Yup exactly Doc its crazy how everything revolves around that fear. I remember a few times getting some money and having enough stuff for like 2 weeks and that fear was gone for a few days, yea the addiction still sucked but that fear was so constant and intense.

Asleep or dopesick ...that pretty much sums up my addiction. Miserable way to live.

One of our biggest obstacles as addicts is "Addict thinking" which covered perfectly with "Ahh, I'll find some in the morning or whatever..." The other one, and the bigger problem for me is "Junkie Math". I'll look at how many pills or bags I have, "Let's see, I've got nine 30's, four 10's and my guy is in the City until Tuesday. Let's see, I'm GONNA snorkle three 30's in a minute here...go to sleep with two of the 10's...carry the I'm screwed...GOT IT; I'll Cut the remaining 30's in HALF! Because the HALVES will somehow SEEM like the full 30 here in Mr. Junkie's Neighborhood."

I always SWORE I was gonna save my "morning bag" but I was TERRIBLE at this. It NEVER happened and I was invariably broke, there were no drugs, no cigarettes, nada, and there I was, trying to go back to sleep and act like it wasn't going to be EXACTLY like every other morning. I'm eternally grateful for my sobriety and that I can look back on it and laugh at myself, but it was anything but funny while I was going through it.

I used to wake up after 3-4 hours sick and needed more to go back to sleep, it sucked. If I had none I’d be up sweating and cold 🥶 then sick eventually.

Lived this 4 3 decades. Thank God I'm out of that rat race. Thank God!!!!

I always used to save something for the morning as there is nothing worse than waking up soaking wet and withdrawing, then having to make something happen to feel better.

Crazy man. I remember how the withdrawal would wake me up out of my sleep sometimes if i didnt do enough to get me through the night. Then I'd be stuck there.....writhing in withdrawal.

One thing I'll say is you can be sick as heck and not want to do anything but you get call from the dope man and damn if don't have the energy to get there lol

So accurate. Wake up tired, then heart's pounding and stomach cramp.

Great video! A universal truth for all of us. I am, without fail, sick by morning, sometimes I'll awake at 5 already sick. I try, if I can't save a pill or whatever else, make sure that I have a Xanax or two. Xanax keeps nearly all withdrawal symptoms away, except for nausea, and you get Zofran for that and you're golden until you finish your shopping.

Every time i go to a rehab i MUST use first cause the intake is suck a process u cant sit there shiting and puking on yourself filling out forms and answering questions. Man your videos are some of the best on this subject 👍 i hope we all who are in this make it out and stay out best luck to all.

@shaunc5102 I could never go to work when I was sick. I couldn't even pretend to muster up a smile. I drop off FAST...I wake up with moderate w/d; rapid fire sneezing...energy already sapped. By 3pm I will be bed bound and nausea will begin signaling the severe vomiting to come that evening. I suppose it's the price for throwing 22 years into maw of dope. In a kind of recovery now...tapering. But now I'm having dope dreams every night where I'm in a pharmacy and the druggist says, "Here's your liquid Oxycodone, sir." Thank YOU, my good sir! Or I make somebody for their stash and I'm tearing ass towards my ride before the dude can hit me with a slug. Craving dreams are so realistic. I have a dream where I FIND a duffel bag in an airport toilet. Inside is a key of Coke and also a key of h. I awake and am euphoric over my good fortune! I reach above, feeling along my headboard for the duffel bag. When it dawns on me it was a dream, I cried. Pathetic!

I use to wake up constantly throughout the night to used

I must be different i always went 24hrs without using b4 i started feeling dopesick. 20yr hardcore opioid addiction. 6 years clean now

What kind of addicts are you guys, ive been addicted to smoking, drinking and dope starting at age 9 due to childhood sexual abuse, anytime ive been opiate sick, there is no freaking way I'm laying down let alone sleeping with bloody crazy legs, feet, arms, hands, and the high from mostly all opiates except morphine lasts around 4 hours before you have to start chasing your high, after the very first time, if you continue, you are no longer doing opiates to get high, your doing them to stay unsick. I'm not the only one that has these issues almost everyone I've talked to has the same feelings. Peace and much love sent from Ontario, Canada.

I was just like you. I always planned to save some for the morning, but my gluttonous ass always ended up to shoot everything, and next morning was pure hell. Then I went to my dealer, and the cycle continues like that

Yeppp my life for about 9yrs and I'd never save for next day I was one that said I'll figure it out in am just like u said so glad I broke those chains miserable life that was 🙏

I got so dopesick kicking a 12 month fentanyl habit that I was too dopesick to go score more fentanyl so I could stop being dopesick. Just ride it out. Might be 2 weeks, maybe 4 weeks. The day will come when you finally feel better.

I always saved some for the morning other wise I would never be able to get more.within enough time..

Money was never my issue it was finding them and making sure the pills weren’t fake

Methadone withdrawals are the worst. I was going through it for 2 months I don't think I ever returned back to normal even after 6-7months sure I felt better.... Oxy and everything else is bad enough but methadone is a whole other story.

