, spirulina and lions mane mushroom and you definitely have no problem researching or keeping on top of things
@@acidbath3226 Can you help me... I'm on Suboxone 20 mg and I take clonazepam (benzo) since at least 20 years... I'm allergic to THC (for real) so I tried Kratom (before Suboxone) and I take CBD... What is CBG...?! Thank you! 👍
@@Layla.H.79 u can get it at hempbarndotcom, its basically like CBD but it doesnt act like narcan for benzodiazepenes like CBD does so you dont have to worry about taking it before taking a benzo. plus it just feels even better in my opinion, more opiate like relief but it will actually cover up the THC in a different fashion but work great to help with side effects and medical constraints

The worst part about withdrawal is knowing that if you can feel 100 percent better if you cave and use again. The physical symptoms are bad, but the mental side of detoxing is actual Hell.
Agree, the mental side is probably the absolute worst...But the physical side is no picnic, either.
Yes, the psychological aspect of withdrawl is just as bad. Deep depression,boredom,apathy,hopelessness. I'm using again after a year and a half clean.
The restless legs. Is the scariest. Symptom. Ive ever experienced, i still have ptsd about it now, that throbbing pain and wriggling around in agony
Once you are clean its ridicolously hard to stop thinking about it, the world can be a very very grey place
@@richardo5951 don't be your enemy bro. Smoke weed instead and get clean again man. Please dont do it to yourself. I'm a recovering addict, been clean for two months and smoking weed now. Makes me help stop thinking about the shit from hell.
Imagine waking up in the morning and your first thought not being how you are going to get your fix that day. You are able to begin living life again rather than being a slave to your addiction. Detox is hard, but don't give up. What awaits you makes it completely worthwhile. This too shall pass.

Respect for not giving in to the addiction and never giving up .

Even tho i went to medical detox and rehab i didn't stop using . I finally jumped on the opiod addiction help program when suboxone became approved by the NZ government , I wont touch methadone because i have seen what it can do to people . Iv been on suboxone for 3 years now and with the knowledge i gained in detox and rehab i have become the father to my kids that iv always wanted to be . If it hadn't been for those detoxes and rehabs that i went through i wouldn't have the knowledge and skills to be a dad to my kids . Where do governments get off on cutting funding to organisations that are helping people to become real and help them on the the path to recovery , these organisations help to save people's lives , save families , teach us how to be better and more real in our own lifes . Addicts are people to
I'd like to say that I'm proud of each and every one of you for pulling yourself together and getting your self clean. And I wish luck to those of you who are trying to stop their addiction.
Yeah everyones experience is different but just watching this brings back all the feelings I had October 2017 when I quit a 2 gram a day habbit. I am the happiest ive ever been.
I lost my sister to a heroin overdose on July 25, 2020. If you’re reading this and struggling with addiction, just know the pain of losing someone you love to drugs is indescribable. Don’t leave the people in your life forever asking themselves why, and forever blaming themselves for your decline.

