When the onset of acute withdrawal begins , even the most honest , good , kind hearted person will find themselves doing things and not caring about other important things that they never would have imagined . And when you think about it after it just feels incredibly stupid . But in the moment . you would do anything to end the incoming doom of acute withdrawal . Nonusers often don ' t get this , and think that it ' s a morality issue with users , but you can ' t think about anything else except making it better . These opiates , they ' re fucking terrifying , and when you really stop and think about how much they have controlled your life it can be mind boggling . From using itself , to scoring , to lying to doctors for scripts , to stealing , to doing crazy shot like garbage hunting etc during withdrawal , ignoring the needs of loved ones , not caring about work and other priorities , etc and the list goes on . Things that you , as a person , would have never possible been able to imagine yourself doing . The opiates drive you to the point of almost literally doing . whatever it takes . Stay safe .
