My book

My Book

June 3, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

Ah yes…. another post about my book… Over the past few years, I’ve taken posts from this blog, posts from other sources that I’ve written, some sections of a ‘memoir’ that I have not gotten around to writing… and combined them in a book about addiction.

Chapter 4, Pt 2: Stages of Addiction

January 14, 2011 by admin 2 Comments

I am always impressed by how similar addiction progresses in one individual versus the next.  The next reader’s comments and my comments afterward demonstrate a pattern that I have observed in one opioid addict after another.  Throughout the book, comments that I receive from others will be italicized.

Dying To Be Clean, Chapter 3; continued

December 20, 2010 by admin 1 Comment

Why buprenorphine? The partial agonist nature of buprenorphine is behind the usefulness of the drug for treating addiction and chronic pain.  Opioid agonists always cause tolerance, and the tolerance usually causes cravings for more and more drug– no matter whether the drug is being used therapeutically or recreationally.  Tolerance is unavoidable, at least for now … [Read more…]

Physical dependence vs. addiction Tolerance and withdrawal are signs of ‘physical dependence’ on a substance.  Addiction, on the other hand, is a complicated term that has different meanings in different contexts, but generally refers to an obsession or attachment to a behavior, person, or substance.  Many people mistakenly consider physical dependence and addiction to be … [Read more…]

Clean Enough: An Educational Process

November 28, 2010 by admin 2 Comments

Clean Enough continues: An Educational Process I was able to stop using codeine after returning home and to my job in the operating room.  I dodged a bullet– or so it seemed.  I continued to drink wine, beer, and the occasional margarita, but I had convinced myself that drinking was an isolated vice that was … [Read more…]

User's Guide to Suboxone

November 18, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment
