Do you guys think that it's possible for someone that was a heroin addict to use again and not get addicted? The most i'm worried about is going through withdrawals again if i use only one more time again. I currently haven't had any withdrawals anymore since i quit cold turkey for the first time. Will I get them for sure? I snort if if you think it makes a difference.

your playing with fire it depends on alot of things are you happy with your life right now.. do you have control.. if your going to i would only do it 1 day.. but unless you absolutly have to and want to, i would just stay strong and stay away
 
I'm going to have to say that as soon as you pick up again you're not gonna have a chance at controlling it. It is extremely difficult for someone who was already addicted to heroin to learn to control it later on. It almost never happens. My advice, don't fuckin' pick it up again..

The way I see it, opaites are a one shot deal. You can enjoy and sue them resposibly your whole life, but not many people do. Once youve crossed that line, into a seriosua ddiction. Your brain chemistyr is changed forever. Its great that youve managed to get clean, its not an easy thing to do. I can gaurantee you though that one hit will put you right back where you were the last time you where addicted to heroin. Sadly you only get one chance to use opiates resposibly, if you fuck up, theres no point going back. Your just asking to go through the hideoous withdrawl process again. You might get a half decent high, once, possibly twise. But itll still be nothing like the first time, its not worth it. Please dont do it, youll regret it so much.
 
dont think so. in rehab, they told me everytime i go out it gets worse and worse, and as much as i hate to say it, i agree
 
Is it possible? Sure. Probable? Unfortunately no. I have never met anybody in over 10 years of using that was able to do it...to be that mythical creature called the "functional junkie". Nobody I know, (people who have been using way longer than even me), has ever seen it either. We've talked about it, hah. You may be able to chip and only use on the weekends for a little while, maybe a month, maybe even a year... but eventually, it ends. I can only base my oppinion on what I've seen over the years. Maybe those people are out there but just keep it really secret, hah...but I doubt it.
 
then leave it at dont justify anything.. thats the problem is when you allow your self to jusfify using or using one more bag.. since you did now you have to be confident and control it i mean get high once or go back to everywhere you already been its ur choice.. id stick with just doing it once one night since you already made the move.. good luck
 
What kind of question is this.

Yes it's physically possible, but no one other than yourself can give you the answer.

honestly, i was looking for justification. i don't know if i regret it. we shall see tomorrow and the next day. thanks to all of you.
 
just because you have the bags doesnt mean you have to sniff em.... Throw em away. You're playing with fire. You know how many people even on this website alone who said fuck it i'll try even just a roxi or a percocet again years after being clean and that throws ya back. Let alone the drug of choice youre just asking for it man. Throw that shit away and go out and do something else, pick up a girl, or guy if that's your thing, go out to eat, read, run, workout. Anything but this, Throw that shit away and make a real mans choice. Don't do this to yourself, Harm reduction is the point of this site, Use the advice given to you here and Reduce the chance of harming yourself all over again. You really feel like shitting and puking your guys up, shakking and hot and cold all day and night? after a little while people seem to forget exactly how bad withdrawls are... I've saw it happen countless times. Make the right choice. Don't be dumb.

This is very true... after a while of being clean, it can be easy to start reflecting only on the fun times getting high and not the pain of the sickness. Makes it easier to relapse because you tune out the part of your brain that is replaying all the pain you went through. That's the sickness just fuckin' with you. However, the OP has posted previous thread about not really feeling any real withdrawal after a year long habit...so he doesn't really have all the pain and bad memories yet. Have no fear, rules...they'll come. Hah. Your kick may have been simple that first time...but it wont be in the future. You'll see. Get strung out just one more time and try and kick, and you'll see the difference. It changes a lot just from your first couple times of hopping on and off the wagon.
 
Im with the above poster 110%. It gets harder everytime. Took me countless " home detoxs " or straight tryied cold turkey and 5 rehabs before i learned this. It gets harder and harder everytime. It's not only tolorance it's duration of use that makes sickness worse or harder. Stay ahead of the game and throw that shit away now before you possible restart and endless circle that all over us have had with dope. It's never going to be positive, only negative once you pass that spot of getting sick. Once you get sick you're fucked, you really only have one chance at opiate drugs like everyones been telling him/her. Im pretty sure by now it's already been mixed up and shot or snorted so i guess we're just spinnning our wheels. I just hope this person listens. Everyone seems to think they got another run in em or this time it'll be different, but it never is and it only gets worse and worse. I hate to see this happen it's a sad thing but it's the persons choice not shit we can do but try and talk sense into them. That's the problem with the internet too, if it was in person it may be possible to talk em out of it, on a webpage people take what they want from what you tell them more so than when in person. I already feel bad for him/her.

Best of luck,

There is one way to not get hooked again. First you have to ride a unicorn to the end of a rainbow. Then you take the pot of gold, and bring it to Bigfoot. He will then give you a secret message for Mitt Romney, who in turn will give you magic underwear, that when worn, will keep you safe from all addiction!

The other answer is no. Those of us with the disease of addiction will always try and kid ourselves or rationalize to convince us that we can use responsibly. It is a sick, insidious disease and the only way to have a life worth living is abstinence. I wish you luck, my friend. Personally, I have been clean for four years and all I know is my personal story: My life is FAR from perfect right now, I suffer from awful chronic pain, my tolerance is beyond anyone my doctors have ever seen (from both being on pain medication from a young age and from my past abuse), and I am having lots of medication issues right now. BUT I would take my WORST day now over my best day of using, without a second thought. I am lucky that I found a program to work that has helped keep my clean and sober, and I hope that you find the same. Just remember that the above poster is correct, just because you have something you don't have to use it, that is just an excuse. Heck, its not too late while you are still above ground. Good Luck!!
 
Hi roxking.

Don't know if this is appropriate to post here or not, but I'm unable to reply to your PM because it says your mailbox is full (we're only allowed 5 msgs in our box??? Really????). Anyway, If you clear up some room I'll be able to reply. Thanks

Fucking lol.


But as others have said, it's possible. Just not very plausible. You knew the answer to this question before you even asked it on here. You knew you were going to go get those bags before you thought about whether or not it's possible. Come back in a month and tell us how badly it sucks to be sick as fuck and no one's answering their phone.

Should have just left it alone, man. You beat it once, why even test it again? You keep asking for the devil, and sooner or later he's going to appear. Good luck though, man.
 
It's possible I'm sure, but highly unlikely. Heroin is a drug that when alot of people try it, they fall in love. It takes the place of their wife, husband, mother and father, and children. It becomes their God. So, is it possible, maybe. But definitely not probable.
