I've been doing heroin for quite a few years now, been addicted twice and gone through the withdraws twice. But of course, I still love the drug. I would like to find out a way to do the drug every now and then without getting addicted to it for the third time :-( Or maybe it's best for me to just not do it at all.
 
Maybe a weird suggestion - as I never used heroine.

Try some other drug that is not so easy abuseable like mdma or weed?
 
Weekends and recreationally only would be a good start and avoid dependance/withdrawals.
If you can stick to it.
 
Keep your use to once a week max, in order to avoid physical dependence. Though if you have been addicted in the past, there is a good chance you will become addicted again. Simply maintaining a schedule, is a sure enough sign that you are mentally addicted to the drug. Coming from somebody who has been addicted to opioid for a long time on and off, you are dreamiing if you believe this is maintainable over a long period of time. You can't have your cake and eat it too, unfortunately..

Your best bet is to avoid heroin all together, in order to avoid creating a habit yet again.
 
If you don't fully commit to stopping right this moment? you probably won't for a while. That's how it was with me and my heroin addiction, I'm still blowing 2 8mg HI-TECH subutex tablets a day (the really small ones) and they actually get me pretty high.
If you want to quit doing opiates, you don't have to quit smoking pot, drinking, and shit like that, but staying on opiates is pretty terrible I must say, the high is nice but look what it's doing. If I don't have something in 24 hours, I'd honestly rather die.
 
Unfortunately, once pandoras box has been opened its bloody hard to put the lid on it again. Id stay away from the H if I were you abr57674, youve already been spanked twice by it fella, dont go back for round three.lol
 
Yeah, I guess the best thing to do would be to quit while I am ahead.... but oh how I love it so.
 
Heroin is pretty much an all or nothing drug mate.
You may be able to limit yr usage for a while but slowly but surely you will find yourself with a habit especially as you have already been there in the past.
The only thing you can do is accept the fact unless you want to be addicted to it again you are just gonna have to leave it alone.
 
Is definitely possible to avoid physical dependency, just make sure than you don't use more than once a week. However sticking to a restricted schedule wifh heroin is pretty fucking hard. I think I would prefer to have habit rather than allowing myself to only use once a week. I mean, if I could control myself like that, it would be wonderful, but I feel like I'd spend six days misserable and craving lik a lunatic, and then when I got high, it would probably be ruined by the fact that I'd know I had anotheR six days of anguish before I could use again.

So your best bet is to quit altogether.
 
in my experience, physical dependence on opiates has a nasty way of sneaking up on you. the first time i got addicted, i was getting OC 80's for *almost* free. i was doing halves of them twice a day for several months and when the supply ran out i was like "ah well that was fun." ....12 hours after my last dose i felt my stomach drop into my rectum and suddenly had pretty radical flu-like symptoms which i alleviated by hitting up a regular dope user friend of mine. the rest is history. been off and on opiates for years, now. i never take very long breaks because life without opiates is DULL after using daily for months on end. i am never going back to heroin, though. i just punish myself with withdrawals when cash is low. oxycodone is my D.O.C. *waits for the "captain obvious" responses*
 
I think suboxone would do you well. From what you are saying you are not physically dependant which means your tolerance is lower than someone who does h everyday. I would bet you would feel a nice buzz from suboxone if you keep your use to once a week max. While it is an opiate, i personally feel that its abuse and addiction potential is less than heroin. Don't get me wrong, I am psychologically and physically dependant on bupre for a good 7 months, but I don't crave another dose afterwards , I don't get high, and I there is hardly s rush of euphoria compared to heroin.

You could make script last super long if you dose right and keep time between doses ans using, though suboxone is quite expensive
Idk just food for thought! It may be best for you to entirely avoid heroin, I know I have too..

Good luck, and stay sting man!

Suboxone turns my weener into a scared turtle.
 
I wish I could give you some clear examples of people I know who have been able to "occasionally" use H for any semi-long period of time... however.. I can't.

The drug is so addicting and ruins so many lives for a reason.. and the fact that you've already been strung out in the past just makes it 10x more difficult. The chances of you being able to pull it off are so incredibly slim they mine as well not exist at all. I know it feels good and you want to tell yourself that if you really try, you can control it... and I'm not going to tell you that you can't... But what I will say is that in all my years of using, I've never met anybody who could.. and that tells me something... and it should tell you something as well.
 
I don't understand everyones love affair with this mistress that leaves you broke, sick, impoverished, and depraved. Just say no, at the risk of getting my Nancy Reagan on. Real life can't be that bad.
 
Just quit is the obviously the best option, especially since you have been addicted before. I have done sporadic dosing of opiates that were well planned a long while, but eventually it spiraled out of control. I kept on taking tolerance breaks (which I am somehow good at taking, even long ones), then trying again. But each time I end up not going along with my planned schedule quicker and quicker, and eventually back to daily use.

Anyway, from my experiences the best method is to not single it out to a day or keep it too rigid. Like ONLY SATURDAYS. I find that something more loose and less scheduled worked best for a while. Like AT MOST every seventh day or something...so it is not tied down to a day but rather a length of time.
 
I hate to tell you man, but IMHO/IME for 99% of people with heroin its all or nothing, especially if you've gotten hooked before. Some can successfully "chip" or use once in a while, but everyone I've ever met who wanted to just use occasionally got hooked.

You can make rules like "never more than once a week" etc, but that slowly shifts to "never more than twice a week" and on and on. However I don't know you, and you could be an exception, but you'd need the willpower of a god
 
If you have straight access to it I think you're screwed from trying to use it recreationally. Maybe if you could only get it through a middle man and made sure he didn't get it for you all the time. Heroin is tricky to say the least lmao.
