In a few days i'm going to do an opiate cold turkey cure. The Sick Boy method. Basically it takes 120 hours and it's like having a bedridden flu, and for half of that i'll require constant entertainment. Thats where you come in Cinemaphile friends. I want 60 hours of quality television and films recommendations to help me through drug withdrawals.

      Sorry, i'm not into anime.

      friend of mine did this like 10 years ago but what he did was get super autistically into the video game Morrowind. super deep RPG thats easy to really immerse oneself into. player like 200 hours of it over the span of around two and a half weeks. worked for him and has been sober since.

      Not a gamer. I just want tv/films recs, already got some music sorted.

          I’m not a gamer either, (played when I was in middle school), but I had a surgery and wanted to avoid pain meds so I got autistically deep into civ 5 with movies playing on my other monitor. Worked like a charm, one thing to keep you really engaged and another to add more stimulation and background filler.
          I’d recommend something consistently engaging and challenging that isn’t grindy like a 4X or Into the Breach.

          I played nintendo 64 as a kid but I don't have a console or games anymore. Honestly i'm not talking down about games its just not my cup of tea. TV and films are my choice of entertainment especially for opiate withdrawals.

          Good luck anon. We're all counting on you

          Thanks anon. I'll be ok.

          Breaking Bad
          Better Call Saul (3 seasons only)
          The Sopranos
          The Boondocks (funny show)
          Godzilla Minus One
          Ju-On the Grudge
          Ringu
          Resident Evil movies
          Goodfellas.

          All solid picks. I think you would enjoy the cyberpunk anime too but idk

          Probably not the anime. Not disrespect, its just not my thing.
          I've seen BB and will avoid drug shows. I tried BCS when it was airing but didn't like it. II'll try again some time probably after the next BB rewatch.
          I've done a Sopranos rewatch too recently. Goodfellas too.
          The Boondocks is always good for a laugh. Might put on a few episodes. Maybe the Booty Warrior or Lando Freeman.
          Not seen the rest so i'll have a look and see. Thanks.

          if you have an android based tv you could install revanced to patch youtube or SmartTube to remove ads, there's a shitload of stuff on youtube to watch depending on your interests.

          my recs:
          >Hannibal (series)
          >The Leftovers (HBO series)
          >Angel Heart (1987)
          >Batman: The Dark Knight Returns animated adaptation (in two parts, Peter Weller is Batman which is pretty cool, certifiable kino even if you aren't big on capeshit or cartoons)
          >Dungeons & Dragons (2000 version with Jeremy Irons)
          >Not Another Teen Movie
          >Shriek If You Know What I Did Last Friday The 13th

          >Pink Flamingos and Female Trouble
          >The Prophecy (1995)
          >Texas Chainsaw Massacre I and II (III is interesting but not as good as the other two, Vigo Mortensen is in it though)
          >Your Honor (series with Bryan Cranston, surprisingly good)

          A lot of detox from opiates is bedridden and on the toilet. I'll have my laptop handy for youtube and prepare some mindless watching. Films i'll prepare and get on the TV. Thanks for the suggestions, i've seen some and they were good.

      I hate to say it but this will be my 4th withdrawals. I know all too well how bad it is and how the depression will be miserable and can cause relapses.
      First time was injecting heroin and I had to do it while inpatient at a hospital on the methadone reduction and that was bad. I did watch Flight (2012) during it and thats a good film.
      Second was just pills and I did it at home and alone and was just like having the flu. Not too bad. I remember watching Dead Poet Society for the first time and feeling quite emotional about it. I'd guess it was around the time Robin Williams died, maybe 6 months or a year after. Watched it again some time later while sober and it didn't hit the same.
      Third was heroin again and at times it was a hellish nightmare. Again on my own at home but with diazepam to ease me through. Strangely I don't remember what I watched and I should because it was only 2 years ago.
      This time i'm well prepared with supplies. It's only kicking a pills habit. I don't think it will be too bad. The aftermath is a concern but not one i'm thinking about until the withdrawals are done.

I could never get into Game of Thrones and dunno if withdrawals would be the right time to try again. I'll look into Firefly and Serenity.

      No 120 hours will be fine. I've done it before. It's only pills, not heroin and not injecting. The first 24 I can do easy enough. 24-48 is when the urge to use is most difficult and the sickness really sets in. 48-96 is hell. 96-120 and the worst is over. From there i'll be able to start functioning again.

