Bboy, I think there are open minded people here that can see both sides.

I know sub isnt perfect and some people have bad experiences with it.

I know sub sucked for you and I was so happy you found methadone. But you dont come on here and imply that those of us doing well on sub are high and will wale up one day and realize how bad sub is. You dont imply that we are lifers and are spreading pro sub propaganda.

I consider myself sober and in recovery. Im proud I am on sub and proud of how far I have come. I dont want to come to a recovery forum where we are suppose to respect the decisions of others and get insulted.

It works better here when people stic to sharing their own experience. Use the word "I" when posting, not the word "you." Dont assume that everyone has had or will have the same beliefs or experiences. Be respectful of the decisions of others.

You bboy do a pretty good job of that. Others, not so much.

Phew, you’re in a hard spot, no doubt about it. You have some serious physical issues you’re dealing with and you still have a lot of resentment and hate for where you’re at. I can’t say that I blame you, but I can say those resentments aren’t doing you any damn good. I’m absolutely not trying to be an ass about your situation, not at all. I’m just saying that all the hate you have right now is not good for you. If I were you, I’d get in with some kind of counselor….pronto.

Please don’t take offense to anything I say, I’m honestly only trying to help, OK?

Sitting in the dark while blasting Joy Division and bawling your eyes out ain’t helping you either. Somehow, you need to stop doing that. Turn the lights on or go outside and just sit on the porch for a few minutes at a time. Find a new CD to listen to, turn on the radio instead. Indulging in self pity isn’t getting you anywhere…..and you know that.

I know this is gonna sound impossible, but you have to find some way to get out of your head, Chelsea. As long as you sit there focusing on all of your symptoms, all you’re gonna experience is those symptoms. Forcing yourself to get up and do shit right now is HARD AS HELL, I know it is, but it’s also about the best way forward.

As for the fluids, have you tried Gatorade or even Pedialyte? Those drinks have important electrolytes that will help your body.

Also, can you ask your doctor about the Imodium? Taking Imodium for a week or so may help you, but not hurt you enough to where you rebound?
