IT’S OFFICIAL: Justin Bieber Unfollows Usher | Candace Ep 132

So Usher was groomed and he groomed Justin but instead of Bieber grooming other young artists, he is protecting them . May God bless Justin man

Scooter , Patty ..Justin’s mom and Usher are GARBAGE!! Insider here ..THEY HUNTED on the internet to find a mom willing to sell their kid to the industry ..THEY FOUND ONE! It’s why PATTY signed over her rights to Justin and the EXHILED HER to HAWAII with MILLIONS and an agreement and would not interfere . It’s why she never spoke up when just got in trouble. Then SCOOTER AND USHER worked Justin like a dog with multiple world tours and no time off..remember when Justin performed so sick on stage he was throwing up ..he had THE FLU. Then they pumped him out to Hollywood putting Justin in way to adult situations . When people started complaining about Justin having no friends his own age or relationships ..they set him up with Selena and a few guys own age to look like he has friends . Next look at Ryan secret digi tour and what happen to those kids on that tour …parents who signed over their kids ..who ended up at adult partys to the Hollywood elite while their parents stayed home with the money .

I usually don’t comment on KZbin but I was actually in prayer not even a couple days ago listening to worship music and a song came on with one of my favorite christian worship artist Chandler….Justin just so happened to be singing with him. I immediately went into prayer for Justin I don’t normally pray for “celebrities” like that. I actually forgot I prayed until I clicked on the video and started reading the comments. The Holy Spirit reminded me of the prayer and said this is why I needed you to pray that day!

[@GeorgiaMartin-ll9qg]

Candace - I was put on a benzo (didn’t know it was a benzo) as a muscle relaxant due to back pain. After a month or so I threw the medication out as my back was fine but ended up in emergency 3 days later thinking I was having a heart attack! It was the withdrawal. It took me about 6 months to slowly get off the medication, decreasing the those every week in drops, 5x days until it was over. There was no street drug that could help me with this! This is what Peterson ha and I wish they could have spread awareness !!!

[@nathankashmer1614]

Candace I'm an addict in recovery (5 years in 2 weeks) was a psych and detox RN , now I'm in my masters for addiction therapy- the state of colorado doesn't want to use "addict" or even "substance use disorder" as it's "stigmatizing" and relabel it "compulsive patterns syndrome" ..... The only way you get clean is by KNOWING you are an addict, and admitting it. Benzo dependency is the same thing as addiction. And it is very quick too, and Peterson as smart as he is KNOWS this too. The stats on benzo's have been out for decades. There's no shame, he should own it. Empower others to get clean too. "Look at the stupid things I said, this is why you should get clean" Could be an inspiring message and sadly he's not doing the 1 thing you need to do in recovery: have radical accountability

[@nathankashmer1614]

They want to not shoot for abstinence but just "using 3 times a week or something" .... And Benzo's are WAY harder to get prescribed since 2013's-2014's? So there is a very high chance someone would turn to a street drug (or buying fake pressed bars laced with fentanyl and overdosing) because the withdrawal makes you incredibly anxious ... and now you already know how to "fix it" with a med. 🎉

What's weird about this, is how Peterson always advocated for being specific, using the right words and not hiding in ,,half meanings". It's astonishing how he doesn't seem to realize he does the opposite of what he teaches, in many ways. I can only assume it's God teaching him humility by allowing him to fall.

The difference is, an addict becomes addicted by their own volition, a person who becomes dependent, is someone who only used those drugs because they trusted the medical system, they would have never used those drugs without their Doctors recommendation.

[@Frion-lg9rm]

это бред. перестаньте придумывать новые описания, как оправдание. зависимость - она и в африке зависимость. как красное - это красное, а зеленое - зеленое. хоть как красное назови - пурпурным, бордовым, оно останется красным.

[@timothyblazer1749]

​@@Frion-lg9rmit is not nonsense. If you are using a med under the care of a physician, and you have no idea the med causes depedence, AND its a psychiatric med, it cannot be addiction. It is, by the medical literature, dependence. Like diabetics are dependent on insulin. Addiction requires the powerful urge to do something, without the need to do it. Anything can be addictive, but you have to have an urge to do it, and it cannot be medicine. There are exceptions, like oxycontin. But its very clear.