21 years clean,still have heroin dreams,not as regular as when I came off it,maybe 1-2 times a year,never figured out how to use it without all the carnage that goes with it,so best leave it alone
when I was withdrawling from heroin, I slept for 36 hours straight. Then I got the chills, stomach ache, diarrhea, the whole shabang. it was HORRIBLE
Lukin OG Bullshit! no one sleeps through withdrawal.
@@RhysapGrug when i run out of methadone i go into a big horrible sleep for at least a day then start really badly rattling,but H i don't sleep so long it wares off after 12 hours or so then you are lucky to sleep
@Spencer Proctor Strange... I've never experienced a crash in early stages of withdrawal... just insomnia from start to finish. I feel ya man, I've been through it more times then I care to think about, it's hard on your body, after getting older and losing most of my friend circle I said "enough is enough" and gained control over my habit, I got a prescription for morphine now, I use it as prescribed to make sure I never run out, I do miss nodding out tho😌. As I got older I just couldn't handle the withdrawal like I did when I was 17-18 years old. Yup, tolerance will remain high for years after getting clean if it ever goes down, still takes me 150mgs of morphine to really feel it after years of being on half< that dose. Psychedelics and Kratom helped me to gain control.... something to consider. Good luck buddy, if I can do it so can you.
@@Isa-qh3ue For sure, methadone is the worst of them, I was on methadone maintenance for ten years, you're right... takes about 48 hours for the worst part to start, however, I never had a crash/sleep beforehand. Suboxone... I didn't have a hard time with at all, probably because it didn't agree with me in the first place, everyday headaches, extreme nausea, panic attacks/feeling of despair, lost my ability to play guitar/piano and a overall plastic/shit high from it😝... why anyone thinks it's worth taking I'll never understand?🤔
John Wayne when I first started using I used to sleep a lot the first day or two I wasn’t using but as I continued using n using more that changed for sure. But everyone’s different I’m still using and I can say some can function some can’t some will be puking some shitting their pants like I said everyone’s different and it don’t matter period addiction ain’t shit to judge or compare everyone’s struggling focus on you.
Heroin honestly terrified me. I can't believe people get hooked sometimes after just one hit. So so dangerous
People can become alcoholics after their first beer. Ye Im talking about myself here. There are no dangerous drugs. The problem here is your brain chemistry and the way how it will react too certain chemicals. Some people hate cocaine, others (especially people with ADHD tend too self medicate with cocaine, because its an upper) fall in love with it right away.
Taking drugs really is playing Russian Roulette, but you only realise you lost when its already far too late. In the beginning you are the winner.
99% of heroin addicts got addicted to pharmaceutical painkillers 1st,then went to heroin when their script was taken
H Town big facts
The one hit thing is a myth otherwise so many people who've been in a ambulance or hospital and given morphine would also be an addict
Yep. That's exactly what happened to me...I have an addictive personality. But I've always been fond of "downers" and opiates. I hope to never feel dependent on anything again. I'm on day four of detox today. I think the only reason why I'm not literally dying is because I never injected it, only smoked it.
I wish my uncle would have been able to over come his addiction. He passed from heroin when i was younger and left behind his 2 daughters. I would have loved to have had more time with him.

“Doc, I need some help. What can you do to help me stop taking drugs?”
Doc: “That’s easy. Just take these drugs.”
Old Gregg some of the drugs prescribed to help ease withdrawal symptoms are non-habit forming however, which makes them a safe choice
@@samonelly4813Like what? What drugs are being given to help withdrawal that are NOT habit forming?
michael troy hydroxyzine , im actually on it now. It’s a newer treatment to help lessen the side effects of withdrawal. It is an antihistamine, and it is not habit forming or addictive at all.
Sam I’m on it too, but not for withdrawals. I can take it as many days in a row as I want to and then go weeks without even thinking about it. I hear that it is effective for helping withdrawals, and I know it’s not habit forming.
this is essential what he song white rabbit by jefferson airplane is about
People who say I can quit anytime I want usually do quit when it kills them.
It sucks worse than anything ever. You get leg cramps the shits puking hot and cold sweats at the same time. I’ve never done heroin but I’ve been taking prescription opiates for twenty years for various injuries and now that I’m disabled I have to have them but I missed my prescription over a weekend and it was the worst feeling ever.
allan fulton so r depression pills
allan fulton than you've done heroin.
I HATE the restless legs part! I can cope with the sickness but that awful restless feeling is so hard to cope with, not to mention the INSANE depression and moods that come with withdrawals.
I'm like allan fulton, I've been taking pain medication for years due to an awful spinal injury and my doctor is an idiot and twice now I've had to go with nothing for days and it's a special kind of hell. Especially because in addition to that awful restlessness that you're talking about (which has honestly made me wish death upon myself before because I also had it in my arms), all the burning-acid pain I have as a result of my injury comes back full force at the same time.
Error Fairy no not heroin pain medication which is stronger than heroin according to my doctor.
So accurate.
I have been through this a minimum of 20 times.
It makes you question your sanity.

