Hello BL, I?ve been using drugs for longer than i wanted, but I?ve gotten to the point of my drug use where I?m injecting and have been for about 2-3 years. There are somethings that I?ve done since I first started IVing that weren?t the ?right/proper? way to IV and now I?m trying to figure out if what I?m doing or how I?m Injecting is correct or if incorrect how can I change/fix it. Some of you maybe wondering why I?m changing things after so long and it?s because I believe that im doing more harm to myself due to improper technique and everything. One example that comes to mind right away is reusing the same needle multiple times. I know this is the first thing everyone learns not to do, but it?s hard not to do. I?m only able to get a limited amount of clean new needles and I don?t want to throw one away if it?s only used once... I?ll use the same needle until I can?t insert it in the vein without having to use a lot of pushing. The most times I?ve used the same rig was 7-8 times and then I used a new one next time. Another thing that I do when I?m IVing is keeping the tie-off on my arm while I?m injecting. I?ve been told and I?ve read that this is really bad for the vein and I shouldn?t continue doing it, but I?ve never had any problems with this at all and I honestly think that the rush/high is much more better because all the drug is going to the brain all together. I think the worst thing I do that while I inject is finding a good vein and using the same spot over and over again until I can no longer register from using it so much. That has cause me to have a lot of scaring on my hands/wrists. I can?t use other parts of my arms because I can?t find any more veins and the only veins that are usable are on my hands/wrists, but I hate having to hide all the scaring and tracks. One last thing that I do but don?t think is the proper way is hoarding all the cottons from pulling back a shot. I save all the cottons in a plastic container with bag and rubber band lid. I save all of them for the times that I?m able to grab or sometimes I?ll use them to make a more stronger shot. People have told me that?s an easy way to get cotton fever, but I have never gotten cotton fever since I started IVing. There?s probably more things that I do while IVing that would be considered improper or the wrong way, but I think that whatever I?m doing while IVing drugs the way I have been for years is perfectly fine. What do you think I should fix or anything else I should/shouldn?t do while IVing?