[@tiffanykelly2967]

I can agree with this statement. Personally, I feel that addiction and dependency are the night and day of each other. There are similar traits but different motives!

[@Amaya_]

I was just about to jump on and say the same thing as someone who was a heroin & meth addict (who has grown up with a mentally ill parent on psych meds) who has also dabbled in valium and xanax half my life (but never addicted to them as i wasnt taking it daily long term). Also I dont fault candice for this but benzo’s arnt the same thing as opiates & pain killers, opiate’s & pain killers lead to heroin, benzo’s lead to a very different hard time getting off, but I mean she is right in that dr’s will prescribe both benzos and opiates which benzo’s can lead dependance & the opiates to heroin addiction, but he clearly wasnt on opiates. It can be a hard subject if you havnt experienced both

Candace, if you take medicine prescribed by a licensed professional, and you use as directed, as prescribed, you are not an addict. An addict is someone who ABUSES legal or illegal drugs. By taking more than prescribed or taking something illegal. Most people who go on psych meds are NEVER informed about the 6+ months hellish withdrawals when you decide to come off of them. That is not his fault. I have two relatives who've gone through this. It's not like Jordan abused the medicine. He was having horrible side effects / withdrawal symptoms, not fueling an addiction.

[@Missjaey]

You're 100% incorrect. And that's the stupidest comment I've ever read. As someone that's in the healthcare field I seen many patients who are addicted to their prescriptions and when you try to cut them off from that prescription they fire you as an MD and start doctor shopping. Please don't act like just because you have a prescription that means you're not or can't be an addict. Those are literally the most addicted ones hiding behind the guise of a prescription. So much so that they'll throw themselves down the stairs to go to the ER and get that prescription once we stopped prescribing. You are literally brain dead when speaking on the opioid pandemic. Now hush

[@AskCeeJay]

It’s sad what a lot of young 90s artists went through. Aaliyah was another prime example.

[@Flutterbyebutterfly]

I watched the debate with yourself & Mikhaila, it’s such a cop out using the word “dependant” I’m an ex addict, was prescribed strong pain meds after the birth of my Son. Was prescribed them for months and months. When my GP stopped my prescription I took to the streets to buy them. After 6 long years of struggle and pain I finally walked away from them. I thought we were supposed to admit we were addicts before we could change. I can’t believe it’s now being taught. Watch a whole lot of addicts jump to use this term!

[@audreygribble6033]

No, there is a difference between a chemical dependence and mere psychological addiction. No addict is the same. Many many people are dependent on psych medication or have developed dependency through health issues and surgeries- we can’t condemn all these people as mere „addicts“

If she was so worried then why did she let him go? He was a baby. She had the authority, she was the parent and she was able to tell him no. She got greedy. She saw the money coming in, the nice cars, nice houses, what their life can be financially and she got greedy and gave up her son to these monsters these devils. She left her son to fend for himself, and so he turned to drugs. As a mom myself, I could never hand over my 13-year-old son to a grown man and then that grown man turns over my son to another grown man who’s even older and has the worst reputation. It’s hard to defend among or dad who does that with there child.

Hey Candace, love the show just want to help with the dependence vs addiction argument, they are two different things. if your doctor who’s the professional prescribes you a benzodiazepine for six months and you take it as prescribed and do not abuse it but you physically become dependent on it and actually have to detox off of it. You would not be considered an addict, now if that same person was prescribed benzodiazepine for six months, abused their prescription and ran out after two months. They would be an addict so so there is a difference in behavior there? I hope this message finds you, again I’m a fan love the show keep up the awesome content

[@klauman4002]

Agreed

[@cyn7869]

Absolutely agree. It’s irrelevant what you call it, addiction is addiction.