    Quality TV is not what I wanted while cold turkeying opiates. What helped me was dumb comfort stuff like Austin Powers. Stuff that makes you happy. And lots of calming music.

      I'm not really a weed guy anymore. I've got some edibles but won't take them during this because it might risk anxiety or paranoia. I've got 24 diazepam (10mg), as well as promethazine, pseudoephedrine, and imodium.
      I might mix in some comfort movies. In the past I just listened to music for that but it's a good idea.

      Damn bro, if you quit injecting heroin you can quit anything. mad props for that, best of luck anon.

      I hate to say it but in some ways the withdrawals are the easy part. It is hell, everything you ever hear about it is true. But it doesn't take as long as alcohol or benzos. The people in the hospital for those seemed worse off. With opiates its a week of hell and a week of lethargy. The struggle is the months and years after. That itch is always there, in the background and it doesn't take much to break sobriety. At one point I made it 6 years clean, but have obviously started again since.

          Good advice and I appreciate it.
          I have some plans in place. First I need to detox. Then i'm going to focus on getting healthy and throw my addictive tendencies into exercise. Thankfully in this round of addiction i've managed to keep some stability. I've got a job (taking 2 weeks off for the detox). I've got my house and car and i've kept on top of bills. In the past I was a dysfunctional addict, but throughout this relapse i've managed to remain functional. I've got plans for summer already in place. And i'm planning for international travel to the Southern Hemisphere over December/January.
          Until February next year i'm set. I have goals and motivation, and 6 months after a detox is usually close enough that the memory is still fresh and keeps me from giving in to temptation. I'll start deciding my long term when i've got the ball rolling, but first its the detox.

      A girl I was fricking and living with claiming she wanted to get off Opiates did that and I told her that was the dumbest most not smart shit you could do. The point of getting clean is to be clean. You crutch on something else and youll just frick up your baseline with that instead.

      For the record,I left her and a few months later she got arrested with shit on her and imprisoned then a year later arrested and imprisoned again ALSO with shit on her so it definitely didnt work.

        I've seen mixed things about kratom. Surprisingly one of the few things i've never tried.

        Just take DXM. It’s a synthetic morphine analog, so it will bind to the receptors without causing any activity on them. Instantly cures the physical withdrawal symptoms (I.e. restless leg, flu symptoms, and pain.) It’s what I learned to do after quitting cold turkey the first time sucked. I’m not joking about this, it’s been studied as a novel opioid withdrawal treatment, and you only need to take a normal dose of 30-60mg. Also, be prepared to constantly be taking hot baths/showers.

        Not a bad idea. I've got diazepam. Loperamide. Pseudoephedrine. And promethazine. But I could still get some DXM delivered in time. I'm starting the detox on Thursday.

          Ignore everyone who is saying to take other drugs. Including yourself. If wd are “just a flu” to you still, you don’t need any of that. Kratom and benzos and other not over the counter drugs are for people going through major wd(where you are literally begging for death and don’t sleep for a week straight), you don’t need any of that shit. Just get through it and for gods sake stay off it so you never find out what I’m talking about

            because along with the flu-like symptoms there are physiological and emotional turmoil the likes of which cannot be understated.

      RRR was pretty good during alcohol withdrawals, also LOTR/Hobbit if you haven't seen them in a while
      The civil war by ken burns
      Vice Principals

      LotRs films is a possible. Not really into the Hobbit movies.
      Civil War or Vietnam might be a bit much.
      I only ever saw the clips of RRR that got posted here. I'll be honest I doubt it could keep my attention.
      I've not seen Vice Principals but that might be worth a watch. I watched Eastbound and Down years ago and liked it.

      I quit opiates with the help of my ex and lots of chicken soup. Turns out I wasn't as fun without the pills so that's why she is an ex lel. The restless legs and nausea were the worst part of that. The real hard shit to quit was benzos. That almost killed me twice in one. I remember watching Spaced and lots of sitcoms.

      I'll be on my own but i'm prepared. I've got diazepam for the WDs but ever since a bad experience on rivotril in my early drug taking years ive never been much of a benzos man. I rewatched Spaced recently and it still holds up well but it was too recent for another rewatch. Thanks anyway, I appreciate the suggestion.

