to anyone that is stuck on the "chance of dying", i was only quoting what i was told. if the doctor embellished the risks, my apologies. my story is not about my "near death" experience, but about the redemption of hope through jesus christ.
I was getting rdy to pull the BULLLSHIT FLAG. I never heard of dieing from withdraw or seizures from opiate W/d. Maybe my research is wrong but i never heard of that. It makes sense at such a "high dose" but i was pretty sure that only related to stimulant. benzos...etc.
Odds of death occuring from Oxy withdrawal are very very low. Definitely not 25%. Benzo and Alcohol are far more risky for withdrawal. Congratulations on your journey in a positive direction. Keep going! I just want to clarify the above fact as the way you state it may scare folks away from getting clean.
If you think 200 mg of oxycontin a day is bad, try several grams of heroin per day. Oxy is kiddie shit compared to dope. And by the way, a little over-dramatized here, it is extremely rare for anyone to die from opiate withdrawal, almost never happens, especially from an oral/snorted oxy habit.
@tch2296 my friend there is NO...NO difference between the two..both are IDENTICAL in power/rush/nod.. the only difference and its tiny is the chemical make up.. H converts through the BBB and enzymes into Morphine instantly so all H users are addicted to morphine which by the way is about a THIRD the strength of oxy.. but you are right about the detox..no one will die from detox/w/d its just the usual junkie rationale to NOT quit.
@tch2296 yes its over dramatized. and it seems like its scripted. withdrawls are bad though. If this guy got a miracle from God he should be thanking God -detox is miserable. if one has a heart condition it would be very hard on them since it shoots your pressure thru the roof.
I've had 3 elective cosmetic surgeries, my tonsils out, and a serious head injury. All painful. Each time I was prescribed pain killers - not Oxycontin, but Percocet and/or Vicodin - and each time I elected to take regular Tylenol instead, just because the Rx meds were so nauseating. And each time I was fine. These types of drugs shouldn't be prescribed unless you're on your deathbed. They're just too addictive and almost all pain can be treated successfully much more conservatively.
oh god I feel everything you said . everything you said is so true !!! I hope you got better . I did and I am so thankful =) . but ya know even though I have been off of them I cant but help but still think of them from time to time . But I dont think I will ever go back down that road again bc its just to hard to do it all over again .
I found the CURE for addiction and I have proof for this claim. Click on my name and witness Powerful Stories of Freedom. I personally know and have witnessed over 100 addicts who have found True and Lasting FREEDOM after being enslaved by their addictions for so long. I have been through many programs for my addiction, but have never found so much Hope, Joy, Peace, and Love than I have in the program I am in now. And the people I know who have given their stories are experiencing the same!
Im hooked on roxies i have to snort one as soon as i wake up and then maybe one more before bed im getting gradually more and more each day and spending more money to feel the same and the fucked up thing is my doctor has me on them for my bad back 30 30mg pills and 28 days between visits six months now started out with like a quarter a day but my xanex and lortabs a take at least4 to 5 of each a day. Considering going to rehab very soon!
@gabrielm724 i feel ur pain but i am still addicted...i have to do it just to feel normal :( i am a master manipulator, a lier and a thief and it sis every thing i have despised and i hate who i have become!!! i have stolen from my family, work and friends, i have a girlfriend who i love and im lieing to her too im so fucked and i cant tell her cuz i dont wanna lose her :'( i used to do cocaine but i only did it on the weekends, i didnt need it to function and i had it sum what under control.
hey man congratz i was hooked on that this to man i tell ya its not fun man cant say im clean but im doing better kinda i am on the methadone program and slowly working my way off of it its the easy way out but its a way out you know
Hey all, I'm prescribed 240 80mg Oxycontin and 180 2mg Xanax bars a month for my cystic fibrosis and am willing to help anybody out who is in pain and needs some meds for real cheap but can't afford a doctor for whatever reason. I have a lot leftover which I'm not using. Send me a message on here if interested.....
Just wanna say thanks for all your comments. I appreciate reading your honest views, even if they are against me. I hope this doesn't provoke more hate mail, but just want you to know that if you are trying to hurt me, it does. Nevertheless, the encouraging words make it worth it.
@gabrielm724 so amazing! i absolutely believe in what you said about the holy spirit. My sister is currently going through oxy withdrawal and she came clean telling us everything.a few months ago my brother,mother and I got together and prayed for Jesus to work on her heart and open her eyes to what she is doing and he totally answered our prayers! Jesus is amazing!! God bless you and congratulations on your recovery! Keep up the great work, I'm sure you're making Jesus proud!
