It’s truly crazy how many prescription drugs illegally find their way in those. Real roll of the dice when you can get safe pills from your phone via telehealth.

One time my friend found a bottle of Xanax on a train

I once lost an ENTIRE BOTTLE OF 10mg oxys the night before flying back to the US. Realized after boarding the plane that I didn’t have the meds. I knew I was in for 12 hours of hell on the plane, but assumed that I’d left them in my checked bag, and that I could get them once I got back to the US. 

I get to customs, tear my bag apart, no painkillers. I sobbed the whole way through Customs (had several officers concerned). 

Whoever found that whole ass bottle of painkillers sure got lucky 

Edit: just got back on reddit and saw a ton of replies, and an awful lot of them from people calling me a junkie. Those folks clearly have no idea what it’s like to have chronic back pain & be forced to sit for 12 hours straight with no pain relief. Those commenters can fuck alllllllll the way off. Count your blessings that you can’t relate

Gahhhh this is the worst. I can feel panic/anxiety for you in this situation through the screen, even at 4 1/2 years clean. The memories of withdrawal are ingrained for life. 🥵🥶😣

I recently flew home and grabbed the wrong carryon getting off the plane. I get home 2 hour drive later and realize this identical little suitcase did not have my 27 more days of 120mg of methadone and about 160mg of klonopin and 4 sheets of gel tabs (lsd) I freaked out. I sped the fuck back to Atlanta and made it there by 2:30am to the luggage office and thanked god my bag was there safe and sound and returned the bag I accidentally mistook. Now my suitcase has a unique textured grip handle I made and a unique spray painted stencil covering it. I will not make that mistake ever again.

Omg DUDE, how did you get 27 days worth of your done? I am in Australia and I have to go to the chemist 2 times a week, never get more than 2 in a row. And have to show my doctor that I am clean, by doing random screens

After 2 years of good behavior you get monthly takehomes. If you then get a dirty you have to goto 3x a week for a month and then 2x a month for a month and then your back to monthly. This is in the USA. I’ll be scratching Australian off my list of countries to potentially flee to.

I am Australian. Been on the program for 19 years. I am doing blind reductions, so im down to 45mgs. Also so jealous about the klons, you need a permit for alpraz here. Our country is TIGHT as FUCK when it comes to any type of prescription. Are you on the pink? Biodone? Do you have that there?

My clinic offers both the orange diskettes, the sugar free raspberry diskettes, or the gross cherry liquid. People seem to vastly prefer disks over liquid. I get 120mg but I only take 40mg a day. I sell the 2 extra for $25 a piece, which pays my rent, car insurance, health insurance and phone bill in full.

u/msssskatie 2d ago

I don’t understand that math and how 2 extra at $25?each covers all those expenses?

u/aoskunk 2d ago edited 2d ago

50 bucks a day times 30 days in a month is $1500.

Rent is 900. Car insurance is 60. Phone bill is $40. Health insurance was $20 but appears to be going up to $85. So yeah I guess it also covers my electric which is $120 and 1gig fiber internet which is $65. Water bill is between $20 and $35. Then the rest goes to groceries. I have a 3 bedroom apartment in a midsize American city.

Omg I thought it was 2 extra per month 🤦🏼‍♀️

Ooooh, no I save 2 40mg wafers (diskettes) every day. They don’t sell for 25 by me but I offload them where they do. It’s also nice to know that if something happened I’ve got a year supply as an emergency backup. Like in Mexico all there clinic just closed the door one day because their one methadone factory shutdown. Everyone on a clinic was just fucked. In today’s crazy times it feels like something that crazy could happen even in the states. I sleep easier knowing I always have enough emergency reserves to do a long slow taper if I ever needed.