      Lord of the rings trilogy Is my go to for any long journeys. Good luck anon, withdrawals suck

      It does seem like LotRs are the consensus. The point about it aiding in a long journey is a good point. It's definitely on the cards for a rewatch but i'll have to see how I feel when the withdrawals have kicked in.

      Opiates r moronic and don't give any functional anxiety relief like benzos and alcohol. It's more like a dessert to have every once in a while

      Opiates are my weakness. I wish they weren't but a part of me is glad its not alcohol or benzos.

      Seinfeld and impractical jokers

      I'm about to finish a rewatch of Seinfeld. I'll check out impractical jokers, never seen it so it could be worth adding to my list of potential things to watch.

      Did you try shrooms? Might be good to do a good dose after this withdrawal

      I did shrooms about 30-40 times in my late teens and early 20s. Mostly loved them but also had the bad trips. I've been too scared to touch psychedelics for the last decade. I'd like to try them again one day, when the time is right. But that won't be any time soon.

    I was in alcohol detox for just less than a week a few months ago and didn't have anything to watch except daytime TV in the hospital ward. I think the best things that came on were Jason and the Argonauts and Pope's Exorcist. it probably helped I was monged out on benzos as well.

      I've never seen Jason and the Argonauts but I remember my grandad talking about it. I'll add that my list of potential watches.
      When I did a hospital detox years ago I hardly watched anything. I mostly stayed in my room and had no tv. Methadone and quetiapine was what they gave me. Not pleasant. When the worst of it was over I did watch Flight (2012) which they had on dvd and playing in the common room. That was good. It was just after I got the results of an HIV/aids test back (negative thank god). But I don't remember watching anything else. The alcoholics in there seemed to have it worse than us junkies.

    Watch of all of EastEnders or Coronation Street

    • 2 weeks ago
      Anonymous

      Coronation street has been on air longer than my parents have been alive. It's incalculable how many hours of telly that must be and i'm pretty sure the first 10-15 years are lost episodes. Eastenders is older than me. It's aired something like 100,000 hours of TV.
      I like to listen to the theme songs for nostalgia occasionally but no chance i'm trying to watch either.

      I'd avoid the shield and the wire because of drug use and mentions tbh

      Yeah I wouldn't mind rewatching The Wire but I don't think its appropriate for withdrawals and i'll need a series to watch over the weeks after i'm done with the detox. I'll avoid The Shield and maybe try it again in a few months when i'm properly clean again.

      That's up to you, man.

      I know. I'm just asking for suggestions.

    Idk what kind of stuff is good for feeling sick as hell but I find twin peaks and x-files to be really comfy. The theme songs are both very soothing. And so is Gillian Anderson's radiant beauty.

      I have been meaning to watch Twin Peaks and X Files for years but I might have trouble concentrating and from what I know of those shows I think it might be a struggle and could be better to watch in the next few months when the boredom and depression kicks in and I need distractions.

      watch a dozen westerns

      I might rewatch The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. Its a classic and years since i've seen it.

          watch Trainspotting and Requiem for a Dream and Scarface. best use for them

          • 2 weeks ago
            Anonymous

            I think that poster has a fair point. I don't want to be thinking about drugs while in drug withdrawals. Not a chance i'll be rewatching Trainspotting. For all the dream sequences and unrealistic parts it equally has parts that are too familiar and really do imitate the life of a heroin addict.
            Requiem is quite unrealistic. Entertaining enough, i've seen it a few times over the years. I could probably watch it but why bother watching a depressing film while going through a depressing detox.
            Scarface I could watch. I've done coke plenty of times and never had a problem with it. But i've seen the film a lot of times and it doesnt warrant a rewatch for a few more years yet.

            I don't envy you. It's the worst feeling in the world, one of the worst feelings chemically possible, and it all goes away with one little taste.
            Do your best and put it behind you forever. For me, so far so good. 2 years off and I don't miss it. I replaced it with rigorous daily exercise.
            Oh I suggest watching Gomorrah the Series while you kick.

            Thanks anon. I'll be ok. I'm actually pretty confident. I probably shouldn't be but its not my first rodeo. I am hoping to replace addiction with exercise but I need to get through withdrawals first before I get to that.
            I do plan on watching Gomorrah at some point but in previous detoxes I couldn't really focus enough for subtitles and I want to do the show justice when I get to it. I'll save it to watch after the detox when i'm sober and depressed.

