1. My 20 years of permenant Illicit substance use culminated in my intravenously administrating Opiods in Prison . Inmates were always nice enough to share their needles too. If released without the intervention of the OTP my future is / was likely death by opiod overdose.
While I have a far more documented history of Methamphetamine Misuse Disorder, the truth is that I made the decision Opiods are less harmful than the criminal behaviour that resulted from meth induced pscychosis.
Upon release from prison my life circumstances of being socially isolted, suffering depression and anxiety and have litlle hope would have meant a return to using substances. I can access opiods from the internet and do not behave as dangerously or recklessly as while I am stimulants.
While I was in prison i discovered there were a large amount on inmates that were on the Buvidal Injection Program claim that the injections did not give them a feelng on Euphoria, they were just able to function and prepar to live a life that does not revolve aroud feeding their addiction.
I have spent a lot of time researching the Buvidal OTP and am convicned that if givenn the opportunity to find a regular prescriber and treatment center I will turn my life around and live a meaningul and healthy existence. I have now been on prescribed Opioids not for 6 weeks and have recommenced a healthy lifestyle and a Bchelors Degree in Business Enterprise and Information technology.

In this period I spent my weeks working hard at a refractories solution plant, selling cannabis and MDMA to school teachers, sky divers, musicians, uni students and construction workers.
On 1 April 2014 I developed sever psychosis that revolved around a new found belief in God and how the world was created.
I became unbearable to be around and my friends soon grew sick of my ranting at them.
I lost my job of 3 years that I really enjoyed because of my substance use.
I moved back to my parents house and lived in a garden where shed.

It is most certainly true that cannabis is a gateway drug. From 17 I was smoking at least a gram of marijuan a day. Because I came from a privaledged family and has very supportive parents I was still able to complete my HSC and the The Illawarra Grammar School andgain admission into Wollongong University. At this age I was playing rugby union for Country NSW and toured New Zealand.
In 2003, I would mix base amphetamine with glucose poweder and snort that while selling MDMA pills at nightclubs. I was in a serious relationship with the most attractive and popular girl from high school and we moved into our own party house aparment straight after school. Despite using everyday I still completed a Bachelor of Commerce Degree and work full time as a labourer at the Port Kembla Steelworks.
In 2009, my life changed permantly when girlfriend (nearly wife) ruined many relationships after she engaged in some teririble behaviour after spending one night smoking cocaine and abusing alcohol.
I spirralled into a a cycle of depression and from that point on have taken illicit substances to escape life when I once used them only to enhance it.
Drugs that I once had always viewed as taboo including Herioin and Crystal Methamphetamine become an option.
In 2010 I was first introduced to Opiods when I was prescribed Oxycondone after disclocating my shoulder attempting to play rugby.
I soon discovered it was possible to purchase codeine over the counter at any pharmacy (if the government had not banned this in 2018, I would already be dead).
During this period of time I researched how to extract the codeine from the ibopforfen by mixig it with water and extract the codiene.
I would ensure I did not fix evidence of dental pain so that doctors would prescribe painkilers without much investigation.
Our cardiac rehabilitation program is designed to help patients recover from a heart attack, heart surgery, or other cardiac event. We provide supervised exercise programs, education on heart-healthy lifestyle choices, and emotional support to help patients regain their strength and confidence.
In 2017, after losing my drivers licence I discovered how to purchase OxyCondone from the dark web.
Because I was undergoing treatment for extreme anxiety and depression I had a prescription for clonazopan from 2017 - 2020.
During this period I had no dersire to work or move out of living with my parents. I was socially isolated and life was meaningless.

I started smoking cannabis daily from the age of 17.
When I started working at the steelworks and attending university I would both sell and consume Speed (Base) and MDMA pills. From 2004 - to 2009 I would have to spend at least one night a week party or it didn't count as a proper weekend.
The problem that I always had up until 2011 was that I felt I needed something to help me in social situations.
In 2009 I had a relationship breakdown and was also unable to visit my main source of the party drugs. I developed Depression and social and anxiety.
In 2011 I discovered crystal methamphetamine and was addicted straight away. It solved my social anxiety and relieved me of depression.
In 2014 After losing my job, girlfriend and nice apartment I developed a mentality that I must be high everyday and that I would strive to escape reality everyday. My crystal meth use increased and because I would injest rather then smoke it, this would mean I would go for long periods without sleep.
I was prescribed an anti-psychotic from south coast private that I stopped taking nearly instantly.
In 2015 I was prescribed effexor and diazepam by terralong Street Surgury to address the anxiety and depression.
In 2016 I discovered codeine and other pain relief medication. I developed an addiction to opioids that meant I would head to travel long distances to multiple pharmacies to by codiene.
I chose to do this over sourcing crystal methamphetamine.
At this time I was convinced that an ADHD stimulate type medication would solve all my problems of codeine and amphetamine addiction so I would tell all health Practioners that I mix meth up with panadol to make up my own form of ADHD medication.
In 2017 I was unable to source any opioids or amphetamines so I would smoke up to 3.5 grams of cannabis a day. I also had a script for diazepam.
In 2018 I worked out how to purchase opioids over the internet and started using oxycontin as often as possible.
I rarely would use heroin because I did not use Needles at that stage.
In 2019 I was prescribed oxycodone as a result of using to many codiene pills and nearly over dosing.
From 2019 - 2023 crystal meth has been the most affordable drug that I could take with others not knowing I was on it.
In 2024 I started Injecting heroin as my meth induced psychosis was over and I preffered the effects.
What's something exciting your business offers? Say it here.
Due to my opioid and other substance abuse issues and I have lost all friends and the respect of my family. I once had a large group of close friends I could socialise with and no there is no one. I have had not had a serious relationship in 10 years and disclosing on a dating app that I am unemployed and living with my parents has not proved successful.
I plan to rebuild social networks by attending NA meetings and participating in a long term residential rehab program.
The main reason I have been abusing substances is my extreme social anxiety.
Because my substance misuse had resulted in a several criminal charges I ended up in prison at Silverwater MRRC and long Bay for 6 months. It was in jail that started using opioids daily and was prepared to perform unsavoury tasks to attain the drug. I was using opioids intrevenously and was put on the waiting list for the Buvudal program. Many inmates who also suffered from substance misuse disorder said that the injection did not make them feel high but it took away their cravings and need to resort to Illicit substances.
I have not held a meaningful job since 2014 which a compiled in the image below. I have also lived with my parents since then.
Due to substance misuse, I have always been unreliable and only provided in positions I am not suited to as I have no recent work experience and because of my criminal record.
Being on the OTP will mean I am able to maintain some order, have money to live indepently and not have to constantly endure the effort of sourcing Street drugs.
On my next in person consultation, the form that requests all my medical history can be sent through that will provide overwhelming evidence of my depression, anxiety and substance misuse. I was asked to stop coming as a patient because I was presenting with problems that required a solution prescribed by a Psychiatrist. Please see the list of prescribed medications I have had over the years and this will prove the OTP is perfect for my illness.
A discharge summary and history of attending psychiatrist consultations and impatient programs will confirm that none of the solutions offered by this respected facility have had any affect on my opioid and other Illicit substance seeking behaviour. I first attended SCP in 2014 where I was diagnosed with drug induced psychosis. In 2019 I was provided diazepam and on another occasion I was asked to leave early because I was convinced that certain amphetamine based medication would solve all my problems.
I have completed the residentul program at the Hills Clinic 3 times now and based on early results combined with the researched being started on the OTP may yield positive results. I was reffered to the clinic on one occasion for opioid misuse (oxycontin).