Man I'm blasted right now really good story
I have a lot of respect for this guy and everyone else like him, to anyone out there detoxing I wish you the best, you can do it ❤️
19 years clean , its exceptionally rare that it passes through my minde . The best advice that I could possibly give to anyone who has been clean for a while . Is NEVER EVER SAY NEVER AGAIN . It doesn't take much for a relapse , just tiny moment can do it . There is no such thing as an ex junkie, be confident developer a strategy. Be wary of over confidence, it could kill
So true. Just the realization that you will never do it again and will not feel like that again ever is only making it harder for you to quit. You need to take it easy and just keep looking forward for not using it again. Ive been struggling with weed addiction for the past 2 years (I know it is a much more easier substance and withdrawal) but I always found it hard to quit since you know its the “last time” youre smoking and have relapsed some times with the saying okay now is the last buy.
Well im just 18 now and have a lot to learn but I hope to finally quit it and get a life for myself
@@goshaman-sc1hf I used to bullshit myself and the ones around me smoking that we would quit that day or next week or w/e but most of us never did, most of us usually did other drugs aswell so it wasnt only that keeping us there, i really tried my first serious attempt like a little more than a year ago (30 y/o now, started when i was 14) and made it the full year then some crazy shit happened people dying etc and i got back into it, now i have been off for a month or so. Cherish that you are thinking about this at your age dude, you got alot of time left to get a life, put 110% into it, change "friends" if you have to most of them arent even your friends! Just keep having this mindset and you will be off doing some greatness. Some tips i would have told myself at 18: Grow intellectually (dont stop after school, keep learning) , Grind , stash cash , invest and get a good life for yourself man.
@@senilesnail8114 I know how it feels man, I had some tough years in high school (my father died when I was 16, left my friend group than I was completely alone) and all I can say that you yourself is your best friend and your mother is the person who loves you the most in this world. but weed always helped me to kind of “show me the way” as it is not real, it is the easiest thing to get into when you face difficulties (or even heavier drugs). Never talked to this about anyone not even my mother, she doesnt even know I smoked weed for 2 years since she will legit throw out of the house (she was born in Russia lol). It is good to hear my friend that you keep going, youre doing great and you will get out of this loop, even tho I dont know you I believe in you!
Anyways, I will be in the army in 2 months and hopefully I will get from there some important values that will help me and my mind.
Going to stop this weed habit even tho I know I will be a bit broken emotionally (literally bottled the feelings inside with this drug) but after all I have the motivation to accomplish something and to not waste this life for feeling good and euphoric (Except my mother I have nothing and I am not willing to stay like that for all my life..).
Well anyways man, it is always good to “open your heart” a little bit and I wish all the best my friend, 30 is a very young age and you can do anything you want :) good luck.
@@senilesnail8114 thank you for the good advice 🙏
I think im always an addict. Im always one step away from being a junkie, I just haven't been on drugs in 4 years... Unfortunately i love drugs. But fortunately I know that i do. So I am very careful to not put myself around any because I could easily convince myself to do a little. And then a little is never a little when you're an addict.
Thank you for being an inspiration to me! Tomorrow I have eleven months clean time under my belt.
Hearing these things help me understand what my ex boyfriend endured. I watched him struggle for 6 years with heroin addiction..

Heroin is healthy
But the emotional, psychological, and existential side of opiate withdrawal is the real hell, the physical withdrawals are nothing compared to the nightmare. Hopelessness, Anxiety, Worthlessness, Anxiety, Anger, Madness, Guilt over and over and over.

I'm what they call a high functionning addict. Still, I stopped breathing on december 5th 2020. A nurse that happened to be nearby, saved my life, by calling the paramedics, and administering Narcan and oxygen in time.
10 days later, my dear friend wasn't so lucky. They found him dead, alone in his condo, 36 hrs after. We still haven't buried him yet, because of Covid restrictions. I miss him terribly...
Kratom can save these people but the UK government banned it and the US might too. here in canada they hand out kratom and cannabis to addicts looking to try to get clean.
yeah i've heard about that. it's a harmless natural drug that can ease withdrawal symptoms but governments are too ignorant and they just see all those kinds of drugs as harmful while they give pharmaceutical companies the monopoly with drugs that are worse than natural plants
My cousin uses Kratom to stay clean. It’s been a miracle for her
Jeff Jeff thanks for the correction, i don't remember everything about it. it's definitely a good way of treating addiction or so i've heard and it should be legal and prescribed, same with those two you said. all substances should be legal
Bok we get it Canada is amazing everywhere else blows
Wicked!
“Treat them as humans”
🥺❤️
never done heroin but had a problem with Cocaine meth and alcohol for a while. the withdrawal was pretty intense but only lasted about a couple hours before i was able to calm down. finally stopped all those habits and now im dealing with liver damage its not worth being curious for a couple of times when the consequences can last you a lifetime. stay strong people
That's not withdrawal buddy. Your high wore off lol.
Good luck to anyone struggling with addiction who is trying to give up, may you have all the support you need

