I have been taking opiates for well over 25 years under Dr. supervision and I am never stopped up nor do I ever feel the pills that I take because I take them medically and not recreationally. My diet provides all the energy I need in the morning to alleviate what I don’t need inside of myself… I have plenty of meds stashed for the rainy day, but I try to avoid taking anything that I don’t need. I stopped taking benzos cold turkey about a month ago and I’m still having issues with sleep but I’m not taking benzos which makes me happy… I am desperately awaiting what I hope to be some very potent Indicas I’m growing…

The only time I haven't been plugged up by them (and the opiates I have are only under Dr's scrip) was when I was doing a vegan diet for cancer, which ended over a year ago or so.

The high protein (meat) diet I normally eat has me plugged up when I do opiates.

Never experienced any addiction or withdrawal from them, including the longest stint I took them for, which was after a triple laminectomy. Just don't have an addictive metabolism for them.

As a youngster, I never liked downers, opiates, etc. Made the world seem like walking uphill through beach sand, and I figured life was already tough enough.

Things that made the world prettier or go faster? Well, that was a whole 'nother story.

Can't eat regular wheat flour breads anymore, but we make a lot of our own substitute breads or buy keto breads of decent quality.

We tend to use a whole wheat pastry flour when we make a New York style whole wheat pizza dough with LOTS of extra gluten and lots of extra olive oil, to give it the elastic, crispy-on-the-bottom, chewy up top outcomes.

I have a spine that's toasted from cervical to sacrum, and all points between.

I was fortunate enough to have so much damage in my spine that the very good neurosurgeon I had wouldn't consider me for fusion or artificial discs, and I had read enough to know that 'Black & Decker' surgery wasn't something I wanted to entertain.

Bad outcomes for most who do it, in short order, down the line.

With laminectomies one has to watch for scar tissue impacting the spinal cord later on, bone spurs growing back where the vertebrae were cut and partially removed, again, later on, or a worsening of the original condition, (Which I'm now experiencing, but the laminectomies got me enough extra mileage to afford my raising our third straggler child, my youngest son, as I'd told my neurosurgeon that at that time, I needed another 5 years of good functioning in the bush and on the water to be able to continue taking my younger son on our missions to the woods and for hauling fish up from the bottom of the lakes and ocean).

I’ve got the grandkids coming over tomorrow for BBQ, Burgers and Chicken dumplings. These should work. I bake bread and pizza dough all the time. I would miss it too if my igniter was out.
Do you grind your own flour? Ive never done it but my cousin does and makes really great bread.

We grow the wheat as well on some family land.

My wife, before I met her, had repaired and refurbished her early '60's Ford.

I'd had a 1964 Ford F-100 short-bed step-side that was my baby, with a 223 straight six, and three-speed on the column, which I'd driven all over North America after rebuilding and blue-printing the engine.

It was kismet.

My mother, brother and step brother all died from a drug overdose. I don't do pills.

My mother died in 1993 from an acetaminophen OD. Being over-the-counter doesn't necessarily equate to being 'safe'.

My father ODed and froze to death in February of 1968, and my sister ODed, slit her wrists and froze to death (not to be outdone) in about 2000 or 2001.

My brother's death went down as a suicide in 1994 on our deceased mother's birthday, but I have a strong hunch that his roommate shot him in the head (not self-inflicted). I have a number of reasons for my conclusions.

I trust myself with pretty much all drugs, whether recreational or Rx. and I've run the circle in this life.

I have no difficulty saying 'enough', as control is one OCD-based symptom of PTSD; keep everything in order, no matter how chaotic the scene is, so as to minimize unplanned derailments, while running a sometimes-high-risk existence, as that emulates what was 'normal' in the beginning of this life.
