I used to smoke every night because I literally cannot sleep without drugs. But then I started taking seroquel instead. You should try it. Arguably more healthy. (and works better than weed too)

Off-topic but I tried ceramics and found it to be the hardest thing I ever had to learn. Ceramics seems to be unique in that your creations literally get destroyed right in front of you with no way to go back. (I'm told ceramics people dream of VCS' in their sleep :)

PS: I guess what I'm looking for is a 'work-out' type procedure. Like practicing to run a marathon, you work out and run a lot (I assume). What should I do in order to 'work-out' my CS skills? Musicians practice, athletes work-out, what do computer scientists do in order to improve problem solving skills and knowledge?

Unlike for athletes or musicians, practice in a knowledge field (like CS), seems a little ill defined..

Are you serious? You never talk to police. I thought everyone knew that..

You obviously haven't done drugs or been around drug users before.

The only people who think this is murder are clueless.

What are you talking about? Cheese is not a drug. As a heroin user, I can tell you that the APAP is only mixed in as to make black tar heroin snortable, as black tar is the only kind of heroin commonly found outside of the east coast.

Moreover, APAP is not mentioned in the article at all.

Yes, the addiction is still present. If I stop taking suboxone I will start feeling a little bad (depression, etc) by day 2 and will start withdrawing (feels like a really bad cold) on day 3. By day 4, I would be throwing up and unable to move/function.

The only downside of suboxone is that due to its long half-life, the withdrawals last a long, long time. With heroin you are out of the woods by day 4 or 5, but with suboxone, withdrawels last weeks/months.

I started taking suboxone 5 months ago and it (almost literally) saved my life. Before finding out about it, I thought I was going to be stuck in a hell-hole of heroin dependence forever. You wake up one day and realize that you are completely fucked, and that there's nothing in the world to help you. Suboxone changed that. I started taking it, with no/minimal side-effects, and immediately stopped doing heroin, stopped craving heroin, stopped everything. Finally, I can live in peace without there being a short-fused time bomb just waiting to blow up inside of me.

Thanks to suboxone, I can program and think and live again.
