I’ve been binging his videos all morning. He’s got a great cool brother type of vibe. He’s my new “imaginary friend” on RUclips. NOTE: I’m old. I’m sure if I was 20 years younger he’d be hot. 😉
4:42 . Paying bills, paying rent... buying food, I never thought about any of these things. But I always made sure my cat had something to eat, everyday.
Thank you so much. You got it. What are you coming off of? No matter what the physical stuff is usually done on maximum 14 days. U got it. Stay strong. Let me know if I can help
10: a.m. your hoping to catch the high, 10: p.m. your maintaining and hoping to not get sick! Bro your rockin the truth! Keep it up. So glad you hit the depression.
As a recovering coke addict you hit the nail on the head with angel and devil on the shoulder thing. Thats how i describe too, i know i only have 50 quid to last 2 weeks and that its enough to get food and i know if i spend it im literally fucked for 2 weeks. Yet an hour later ill ring and get a half and leave myself having to go to food banks and borrow money to feed myself for the next 2 weeks. Im not a bad person but i did stupid things like that all the time to feed the habbit. The worst part is, when i have no money im absolutely fine without it, i dont crave it or anything and can function perfectly fine. But for some reason as soon as any money lands in my bank and i KNOW i can get it, i get it immediately and dont give a fuck what i needed to keep the money for and worry about that later. That part i dont understand. That self destructive behaviour, but not a full blown addiction. After my last line im rattling for about 24h to 36h then after that im fine, i dont really think about it if i have no money. So why can i go 4 weeks without any and not think about it to going and spending 100 quid straight up the minute i get money and rattling for more, lying, borrowing money to get more, i dont get it. Its like my alternate personality just takes over and the real me is just a prisoner to this other person
You need a distraction to divert your attention. Learn a musical instrument or a hobby. I've been an addict in the past and I started playing darts that is now my addiction! Good luck to you be positive if I can do it anyone can👍🙂
I think since you don't do it for long periods of time you subconsciously don't think it's a problem. It will become one though, it always does. If I were you I'd do everything in my power to stop while you're ahead so to speak. When it does get to that point going 3-4 weeks without could be very, very bad. Granted coke doesn't make you sick for weeks like opiates but still. I wouldn't push it.
I never realized how easy robbery is, until i was addicted to heroin. Im clean now but my mind is an absolute trip. I was raised in the 90s and holy shit if you took a walk around my mind, youd feel pretty nostalgic but youd probably cry
I will say Ive never been addicted to hard drugs so ive always been curious about addicts’ perspectives, what it’s like, how it feels, etc. Your channel has answered so many of my questions it’s unreal, and I just wanna say thank you for putting this info out there. You’re doing a lot of good for former and current addicts. Thank you
Lol how does it feel to be addicted to opioids? It’s basically going ‘oh shit oh shit oh shit oh shit’ 24/7 because you never thought you’d end up there and now you HAVE to chase a substance. So glad I have 1 year 2 months sober.
I used to buy my shit online (20 years ago), I'd get Norco from Florida "pharmacies" and 2mg straight hydrocodone pills from a guy in China. When I would hear the FedEx truck at 3pm I would be sooooo happy, all the dopesickness was gone and now I can get high and stay awake for 3 days be high as a kite until id chew 4mg of Xanax to get some sleep. Nothing else mattered to me, my house went to shit, I ended up $40000 in debt and spent the summer of 2006 on my couch unable to eat or sleep. Never going through that again. I've had several surgeries since and have been able to take lortabs as prescribed with no after effects since. So not worth the pain of withdrawal.
I've been addicted to heroin since I was 10 years old. Now at 64 I've never been happier ! ! My advice is if you are poor leave it off. I was born wealthy and it makes all the difference.
Start using to feel altered n not normal feeling as possible then it takes a hold of u n u get stuck in a vicious cycle trying to get yourself to feel normal constantly literally incarcerated in ur own mind n body
Hey Mauro yea it is but it will be hard. I think suboxone is the best way to go along with some type of rehab or meetings. Having a program is essential in my opinion. How much are u or the person doing?
I agree drug addicts arent bad people , but at some point you have to come to the understanding they are very selfish and only they can change themselves (former user here). Drug addicts become narcissistic in a sense because they only care about feeding their needs and addictions at all costs , no matter who they hurt in the process . Although I do sympathize for anyone going through addiction , you have to want to CHANGE and quit blaming everyone but yourself
@@Riaz-vm6di that’s a cop out and an excuse that can be used for anything. If a man kills someone , can he not be judged bcuz we didn’t walk in his shoes ? It’s about accountability. That’s the first step to recovery is admitting “YOU” have a problem.
@@actionjackson8439 most addicts dont want to hear the truth . They want to live in their drug induced world thinking the world is out to get them….there’s a difference between narcissism and a harsh truth
SD: try TED TALK everything you think you know about addiction is wrong. It is 14:40 of a point of view that I never considered. Please watch it and do a vid on what you think. It made me a little sad it took people on the outside of our illness to recognize this. I’m not disin your video in any way bro your awesome!
Not still sure since I never tried heroin and never will. Does it felt amazing? Is the effect kinda like... An example as the best way to describe... You're laying in the bathtub feeling so good and warm and the sun shine through the window in the bathroom as the sun is about the set. Or you sit by the window and you happen to enjoy sitting by the window with the sun draping through with no curtain and it happens that you appear to be living on childhood memories and forget about everything the way it is right now, forgetting about the future and you just enjoy your moment. Is that what it feels like? Just asking.
I think so. I had really bad pleurisy once and the hospital gave me a Demerol drip and I literally just sat there and stared at the ceiling or people walking by doing nothing and felt awesome.
@@cygnustsp It's like, you're in the sun of morning and school already started and you're still in your pajama and not going to school, but staying in your room. Something like that.
never done it but i have done many opioids. a common description i hear about how it feels is “take the best orgasm you’ve ever felt, multiply it by 1000 and you’re still not even close to how it feels”. opioids feel like laying on the softest bed with a weighted blanket, its like ultimate cozy, a hug from God if you will, with an intense euphoria. i can only imagine H is like that just much much stronger and far more euphoric.
can you sleep while you are awake?? opposite circumstances in the same time??in short,heroin makes that possible( for me.).(not the perfect answer.and if we talk about how it feels like..it's really difficult.all your switches and connections are off. even your mind is half off..everything is off..but not like the trippy dissociatives such as PCP,K or DXM..just like u'r having a sleep.but awake.feeling a deep deep individuality and neutralisation(i mean in an artificial way)..
You’re a great communicator. And you seem like a down to earth dude. Thank you for sharing your experiences. This stuff really helps educate. Peace!
Of course thank you for the love and support!!!

