its been 3 days since my last shot of dope, and i am having trouble finding a reason to put up a good fight and stay sober. for the past 2 months, i have used heroin once a week, sometimes snorting because i usually get angry with myself and throw my rigs away after i run out of heroin and say, " atleast this next week i will be sober!!!!" then usually about a 3-5 days after i get that insatiable urge to use heroin again. i know this will lead no where good, and everytime i inject heroin/cocaine i inject like a gram of cocaine in 2hrs along with .3 of heroin, i get too high and end up throwing up like multiple times that night, or i get really sedated and cannot enjoy the euphoria because i feel guilty. it is never that pleasing per se, and i end up having guilty thoughts while i am doing it. thing is i dont really enjoy the high unless inject with cocaine aswell. wtf...
FUCK i want a speedball right now, but i dont. i have so much going for me, the past 2 years i have been to 5 different inpatient rehabs, 2 outpatient, and 5 different halfway houses, i have been in and out of jail multiple times, i was homeless, robbed at gun point, and so much other crazy shit and i cannot go back to where i was. i got out of my last halfway house this past may, and i used heroin once, decided it was not what i wanted, and then i just used kratom a couple times a month for 4 months. then i found out my next door neighbor had a script for hydrocodone, and started using those pills maybe 3-5 times a month.. then i got the brilliant idea to inject heroin. and ever since then i can feel myself slowly slipping back down the hole. i am 20 years old, i have my own apartment, my parents are finally talking to me again and they are SOOO happy that i am sober (or atleast believe that i am), i have been able to have a job, i have never been so happy in my life.
however, i keep going back and forth back and forth. i will get high, then i will decide never to use again, then i call my dealers and tell them never to call me, block their numbers, delete their numbers etc.. then at most 2 weeks later (i can never make it past a week) , i will call them bak or find a need dealer or something and get high, and start the process over again.... it is so ironic that a story never told quite like mine has ever been told before.... who knows, maybe i will stay sober, maybe i will go on chipping for a while, maybe i will get HIV/hep c, maybe i will overdose and die, who knows what the fuck will happen...
that monkey on my back tells me, "one more time wont hurt, there is always tomorrow to get sober and stay clean." then i say no i really dont want this, i know i feel soooo much better about life when i dont use heroin!!!
edit: right after writing this i went and copped some heroin

....just goes to show you how much of a fucking beast heroin and opiates alike are. i feel like i can never get away, but i know in my heart that i can. the most sober time off opiates i have had since i started using opiates 6 years ago was 4 months long, and i wont say i was the happiest, but i loved my life alot better. i guess my ego started to kick back in and negative thinking started to happen again and i got the fuck its and said what the fuck i DESERVE to be happy. but i have to remember life is not always about being happy, that is the duality aspect of my ego talking to me, telling me that there is something to achieve out of life, that things are either black or white, nothing in between. but that is not what life is like, life is ambiguous, and there nothing to get out of life, we are living purposeless lives. by that i mean ok so someone moght have the purpose to get a great job and make alot of money. but once that money is acheived, then that money seems like it is not enough. another example is imagine sleeping on a bed, the side you are currently on is hard and uncomfortable, so you turn to the other side. what a relief! however, in a couple of minutes, that comfortability goes away and you start to move to the other side.
good only comes from the oppposition of bad, but life and the world is not based on duality, only are egos tell us that it is. idk im gfucking high and i am rambling.
