I only became a member of PR about a week before the recent mega event that caused so many to flock to DBG... Before then I used to chance it a lot with OP's & IOP's, but regularly checked both PR & DBG out as sources. However, I never felt comfortable enough joining either, as I felt I had nothing to contribute. Who knows, some of you may feel I still don't! :-)...

Anyway, my point is, I have interacted with some cracking folks on here, half of you, unbeknown to me we're members of PR...

After the recent re-appearance of PR, I have been over there and had a look around and made a few posts...

I have noticed a few of the members who flocked here (not the ones I have interacted with), while not bad-mouthing DBG, talking about DBG on PR slightly disrespectfully, just in the odd passing comment or two, like it was just a place to hang about, while the new house was being built so to speak :-(...

Now, don't get me wrong, I realise that for many of you PR is and has been your home for many years and I fully respect that...

However, we are all in the same boat and like I've said in previous posts, we are here primarily to share knowledge and help each other out in the 'very real' ups & downs of our every day lives...

I guess what I'm trying to say is, friends are friends, no matter how or where you meet them, in person, online, in space (ok, I made that one up! ) and it's that collective harmony if you will, that make these places what they are... It doesn't matter what username you have or where you come from. It's the interactions, reassurances, kindness, compassion, caring and trust and knowing you're not alone in the way you feel, whether it be ecstatic joy or absolute fucking misery, that connects us.

But most of all it's hope, the hope we can help each other and be helped by one another as we all struggle through our own personal battles...

This is by no means an attack on PR members, it's just something I have observed is all...

I consider DBG to be my true home, my first home if you will, I'm comfortable here. But I'm so glad to see that the PR members that flocked over here, are still here and hopefully aren't going anywhere, cause you folks are a big part of DBG being my home :-)

Much love to all here and PR :-)...I hope I haven't offended anyone...

I love your posts P and I'm very glad you're here and actively posting. In real life noone really understands my issues. It's nice to talk to people who don't just label you crazy or an addict and dismiss your problems out of hand. I like hearing from other people about how they've dealt with it and what meds work or help some. Gives me hope from those who are coping well after years with it or at least commiseration for the ones that are still struggling like me.

Great post.

 
Sometimes in a forum or anywhere on the internet where there is no tone of voice or facial expression, words can be taken out of context and often misinterpreted. I'm not saying thats the case in this situation but I'm just tossing that out there as I think its something that should be remembered by all when reading things. 

I am a long time PR member that came here when they went down but I also plan on staying here as well. Having been at PR for so long, yes, it does feel like home to me and to many of us. I'm still a newbie here so of course it doesnt feel the same as PR yet. I cant speak for all PR members but I do think that most of us that landed here were very appreciative of the warm welcome we received. Whether any of us decide to stay or not, at least it gave us the opportunity to see what its like here, something that may not have happened if PR had not gone down. As in any forum, some will like it and some wont. Its all good. This forum was running perfectly fine (or so it seems) before we got here and I'm sure it will continue to run fine even if all of us were to leave. 

The two forums are very different but as you said, the main purpose is to share information and help others.

I wasn't ever accusing anyone of not being grateful, as am I, I am grateful to both DBG & PR for taking me in :-)...

Like you say, without the benefit of facial expressions and body language, it is very easy to misinterpret things...

It was just a casual observation on my part and I meant no offence to anyone, I guess I was just being a bit too protective of my new home? I guess in a roundabout way, I was just trying to say that we're all part of the same family really, with exactly the same aim, to help each other out, if and whenever possible...

And like you say, if it wasn't for PR going down, lots of us would not have met, and I for one am honoured to have met all of you, and I'm glad you and many others are sticking around Mira, cause it wouldn't be the same without you :-)

I know for me I lurked around for awhile before I felt at home here. I am so glad I beame an active member. We are glad some of you decided to stick around. I have loved reading your post & comments & I looked at PR at one time but it wasn't the right fit for me. I'm sure a lot of the PR members felt the same way about DBG. Starting out new would be hard as you have to earn trust & that takes time. We are glad you are here

  1. ontovzik @ ontovzik: When I had long term shingles, lasting two months. All he could give me was a 10 day supply of dilaudid. He looked at the ground while we were talking about it. I could tell he was ashamed but it was the legislature and the governor that tied his hands. He was very upset that non-medical political people, the media, and the scared public were controlling how he treated his patients. Someday those people will need meds and a hospital bed and they will be gone.
  2. ontovzik @ ontovzik: I had a great doctor, he had the true gift of a healer and he stayed on top of all the science. He straight up told me that for many people opiods work for managing short and long term pain.
  3. ontovzik @ ontovzik: He peed it in the snow in my backyard.
  4. WTF7218 @ WTF7218: @xenxra 😆😂. Yes, but only a few brave souls will ever find the number. You must first order a Dirty Shirley from the bartender. Then you must discreetly take the cocktail napkin from under your drink and unfold it. There you will find the map to the location of the phone number, and clues to decipher the code that it is written in.
  5. xenxra @ xenxra: he left his phone number scribbled in a stall at the pub three blocks down
  6. aBBazaBBa123 @ aBBazaBBa123: @rockychoc How do I contact you?
  7. N @ NYStateofMind: @Alkazar I would try one of those easy online ones .. reddit gives useful info about that
  8. Alkazar @ Alkazar: @NYStateofMind I dont really have a history of abusing things, my docotr is just really stingy. I am thinking of switching.
  9. C @ Cheesus: Thanks xenxra
  10. xenxra @ xenxra: @Cheesus yeah, use snote
  11. P @ psychedpsych: Trump is cracking down….
  12. P @ psychedpsych: Hackers are the scum of the earth
  13. N @ NYStateofMind: so it was easy bc of my history
  14. N @ NYStateofMind: I didnt really tell him but he knew I needed a new script since my dr went to jail
  15. N @ NYStateofMind: @xenxra I was on Adderall since 15 years ago so my dr prescribed that w no problems and then when I lost my best friend my doctor rxed the valiums but
  16. C @ Cheesus: Temp.pm down for anyone else?
  17. xenxra @ xenxra: @NYStateofMind my doctor's have always been pretty open minded if i can actually come in and explain the pharmacological action of the drugs im seeking instead of just telling them why i think i should be prescribed. the only time it didn't work out for me is when i was trying pharmaceuticals for depression ten years ago and suggested they let me try testosterone instead (turns out i was hypogonadal so they made a mistake denying my request at face value)
  18. T @ Testisthebest: Even down here in Florida when the pill mill docs all switched over to Suboxone and/or retired you can still find some pretty liberal docs but you gotta know what to look for. Mine does "pain management, detox, anxiety,etc. And no insurance. My doc writes me 60 5mg Valium, 14 2mg Xanax and asked if I had ever tried adderal to get more focus at work as I told him I run my own business.
  19. N @ NYStateofMind: @Alkazar do they know your history? Like I dont tell my doctor anything about myself except what they need to know,...I was able to get my dr to rx the highest dose of adderall along with valiums ..... if they dont know your history or there is no history I would just come out and ask what is the reason for their mistreatment.... they have no problem billing your insurance or taking a payment for the visit
  20. T @ Turbo259: @Layne_Cobain Thank you fam