Lol it’s nothing like that, nor anywhere as bad as people describe it, don’t get me wrong it’s one of the worst things I’ve ever experienced, but not for the reason you would think.
JohnnyAppleseed If you’re talking about me, I do. I was the biggest junkie you could find, everything that you expect one of them to do, I did lmao. I’ve just been through much, much, much worse. A knife in the shoulder hurts way more than withdrawals, especially while other things are happening to your body that put you through mental hell at the same time. I guess everyone’s experience is different though. Withdrawals are still worse than most regular people could ever imagine.
7 Years, 2 Months, 15 days... It's hard as Hell in the beginning, but it is possible..
been through alcohol withdrawal - had seizures was chroincally ill had pancreatitis and was in hospital for weeks and am now 10 months sober.
been through benzo withdrawal - also had seizures and constant panic attacks and i still struggle with that to this today
opiate withdrawal been through - although it's not in itself dangerous the leg pain (RLS) and the just general feeling of flu like symptoms times 1000000 is HORRIBLE. but just keep telling yourself that it's not dangerous and you can get through it.
jim smith PREGABS work wonders our kid!
yeah but they don't prescribe it to someone who is an addict
or didnt in my case atleast
I get them off the street, they're everywhere now. Well done on 10 months sober anyway lad!
cheers mate
When I cut heroin from my life, I left Colorado and moved to a small town in Iowa. Best chances for success is to get yourself out of that routine lifestyle.
This is why you don’t do drugs just once unless you want to stay that way, honestly it’s very hard to quit it once you’re in it, makes you think it wasn’t even worth it in the end.
Hearing and watching about stuff like this, especially seeing it in the streets and around people i know makes me never want to touch drugs in my life
if you smoke weed you’ll be fine
jay guapo nah mate i wont. I tried it once and kept blacking out for the whole night, plus the abnormal heart rate and cold sweat; so it’s a no from me. Also in case you didn’t know weed is known to cause schizophrenia amongst other things
I always come back to watch this whenever I want to use opioids.
it's not worth it in the end.
Good luck friend

How many times u can describe heroin compared to tobacco addiction...
You're beautiful, ignore the losers. How are you getting on now lovely? ❤️
What helped me was realizing what I didn’t want to lose; namely my family and my freedom and I could see them both slipping away. Glad to be here, clean since March of 2011...Mardi Gras to be exact.
For a reminder to those who have fell into this drug just know my father was a wonderful man and father. He worked hard everyday and we had everything we could ever. He turned to drugs because he had some issues at the time. He has now been addicted for over 10 years now and there is no way he is coming back to how he was. If you are on drugs please get help and find yourself again. There is only so much time before you loose yourself and your loved ones. I love him very much but distance myself because im afraid to get that phone call.
Im sorry you have to endure that pain… It’s the same exact situation with my Mom since I was 15 and Dad OD’d when I was 7.
I wish u well I’m in a similar situation relapsed after doing well for 9 years now I’m struggling kids are older my school sweetheart worries big time I just want myself back can feel myself isolating it’s disease of addiction & now I’m startled a DTox today just want to have peace of mind. NA is helping me but only if I want the help !!! Iv only recently learnt it’s a disease of addiction which affects us spiritually mentally & physical. They told me that I don’t know these facts
It's absolute hell. If you've been addicted for years, the worst part is the emotional and mental torment and pain. I fully expected the physical symptoms, but the emotional anguish really knocked me sideways.
I’m day 1 only been smoking in joints for 3 weeks now but it’s time to stop it before I get gripped again. Good luck
You can survive the watery eyes, yawning, sweating, diarrhea, cramps, hot-to-cold flashes, skin that feels like you sanded it with sandpaper, etc.
It's the inability to sleep that is absolutely intolerable

People say its like having the worst cold but its not true. Ive had bad very bad cold/flu and i CAN handle a cold and flu. Withdrawls are pure pure hell! I felt skin crawling. ..very sensitive t o The light and touch. Severe anxiety along with feeling weak so you cant sleep. Stomach pain diarrhea nausea. Sweting itching pain. .your a zombie with anxiety.
Zombie with anxiety hahah
ruatsanga white hilarious, u obviously never had an addiction so go home little kid
And if you think that having no addiction equals being a kid, in your drug infected deluded mind then 70% of sober people are all kids..hmm nice assumption fit for an addict...so the only adults are the ones who can't make good judgment for themselves and falls into the pit if addiction...very adult like..so besides finding yourself a good rehab you would also need a good psychiatrist...so do your best and try to stay clean and don't relapse coz that will make your fat momma so sad..even though you actually amount nothing

