Positive thinking for detox
I am in the weening process from ultram. I have a doctor and family helping me. I wanted to ask the people who are experiencing sobriety to please tell me, do you really feel better? I am getting in the depressed part of this but when I start to feel like I will never be happy or feel good again, I'll feel like @%$# forever, I then see someone post how good they feel being sober. Is it really good? I mean, if you post the horrible parts of being a drug addict, and the now good parts of being sober, it gives me and I'm sure many other people who are detoxing hope to go on knowing it gets better. Something to strive for. I guess only sober people can answer this, but the more replies the better, and people like me can read this when we're down and hold on to the hope we can have. The encouraging sobriety stories (like expillman talking about being free) have kept me from using 3x. Please post more encouragement for us with "withdrawel blues". thanks KIMH
i think that everyone's lack of respect for new members is horrifying. just because someone comes in with a different point of view regarding drugs (and it's morally right) is no reason to attack them and try to run them off the forum. i can tell that our new poster is a devout christian or muslim with strongly-held beliefs and some people can't handle it when judgement from up high comes to strike them down.

Thank you. Congratulations on your insight, grasshopper. Since you have trouble comprehending the drug situation, I'll use short words and sentences so that you will understand.
1985. Methadone good. Use much for cancer pain. Dose q12h. Here comes Purdue Frederick and their sales reps with[LONG HALF LIFE] MS Contin. No Accumulation! No ceiling dose. Wax matrix, so junkies can't abuse (HAH!) Now Methadone bad and junkies pout. Here comes the Duragesic Patch. Here comes Kadian. Patch even longer duration, low abuse potential. Junkies smoke patch. HillBillies chew patch. Dilaudid remains the champagne of all narcotics. MS Contin continues to control cancer pain market. Purdue ponders nausea issue.
Fast forward to 1995. Purdue Frederick becomes Purdue Pharma and intros Oxycontin. Cannibalizes MS Contin AND EVERYONE ELSE IN THE PAIN MARKET. Sales Reps push less nausea, NEW AND IMPROVED dual action acrylic polymer Contin delivery system THAT HAS LESS ABUSE POTENTIAL! Addicts who try to inject will get pulmonary granulomas and DIE! Doctors prescribe by the truckloads and sales approach SIX TIMES 1995 projected sales of over ONE BILLION DOLLARS.
Y2K AND BEYOND brings reality that addicts are crushing, snorting, chewing and injecting Oxycontin now heralded by hysterical news media as HillBilly Heroin and a menace to society. Bad Purdue. Bad Doctors. Throw out baby with bath water.
2003 doctors are terrified of Oxycontin and go back to prescribing Methadone for chronic pain. Deaths from Methadone skyrocket.
Spin-Spin-Spin
Methadone is STILL a terrible drug to treat chronic pain. Drug addicts are the problem, their behaviour and INABILITY TO GET THEMSELVES CLEAN BY RELYING ON A CRUTCH LIKE METHADONE hurts terribly LEGITIMATE patients who have LEGITIMATE PAIN.
Conclusion: All drug addicts should be imprisioned/executed and Methadone should be removed from the market.
Now, is that clear enough for you, or do I need to have Barney exercise his uvula in your general direction?
Amen.

It was either Day 5 or Day 6 'clean.' I tingled all over, was lucid and extremely happy. That day was better than any artificial high. I have had this feeling of elation (straight) a few times since, but lately when I have lain around having a pity party, I remember Day 5 (and subsequent natural highs)

Judging from your post, you MUST be one of the more intelligent people on this planet. That goes for educated, as well. Just like the New York Times. If someone abuses opioids, they might die. That is a given. What was your point? I wasn't sure to whom this post should be addressed. Is it cosmicstargoat, or expillman? Most likely, potato-potahto.