What the fuck is this shit? 25% chance to die from detox my fucking ass. Why the fuck wasn't that edited out, it just gives addicts another reason to keep using. What a load of shit, just like people giving credit to "god" when they should be thanking all the kind, generous people who helped them through it.
Your not alone man when i was 18 i got hooked i went 9 months taking more than 50 pills a month i was on hydrocodone 10mg and it wasent my family that i told first it was my boss at work he helped me get into treatment and a month later i was off and back at work clean detox is rough its like my dad told me a long time ago and i should have listened if you don't start something you will never have a hard time to get off it
shit i dont see how people get addicted to anything i olny got addicted to weed for a couple months i smoke one cigarette a day because i olny crave 1 cigarette a day, and i do 1 40mg oxy once a week when im low on weed to increase it
i encourage you to gauge whether or not that increases over time. i honestly hope it does not increase and that you are an exception. i am pulling for you.
@Seththeone99 people who talk about how weak people are for messing up are pieces of shit .... all you do is hold people back you are worse then nothing.... you are shit...
@gabrielm724 when i quit doing coke i meet this girl and she did perks, i never did them and i didnt want to, but one day she got me to try it. and the rest dosent matter im in a hole so deep, im in debt around 3,000 dollars and life is hopeless. i really only have two options death and death either way i will no longer b a burden on every1 else that i have hurt.. but i am 2 chicken to kill myself as bad as i want to.. i have a beautiful girlfriend a extremely good job doing carpentry...
I'm a Christian and take my relationship with Jesus VERY seriously. I have my Oxy/Heroin addiction "under control" (80mg oxy per day, NO NEEDLES EVER). I regained control to this degree through weening back and sheer will power with God at my side. Compared to where I was the 3 years prior to getting through a 5 day program is amazing. I also quit drinking alcohol one month ago today. I'd been an alcoholic for the last 30 years, so the booze was almost a bigger problem than the opiates.
continued- I started taking Oxy for medicinal problems 6 years ago. The habit grew into an addiction and I still need to use small amounts for the chronic illness. Jesus stood by me, and by His grace I never committed any crime to feed my habit. I have a well paying job so I could afford my drugs, but it ate up years worth of my savings. God's Love gets me through 1 day at a time. Good luck man and NEVER give up! Suicide is a long term solution to a short term problem...
80mg a day is actually an extremely high dose of opiates. That's equivalent to 16 5mg percosets. that is good that you never shot up. but im trying to quit oxycontin and im using 80mg a day and its extremely hard to quit.. (missed pass 3 days of work).. goodluck to your road to recovery.
that is great randy109. i know alcohol addiction is such a difficult addiction because of it being so available and more acceptable to society compared with other addictions. i can not imagine the effort that must have taken after 30 years. i would encourage you to take an unbiased look into your addiction being "under control" and make sure you are being fully honest with yourself. by no means am i saying that you aren't, i just don't want you to end up where i was. take care.
Im only about a minute in, but its really the truth.
I had NEVER stolen anything in my life, and I despised thieves. After a complete addiction, then losing my job.. I stole from everyone in my family.. And all my best freinds.
I dont share youre views but I too am an addict and have battled this since I was 14 years old and im 21 now and it is hard as hell ive been on methadone,subutex and suboxone ive been on it all and nothin worked WHY? because i didnt want it too...im so happy you found something HOPE weather god did it or a nice nurse you have been blessed my friend you really ot me thinkin of turning to the lord. keep youre head high brother. from one opie. addict to another i love you man
thank you so much for the message. sorry i have taken so long to respond, but it was hard enough for me just to post the video. i would love to know how you are doing when you get a chance. take care.
@gabrielm724 Hey bro if it wasn't for your post on Oxy's my current addiction would've taken a turn for the definite worse...my addiction started when my folks decided (being doctors at that) that in 1990 it'd be a good idea to put me on ritalin at age 11 this only led to coke, E pills and snorting ritalins themselves. Where I'm at right now I'm all burned out so bad on stimulants (I just finished 6 years parole for drugs) that glass/ice does nothing to me.
Sometimes I think God lets people get to their lowest ebb to realise their need of him maybe. Great video, though the cynical side of me thinks its a slick christian production to get converts..... but as long as its coming from ur heart its a good testimony
i think that is very accurate in regards to God. and i don't blame you for being skeptical cause i am a skeptic myself. i know it would be difficult for me to believe coming from anyone else. i am thankful i do not have to.
