^Yeah that's cool, but I think I posted this somewhere the other day....
When you can't just easily get dope anytime or you have to go through people to get it, you think it's gonna be so great when you finally have that guy you can call anytime for any amount of dope....but once you can get it that easily like that is when you turn into a junkie...If you love doing heroin and you're gonna do it anyway its great, but removing those extra few steps and not having to give up any dope, and being able to get any amount makes it a virtual guarantee that you'll end up completely strung out! With a middleman, chances are you won't even bother trying to cop with $20-$30....When you have that good connect, you'll be calling up the guy bein like "I have $30, can I get back at you for the other $20", and shit like that....
There's been a lot of times when I was getting dope for people, and I knew they were right on the line of having it be serious....I wouldn't give them the number because I knew that once they had that number, they were all done!
You're young, you're not married and don't have kids, so aside from your family, it's really your life to fuck up! I get tired of lecturing people and I know you know the ramifications of what you're doing, but be prepared to be married to opiates in one form or another for the rest of your life at this point, because that's the just the way it is!
Keep it reasonable and don't do anything stupid or get locked up....16 years later, I can't really say that I regret using heroin or being addicted to it. I love getting high, it's what I wanted to do and I did it. It makes everyone do fucked up things from time to time, but I've actually managed to pull it off without turning into a complete scumbag, which is possible, contrary to popular belief! The only thing I regret is the time I've wasted.....I've still done a lot of things in my life, but it will kill your ambition...You may end up successful to some degree, but you'll never realize your full potential if you use heroin....Which most people don't realize their full potential anyway, so...I guess there's there worse things...
I was off it and now I'm on Suboxone, again! Since I started shooting heroin 16 or so years ago, I've been physically dependent on opiates in one form or another for probably around 12 years out of 16...
This is a funny thing to say, but the key to my longevity in the dope game....I know when to let off the gas and back off for awhile, there's a lot of kids I've seen that start IVing it and go insane and start fucking over everybody and everything, stealing...Never fuck over your real friends or burn all your bridges for drugs...
Lecture over.
