That's terrific. Swim also came to this site for a variety of reasons, one of which was learning how to improve his high. Swim has also seen a lot of threads on quitting, NA/AA, etc. Swim was kinda put off with these threads at first.

Swim and his wife are trying to get pregnant and really want to start a family. Swim has since stopped using most substances that he used to use and is now considering attempting to finally break the long-time (7 year?) opiate addiction. Swim has to admit that it was reading some of the threads on quitting that made swim start to consider this.

After a lifetime on and off substances......swim can't just turn his head away from all that time on substances.....and swim finds this a much better place to talk about it than say...well.........a non substance related fourm.
Sometimes it is cool to be someplace with the likeminded.....
Othertimes.....during rare moments of self reflection.......its not so cool......bige

After getting off the noxious cocktail of shit my friend Dave was taking,he thought he would hang around and try to help others in similar situations. good luck,good thoughts.

SWIM was surfing the internet for nothing in particular, kind of unhappy with her pill use, but not intending to come off yet. She found this forum-mainly the addiction section-and began reading the stories. She decided she didn't want to live on the opiates any more, that she wanted to be free of the drugs again. So here she is, tapering and on this board every day.

To pass the time and perhaps learn valuable information as to not kill myself w/careless misinformed use.

Thanks DF!

Swim first started using this site to find out some answers to some questions swim had but since has been spending more and more time on here. Swim finds it a great place where you can talk to people that are going through the same thing as swim however there are not so much the negative effects you get from hanging about with all swims 'drug friends' especially if swim is trying to quit or cut down.

Swim has been taking all sorts of drugs since she was 14 and used to go from one to the other and use pretty intensly but it never really effected swims life too much untill swim found heroin. When swim moved to London for ironically a new start with university and a new job swim became addicted to both crack and heroin. Eventaully now I have managed to be clean from the crack for 4 months but still use the heroin daily. Swim has been considering going to a rehab clinic near her also to deal with some other issues like her sever depression while she is there but still is not sure if she is totally ready yet.

And congrats swirockmand nash 7 weeks is a really big achivement good for you!
