Any Heroin Users Get Told they look GOOD?

Opiates and opiods make you retain intracellular water. It's whats holding me back from taking my bodybuilding to the next level; Leaves me looking soft and not as defined as I really am. I'm on 100mg of Methadone a day, I have been for 3 years. I eventually need to lower and lose the Methadone all together or see if a diuretic (a safe one because they are deadly if abused) will do the trick.

3 days without Methadone and I have an 8 pack when I wake up. That's as far as I can go without dosing.

I'm on $20 bucks a day (give or take) snorting. I inject a tiny bit once every couple of days... But I don't think I'm even doing THAT right... My sister is very overweight and has a thyroid problem and takes both thyroid meds and diuretics (and I believe she is drug free except for some pot). But, It makes her very sick. However, I had an issue when it was 100 degrees for 5 or 6 days straight where my ankles and feet swelled up like an old lady. I thought it could have been the dope. The doctor thought it was all of the salt I was eating. No real home cooked meals for a while, but pretzels, mcdonalds, cheetos, cookies, microwave weight watchers meals - even THOSE are full of sodium.

So I cut the sodium out for a week and my ankles stopped being cankles but were ankles again...

Thanks for the info Guido!

im 30 and look like im 23 or 24 lol.. basically a few years after i was really strung out. thats on the outside tho, inside i feel like im 60. its not so much the drug that ages you its the whole lifestyle as im sure everyone can attest to. not eating, no sun, keeping dope hours. top off crazy sit you do to score you run the risk for getting beaten, stabbed shot, run over and whatever else.

the one thing i noticed that dope almost turned my skin grey. kinda looked dead on my feet. As for being told i looked good, it was mostly by other dope heads probably.

Agree

Whats up mediccine im near baltimore too
 
Hmm... I still get told that I look good from time to time, but it's less often now than before, and I can understand the reason for that.

I still put myself together just as well as before, with a little bit of cologne and clean shirts, usually a nice button-down and, in the fall, a nice sweater.

It's my confidence, man; my confidence is in the shitter right now, and no one really "looks good" when they don't feel good about themselves. Know what I mean?

This is key. The energy one "oozes" is what makes one attractive. If you're not feeling it, others won't feel it either...

Also, have you ever met someone who just rubbed you the wrong way - there was no real reason, just something about them? It's the "ooze" - they don't necessarily carry a bad vibe, they're just not vibe-ing with YOU, sort of thing. This might be some sort of crazy new agey thing, but I believe it.

Also, Verso - if you're not feeling confident. Fake it. Smile. Know you're awesome and fuck everyone who doesn't feel the same way...! (not literally - but you know what I mean, yeah??) I do that a lot. Fake it 'til I make it! And a drink usually helps. =D

It's funny because this is true, even though the junkie stereotype portrait by popular culture such as Calvin Klien and the whole heroin chic fashion "movement" focused on being gaunt and anorexic. Im a very thin person naturally, and I definately do carry the above described look. However, I do notice that whenever I've had a really big habit, my face gets a bit puffy, even though the rest of me looks completely skeletal. I've noticed this a lot in street junkies as well. The fact is that there's no real reason that opiates themselves should make one skinnier, though some experience a loss of appetite (or just vomit) while intoxicated.

But on a whole, it would make more sense for people to gain weight on dope. I feel like the only reason I do look like a fucking emaciated vampire junky is because I actually eat healthy food, and since I live in New York, and when im on a run, I'm litterally running all the fuck over the island, hustling, copping and shooting, so I burn calories like a motherfucker.

I agree, it's fashionable to be gaunt and skinny. When I'm on dope I barely eat and my entire face changes... I get that angular model look.
I definitely get a lot of compliments. Because the fact is, the media says skinny means you're beautiful.
 
My skin tightens, i lose a lot of fat, and i get that slender but toned look. I agree, the model look. I kinda miss it.

lol! That's funny, but I think you may be right...

When I was "in my prime" -- oh God I'm 24 and I'm talking like I'm 40! -- man, I was a fucking animal. I fucking oozed confidence, but it was really just me faking it. I'd go home and think, "damn, I'm not really that attractive, funny, or smart..." :(

I should try faking it again... lol

Opioids/opiates have been known to suppress testosterone which is a major factor in confidence. Suprisingly i got more game while sober.

Yea this is true. However I seem to attract people a bit more on opiates, and I believe it's due to the fact that I have a much more apathetic, "don't really care too much if you want me to sexually penetrate you or not." attitude than when I'm sober (in which case I act overly kind and eager to please). However, I have noticed that while sober I acquire more leadership qualities, and a greater confidence among my male peers.
 
half the reason I used was aesthetic; my cheekbones were more pronounced, my hips looked great, I kept under 110lbs - and now I'm clean I look more like a junkie than ever, it's stupid.

I think the looking good thing is largely down to how you feel when you're on opiates. You tend to feel better than well, feel good in yourself, and have a certain confidence and smilieness about you. Confidence and smilieness are attractive, and people respond. Also why lots of opiate users use, after all, isn't it. Cos it makes them feel better than well, and like they're somewhat nearer the kind of person they wanna be. It's about the way you project

^^ this is the absolute truth. When I'm high I'm the most social, smiling, talkative, relaxed, popular, outspoken mom at the party, Pta, soccer practice, parent confrence, etc. When I'm not I'm a recluse. I keep to myself- opinion less.
It's my safety net. Opiates make me be the person I wish I could be.
 
I think its the mystery....lol seriously.

you see someone that any oother dope fiend would be able to look and say yea that guy is a dope fiend, but the rest of the society of non hard drug users look at that person who is probably unshaven into his own world peaks the girls interest. not to mention if you have the heroin chic look that doesnt hurt either. its how i landed my last gf.
 
Yea me too but It has nothing to do with the heroin lol I sometimes wonder how handsome I would be if i never touched drugs haha
 
i'm a pretty good lookin dude anyways, but when using alot i ALWAYS make sure to maintain my hygiene, shower once a day, brush teice a day, wash face before bed, and all that good shit. i usually only get told i look like shit when i turn green from the dopesickness or if i've been using so much i turn that nasty gray color. other than that my complexion always stays pretty clear, my weight stays average, and i can always fake a convincing smile no matter how pinned my eyes are, especially if im wearing green (my eyes are hazel, green brings them out). as a matter of fact i have to dirty myself up to take a trip to an open air or else i get mistaken for a narc often and have to show my tracks. prittydopebwoy
 
I used to get compliments for my looks all the time before using, and often do when I am not using, but almost never when I am using.
