Depends on the situation... certainly IV is one of the most addictive ways to use it, and the most dangerous. If you started doing it now I could definitely imagine it being harder to quit.

I don't shoot drugs anymore but something about the needle just grabs me. One of the biggest hurdles of me getting clean was getting over the needle itself as well as the drugs that go in it.
I still think syringes are beautiful and seeing fat veins typically trigger thoughts of injecting.
That being said, from a psychological perspective, everyone is different. Tinfoil and a straw may have the same psychological trigger to you as a vein or syringe does to me.
Physically more difficult to overcome? I don't have any experience in that aspect soooo... my fingers stop typing

I mostly shot coke and limited shooting dope to a few days a week because I didn't want to get a physical habit. My connect for coke lived with me in Colorado and the corner I copped from when I moved back to Philly had coke, ecstasy, weed, wet and percs readily available and dope was just a few blocks away.
Overall I was a garbage head. Anything that was available I would do but I reserved my money for coke and something for the comedown afterwards (usually dope, weed or alcohol)

From a purely economic speculation, if you have been smoking your dope for five years, you are either fabulously rich, fabulously broke or you have not been getting as high as often as the average needle user.
Based on that i would say it would be easier.

I've never been married and have no kids. I always chose drugs over relationships.
The one woman I wanted to marry couldn't handle the lies and feared for how my using would affect her kids if I continued to use or relapsed again so she ended the relationship.
We are seeing each other on a casual basis now but... who knows?
I'm pretty much open to pretty much any questions. Shit, I've done some fucked up shit but I own that stuff and can't do anything about it now but not repeat it. Besides, the anonymity of the Internet makes it real easy to be honest
ya thats my current situation my g/f left 3 days ago and its weird ive actually managed to stay clean do you think mayb its better for me 2 b single? because honestly i dont have such strong emotions towards her right now cuz i guess im depressed after 5 years of doin dope mayb living alone is good for me even tho its really hard cuz at the same time i know i can come home n get fucked up n not worry bout my girl bitching at me so i feel like this is the ultimet test i guess i just gotta try my best to stay away from home like gym n work n come home late n thats it cuz i work from 10 to 7 then i guess i can stay at the gym till 10 be home by 11 buy my biggest problem is i cant sleep i have alot of xanax but im scared to get dependent on it i really dont even like it i would never take it during the day just stricktly a bar a night for some sleep but i have to stop that eventually cuz im scared but if i wouldnt get those few hours sleep i will relapse forsure what do you think i should do? pls you seem to have alot of experience in life so i would love to hear your opinion thank you

I can only really tell you how it played out for me.
My girl ended it right before I was headed to rehab and I had a LOT of anger concerning that but it was actually a positive for me. It gave me the opportunity to focus on myself without any conditions. It came down to me getting clean for me and not to salvage a relationship.
Sometimes, relationships distract us from ourselves and for me I needed to be comfortable in my own skin and get to know myself better without outside influences to take me outside of myself (ie. girlfriend, work, etc).
I've been in three relationships since getting clean and they each had elements that brought me close to justifying getting high or placing me in situations that would make it easy to get high. That being said, they also provided positive benefits and opportunities for me learn some things about myself.
Keep in mind, your sex drive is probably going to come back in a BIG way (especially since your testosterone will be increased from working out). For me, I sometimes confused sexual energy with emotional attachment. After busting a nut though, I realized that physical/sexual need was way different than the utopian relationships I thought I was involved in
I cool trick I learned was just to kick back and roll with things. If a relationship develops, cool. If it doesn't than thats cool too. Whenever I try too hard or force/manipulate a situation to suit what I think it should be, I usually feel some sort of way afterward because, to be honest, I still know very little about living and how life really works
Play it by ear and as soon as anything stresses you out to the point of wanting to get high, then its time to remove yourself from that particular thing.
Dude, I'm no expert at this stuff. I only have 8 months experience with being clean and trying to implement change in my life. Just keep in mind that yeah, its VERY difficult in the beginning but before you realize, for some reason it becomes easier. For me, it took about 3 months of fear, doubt, obsession and a whole range of emotions before I found it to be less of a struggle
thanx man that really helped me your so right i should just focus onmyself right now n not have to worry bout how shes feeling cuz u r so right when u say the girls giv u a reason to use its so easy to rationalise my using when i get into a argument with my girl i wish you were online now i really wanna ask you what to do so i just called my guy to cop n he is on his way to me now i dont know y i called him i dont really wanna do it 2day is my 3rd day clean what do you think i should do? do u think anyone is capable of just flushing it down the toilet or holding onto it 4 a rainy day i kinda no theres no way but there might me that 1 percent chance i can do it im so confused i wish i didnt call him i duno wut to do

Ditto.
The needle seems to be a habit all of it's own once you reach a certain point. I went from a guy that was scared shitless of needles to someone shooting as much as they could in a very short time period. I had a needle fixation about a month after my first addiction but sadly didnt realize this until i quit injecting.
I don't know if this makes it easier to give up though with all honesty. Either way you still have to deal with the physical withdrawal symptoms as well as the mental ones and ive had bigger habits when i wasent using the needle. I do get cravings to shoot up the meds i get for pain still so there is some of that needle fixation there. Certain things trigger it off and whenever i see one of those people that are blessed with big juicy thick veins i always think to myself with veins like that id sure have me some fun.

i hav really big veins but i honesly thought im less of a junkie cuz i dont shoot but in reality a junkie is a junkie doesnt matter wut their choice of roa is n i also thought im special cuz im the only one out of all my friends that do this shit that never went to shooting
I know i for sure wouldnt be able to just flush it down the toilet or save it, especially while in withdrawals. But you SHOULD because you'll just be kicking yourself in the head once it's all gone and you realize you're back to square one in getting clean.
n then 2morow is friday n no work saturday n i 4sure will tel myself i can use 2morow i really hope this guy flakes out on me n doesnt show up usually i hav 2 cal n anoy him a few times before he comes cuz he has 2 take a 30 min train ride so if i dont annoy him sometimes he wont come lets hope he doesnt come wow im so happy i feel like that usually im staring at the clock telling myself its bin a hour he has 2 be here soon n i get sicker n sicker n when he comes all of a suden i feel fine lol
