Anyone notice that Nestlé changed their Smarties tube to a hexagon shaped packet lately.
What was wrong with the tube?? You even got a letter on the back of the cap. Letters like: "G", "K", "B", "I", etc.

I'm talking about the real Smarties, the pastel-colored candy that comes in a roll.
Guess what I found last night? I was at this gigantic liquor store that also had imported food. They had those round tins w/ the berry-flavoured hard candies- you know, the raspberry ones are shaped like raspberries, there are cherry and lemon ones too.
They used to be at all the drug stores, then they just disappeared.
By the way, does anyone remember Chocolate Babies? They were made by the same company that makes Red Hot Dollars. Those Chocolate Babies were great, but I heard they stopped making them because people were offended by the name.

Tired of being in bed all day and the muscle relaxers are wearing off, thought I'd respond. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make it seem like things are so awful. Plus I've gone through withdrawl dozens of times- I just haven't made it longer than 6 days before.
danjersey: All I remember about the Little House episode is Charles locking Albert in a room and Albert shaking, screaming, and his legs kicking ( I've never felt that bad ).
Cult of Frank: That's what always happens- after a couple days, I feel sick and say to myself " (Jimmy), you're a dope fiend, just do what you're supposed to do", and then I drive myself to the big city, to the ghetto.
pixiestu: You're probably right.
cassandra is, BrokenFace: Thank you
Scott P: I think that's good advice, not just for this, but for a lot of things. It's important to keep busy, I always tell friends who are depressed to keep busy. It makes a big difference when you keep busy- it keeps your mind off your problems and it helps to make things better.
And I know I'm lucky: My first three connections are all dead- it's amazing to me, they were nice guys from good homes, in college. Like me, no one would even suspect that they even did dope. ( People are surprised when they find out I smoke cigarettes.)
TRANSMARINE: It's really not that bad, like the flu, kind of depressing too, but no big deal. As far as I know, dope doesn't cause impotence, and I've never had a problem with that and I'm always getting hard for no reason- what I notice after I've gone a couple days without it is girls are flirting with me, but I never notice that when I'm on it.
mosleyk, carl: Once my arms are healed I'm gonna see a doctor and see if I can get some percs, but I really won't need a doctor with this.
A couple years ago I went to a hospitol where they detox you on methadone for five or six days, and that was good, it was like a vacation- got to hang around in my pajamas and slippers, the food was good, caught up on some reading in bed. I started up again 8 days after I got out ( with a connection I made in detox ).
But anyway, I'm sure everything is gonna work out, and I'm still young and ( some people say ) handsome. Everything will be fine. I'm gonna go get a Rodeo burger and some fries.

Now I'm really curious to see what these chocolate smarties are like. If anyone wants to send me a pack I'll send a dollar or an autographed picture of me, whichever you'd like.
For two packs, well, there's a shot of me, shirtless and tan ( a little hair on my chest and what the girls call the "happy trail" ), from last summer that can be all yours.
You can send me a private e-mail if you'd like.
( By the way, before anyone gets the impression that I might be someone who sells themselves to support their habit, really, I never did that- this is all innocent; I get some candy, some lucky forum member gets a picture they can masturbate with- everyone's happy. )

In woolworths the other day they had chocolate orange - mint. I was uncertain. It was half price but I was still suspicious.

It most certainly does cause impotence. Why don't you stay on the 'dope' and find out? You think just because you're young that everything is going to be okay...how old are you? 20? 18? 25? A bunch of shit is going to come down REAL hard before you know it, and no matter how much you think you've primed yourself for it, it's still going to make your head spin. Things are going to get so bad in your life...moreso than you can imagine...so much worse than you can EVER imagine. You already know this, but you can't know the degree until it actually does happen. And then your going to cry and moan like a little baby, and feel so sorry for yourself, and you're going to pretend like you don't care about anything, when in fact you will care oh so much for EVERYTHING, but it won't be there for you as an option anymore...and you're going to lose, lose, lose. All gone. Bye bye. You're not gonna be okay. You're gonna be back on it in no time flat.You're going to find out all this the hard way because it's the only way for you to learn anything. And no one is going to care. I bet this is already happening. But just wait...it get's better!

