  • This is just one of the ways harm reduction techniques can and are used and how they were used when I was in the middle of my addiction. If these techniques were not in effect I would most likely have hep c or even worse...

    Congrats on your recovery. There is not a more deserved GOLD medal than your achievement. As a a parent, your insights are invaluable in my effort to guide my children to a safe outcome. I've had some very good friends lost to drugs....and they have told me me that as good as it is.....don't fucking even start. This conversation took place when I had a successful life and theirs was in tatters..... they had the clarity to recognize that I might have been interested. They sobered enough to say..."Don't even start". He was my best friend since grade 3. We are ~50 years old now...and as lost as he is, he steers me clear of his suffering. I love him even though I cannot do anything for him. We both know this....We still talk.

    • @js3617

      I hope not. It's just strange. As hes someone who knows the ins and out of this life, he more than anyone should know what a silent drop off tells us or implies. The worry of relapse, mental health, etc that it causes everyone. When we see people stop showing up to meetings, ghosting therapists, ghosting commitments and people who care...it's never usually a good sign. If everything truly was OK and he just didn't wanna do youtube anymore why not just take 30 sec to tell people?
      Anyway, regardless I hope he's happy, at peace and it's all goodness. Leaving people who invest in you, helped you grow, are actually concerned for you in the dark isn't a cool thing to do though.

    Hey dude I hope you're doing better. Your videos have helped me learn a lot of the real truth about hard drugs. Im 19 now and my parents have hinted in the past towards their addictions, more recently since I became an adult. Im slowly realizing how much it effects the people and community around me. I always had a seeking suspission but now my mom is outright apologizing to me for using. Its a lot to take in and understand but these videos helped me feel not so alone. I still and always will care about my mother but my dad is definitely an enabler. I also live in New York, in Syracuse and harm reduction has fortunely become a big thing.

    I walked in pain upon these streets
    Drinking booze and eating sweets
    The sweets I put within my veins
    Heroin was my sweet Insane
    I had given up upon my life
    For all I had was miserable strife
    One day an hour past the night
    LO and BEHOLD I saw the light
    The light I saw lifted me free
    From pain and drugs for eternity
    I knew there and then I AM THAT I AM
    Because in forgetfulness I forgot my plan
    God gave me sweet remembrance
    Since that day I always dance
    I dance in the stillness of the Ball
    I sing silently a Hymn to The All
    I share my light with everyone
    And happiness and joy I have become
    I pray that we All see the Glow
    That I once saw LO and BEHOLD
    Now my purpose I can fulfill
    Of my names sake I do God's will
    Sam means messenger of The All
    He showed me the light To answer his call
    Now I AM walking upon the Path
    I AM filled with joy and often laugh
    My Heart is Laughing all the time
    For All of God's love is sweet sublime

      Wait as long as you can since your last use. The sicker you are the better subs will work. When you can't take it any longer eat an 8mg tab or strip. Wait a half hr and you should start noticing the symptoms ending. Depending on your use you may have to take more. There's a plateau effect with subs where it has a cap. I'm trying to explain if you eat 24mg or 96mg it has the same ceiling. Back when I was on subs many years back it was 24mg a day. Look into the. sublocade shot it's life changing without having to deal with subs and daily medication, counts, people hitting you up for them etc.. best of luck , it's worth getting clean

      @kyleherold8043 Před rokem

      I mean, I don’t think it’s the key but if they were to get sober and learn to hate drugs that probably would help them not to relapse but that’s much easier said than done. I feel like it’s impossible to get truly sober, literally everyone relapses but it really depends on what drug you’re doing and your mindset about it. I feel like if you started later in life than it’s possible to get sober but for me I started doing drugs at 15 and made it my everything. The last 5 years of my life have been devoted to learning about drugs and practically worshipping them. They fascinate me more then anything and I don’t know how I would break this way of thinking when I’ve been like this for a quarter of my life and pretty much right when I started to become “me” in terms of puberty and life choices, freedom and what not

      @@MsSturbuck Similarly to other drugs, especially opioids and very nuanced. If addiction has developed, everything goes related to addiction recovery. If you're asking about the withdrawals, they should be milder than 'no-ceiling dose' opioids. Really, it's almost the same as codeine. But Tramadol has subtleties because it also works on 5HT(serotonin) receptors so it might add some antidepressant withdrawals as well. I, myself am on suboxone. Been on it for a year, tapering down now and on a very low dose at the moment. Do you have problems with Tramadol use?

    The country I live in have directions from the state to implement needle exchanges and addict resourse facilities as they call it. But many local politicians use the "enabling addiction with clean needles hurrdurr" and sadly the public swallows it like gospel from Jesus himself (drugs and drug users are extremely stigmatized and practically shunned for smoking hashish once as a teenager by some). Luckily never got HepC myself but I was the anomaly in the drug scene in my small town where everyone knows everyone and their business. More died after fentanyl analogues entered with a bang. Would likely be dead as well had I not lucked out when getting accepted into a great 24/7 rehab with long time schedule and coming up on 3 years sober this autumn