​@@boofingenthusiast The issue is, if methadone is being abused, there are only 2 to 3 rehab centers willing to treat methadone abuse at any given time. Due to the fact that methadone is so addictive & difficult to treat. Plus a person in a medically assisted treatment program will catch hell if they want to eventually taper off of methadone eventually, in most cases. Which leaves the person to figure it out on their own. A person's choice to eventually stop methadone treatment should be respected (everyone's desires & needs are different), but it doesn't always happen in practice. The goal when developing methadone was to create a pain killer that was stronger & less addictive then morphine. Plus could be synthesized internally in Germany, without foreign componets. They learned they could not the morphine precursors in WW1, and wanted to avoid this during the cease fire between ww1&2. Being developed in 1932, methadone failed at being stronger then morphine, and turned out to be more addictive. This is half of the reason I won't switch to methadone for chronic pain treatment (and the prolonged qt cycle issue). The other half of the reason is, there are still a lot of pain doctors & other doctors that still view it as an "addict's" drug. It just not woth the risk of getting a crapy doctor that refuses to keep up with their continuing education if I need to move to a different town.

The guys from the band The Mother Hips were dopesick before a show in Baltimore. They went to the ghetto to cop, ended up getting robbed for everything, even their pants! They had to go back to the venue half-naked, still dopesick, no money, and had to do the show...

I always saved something for the morning otherwise I would not enjoy my high and have severe anxiety and panic attacks that night thinking wtf am I gonna do in the morning.

Shooting everything that night and then while you're high you coming up with crazy (unrealistic) plans to get money in the morning 😢

Really bad part of fent and RCs like U4 is you can’t even make it 6-8 hours before getting sick. When I couldn’t find any dogfood I’d keep a rig or two, burner and bag of whatever fent/RC I had on my nightstand. Wake up, bang, sleep, repeat. Never had that problem with heroin though, luckily I got good stuff.

With U-47700 I’d have to redose like 4 times or more a night. That stuff is worse than fent. So caustic too. Collapsed veins and bloody noses within a day. The war on drugs is a failure. If people could get pure, reliably dosed heroin these RCs and fentalogues wouldn’t be such an epidemic. Far less ODes would occur. Sad.

Its so hard to save for the next day 🤣🤣🤣

Tramadol has very long legs... I know it's not a real opioid. It's also why I can take it for years and still get pain relief... No desire to graduate to heroin so I can scratch myself, get sick every day, and get arrested (tramadol is OTC in my country. We grow fresh kratom here too, big trees on the farm - WINNING)!!

Never save

Everything stated here is factual. I never did street drugs as during the late ninties - two thousands, I literally had Dr. Feel good. And to really add fuel to my stupidity, the pharmacist I used became a good friend!!! Hang out, fixed his "toys", refurbished an old Honda motorcycle, etc. I tried to hold back but always screwed up. My worst symptoms were RLS, especially left leg, NO sleep, literally crawling to the bathroom, not having the strength to stand to urinate, peeing from my knees into the tub!!! Remember going for the script. Everything seemed to take forever. Waiting on Dr., having to act as normal as possible at the pharmacy, having to make chit chat all the while I am screaming inside...HURRY THE F**K UP!! Getting in the car and eating two or three percs. Thankfully, one day I had enough. Could not go out of town, etc. Got off of it with help and willpower and was able to stop. Thanks for the honesty.

I was on 60ml methadone but lost my script but don't want it back now as it's out my system. just trying to taper down my heroin use as much as possible and try the gabbapentin method to get through the last of the withdrawals. well that's the plan, easier said than done though 🥵🤢🤮🤧🤒😖🥴😴🤤🙂😁

And my stuff would last me 12+ hours. I would sleep 10-12 hours and then wake up still feeling ok but thst was tranq dope because the xylazine gives it legs

Waking up cold ND having to pee every minute

I quit coke and dope over 5 and a half years ago. I do NOT miss that shit

I’m surprised anyone in addiction could go back to sleep for 2-3 hours. I would wake up at 6-7 and be instantly awake because my brain would be going ‘I need drugs. I’ve got no money. How am I going to score a fix and I would be a jittery mess. Luckily in nz the pills we did had legs so you only had to use once in the morning and at night. Though oftentimes it’s was the once and while you might not get high it’ll hold you till you can work out the next possession to pawn sell etc.

I was bad at this

My experience is, if you smoke enough brown, it will last at least 12 hours. I also have a rule not to take methadone or buprenorphine or whatever the first half hour I'm awake. That is cause based on how I feel directly after waking up I would take more than I need; i would feel better or at least less bad anyways half an hour after waking up. (it also takes 2 hours for methadon to work for me.) It's like I'm most vulnerable to dopesick when I just woke up. recognisable?

It’s not just something that happens to the poor or the homeless… I never had to worry about saving some for the morning… One times throughout my entire addiction that I ever had to go without it for financial reasons.
