im really happy he managed to stop. if he died, i think me, along with many other 3dg fans, would die too. naomi is really sweet she didnt leave him :)

Adam is the best. im glad he stopped his addiction. if he died, my music world would crumble because then tdg wouldnt sing..

There are two idiots who just don't understand

@lesterclaypool1 you dont get 100%

you get 90 at least

ever heard of doing cottons? that doing the opiate residue from the drug you cooked up but either way whatever.

and i am going to listen to your advice im going to get neuratin or howver you spell it soon

@TakeyoLifebitch

What you were experiencing was the bio availability of the drug, as opposed to the habit.

You smoke an op, or gear, and you only get something like half the bio availability of the drug as opposed to IV where you get almost 100 percent. The ritual is still there for all of them.

Do yourself a favor, bro: Hit up your family doc for Gabapentin (say you're having migraines). It's a nice thing to have when you're out of gear. Look up "Gabapentin for opiate withdrawal" online.

@lesterclaypool1 disagreed. im a heroin user..when i was just railing and smoking ops i swear the habit was much easier to bare and and much easier to deal with when you didnt have something(though everyone is different). many years of this shit and iv seen quite alot..shit that makes me cringe. one thing i have seeen is that change from non iv to iv. and its ALOT different man, it really is.. needle turns you into a much worse junkie

[lesterclaypool1]

@TakeyoLifebitch

People who use orally or nasally have as many rituals as IV users. It's all equally hard to quit because you want your habits if using as well as the drug itself. There's an old junkie saying: You can use your nose of your vein to hit the brain but the hustle is all the same.

To the poster: Have you any idea the name of the girl conducting the formal interview? My wife is positive they went to high school together.

[Soccerstargal306]

@SpawnSmash i've done those before, and trust me, the first time you try one, you instantly want another. i honestly can't imagine how him, let alone anyone with a drug addiction can get over it. its nearly impossible

[RamonGontier]

I'm so proud of him for getting the strength to stop. 3DG fans everywhere love you Adam!

[MrKurttaylor1]

Great for him, But the truth is pain is the most traumatic and horrible sense we have...there is nothing wrong with treating your pain with pain relievers when it's done with your doctor...it's only a less than ideal situation because he was using illegally. Plain and simple guys! Use your head.

[TakeyoLifebitch]

least he didnt use the needle..would of been a much harder habit to have quit..
