Kurt Cobain and William S. Burroughs. The Burroughs quote below still rings true for me even though I havent used heroin since 2015. I still have that "Spidey-sense" that tells me someone near is holding.
It’s been a little over 5 years since I’ve done IV drugs, every now and then I’ll notice my track marks randomly and it quickly brings me back to those times where I’d waste hours and hours trying to get my shot. Sometimes it feels so real and unbelievable that I was even that way, I hate to say it but giving up drug use has been so challenging because that’s the only way I knew how to cope with whatever life decided to throw at me, better yet it helped me forget how real feelings are and that being in this 3 dimensional world is so challenging for sensitive people like myself. Grieving drugs is unlike anything else, until you have first hand experienced what that feels like there’s nothing else to relate it too. It’s like a part of myself died when I made the decision to change my life around, and I’m grateful I did. I’m just saying that sometimes I struggle with day to day things, like loving myself or wanting to escape reality because I feel so misunderstood and different from a lot of people. I don’t work a program, meetings were never my thing and to be honest it’s way too depressing for my liking anyways. I guess I just have a lot on my mind tonight and needed to write some shit down, so here ya gooooooo :)
fr tho this pain medicine aint shit i was supposed to take my next dose two hours ago but didnt notice bc it doesnt make much difference. at all. disappointed.
My anxiety
stays deep inside of me
when i'm just trying,
trying to stay in my sobriety,
trying to make them proud of me
hopin' they'll see
what addictions done to me,
left me in a corrupt society
clinging onto sobriety,
when recovery has no guarentee
yet i'm trying so hard,
with everything inside of me.
i finally met my best friend after 10 years, we’ve dated off & on the whole time we’ve known each other. she had my god daughter almost 2 years ago & since we’ve “talked” some but haven’t dated since baby was born. we met one week ago and in one week i’ve decided to move across the country to be with her & help her raise baby girl. is this the smartest thing ever? probably not but it feels so right in my heart. i’ve never felt so safe and at home in my entire life, i don’t ever want these feelings to end. so in a couple days i’m leaving everything i know and have built for myself and driving 1.9k miles to start a family with my best friend??? feels surreal
Well.. I relapsed. Couldn’t make it barely 24 hours before the withdrawal symptoms got so bad, it felt like I had only one choice. I am very disappointed in myself & I’m also scared.. I only have a few more days to get on suboxone and then I have to go back to work. I was hoping I could use the time I took off work to completely detox and taper off suboxone.. but idk if I can now so I think I fucked up majorly again. Fuck. Idk what to do.