No, he's not.
First off, he can't even call it HEROIN. He has to use the cool Five-0 terms. Secondly, Jimmy keeps reassuring us of things we never really even feigned interest of in the first place. Third, I thought he was going to be away from the forum for a couple weeks as to nurture his cold turkey (I mean, that was the title of the thread, unless I'm mistaken), and yet he continuosly chimes in with posts teeming with charm and bemusement. Except for the small fact that Jimmy hasn't checked in with us going on two days now. Hmmmm. Perhaps he didn't crack his 6-day record? Even though he insists "Withdrawl isn't that bad, it's just like the flu", he can't make it for more than 6 days...despite that he's gone "through withdrawl dozens of times". Oh! I forgot his 8-day stint under hospitalized methadone detoxification. Sorry about that. The relevence of that case-in-point must have not carried much weight for some strange reason. I will be sure of two things, however. Jimmy is breezy, light, and passive. As is most everyone else here in response, pertaining to this thread. I tilted 'in response' because most here on this forum can see a bullshitter a mile away. And Jimmy's bullshit attitude screams for attention...hoping to recieve a miracle, yet getting nothing but humorous remarks, because others skirting HIS issue will ultimately get Jimmy his intended fix. At least he's still sexy. Then again, we can only go by what he says, right? What else does Jimmy say?

Initially I was skeptical, I suppose because I've never been around heroin at all. But it does seem to be out there, reaching into every sector of society, perhaps even into the enclave of FB patronage. jimmy sounds real to me, as does Transmarine. Trans must speak from some acquaintance, as Carl noted. I've been an addict most of my life, though to nicotine, alcohol, pot. Strange existence which one curses while questioning what the alternative offers. Just glad I never encountered heroin. Good thing acid chases one away when one needs chasing.
I recall that Eric Clapton kicked heroin by replacing it with alcohol, round about his worthy 461 Ocean Boulevard follow-up to Layla. Don't know where he stands today, but it seems somewhere along the line he became addicted to love, poor bastard.

I had to laugh when I read "Let's see some pictures" then I scrolled down and saw a picture of more Smarties.
Hang on, floopy, you really don't believe me? If you don't believe me I'm going to be forced to go out and get some more and do it. I'll do it every day if I have to. Every eight hours, even.
TRANSMARINE, I get the point, I understand exactly what you're saying. Yes, my posts are "teeming with charm" and I appreciate you coming out and saying it. Frankly, it needed to be said. More importantly, I'm "still sexy". Thank you.
Anyway, I'm glad I posted this, if only because I love it when a thread that I start goes beyond 1 page. Everything really is going fine; this past weekend was the hardest, but today I went to work, going again tomorrow. I'm thinking tomorrow I might make some cupcakes with pineapple cake mix and buttercream frosting, but we'll see. Baby steps.

Looking at my last post, it doesn't seem right.
I think I owe it to everyone to be honest, at least this one time.
It's true that everything is alright. It's not all the money that bothers me, and my life and health are in OK shape; it's all the time I wasted: not just 5 years, but 5 years in my twenties.
And it's true I can handle the detox and the sickness. It's never the sickness that brings me back to it. This is going to sound very corny and stupid, but:
( I can't believe I'm writing this, I know I'm going to regret it tomorrow or sooner )
The dope pretty much stops me from feeling any human emotions and a few days after I stop, I start feeling them again.
I mentioned the wet dreams before.
Probably Wednesday or Thursday night, all of my feelings are going to come back- all of them at once. And it's not depression that I'm worried about, it's all the happy feelings. The whole world is going to seem bright and golden, there's going to be a warm breeze going through the trees, and I'm going to feel strong, and excited, and bursting with love and goodwill. I'll want to go into the world and see everybody, not just my friends, but every aquaintance I used to know, and laugh and have fun, and swim, and walk around and sleep outside on the grass. The feeling is too much, and I don't do any of these things.
Every time, that's what gets me. I have to put a stop to it.
So anyway, that's the truth, as stupid as it is. I can't believe I wrote that out. I think everyone should make fun of me and what I wrote because it's so unbelieveably dumb. I'm sorry.

