Detailed Experience 'Love of Injecting Ritual' more than the drug - Warning Explicit!

* W A R N I N G ! *​
NOTE:: This is my personal and detailed experience with my 'Needle Fixation' and the 'Intravenous Drug Injecting Ritual' so it's written very explicitly.
Do not read on if this content will trigger you, leave this page now...you have been warned!

In Love with the 'Intravenous Drug Injecting Needle Fixation Ritual' more than the actual drug itself::
These are my personal thoughts and emotions about the love of the ritual of injecting intravenous drugs so it is written very graphically in a first person perspective to get the true full impact, mindset and thoughts and emotions about what goes through my mind in the build up to the injecting process. I DO NOT discuss the actual pushing of the plunger, or the drug effects and stop just before hand. Although I was tempted to describe the rush and effects etc in my colourful use of language lol, but that may have been looked upon as glamorizing the drug experience, so maybe that can be my sequel ;)

This thread is not meant to glamorize IV drug use which we all know is a very dumb, stupid, dangerous and unhealthy practice, not to mention very addictive to most that have tried this ROA, and potentially lethal.

I always wondered why anyone would find pleasure in stabbing themselves with needles as I have always had a major fear of needles for the last 47 years to the extent I would not even get blood tests done, until a lady friend introduced me to IV'ing a year ago after I said I would give it a try but just as a oncer.

The Ritual::
All week I've been waiting for this day to come like a kid waiting for Christmas, fantasizing, lusting, day dreaming, waiting, waiting and more waiting...
I'm feeling excited and semi-euphoric just walking out of the Pharmacy with my weekly pickup of prescribed medications, as I know in about one hour I will be in blissful ecstasy.
I eagerly rush home in a dream-like state floating one foot above the ground with my bundles of joy in plain sight and closely guarded like the crown jewels. I glance occasionally at my goodies with the same flirtatious look you give your lover. My ritual has just begun.

I love the preparation stage immensely and drag it out for as long as I can, for me this is like foreplay.
The bottom drawer in my dresser has all my injecting equipment, 200+ assorted syringes, varying sized gauge luer-lock needles, cotton filters, various sized micron wheel filters, alcohol swabs, sterile distilled water, assorted professional tourniquets, sharps containers and my trusty, shiny silver soup spoon. (thanks to the needle exchange)

I carefully set out all my medical equipment neatly on my bed and bedside dresser in tidy piles with the precision of a surgeon, and now my room does look like my own private surgery.
I subconsciously feel like I'm a Doctor or Nurse prepping a patient, some kind of twisted role playing game is being acted out and I'm totally immersed in it and enjoying every minute of it too.

Hands washed, spoon sterilized and alcohol swabbed, the room is quiet as there is no need for music yet so I can hear the amplified sounds of this medical procedure. The sound of blister pack foils bursting open and the tablets clinking as they fall into the spoon, the tearing and crunching sounds of cellophane and paper from luer-lock syringe and needle packets being ripped open, which are attached to the barrel like a silencer of a gun.

Sterile distilled water is added and the tablets swell and magically dissolve like fluffy marshmallows, the mixture is lovingly stirred with the needle cap until it disappears and turns into a liquid solution, cotton filter added, solution drawn up, micron filtered, the clink clank sound flicking the syringe with my fingernail is music to my ears. I am hypnotised watching the air bubbles rise to the top of the syringe with the same familiarity as gazing at my favourite sparkling wine's bubbles float to the surface in a wine glass. A fine jet of white laser-light liquid potion squirts out of the needle tip like a water fountain. I'm ready.

I'm in a trance-like state now as all my senses are extremely heightened and totally aware, concentrated and focused. Time has no meaning or use, there is no yesterday, there is no tomorrow, there is only now, this wonderful moment.
Alone in my room I catch a momentary glimpse of someone in the mirror, a man with a silly smirk on his face and glazed-over eyes staring back at me. It does not register.

