I was addicted to fentnyl for 5 years straight. All day everyday I had to have it or I would literally be shaking out of control and throwing up and not able to control my bowels or sleep. It's insane the sickness you get once you try to stop using it, I did the rehab thing 6 times and finally kicked the habit by switching to methadone for a year and slowly getting my life back together during that year. Methadone has insane withdrawal effects as well and to be honest they are ten times worse than fentnyl withdrawals and last about 30-40 straight days of pure hell. HOWEVER! if you wean yourself down by like 1mg per week by the time your down to just a MG or two a day you don't really notice all that much when you quit all together. The methadone just helped me with time, and by that I mean I didn't have to chase dope and dope money all day so I had time to get a job and get a house and a car and get my life back together to where I was actually able to quit. When your broke living on the streets or jumping from whatever house you can stay at it's almost impossible to quit because you become so depressed. I was fortunate enough to be blessed with looks and as sad as it is I used woman to support my habit. I would mess with there emotions and play with there hearts to have places to stay and most of them didn't know I was using but some did and tried to help me get clean. I have so many regrets from those 5 years in the shadows but man oh man does it make you really appreciate the small things like just paying bills and having a home and people who love me for me instead of how much dope is in my pocket… If you are struggling with addiction out there and read this feel free to message me. I work for a rehab now and I can help you quit or tell you the easiest ways to get it done. PEACE AND LOVE EVERYONE!
Drug addicts ONLY use fentynal now. If it doesnt have it they wont use it.
i always said shootin heroin was liike a hug from jesus thats weird but as much asi loved that been sober 5 years off opaites just a matter of tiome till youll die bc the life i led ik at least 3 ppl a year that die and im in small town america
to be clear, crack and cocaine technically are the same thing. but they do not have the same effect on your body. the effects of crack on your body is so much more intense than coke, after i did crack (only for a weekend, i knew it would burn me if i did it any more) anyway after i tried crack i haven't even considered coke, even if the shits in the room and homies trying to give me a bump for free 🙃
Maybe all those crack babies are the ones running around burning everyone else shit up in 2020….
