Hi all, I've just started injecting meth after needing someone to "nurse/doctor" me off and on for years. So far, my biggest challenge is after I've stuck myself, transferring my fingers on the needle from the grip I use to poke, to the proper grip I need to pull back the plunger. The way I'm doing it now, I can't pull the back the plunger! It's so frustrating.
Does anyone have a photo/video/drawing to illustrate this???

Thanks so much!

*Also, I'm 45, I love drugs, been doing them forever, so, keep any "don't inject/don't do meth" advice to yourself . Peace

Good morning! So you're saying once you poke thru and you're ready to draw back but are having trouble making the adjustment... Yeah its gonna be tricky for a bit, but you'll get there...

I'm thinking of what I could suggest without actually being there that may help...
 
I've injected a lot of drugs (including meth) in the past and I gotta say that I just don't recommend shooting meth. If you miss, it's a bitch. If you need that quick rush, smoke it or plug it. It's damn near as good and far less risky.

Ok so I thought of what freaked me out the most about doing the entire prep and injection all alone...
I was always soooo tripped out about moving the needle one tiny bit because it was inthe skin/vein already and it may hurt or do damage-so as a result of my focusing --well pretty much all I had on NOT judging thw needle, I couldn't do shit otherwise lol... If this situation sounds familiar, I want you to insert the needle enough til its draw back time... Then lay the needle down across your arm

What I want you to realize, is that needle is just fine--sticking in your vein and hanging... This will prove to yourself it's alright for the needle to move a little if needed...

Lol... Sorry, some words are messed up I noticed in my post 🤦😂.. Just so you're not confused-it will take a couple times of slow and easy... Always remember, you shouldn't ever put yourself in a place where you are hiding it (shooting up) from whoever and decide too rush the shot the shot anyway... I say that because out of shooting up for 23 years, I always found myself in a stressful spot that I had to keep an ear out or an eye out for a fanily member who is naive to. The new route of admin.. That happened probably for 1/3 to maybe 1/2 of all shots over 23 years...im such a dummy... But hey thats what addicts do... Just try your best to avoid it

Absolutely.. And Then what I remember doing was trying a couple different grips on the shaft stable using thumb pinky and ring finger.. Then once your still with that grip in place-use the pointer and your bird finger to pull back

The grip that will bring you success will surely take a little practice --its awkward as fuck doing it for the first time ...

Oh shit! You're the same guy! Lol wow. Ok my bad. I thought the "don't do drugs" message was from someone different. Sorry! I appreciate the well-intentioned deterence speech, but respectfully, I am consciously doing this. I'm 45, so by now, I know what I like and what I can handle. So don't feel guilty! I'm not some fresh little daisy you're corrupting :) You're just helping a fellow traveller