[@alfredortego225]

Right, in rehab they’d call that minimizing and distancing yourself from the situation. Look, Xanax is more addictive than heroin, it’s truly a demonic drug, overuse makes otherwise calm people angry, defensive and violent, like out of their minds. I know a guy who went into a house of an ex and shot up the place- he’s dead now, a senior in high school.. Another guy wrecked into a car, backed up and did it again and again..and again. A mother I know took it and passed out on more than one occasion. Other times she’d take off and leave her toddlers alone in the house. The children, who are autistic, had to move in with their grandmother. What kind of doctor gives this to a single mother of autistic toddler twins?? It’s running rampant because doctors are getting paid or luxury perks to prescribe it. There are rap artists like Lil Xan X and countless songs devoted to the drug, or casually mentioned. It’s a diabolical plan to keep us in bondage and it’s evil to its core. Jordan Peterson is probably back on this drug because he’s acting like it- angry, defensive and violent, he’s just got this resentment, I see why, he’s been through a lot but we are commanded to forgive and let go of resentment= generational demons are borne of resentment, it’s something that affects every aspect of our lives for the rest of our lives if we stuff it down. It’s something cannot truly process alone so we must give it to the Holy Spirit, let go and let God. Jordan talks about Jesus but does so with anger and vengeance toward those who have wronged him and that’s the opposite of Jesus. I can always tell when Peterson, someone Ive come to admire and enjoy learning from, is going through a demonic attachment issue. He starts squinting his eyes, frowning, interrupting, talking over people, taking over the conversation without listening. And his movements are pensive, uptight and jerky- more than his normal. He’s quick to anger, his tone of voice is…well just different..his ego gets the better of him- the clothes get a lot flashier, he acts a bit more pompous, his daughter starts running to defend him. When you know you know. By the way, she looks just like a young Christina Applegate. Look I’m a daddy’s girl, I get it, but he’s in the public eye, it comes with the territory. And he’s quick to insult whomever he pleases so you get it thrown back at you sometimes, let it humble you, don’t double down. And defending her dad does Peterson a disservice, he’s supposed to be dangerous. Dangerous men don’t need their little girls out there slaying their dragons for them. I pray God will be with Jordan and his amazing family. He will be fine, probably better for it.

My understanding of an addict verses a dependent is that an addict abuses their prescription and a dependent takes their prescription as instructed but when its time to come off that medication they have sever side effects making it difficult to come off the medication

[@Ichigo911]

"when its time to come off that medication they have sever side effects making it difficult to come off the medication" this is the part that leads people to becoming addicts (the mental aspect), withdrawal is a very painful experience and they would rather avoid it, they keep on taking the drug to the point the normal dose they use is no longer working (intolerance) , that's where the abuse comes in and they take higher doses of the drug, some people might even seek stronger opioid meds as alternative

[@agoodchloe]

As someone who works in the field and someone who was a benzo addict, benzos are different from any other psych med the way that oxycodone or morphine are different from other pain meds like Tylenol. Benzo withdrawal doesn’t just affect your state of mind, it can cause seizures and go days or weeks without eating or sleeping. There’s a fine line between dependence and addiction and anyone on benzos for a period of time is physically addicted, their body is physically addicted to that drug. Coming off an antidepressant can cause depression and some anxiety but that’s the worst of it. Coming off benzos can literally make you feel like you’re losing your mind.

[@JessicaJones-oz8kb]

Love you Candace. Literally can not wait for the weekends to be over so you post again lol. I am an addict. I have been in recovery for over 7 years now, after suffering in active addiction for 15 years. It is a very thin line distinguishing a difference between "addiction" and "dependence" because in MOST cases, they look exactly the same. However It is POSSIBLE to become dependent and not be an addict in my opinion. My belief of this is because addiction is an illness of the brain. So, in my situation and MANY addicts that I know, we knew we were addicts way before we ever put a substance into our body, as well as, it doesn't really matter what it is, I can overuse and abuse anything. drugs, sex, money, food, work. There just seems to be a broken off button, I just want more and more of it. Where as, someone like my father who has had severe injuries has been prescribed opiates for years. He is absolutely dependent on them, which, looks the same as addicted in the way that if he does not take them, he will suffer the withdrawal that anybody will go thru when your body is dependent on those drugs. The difference though is that he has been on a low dose, that I KNOW can not be working well after all of these years, but he has never taken more than what he is prescribed and has never gone up in dose. He doesn't have the mental compulsion part that seems to be the key factor in an addict brain. Once I start, my mind will literally think of nothing else. I want it, I want it now, and I want as much of it as possible. Sadly though, this distinction between "addiction" and "dependence" had given MANY addicts a false sense of reality, believing that they are in fact not addicts which will keep them sick and suffering. Like I said Very thin line And from what I've seen, VERY few people who are just dependent and not also addicts

