Numb In America: What Drugs Did To Me | |
BRIEF
User ID: 381742 United States 02/14/2012 02:28 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ... Quoting: BRIEF People don't decide to get addicted to drugs, it sneaks up on you...if you play around with opiates and narcotics , you will become addicted... This is very true. I know if I break my arm or get injured and the doctor prescribes me an opiate pain killer now, it would be like jumping off a cliff again and I run the risk of starting all over with my addiction. Now I have to TELL doctors not to give me any, whereas before, I wanted nothing but. Friend of mine is a dentist and drug seekers are a big problem for him... BullShit. You have no friends. You mean that he's an acquaintance. I have lots of friends, but they are all smarter than you...you couldn't qualify if your life depended on it. I never forgive and I never forget I am a licensed firearm holder. I will, under protection of law, use lethal force if attacked. |

Prohibition of drugs only makes drug use more dangerous, not less. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 430043 Famous last words... Are you questioning the veracity of my statement, Brief? People don't decide to get addicted to drugs, it sneaks up on you...if you play around with opiates and narcotics , you will become addicted... It's not how addictive a substance is, it's the persons susceptibility to addiction. |

I dabbled in opiates (mainly smoking opium ontop of cones) and did abit of methamphetamine when I was younger, I was never nor am I an addict. Judging by your posts you have a very close minded view of the world. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 10743193 United States 02/14/2012 02:52 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I stopped smokng pot almost 2 months ago (with only 1 relapse). I have also cut my psych meds for depression and anxiety in 1/2. I am 2 weeks into "cold turkey" getting off of Lexapro (for depression). I plan on getting off everything except the ADHD pills and, if I need them, the anti-anxiety pills that are not addictive, but provide immediate relief if I need them. I am taking control of my life. I am not out of the woods, by any means, but I am no longer laying in bed for the entire evening after work, letting the house go to hell and the kids fend for themselves. I am making dinners now, washing the dishes, keeping the kids from fighting over whos turn it is to use the computer, etc. I have hope, after 3 years of hell (and 2 jobs I could not handle because I couldn't handle anything beyond just getting by). |

(OP) User ID: 1746456 02/14/2012 05:54 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It was to me too, until I became physically dependent on it and nearly died from withdrawal. The jail I was at finally took me to the ER after not being able to eat for a week. The doctor yelled at the sheriff after he brought me in because he said judging by my blood tests & electrolyte levels, I would have died within the next 24 hours. Never give up on freedom.. and never forget that you will never be free unless you truly know who you are.. a divine human being with natural God-given rights which no court or officer on any land can take from you. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 10230878 United States 02/14/2012 05:55 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I became addicted to pain killers at the age of 18 after numerous shoulder surgeries from playing high school football. Quoting: VERDICT Life was normal before this. I had ambitions and goals. Everything was going great for me. Soon after, I became addicted to heroin and cocaine. I battled this for a few years as it sucked away all of my life force. Nothing else mattered to me but the feeling of being numb. It took everything from me. I overdosed on cocaine at the age of 20 after losing my mom to cancer. My dad died while I was in jail of a heart attack. I relapsed after only one month of being out of jail. Down to nothing, it took a miracle for me to seek help. My girlfriend lied to me and told me she was pregnant with my child in hopes I would change. I turned myself in, and have been in rehab ever since. I've been clean for 2 and 1/2 years now and have come to some amazing realisations. What is the purpose for drugs in America? Is it so formerly successful people like me can be led astray? I am deeply upset that the US allows Afghanistan to produce 90% of the world's heroin supply. Any thoughts on the war on drugs? It seems like a huge profit game for our government. so you want AMERICAN grown opium? |

Some People can handle "Drugs", yes no doubt but in my work i never met one who can handle "Opiates and Opioide" in a long term! @ Op, what kind of Rehab? Do you know that that the People in India, which produce together with Tasmania, the majority of the pharmaceutical Opiates have not enough Opiates for their own People because they need to sale everything to the US? In fact many of the Cancer Patients in India are crying in Agony until they get some Morphines from Europe or USA but they are highly Expensive and not many People can pay for it! G.Y.!B.E. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 7975617 United States 02/16/2012 01:53 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Interesting how the Taliban eradicated Poppy production only to see the US topple the Taliban and send Poppy production through the roof. In fact, the US had a chance to napalm the poppy fields and chose not to. Why? Condy Rice said it would collapse the Pakistan economy. You can't make this shit up. |
