I should of addressed this post personally and apologize for not doing it sooner. I am in the same exact boat except a few years behind. Stole a 160 from my mom in high school and split it with like ten friends but I actually didn't get heavy into opiates until my last year of college at University of Maryland... so close to Baltimore which is an awesome but also dirty and Dope filled port city. I just barely graduated and it was with a fine arts degree so all I was doing in the end was making music and I could still do that fucked up. Got started on the good old OC 80s... jumped over to opanas when they changed to OP formula and then I met a guy... in 'the program' and he was the first person to shoot me up. Real outstanding person right??
For me... I had to leave everything and everyone I one I knew. I will have four years Dope,Coke, etc free in June (I was chemically dependent on opiates but a fiend when it came to IV cocaine... specially the mix of the two) But now ... it's actually been long enough for me to look at the scars on my arms and legs and feet and hands and even my fucking chest... anywhere to spike a vein... but now i get sick to my stomach remembering all the abscesses, the jail cells, and the pain i caused every single person who cared about me and who I cared about. Of course some days are harder than others. I order a lot of marijuana goodies on the darknet so I know a bag of Dope is only a couple bitcoins away at this day in age... I have found growing very therapeutic for my obsession issues and of course ultimately supporting my own habit means cutting myself off from all drug sources... which will help. I haven't had a day that bad yet... but i know it's coming... and when it does I don't want to think of the Dope being only a click away.
Grow from seed, enjoy your weed, it's all we need
I'm sorry you suffered from the big ole Perdue opiate epidemic as well... it really cut deep into the older millennial generations like us
Good luck... but it's not about luck
Be proud of yourself. I have so many friends still suffering.