[@alyssareynolds1949]

When people think of an addict, one of the first things that comes to mind is one who is seeking a dopamine dump or hit. Most people who are prescribed benzos are seeking to neutralize their anxiety, panic attacks, muscle spasms, insomnia and other uncomfortable symptoms they are suffering from. They are not looking to be prescribed a medication that will induce a pleasurable, euphoric experience like most if not all street drug addicts are chasing. The dependency aspect comes from when one is attempting to wean or quit the pharmaceutical drug and experiences uncomfortable physical withdrawal symptoms. This is the same experience one goes through when weaning or quitting street drugs. A crack head is initially seeking a dopamine hit. Builds a tolerance and succumbs addiction. Someone who is prescribed benzos can be the average person who is seeking a way to suppress their uncomfortable symptoms I stated earlier. And their physician has only one solution. Benzos and crack both cause dependency, but only one causes addiction.

Ms. Peterson needs to understand that changing the language doesn’t change the reality. Drug dependency is the same as addiction. The word “addiction” has been used derogatorily in recent decades, but at its core it still retains its original meaning.

So, as a nurse here, to help you understand a bit ....dependence really doesnt mean addiction every time. The 2 words have been used interchangeably a lot in the past by addiction centers, ERs, medical centers and psych wards, and usually medical people know which is which, and which isnt! Ms. Peterson has a point, but not in her favor because she didnt explain it very well to the audience. With addiction, the patient wants to take the drug, because their brain is telling them they need the drug to get that dopamine to be happy again. They physically, mentally and emotionally crave the med. If they are recovering long enough and the physical and emotional cravings have subsided, they will still have a mental craving. theres always gonna be a little piece of their brain reminding them they want the drug, so its a mental fight to stay clean every day. With the type of dependence she mentioned, there is a totally diff physiological process in play. The patients may have been put on the med for short term because of a manic episode. They dont want to take the med, & they arent addicted to the med in the sense that they crave taking it. However, if they stop taking it all of a sudden, (the usual reason is because they dont want to take it anymore because it makes them feel bad), it can cause severe physiological problems, like electrolyte imbalances in their brain that can put them in a coma, & if not caught right away can cause brain damage or death. It can cause them to feel like absolute crap, with flu like symptoms, dizziness, headaches, etc. Other sudden stop issues can cause kidney or adrenal crises, possible liver enzyme elevation, pancreatitis, maybe vomiting and other serious issues ive not heard about yet. Im not a psych nurse but i deal with neurological disorders and brain tumors. If you dont understand the physiological crises of drug dependence due to these meds, then it does sound a lot like addiction, except the mental craving to take the meds is not there, so its not a mental battle for the person to stop them. An example of non-narcotic medication dependence is when a person takes an oral steroid. It has to be tapered off because your adrenal glands could go into crisis mode. There are a couple handfuls of anti-depressants (non-narcotic) and non benzo psych meds that have to be tapered off slowly because your body could hurt or kill you if you dont taper, like the steroids i mentioned. I do believe you said the right thing to Ms. Peterson, because Dr. Peterson said he had benzo dependency issues, which admittedly sounds more like a description of addiction (imho). You are both right, but she didnt explain her argument well enough to make sense, so you are more right because of the nuance of the situation. I just wanted to let you know there is a very important difference in the 2 words that can be very tricky when making an argument. I love your show and watch you everyday!