I'm trying so hard to get through these withdrawals watching your videos are helping me get through this hell
Thank you so much. You got it. What are you coming off of? No matter what the physical stuff is usually done on maximum 14 days. U got it. Stay strong. Let me know if I can help
how is it going?
Hope you made it (2 yrs later).
Hey brotha I hope you made it, I’m sure you did
@@SoberdogsGood luck getting off methadone in 14 days.

Love these type of videos dude. I think it gives such a great insight to people who have never been there Keep it up!!!!
Thanks so much brotha!!!!
Thank you for sharing your experience about this.
Glad it was helpful Peter Thank you for watching
Sober dog everything you say is spot on
Wow great in-depth video or the thought process
Glad you liked it!
I’ve been watching a lot of your videos. You’re an awesome dude
Thanks for a no baloney explaination! Keep up the great work👍
You bet! Thank you for watching!!!
It's the crazy legs I can't put up with that drives me mad.thank god I'm over it all.
Try magnesium citrate before you go to bed. It helped me allot with restless leg. Helps more than any of the prescribed medications I've tried for it.
Thanks!
How can we as family member help an addict? Cause we are suffering more!
Lol how does it feel to be addicted to opioids? It’s basically going ‘oh shit oh shit oh shit oh shit’ 24/7 because you never thought you’d end up there and now you HAVE to chase a substance. So glad I have 1 year 2 months sober.

Still using?
there is no get out of jail free card, but inducting yourself back on suboxone with the bernese method is your best bet if you chronically relapse
Start using to feel altered n not normal feeling as possible then it takes a hold of u n u get stuck in a vicious cycle trying to get yourself to feel normal constantly literally incarcerated in ur own mind n body
Hi man..nice video as always.. Do you think is possible stop heroin all in once without get methadone?
Hey Mauro yea it is but it will be hard. I think suboxone is the best way to go along with some type of rehab or meetings. Having a program is essential in my opinion. How much are u or the person doing?

Do you think the narcissism continues during the recovery period?
Never judge a man unless u walked in his shoes

Judging by your comment, narcissism continues post addiction.

Same as any addiction
nope stimulants you can just crash and sleep for 2 weeks the physical aspect makes it that much worse❤
Its not the same not even close
Anger, fucking frustration, no way out, hopelessness, and more. Yet the stupid fucking substance is supposed to make us feel so damn good. It hurts

Sounds like a simple life. I wish i only had to care about one thing lol
Yes, true. If you become an addict you have only one worry. But dont wish that on anyone specialy for yourselfe.
And its not simple! Hard work 24/7 just to feel normal.

I don’t see how being a slave to a substance seems like a simple life, your soul belongs to the thing
