So much respect, my friend.
Ah man how I wish I'd never taken that first pill. Opiate withdrawal makes cocaine withdrawal seem like a walk in the park. I mean it really was, when I kicked cocaine I didn't have any physical symptoms when I came off it. My head was a mess but my body was good.
Now the physical withdrawal is what's holding me back. Once that's out of the way and I just have my head to deal with I'll be in a better place.

Neither am I Dee to be fair. Unfortunately a lot of the opiate replacement programs round here are underfunded and take a couple of weeks to assess you and prescribe you with something. It's not ideal but it is what it is.

I've been using subutex (suboxone without the naloxone). It's a very very low dose and it's in transdermal patches. They're just enough to keep me from kicking but I still feel like crap.
