So i got out of prison a little over 3 weeks ago and ive been shooting dope almost everyday (theres been like 3 days i havent used) for almost 2 weeks. I havent used today at all and i feel some mild withdrawl symptoms. Is this just my head playin with me or could i really be sick. And i dont wanna here "you were addicted the moment you picked up the first time". im talking physically addicted and sick
 
Did you use opiates before prison or while in prison?

If you were physically addicted in the past then it only takes a few days of using again for withdrawal symptoms to come back. It's one of the reasons opiate addiction is so difficult. One relapse can easily lead right back to physical dependency and in only a matter of days.
 
Careful not to OD.

Shame the first weeks out of prison aren't spent getting your life together. Instead, you're starting a habit that's prolly going to send you right back in. Just sayin...

Yes, you're physically dependent now. Yes, you're semi addicted and on the path to full blown addiction if you don't stop soon.
 
be careful this is how it starts...... i just came off a year run on some east coast fire .... after being clean for a years...once you start doing it everyday for a couple months it gets hard to stop..... trust me ....now im on subs....
 
If you were a heavy user in the past you can definitely have withdrawals after using for just a couple of weeks. I've quit for years at a time, more than once, and now I get mild withdrawals even from just a few days of use. Needless to say it's really not all that fun anymore, lol.
 
Probably. I haven't even used much heroin at all (~15 purchases over 2 years).

After injecting all day for 3-4 days I get withdrawal, painful enough to not be able to go to work. But can avoid the worst of it with other drugs.

After injecting for 5-8 days (longest I have) with really good quality dope I get pretty terrible withdrawal.

2 weeks for me would suck.
I'd expect withdrawal if I were you, but when it's over that's it, not too hard to stay clean if you get off while you can.

If you must use, only buy enough so that you avoid withdrawal, or have minimal. Worked for me in avoiding long term addiction, but it was still horrible for my health, so I quit while I still could.