The strong scent of isopropyl alcohol wafts through the air from the alcohol swabs being unfolded, I feel the alcohol swabs refreshing coldness glide over my skin like ice. I hear velcro mesh together as the tourniquet is gently fastened around my arm, immediately my veins spring to life and begin to bulge.
The tension is mounting as I try and steady myself and get my body comfortable and in the right position, I take a few deep breaths to get rid of any twitches and nerves. I can feel my blood pulsing through my body and can hear my heart beating so loudly I'm sure my neighbours can hear it as-well.

I mentally picture myself standing on a sprinter's running track shaking my hands at my sides, head rolling from side to side, just about to enter the starters block, that's the feeling I get every time, complete excitement mixed with nervous anticipation.

Absolute precision and accuracy are what's required next for a successful shot. One false move and its all over, a wasted shot if I miss and all that preparation and waiting for nothing.
I grip my implement the way I've been shown many times before like a delicate pen, spinning the barrel till I see the bevel of the needle catch a glint of light and it sparkles almost like an eye winking at me.

Vein ready, check. Bevel up, check. Angle ok, check. Grip ok, check. Two fingers on the plunger to jack back when registered, check. It's time.

I slowly inch the needle point closer and closer towards my favourite spot, the needle tip pierces my skin and enters my arm and the cold stainless-steel needle slowly disappears out of sight. I feel a faint sting, a little pin prick but it's slightly delayed, almost like watching a badly copied movie where the audio and video don't match and are not in synch.

I pull back gently on the plunger, and to my delight a dark cherry-red splash of vibrant colour enters the barrel in a swirling motion. I get an instant wave of relief that washes over my entire body and begin to relax now that I'm successfully plugged into my life-giving oxygen network. Tourniquet's released.

There's only one thing left to do.

The slow, steady, push....

Man, you make me want to IV :D goto love that classical conditioning. I myself have a bit of a love affair with foil, though i'm probably not eloquent enough to write something like this about it.. "that sweet crumple, that sound of metal crinkling against metal, like the very voice of God whispering in my ear" =D=D

this might be in the wrong section though, may be better suited in Drug Culture or in Words.
 
I'm going to see if any of the DC mods want this otherwise it's getting closed.

And fuck you man, I'm 14 days off an IV fetish myself. :!

Haha.
 
I honestly don't know if this would fit anywhere.. it doesn't fit with the BDD format I'm afraid (and is already triggering people, haha..) Drug Culture is the only place I can think of so I'll try it there but bear in mind it may be closed. If so, as BDP says, you could c+p it into a blog :)

DC mods - sorry if this is inappropriate, we just couldn't think what else to do with it!

BDD > DC
 
Hey Tripman,
I apologise I didn't mean to piss you off or make you fiend etc, but it is a Drug Forum right?
And your a Mod on a drug website hehe...is that an oxymoron or what?
Wouldn't it make you hang-out reading about drugs all day, I don't get it I must be thick and drug-fucked (like my name lol)
I mean I can't really post it on my Facebook page ;)

Anyway Tripman good luck with the IV fetish recovery, I wish you well friend and fellow addict!

Hahaha I was only joking man :P.

Obviously I am a drug fiend anyway, modding BDD means you gotta take a lot of drugs, it's a pre-requisite. I only quit needles like 14 days ago. I love the sight of the blood registering in the syringe.

Oooft.

Thanks man, I almost broke it and IV'd a boatload of morphine yesterday, but I managed to not do it. :D
 
Hey BrokedownPalace & effie & Tripman,
Thanks for the tips and support guys, it's just an honest and truthfully blunt walk through about my fucked up addict mind of how it is for me, more so about the thoughts and feelings I get than the actual action, well that was the idea.
The days when I want a bit of recovery I go on Facebook and read "I just had a ham sandwich for lunch...delish" haha

Hey Tripman you got me there bro and I'm sober and straight at the moment, so imagine how slow I would be spun lol ;)
Well done for not giving into temptation with the Morphine...big pat on the back bud :) I was supposed to be getting some today but my mate didn't receive it yet so next week hopefully.
Peace Out & be Safe - Bluelight Rocks!
 
I think we already have a thread on falling in love with the ROA and ritual more so than the actual drug, but I'm going to let this one stay open exclusively for the IV ROA. It's a good read, for sure. So, on that note, please... continue. ;)
 
shit this is like porno for ex IV users.

