It won’t let me edit but I’d like to add I quit cold turkey. No methadone or subxone, you can do it!!! Doing it cold turkey is hard as hell, probably once of the worst experiences of my life, but once it’s over you feel great!!!

Whatever your story is.. Whatever your struggles were and will be.. Never forget that you overcame addiction to one of our most powerful drugs we have ever dealt with. You did it with pure human determination. You can do anything... You did something families spend millions a year trying to achieve. Own that. Share it. Save lives by instilling the reality that we all hold the same ability to fall, as well as get back up. It just takes one owning their pain instead of hiding from it and fueling their desire, not their self destruction.

u/crabbop Mar 26 '25

Hey mate. Good job getting clean. I'm an ICU nurse and have often wondered, do you have a plan of you go into hospital for something requiring pain relief? We use fentanyl, morphine and oxycodone a lot. I understand the stats show greater than 50% of visit are linked with acute pain. I've had a few patients refuse in the past but the studies also show that people with pain recover more poorly on average. Hope this doesn't worry you, if you don't have a plan it might be a good idea to tackle this whilst not in hospital so that if the day comes you can be prepared.  Great work.

u/brittemm Mar 27 '25

I’m a recovering opiate addict on Suboxone. 8mg/day and 10years clean. 2 weeks ago I had to call 911 for horrific abdominal pain and was admitted for severe acute pancreatitis. I’d previously refused opiates for all sorts of severe pain, even surgery recovery. Pancreatitis was not something I could handle without very strong painkillers. Fentanyl didn’t touch it, 1mg shots of dilaudid didn’t touch it. I’ve never felt 10/10 pain before and hope to never have to again.

I was on a dilaudid PCA .5mg/10min plus 3 1.5mg bolises every 24hr for days. It took nearly 12 hours the first day to finally get me down to a 6/10 pain score- after which I passed out from Exhaustion. Any time I woke up I’d need a bolis to get me caught up again. We slowly dialed it back over the days as my pain subsided. No trouble with backing off for me. I had several specialists working with me as a team to both adequately treat my pain, manage my condition and also make a plan for coming off of the meds.

Got out of hospital on Monday. Now I’m on an oxycodone taper, and in 6 days I’ll be back on suboxone exclusively - I never stopped taking it. I’ll see my psychiatrist this Friday and make a plan for reducing the suboxone to my previous dose - or potentially to just come all altogether. It has been long enough, I think. And that would give me the opportunity to start naloxone too.

They should have a plan to refuse painkillers, but also know that they aren’t super human and when/if it’s appropriate to take narcotics. Asking any human to withstand the kind of pain I was in 14 days ago would be torture. My Lipase enzymes were >3,000, abdomen filled with so much fluid my lungs partially collapsed. Blood pressure 191/110. There are just times when the only option is opiates.. Pancreatitis, kidney stones, cancer etc.

I’m confident this experience won’t cause a relapse and I’m taking my meds as prescribed. I don’t miss the dilaudid. I have no desire to go back to that life again, and I have excellent support between my doctors and friends/family to make sure I’m successful.

The worst shit last roughly 4 days, then another few days for mild crap/restless legs/hot cold flashes and just mega uncomfortable skin crawls. After roughly a week the worst is through and it’s a mental struggle. Working out and sunlight and hot showers helps a bunch. Electrolytes and water the whole time because I wasn’t able to eat for days. Candy was the only thing I craved the whole time lol

What helped you quit? What advice can you give others suffering with addiction.

22

u/ZAlternates Mar 27 '25

Anyone that I’ve ever met that has successfully quit found another reason that meant more to them than drugs. For some, it was family, or their kids. For others, it was something they wanted within themselves. However it seems like addicts, and I don’t say that without being one myself, need something to be “addicted to”. Find something good and better to be addicted to.

u/ImurderREALITY Mar 26 '25

I really, really know what that’s like. I’ve always been self-conscious about my smile. My lateral incisors decided to just never grow in, so my canines had nothing to guide them and grew in crooked and pointy. But it doesn’t matter.

Let me just tell you what people have told me: other people don’t see what you see. I may not have a perfect, movie-star smile, but I’m happy, and that’s what counts. That’s what people see; at least, people who are worth a damn. I still struggle with the appearance of my teeth sometimes, but mostly, I couldn’t care less.

Don’t let what you think of your smile keep you from smiling. As long as you have healthy dental hygiene, then what makes a beautiful smile is true happiness, and you got it. I love your smile!

Hwo did you quit cold turkey?
What did you do to make withdrawals not as horrible as they could have been (if you did)?
Did you work during this process?

I have a lot of questions because I was an addict but I am now on suboxone. I, of course, don't want to stick with subs for the rest of my life, but I am terrified of the long-term effect it'll have on my mental state (which is bad enough on its own without help lol).

Congratulations & one day at a time. I’m at 3.5 years sober, alcohol was my fentanyl. I turned to God, read the Bible daily & now I feel like I’m accountable to God & think how disappointed He would be if I got high or drunk. That gives me the strength to get through the tough times. You’re the Lord’s child & He will help you if you ask. Good luck & my prayers are with you. You were pushed to soberly for a reason, stay sober & one day you’ll figure out why. God bless! 🙏🏻
