A pleasure to read, Matt. I love the moments of realization/clarity you include in these. And even though we've never met in person, I'm so glad that you're alive to write about your experiences rather than the other way around.
Recall reading stories of people with thousand dollar per day habits quitting cold turkey and taking loperamide by the hundreds. If you take enough, they do in fact cross the blood brain barrier, but its a nasty, unenjoyable buzz. Just take enough to be able to function in withdrawal, or find some suboxone and trade 5 days of sick for 2+ months of sick.
Some dude on bluelight or reddit claimed his heroin habit was so bad he had to take 100 lope just to knock the edge off. Bet he literally shit a brick at some point. Build a house on those turds.

That makes two of us! Thanks, Maegan.

Hundreds?? Damn, there's a good story in there somewhere.

I had to read the bit about getting stabbed a couple of times before I realised you weren’t just being crassly metaphorical like most of us.
These memoir posts are so engaging, and as Maegan said I’m glad you’re still here with us.
Btw had to look up Dr. Silkworth, not what I first guessed.
Thank you! And yes, I’ve fortunately never had the pleasure of being stabbed.
Fooled me on that one. Mission Accomplished!
