Opiates are the greatest comfort blanket no doubt. No creative passion? Low sex drive? Even less capacity for empathy? Justification for all selfish acts? Distance from society in general? Yeah definitely. Id be daft to not write this out. Even if its just to remind myself why its not compatible with my life.

If you have suffered for so long I can always recall the positive effects as well. But when it wore off I felt more empty than ever before.
