Trainspotting and Requiem for a Dream. Watch both of those back to back and you'd think it would keep you away from drugs, opiates in particular. For some people, like myself it fuels the inner addict in me. Somehow the good feeling beats out the shitty/worse feeling that it leads to in the end. It's no fun at all and I can totally empathize now with people who have lost everything for it. Most of them are just trying to keep from getting dope sick.
Anyhow... if any of you know someone that can't kick an opiate/heroin/pill addiction, make sure they know about Suboxone and how well it works. You have to WANT to quit for it to work, but it will keep you from getting sick and allows the addict brain to recover while it keeps cravings/sickness away.
There will be a day when I need to stop taking these and a slow slow slow taper off is the only way to do it from what I've read. That's the next battle anyways.
