My friend told me this.

Post by Comfi » Sun Mar 03, 2013 4:08 am

'I work in an environment where prescription drugs are available in an undiminished supply. So it made sense that I tried these out. I order the drugs, check the orders coming in and can get away with some of these boxes going missing. The drugs I am speaking of are not held within any particular class; opioids, benzodiazepines, muscle relaxants, nerve pain-killers, sleeping pills like zolpidem (stillnoct, ambien and other brand names), among others. What I am doing is illegal but I can't stop. Working in this environment makes it easy to score a hit.

I have told a friend but he doesn't understand. I am addicted to nicotine (though I don't smoke much anymore -- e-cigs ftw), caffeine and most worryingly dihydrocodiene. When i am in work and I pass these pills, i am drawn to them. They are there and so am I. At first 2-3 of the 30 mg pills worked to get me where I wanted to be; energetic focused and feeling good. Obviously the more I had the more it would take to get me to the place I craved. I am finding it hard to stop.'

I am worried about my friend, opiates are addictive. diamorphine (heroin), morphine, oxycodone and codeine/dihydrocodeine are all opiates and have the same addictive properties, and i am scared for my friend. Has anyone ever been in a situation like this? If so, what measures helped you cut down and/or stop consumption of opiates? Is it a case of cold turkey or a gradual discontinuation of usage? How might one overcome addiction when faced with the substance in a working environment, in a full time job? I know that addiction is a serious issue, having (attempted) stopping smoking numerous times.

I don't wanna see my friend lose his job, friends, family and girlfriend over something as trivial as an addiction (I use the word 'trivial' in the loosest sense). I have noticed that he has not been 100% from the new year and I fear that this is all down the his 'experimentation'.

Really though I am not really expecting answers or constructive comments, but I have to let my frustrations out somewhere. SNH seemed like a good place to go.

Also I feel the need to add that he has been prescribed these drugs to deal with physical pain, and if he asks his doctor for more, he will get them.

Stop. FOCUS. Stop. Look at what you have, and see what you have to lose. Sometimes this is just the way it is though.

I find the only way I stop indulging is to not have it around.
Quit and/or lose the friend. Do it now.

This.

Also, I find it highly unlikely that he's not going to eventually get caught if he continues to do it

lost 2 friends to opiate overdoses. out of the friends who are still alive who were addicted to pills, they were three of my best friends in highschool, all now around 5 years sober, minus caffeine and nicotine. if you need to quit, i see complete sobriety as the only solution.. if not, you end up relapsing... thats what they have told me. they cant even drink a beer because all it makes them want is heroin. good luck to your friend.

Not a recommendation per se, but - Ibogaine is worth investigating for its habit breaking properties.

That's not what I meant. STAHP. At the end of the day its not heroin. He won't die from an OD from codiene. It's impossible. Though if by life you mean friends girlfriend and job then no, that's not in any way trivial. I am talking about the addiction itself.

an addict will only pop codeine for so long, and even if they don't move long to oxys or dope, the APAP from codeine pills will kill them, unless they're doing CWE's

^ that .gif is too much

re OP's mate: all the hard drug users I've known who have gone clean did it off their own back. Family/friends telling them to stop didn't do anything. You'll need to make old boy stop himself somehow. Make him watch Trainspotting? I dunno, sorry.

I have to agree with bag, the people I've seen get clean with others support have always relapsed.
