"When the ****** reaches the brain, it latches on to pain receptors and blocks them, effectively blocking pain. That is why opiates are the most effective painkillers, but the problem is that they don't just block the pain receptors. They block all feeling, just not as effectively as pain. Even movement centers of the brain are partially blocked, and that is how an opioid overdose happens, as breathing and heartbeat are slowed, and essentially, blocked."
You know withdrawals are starting when you start ******* your guts out, and you realize you haven't had a ******* dump in days.
You know the withdrawals are starting when the itches are no longer funny, no longer a silly past time while the coedine blocks everything else
You know the withdrawals are starting when you finally internalize the things you've spent the last few days, weeks, doing, to yourself, to your friends
You know the withdrawals are here when you're trembling on the floor of the shower, biting your nails too far, in between wanting to feel something, or wanting the tiny bit you can feel to stop, because it's altogether completely overwhelming you, and everything you've been blocking is released, and it hurts worse than you could ever have imagined it would when you originally blocked it because
"The human brain is too smart for this trickery, though. It will adapt to this lack of pain by increasing the number of total pain receptors, permanently. There is no known limit to how much a person's tolerance to opiates can grow. People have been known to ingest 5 grams of ****** every day and barely get high. It is an endless back and forth, of killing pain and increasing the potential to have pain, that has no limit. Addiction to opiates is hell on earth."
