Better out than in.... tell us how ya really feel! LoL
Just giving ya shit buddy. I can relate to these struggles more than ya know. Lived 8 years of my life addicted to heavy painkillers & muscle relaxers. Those "medications" destroyed me and everyone around me, finally landing me in jail for a medication related DWI.
The harsh reality sets in about how much you've screwed up when not a single family member would come bond me out. I rode out that whole 30 day sentence, in the clink. But.... I finally detoxed.
After getting out of jail, I was actually able to repair my marriage and relationship with my kids.
I'm also in a prohibited state, so it took awhile before I even thought about trying cannabis. After the chaos of the arrest had died down, i started trying cannabis to treat the conditions that had been previously treated with opiates, benzos, and sleep pills.
Surprise.... surprise... Not only do I get relief... but I get better pain relief than I have had in years. I realized there was no way to control the type of buds I got on the street, so I started growing my own.
Never looking back.
I'm always proud to hear a good rant about transitioning away from opiates.

Stay lifted y'all