12 whole months clean and i couldnt he happier. I went cold turkey aswell for 2 weeks and then started again and then luckily i went to jail and got help and am now 1 year clean.
I was a Heroin user from 18 to 29 years old. Done cold turkey in uk prisons a few times. Was a real low time but kept getting pulled back. The real hurdle is the mental urge but withdrawing is no picnic. I finally left prison in 1999 and was ready to change my cycle and was put on a drug treatment order where if you mess up its back of to the big house. I was first in Kent on this program. Couldn't manage it at home so they put me in a residential centre till I felt strong enough to deal with the changes. The whole process took 2 years. Tested every 2 days for trace of drugs.
2 weeks detox
4 months rehab centre
2 yrs day program.

It is a tough journey but gave me a life I had never known and all I can say is if I can get clean so can you. I'm 48 now. I can sleep now and will not miss the cramps and running round like a rat counting down till the hurt kicks in. Best wishes and stay strong.
I'm proud of you, champ. You're a warrior.
Wow…this gives me hope
I went through medicated detox from Dope over 10 times and didn't stay clean for more that 2 weeks for any of those detoxes. I went could turkey and haven't gotten high since because I was truly ready to stop. I went through all that plus seizures and more. I couldn't eat for weeks and couldn't sleep for months. I've been clean for 6 months now. This is the longest I've been clean since I've started getting high. I still crave but I have to remember them dark times and remember my daughter deserves the best of me. God really does perform miracles because he performed one on me. He gave me the strength to kick that nasty uncontrollable habit of mines. I'm forever humbled and grateful.
One of the worst things for me of heroin withdrawals were when at night, sometimes you sleep for 30min and then you wake up again fully covered in sweat. And it’s so cold, you underwear and t-shirt, your bed sheets are all so wet. And feel so cold to the skin. Then you have to get up and change whatever you’re wearing, change your sheets then go back to bed. And then like 2 hours later you fall back asleep for 30min or less, and you wake up again, covered in sweat and have to change everything again cause it feels so cold. That together with all the other symptoms, it’s hell.
I’m lucky i have unlimited supply (for now) but one day i have to face it again cause i can’t do it forever. I don’t shoot, i don’t smoke, i just snort it. But still the withdrawals are so bad you have no idea, freaks me out just thinking about it. The feeling of anxiety, dread, total doom even before withdrawal kicks in, like a real life horror movie.
just starting mine im 40 now since i was 16 lucky i have no criminal record and still looks are good thats me in photo.people say i dont look like a user.its because i buy clothes keep clean and work out exercising.always smoked dreding it of methadone.
the psychological part of it can be bearable if you realise that it is a must for few days but at the same time you asure yourself that the insane depression is not true, it is because your system was set up to live with the drug, when the brain get rebalanced in the dopamine and other chemicals you will get better automatically :) but you must keep in mind that the hell will be over eventually and you must quit in the phase that you know the drug does not give you anything good anymore.. if you thing that you "maybe" wish to quit you are probably not ready yet
Heroin withdrawal is pure hell.
*Benzo post acute withdrawal: hold my beer*
Sunshine Monroe never did street drugs but yes two years of bento withdrawal hell

Yeah but it's usually a benzodiazepine and heroin withdrawal together for me. It's enough to frighten the living daylights out of you. Yeah the fits off the diazepam are the scariest parts but they are easier to reduce and detox than heroin. I'm using pregabs to detox off now though and they are a god send in one way but in another way I feel like I'm just bouncing from drug to drug lol. Fck knows just keep trying i suppose.

Do this for yourself, not your family, dude. You aren't hurting them. You're hurting YOU. You are doing better than you think you are without crack. Keep doing what you are doing, man.
your family is hurting because they see it hurting you

The music is the most hilarious juxtaposition to the subject. I was dancing to some guy talk about withdrawals
Methadone titration and lefexadine.. Got to pay the piper.
Starting my treatment this week
I am sober for 5 years now. But i didn’t go to any rehab or something. Instead i was locked in my room by my family. I didnt get any medication to easy my pain, i was given nothing to help me out, not even a cigarette or pain killers. It felt like hell. But due to the torture i endured i have sworn to never ever even think about heroin. Offcourse i had the urges to try it one last time. But then I remember those days in my room.
How long were the withdrawls
Same bro I'm going throught it now in my room 5days getting better but still no motivation to do any kind of work.....can u tell me how long will it last coz I can't take it anymore