if you were to "go into the world and see everybody, not just my friends, but every aquaintance I used to know, and laugh and have fun, and swim, and walk around and sleep outside on the grass. The feeling is too much, and I don't do any of these things. "

This sounds authentic, in part due to its implausibility. Completely counterintuitive. I can drink a case of beer over a weekend, spending the next couple days feeling first miserable and then simply dim. A couple days later I begin to perk up. Now I’m free, to do what? Encounter what? Possibilities? Other people? God forbid, romance? Suddenly there it is again, the world, smack in the face, that same fucker I escaped a few days ago. A beer sounds good. Feels good. And it’s predictable, unlike a world of other people. Of course it’s deeper than that. It’s about one’s comfort with what the world shoves at you. It’s about one’s coping skills, which are largely a function of one’s childhood of course. Did your parents nurture healthy responses to the adversities of life? Or were they in fact THE adversities, all the while cutting you off from the possibility of viable reponse? Can’t win? Doesn’t matter what you do, you lose anyway? So retreat, into your room, your books, your music, into some world that you DO understand, where there is SOME correlation between your action and the world’s reaction. So far, so good. But the world is more than the room, and outside it lurks, with its ambiguities, and when you do inevitably venture back into it you remain the child you were when you last escaped it, with the same stunted coping skills. Doesn’t matter that the parents who drove you inward are long dead, for the world has taken their place, and you’re just as ill-equipped to deal with it as you were when you last escaped it. So you flail. Or you fake it for a bit. It’s hard to fake it all alone, but fortunately there are allies all about. A drink. A hit. Feels better. Back into the box. There’s music there, my music, my Frank even. So we have topics like this: man in a box that nobody else can see.

Whether it's true or not, it seems a sad state of affairs that the only outlet he has for his stories is here.
Personally, I don't care if he's telling the truth or not and here's why:
1. If he's telling the truth, he's a weak doper.
2. If he's not, he's a pathetic doper wanna be.

Blah blah blah. Jimmy, you're a heroin addict. Your feelings of bliss at being clean for a few days are not valid...especially since you are foretelling the oncoming onslaught of happiness which are more than likely going to give you your much needed excuse to go back to the drug. You can't do this by yourself. You simply can't. You are presently, and have been for years, living with fear and dependence. It's a big loop you've built. You're not going to be able to do this by yourself, bottom line. You are an addict who will listen to nothing but your own determined will to stay one. You haven't even set a simple goal for what is to come after a couple weeks...at least not one you've expressed here. Why is that? Why would you want to quit in the first place? You say it's because you've wasted years and money, but you're OK with your health. That's nonsensical. What is five more years going to hurt? Or ten? Obviously health isn't a factor for you, and money doesn't seem to be too big an obstacle. So is it the years? Well, if you think about it, and rationalize it like an addict would, you can't get years back, but they certainly keep coming for free, so use them to the fullest! Jimmy, you are not going to get through this alone...and no one you know personally is going to be able to help you. No one. No one. No one. If you are serious about this, you will get professional help, and listen to everything they say, and STOP listening to yourself, because yourself is wrong and damaged and presently the most unintelligent and stunted brain around. You are wrong, and everything you will think or do or say from here on out will be wrong and horrible.

Why, jimmy? Because it's too personal? Because of how you'll be perceived? Because you fear it can't possibly make sense to folks who don't know where you're coming from? Why, jimmy?
I know, maybe I'm being a sap. Maybe, but I'm willing to risk it.

marcus4realius, this isn't the only outlet for my stories- the people on the "Golden Girls" Forum have been very supportive. They remember all the problems that Rose had when she was trying to kick pain pills
Anyway, this thread is turning into somekind of NA meeting, and of course that's my fault. It's not what I wanted it to be, but oh well.
What surprises me is, of all the people that have responded, none have said, "Hey jimmy, I got a tooth pulled last month, and the Percs my dentist gave me hurt my stomach. Would you like them?"
I know I could find the strength to stay clean if someone would send me a bunch of opiate-based pills.