Pfffffft! DrugFucked, I wasn't too anal about the prepping and cooking shots so long as I knew everything was sterile, but once cooked up and looking for a decent vein to go in I'd get strong anticipatory rushes, like a conditioned endorphin release before I'd even broken the skin. Once i was in that first bloom of blood in the syringe was almost akin to post-orgasmic sometimes, especially when you're rattling your tits off and have been struggling to find a decent raisable vein, massively pleasurable in its own right, before you even push on the plunger the first time, and against all the rules on IV good practice I'd trickle in a little gear, flush back into the pin, trickle some more, flush some more, all the while making the injection last as long as I could. Always a slight sigh when I realised I'd flushed more than was strictly necessary or even remotely still useful and so the ritual was over, till next time.

Think the conditioning around IVing is different from other ROAs. Sure, tearing sheets of foil and folding them and rolling them just so is a pleasurable part of the almost ritualised stages of getting the foil and the gear and the lighter and the cigs all to hand and sorted so you could chase up as casually and leisurely as you pleased, but there is something darkly intimate about steel sliding into flesh in a way that invites that kind of ambiguous eroticisation of the act itself, and easy to see how it can come to be so overlayed with conditioned responses.

Yes I totally agree about the endorphin release before you actually push the plunger, even if it is placebo or not the feeling is real, but it lasts longer with real gear in the rig. I too have done dangerously stupid IV'ing things like shooting water, then saw a video on You&theTube of a guy jacking-back an empty syringe and injecting straight blood, so gave it a try too. Wouln't trickling a bit of gear then jacking-back ruin the main big rush? (but I can see it would pro-long the ecstasy and experience.

Steel sliding into flesh is a wonderful site for me, I'm sure it would be more erotic for a women with it's subtle, sexual overtones ;)
I got a mate back into IV'ing once a week with me, but she also got me into her ritual of smoking meth with a pipe, watching the white, twirling, billowing clouds of meth is almost as addicting.

I definitely have known people like this but I'm more into the drugs than the needle. I am more and more leaning towards IM buprenorphine instead of IV use as well.

Do what you do though, just be safe, and know what you should always be looking out for. :) Other Drugs has tons of helpful information for injection drug users.
 
Hey Captain.Heroin, Don't get me wrong I MOST definitely do like the drugs, you could count the times I have injected water on one hand, well maybe two lol. My long-winded and overly dramatic original post was just about making a point about preparing your drugs in what ever ROA is a rush too. Also if that was the case I wouldn't actually need real drugs and could save a lot of money ;)

Am just curious, but why would you want to go back to IM after you have felt the instant effects of IV use?

That's just it. By this point I'd been on H 5, 6, 7 years, injecting for the last 3 or 4 of them, so there was no rush to be had any more from the gear itself. Even higher doses way above what I needed to straighten out and feel normal had very little in the way of immediate reward left. That's probably why I ended fixating on the needle cos there were conditioned responses to it that in many ways were more intense than the gear I was shooting, and more pleasurable..

Damn tolerance is a bitch! :(
Unfortunately you never get that same intense high after the first time time you do a drug, and are always chasing that first good high from the drug that never happens unless you do dangerous amounts...but even then that's the closest you will ever get. From what I have observed and experienced, it's like trying to be virgin again lol...you will get your rocks off and feel sassyfied etc. It seems to desensitise the receptors after years of abuse. But that's my opinion and hey what the fuck do I know I'm just a junkie ;)
 
Damn dude. I've never even IV'd but reading that makes me feel like I know exactly what you're talking about. Fucking good read, for sure!
 
i'm the opposite. I LOVED the feeling it produced but was terribly bad at it....missed like 90% of the time. Thats why i haven't done it in over a year...wish i was good at it :(

I'm the opposite of that. I have never missed, and I always register on my first try. However, I don't like the rush from it, and I worry too much about overdosing, so I stick to sniffing it 95% of the time. I also prefer the longer, more moderate peak from sniffing, so the high and duration is preferable to me over that of the IV roa.