[@maggiehernandez7215]

Genuine question not trying to argue for arguments sake. If a meth, crack, LSD, or fentanyl addict is considered an addict because they have to have the drug to cope and function in their day to day lives. Why aren't people that after years of taking prescription medications who can't stop, not only for the health complications, but because said drug helps them cope and function in their day to day lives? You can die from alcohol withdrawals. Alcohol is one of the worst withdrawal processes. So to say that it's a dependency because you have to taper them off sounds disingenuous at best. People that are addicted to street drugs also have to go through a detox protocol because stopping cold turkey can be very dangerous as well it isn't just benzos or other opiates.

[@nataliesanches3449]

As someone who HAS suffered with both addiction, AND dependency issues, you are 100% correct in your explanation. For example, I'm 39 years old now but I began having foot surgeries at age 12. Since then, I've had roughly 15 foot surgeries (both feet due to a defect in how my bones grew), 2 hip surgeries ( bone grafts to place in my feet for fusion), 2 MAJOR back surgeries (3 spinal cord stimulators), 1 knee surgery, and a hysterectomy. I'm currently in need of a fusion and decompression surgery in at least 2 disc's in my neck, but I'm trying to put filter off for as long as possible. I have Complex Regional Pain Syndrome in both legs and arms (which is rare to have it in so many places and if you don't know what the disorder is, look it up - it's devastating). I have arthritis and bone spurs in my feet, knees, hips, facet joints (low back), mid and upper back, shoulders, and hands. From a young age I was placed on narcotic pain medications, and when my mother informed my doctor that I had a family history of addiction, my doctors assured her that there was minimal risk. While these medications admittedly allowed me to live an active life, they were also slowly killing me. I had to take stronger and stronger medications, until I was eventually prescribed Fent@nyl patches. Eventually, that wasn't enough, and I went to the streets, which evolved into a full-blown H addiction. Fortunately, I made it out and have been off of it for over 10 years now and while I have had to take narcotics for short periods of time over the years due to various operations, I haven't gone back. THAT IS A DESCRIPTION OF ADDICTION. Additionally, I've suffered with extremely serious treatment-resistant depression throughout my entire life for as long as I can remember. I've been on every medication under the sun, I've been a part of testing new medications that aren't available yet, I've done ECT (Electroconvulsive Therapy, or "shock therapy"), I've seen specialists and therapists galore, and at the end of the day nothing helps. I've made multiple attempts to unalive myself; the first at age 12. At one point about a year and a half ago, I was taking upwards of 30 pills a day in an effort to combat both my mental and physical pain. The medications are heavy hitters, and admittedly, I do still take Lyrica to help with my pain. With that said, I've been tapering my medications for about a year now, with the ultimate goal being that I'm off all prescription medications. I'm currently down to taking only 3 prescription medications. I'm tapering off my medications bc I do NOT want to be on them anymore; I want my body to have a "fresh start", so I'm can see what all medications I might ACTUALLY NEED. If I taper too quickly, I feel awful. THIS IS PHYSICAL DEPENDENCE.

There is no difference between addiction and dependence. Dependence is the direct cause of addiction. I’m a recovering heroin and benzo addict, have been for almost 7 years now and I’ve thought deeply about this. Funnily enough I am now trying to get off the Suboxone and Gabapentin that my rehabs put me on. Yes, they helped me but I feel I was lied to by multiple medical professionals when I was told they were not addicting when I asked. When I asked I was implying “am I going to be sick mentally & physically when I eventually want to come off these” and they told me no. Actually Gabapentin was called a “miracle drug” less than 10 years ago by my doctors and everywhere on the internet. Had I known what I know now I would of never have gotten on these meds. They use this dependence term to avoid being sued by the millions of people they told these drugs weren’t addicting too. Too bad Jordan’s daughter hasn’t seen this yet. Don’t trust doctors. Eat healthy, meditate, exercise, take vitamins and learn as much as you can about herbs and holistic healing like Ayurveda etc.

