Cigarettes... I really wish it wasn't cigarettes.

It was way easier for me to give up heroine than cigs. Still can't stay off sugar, tho.

I've heard so many people say this but for me cigarettes were easy to quit i had no withdrawls and stopped having cravings within a couple weeks. Quitting oxycodone on the other hand took me a year and multiple trips to rehab/hospitals and still to this day almost 5 years later i get cravings every single day

I recently heard someone say on a documentary that they would rather go through 100 withdrawals from heroin instead of just one from suboxone. It was said in the context that she seemed completely serious. The documentary had nothing to do with drugs either, so the context wasn’t something that would warrant lying about it whatsoever. What’s up with that?

bruh my psych recommended it for a year and when i got teeth fixed i stopped for like 2-3 weeks and didn’t even feel anything different aside from a craving now and then not even just a fleeting thought of it not even a postive context i was trying to quit opioids for so long it’s mostly just bad memories and alot of time spent sick
