TIL that the link between physical pain and social pain is strong enough that Tylenol can help to relieve social pain such as rejection more than a placebo.

google it.

Any kind of chronic pain can fuck your head up.

That's a good way to do it.

And frankly, I think using e-friends to do it is better than using IRL ones.

This generation lucked out in that regard. When I was your age, if someone had told me that drug addicts from around the world would be counseling each other over a futuristic tv-like electronic thing I'd have laughed. Yet here we are.

In many cases I find that the guilt is worsened by the secrecy aspect of relapsing. It isn't the using that does it, or even the sense of failure, it's the deception.

People keep the secret, get stressed and use more drugs. Secrecy is the worm that'll eat your apple.

And it has a poison gland under it's tongue which it uses to coat its claws before it begins its assault on another mouses fortress.

While not deadly, the neurotoxins in the poison render the other male impotent for several days - this is crucial in limiting competition during the one-week long mating season.

Get those fuckers out.

They'll drive you nuts and you won't even know it until you've gotten them out.

My grandpa used to do something similiar, except he called it 'yankin'.

When you yank a snake out of a coup - by it's tail - hard enough, it's head will smash off the walls of the coup. Then you whip it's head into the ground after it has been yanked.

*If you get good at it, you can make it's eyes rupture from the g-forces without even slamming it into the ground.

Yes, he is. I can tell because of all the negro skulls I have seen on the internet.

And wax or plastic. Then make this magic box heat that stuff up so when it cools you can have a model of something. (Edit: I suppose a blast of cold air could be used to cool it down faster though too)

Ferroplastic, that is what we need now. And Ferrowax.

Then I wENT home and spammed pictures of pineapples on the interENT at 4:20 while I was at my frENTS.

No seriously, I don't have any frENTS. Guys. It's five twENTY, twENTY twelve and I can't stop typing like a fucking moron [10]. Perhaps a mENThol cigarENT will help me not clog up the subreddENT with another silly thread in which the recent observation of the letters 'ENT' or a pineapple serve as the basis for the thread.

because of that there is a serious lack of suitable answers to these questions

I was thinking that had to do with the fact that this forum is made up of a bunch of people fucked up from pills, but that's just one take on things.

As for the moderator here, he is doing a good job. The man is a walking PSA.

The problems you have rationing your drugs are the reason why this place would work and would be its reason for existing.

Some people will demand their drugs back, but they won't get them back any faster than the agreed upon rate. If they did, there'd be no point to the clinic.

semihibernation · 6 days

unfortunately the illegality of using opiates like that would probably prevent that from ever being created...

I'm in Canada. Here, they go in for things that save money on healthcare long-term.

If anyone complains they will be told that they clearly want the illegal narcotics to be out in the street (think of the children) instead of being under the control of a pharmacist, and so forth and so on.

Dangit.

I'm not hip to the new slang. I thought 'posted' was a drug word because I'm old.

It'll happen to you....

mmmpills · 11 days

You'll do better next time.

Also, if you have to relapse, try taking the time release pill whole. You won't feel nearly as guilty, you'll lose much of the WDs and you'll not get as high (which you can be proud of yourself for). And if it is dope, use the bare minimum to take the edge off. Dodge the high once or twice and it'll help you strengthen your resolve, for next time. Small victories are still victories.

Edit:

Have you ever heard of the elephant and the rope? It goes like this:

As a man was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped, confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains, no cages. It was obvious that the elephants could, at anytime, break away from their bonds but for some reason, they did not.

He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and made no attempt to get away. “Well,” trainer said, “when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it’s enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can still hold them, so they never try to break free.”

The man was amazed. These animals could at any time break free from their bonds but because they believed they couldn’t, they were stuck right where they were.

Like the elephants, how many of us go through life hanging onto a belief that we cannot do something, simply because we failed at it once before?

Failure is part of learning; we should never give up the struggle in life.

*Son, opiates are your rope.

It would be totally legal and taxpayer funded. There would be a Pharmacist, pharmacy techs and a nurse to hand out needles and pamphlets (aswell as to help people get onto methadone or suboxone, if that is what they want).

When you drop off your pills at the repository you will sign a contract specifying how many you are to have returned to you per day. When you make your deposit they will be placed in a box and photographed in front of you next to your hand and signature. This image will be stored in your file and be available to you at your request. Each time you use the service, you will receive a receipt stating the amount withdrawn and the remaining balance of pills.

The pills themselves will be maintained by the pharmacist and their pharmacy technicians.

In short, you will be able to outsource your self-control to professionals. Addicts frequently tell themselves that they will ration themselves 'this time', or believe that they can wean themselves off of the drugs - this repository will be there for those people during that brief period of time where they have decided to ration/wean themselves. And it won't cost the addict anything to use (in fact the argument will be that the taxpayer/government will save dollars if addicts have access to this service for free).

semihibernation · 11 days

Hey I've got a question for ya regarding regulating usage: If there was place that would help you regulate your intake, would you use it?

For example, if there were a pharmacy/clinic that would allow you to drop off your drugs and then receive them back at an agreed upon rate, is that something a fella like you would be interested in?

*Using this pharmacy/clinic also wouldn't cost you anything and you'd get free needles and whatnot.

Properly prepared pharmaceuticals are probably safer than dope.

They are probably also less risky to purchase and you are less likely to end up with a hot shot when you use.

*You say you are feeling better when you aren't taking heroin, then keep on doing that. Don't go back to dope, you'll only fuck yourself over doing that.

mmmpills · 11 days

Hey son, it's been 24 hours or so now - can we get an update on your situation?

Did you make it without taking anything? How are you feeling?

I bet your past the worst of it by now.