[@April-dt8pp]

Maybe I'm actually Canadian because I think there is a difference between those who CHOOSE addiction and those who are blindsided into it. The addiction is the same, yes. The intentions are NOT. It's like a guy who drugs a girl's drink, rapes her and tells all their friends they are a couple because they had sex. Yes...there was sex. But did the girl have a choice after being drugged and raped??? Nope! That's the point everyone seems to be missing.

[@avoiceinthewilderness9864]

So insulin dependant diabetics are addicts? People on antihypertensive are addicts? People using cardiac meds daily are addicts? No only those who need brain meds....so tired of unfair labels when it comes to the treatment of the organ the brain and nervous system when no other organ in the body is labeled or shamed for being medically treated!

Which is kind of funny because Jordan Peterson’s big thing was to always tell the truth but is lying to himself on this one

[@purple_lilies7]

Sorry, Candance, but you're NOT getting it. She is speaking about the dangers of withdrawal from Psych Meds. There is no desire to use or abuse the psych meds or to go to the streets to buy street drugs. They are genuinely speaking about the horrible and death causing withdrawal symptoms when you're trying to stop taking Psych meds.

[@Random_Patriot]

Exactly!

[@NicOrtiz-w9z]

I love Candace but she’s really not getting it. I think it comes down to her never experiencing psych meds. She thinks it’s a money thing and she’s not “rich” enough. Like her and husband aren’t millionaires🙄

[@beigebox1990]

Benzo withdrawal is dangerous. Also, Jordan sought higher doses to deal with the stress during his wife's cancer, and he should have known withdrawal must be made with care. These things can both be true at the same time. Jordan made two choices, in which the term "behavior" is implicit: seeking higher doses and stopping cold turkey just because they weren't working as well anymore. A silver lining is that it brought attention to benzo withdrawal, but it doesn't make his options any less misguided.

[@Puppetmastersfool]

@@NicOrtiz-w9z It seems to me that it is rather interesting that so many in the 1st world need to (maybe need is not the correct word) take psych meds, I guess the lack of physical problems requires an imaginative replacement. 🤔

Peterson changed my life back in 2018. I prayed to God for him when he was ill and sometimes still do now, but he's just not the same person since he joined DW. And I'm not blaming DW, I couldn't possibly know whether is his carnivore diet, extra money, amount of stress and haters he had to put up with - God only knows *why* he changed. All I know is what I feel in my heart now listening to him - he feels like a shadow of his former self. The man I see today I don't trust to stand up against tyranny like he taught us we should.

Candace I believe you were spot on about her father! You weren't being insensitive and were simply stating facts. She couldn't handle the truth bc it is her dad. Even when you made a valid point, she only heard what irritated her and nothing else. She made no sense, but then went on to speak down to you as if you have no knowledge of addiction. You handled that gracefully like always!

It was maybe the lack of empathy, the odd laughter of Candace that irritated her. And rightfully so.

[@BigAB737]

@@batadamhuman2053 It’s difficult to show empathy when in a debate and the other person is clearly heated and condescending. Candace has explained many times that when she’s pregnant she doesn’t take bs. I also don’t think Candace owes anyone empathy when she’s simply doing her job by covering a topic. It’s true that wealthy people don’t own up to having addictions or it’s simply not spoken about or swept under the rug. The problem needs to be addressed no matter how they got there. Whether intentional or not. My prayers go up to all addicts.

Addiction implies abuse of a drug. Dependence is a need for a medication to treat a medical condition. One of my medications for epilepsy is controlled because it can create a dependence with withdrawal symptoms if stopped, but it is a medication that nobody would abuse.

Thank you!! This was my point: A diabetic is dependent on their insulin to survive...does this now entail that they are addicted? Obviously the answer is NO.

@rosyapplekitchen635 agreed. Having been through addiction myself and abusing benzos. However I can completely understand being prescribed them and not knowing that's the case. Believing they are just like any other mental health medicine. Thats all. And Candace is framing this all like he is an addict which isn't the case. That's the part people are offended by

[@emilyar7992]

@@rosyapplekitchen635 not necessarily. Benzos do have a legitimate place in medicine that is not just to cause addiction. They work well for acute panic attacks and will stop seizures. They work well short term for anxiety disorders until another prescribed medication can take full effect or the root cause of the anxiety is found and treated. While benzos are abused, people who are prescribed and take them appropriately are not addicts.