            >I will say for the record even at my worst heroin use I never sucked a dick. I did some terrible things I really regret, but never sucked dick.

      I didn't know that. I'll leave it while doing the detox and save it for another time when im good and sober.

      The original Twilight Zone and Frasier. Comfy and classic.

      I love Frasier but ive seen it fairly recently.
      Never seen The Twilight Zone and have been meaning to watch it. I might see if I can find an episode or two to test the waters.

    Get about 4 or 5 family packs of sugarless gum. Chew it until it runs out of flavor, and then start on another. The good flavor will help keep your brain dumping dopamine in your system, and the constant chewing will keep you focused on something other than how shitty you feel. Worked like a champ to kick nicotine, which is about as addictive as opiates, but not as physically harmful.

      >nicotine, which is about as addictive as opiates

      You ever suck dick for a cigarette?

      Smoking and opiates are a different addiction. Unfortunately i'm addicted to both. Can't really compare them though. I will say for the record even at my worst heroin use I never sucked a dick. I did some terrible things I really regret, but never sucked dick.

      have you got any light hearted comedy? just short stuff to slap on whilst you're miserable is best. when I came out of booze detox I spent ages just sat on my sofa at home watching red dwarf and smoking weed whilst my brain went back to normal

      Not really. I had thought I might rewatch Curb. I've just been finishing up a Seinfeld rewatch and enjoyed it. But all the shouting and nastiness of it might be a bit much. It's fair to say when i'm detoxing i'm a bit fragile. I've never actually watched Red Dwarf.

      I was trying to remember what i've watched in previous detoxes and just saw Will Wheaton is in TNG which reminded me that last time I did a detox I rewatched Stand By Me. I loved that movie as a kid and it still hits me in the feels.

    This is how I quit heroin. Your next two weeks are gonna suck ass. I replaced all my opioids with weed, so I smoke a disgustingly huge amount of it. Fingers crossed you don't replace one thing with another, but anything is gonna be better then the opioids.

    except meth i guess.

      Addiction escalates. It may take years or even decades, but eventually the weed will stop working and you will move back to opiates or speed most likely. Switching substances is not a long term fix.

      I certainly won't be getting on meth. Never much of a stimulants guy. Not weed either. I've been there. The first time I quit H I used weed to get me through but ended up back on morphine, codeine, and dhc. When I stopped them I stopped weed for good. It only makes me anxious and paranoid since. Unfortunately it's opiates that are my weakness and I keep relapsing. This time i'm hoping to swap addiction for exercise when I get out the other end of detoxing.

      Withdrawals are the easiest part of recovery anon. Good luck, you’ll be back to using in days or weeks after if you don’t get help almost 100%.

      Thanks anon. I have clear goals and plans in place for when i've gotten through the withdrawals. Have been considering trying NA again but it didn't help when I was younger.

      Smallville up to S5 or so, it will make you want to be a better person.
      Farscape, I just finished it and it is the definition of soul.
      Psych, it is pretty comfy for a comedy. You might not like the lead though.

      My advice watch as many stand-up clips on youtube you can find

      Not really been following stand up recently and dunno who to watch.

      Kinda jealous
      I wish I had an excuse to just be lazy for 120 hours and just watch movies

      There is a silver lining to everything. But its a bit like long haul flights. After a while on the plane it just becomes painful and this will be like flying to Australia and back twice in a row.

    Xavier Renegade Angel. It's pretty short, probably like three hours, but man watching it while on a life-altering withdrawal would be something else.
    Also while I've never done something like this myself, I recommend electrolytes for your health, and pregabalin (phenibut if you can't get pregabalin) to take the edge off. Just don't go too hard on the pregabalin or you'll have to taper off that too lol.

    Good luck brah!

    Just take DXM. It’s a synthetic morphine analog, so it will bind to the receptors without causing any activity on them. Instantly cures the physical withdrawal symptoms (I.e. restless leg, flu symptoms, and pain.) It’s what I learned to do after quitting cold turkey the first time sucked. I’m not joking about this, it’s been studied as a novel opioid withdrawal treatment, and you only need to take a normal dose of 30-60mg. Also, be prepared to constantly be taking hot baths/showers.

    The physical shit lasts 1 to 2 weeks then you've got months of apathy and severe depression.

    You are not going to be watching much, you will be too sick. You might manage a short episode here and there but you won't be paying any attention to enjoy anything.