[@shannonmarie3042]

Dependency is addition. Drug addicts are dependent on their drug of choice so they don’t get sick because withdrawal is hell to go through. I’ve seen someone go through it and it’s hell.

[@trinivegan7649]

I think what Mikhalia was trying to say is that her dad depends on the meds, like someone with type 1 diabetes or someone with asthma. They don’t necessarily want to take it or crave it. But if they don’t take it, their bodies won’t function well.

[@deed5909]

That's exactly what addiction is! You actually think people who are addicted to heroin or meth truly want to be addicted to it or truly want to crave it? There's NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ADDICTION & DEPENDENCY ON PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION! The only difference is that prescription medication that someone is addicted to is prescribed legally by their doctor!

Also I was a benzo and heroin addict and I’ve been sober from those things for over 10 years, but the withdrawals were very different. With the heroin, the worst of it was over in 3 days to a week. With benzos, it took 2 weeks before I could eat or sleep longer than a half hour at a time. Also benzos are “acceptable” and the stigma is less and there are legit reasons to take them (preferably not every day to avoid dependency), so unless you can admit that an addiction is an addiction whether it’s benzos or heroin or porn etc. then you prob won’t stay clean because you won’t think you have a problem

[@jenniferRodgers-fs9fh]

I had the same opposite experience! Wasn’t addicted to herion but painkillers they put me on suboxone! Never once had a withdrawal from Xanax, other than a bit ill or snappy, but the suboxone was a whole different experience and devil it’s self! Point is everyone’s bodies are different!

[@GwenStefaniGuild]

No that was the heroin withdrawal. I just got off Suboxone which I was prescribed to get off my illegal use of Oxy and Hydro’s. I had to be tapered off Suboxone from 16mg a day to 2mg a day. Took almost a year. Then when I finally stopped the 2mg, I had the typical flu like symptoms, cold chills yawning constantly, eyes watering etc. for a week, but by far the worst symptoms were the diarrhea and insomnia. The insomnia lasted 2 weeks, I was prescribed everything to help me sleep and the only thing that worked was Ambien. The Diarrhea lasted a little over a month! About a month and half. If you were on Heroin I’d think your withdrawal would be a lot more intense than mine and definitely last longer than three days. I can’t say I believe you

[@rosewater63]

This is a great point. Antidepressants and benzos are different. Benzos, like certain pain meds, may be needed on an as-needed basis. Antidepressants are not gateway drugs, but benzos & pain meds are.

[@Lustrum0005]

@@GwenStefaniGuild Opiate withdrawals can vary from person to person, and also the length of use matters, the size of doses, the consumption method they used. Also different opiates have different half lives, and Suboxone was designed to last 24 hours in your system, so it has a much longer half life than heroin, the half life in heroin is a few hours. Suboxone and Methadone were designed to help people quit opiate addiction, the idea was to help the addict last 24 hours without withdrawal

My family suffers from many addictions, and my husband is currently 6 years sober from alcohol. He spent 16 years working in a Christian rescue mission, helping men overcome their life crippling addictions and homelessness. Addiction/substance use disorder is the same thing, new name.

Keep up the great work, Candace!

I agree with Candace. An addiction is an addiction whether it be an addiction due to certain foods, doctor prescribed medication, or a street drug.

[@Angelssent2]

Drug dependency, substance abuse, drug addiction is all the same thing. The body is addicted to a particular drug, regardless of what that is. People who smoke cigarettes, drink alcohol, etc are referred to as addicts, so why should the rich, famous, elites and those who believe they above others, try to distance themselves from those who they see as below them. Sick of all the word salad, alternate words, etc by these people. Addiction is when the body is wanting/demanding the substance, so dependency is exactly the same thing, your body wants its fix. I feel for those who have any type of addiction.
