Hey dont be ashamed CB, ive shared sets with a few people when i was usin without even bleachin or washin the shit other than just drawin up water a couple times and rinsing it out. It was people that I knew well , close friends that i trusted and shit who was like 'i aint got shit i swear' and a couple of em was fresh out from jail where they had been tested so it was a up to date and all that, but lookin at it now im like yo, why the fuck did i trust their word? How did i just trust them with my life like that? the fuck was i thinkin? let me think, off the top of my head i think thers 4 people i shared with on the regular, but may be one or two more. I dont think so tho. And it wasnt even a one time desperation thing, i didnt think nothing of it at the time and did it all the time. and thats fucked up when i think of it now. I been tested tho more than once and by the grace of Allah I aint got no diseases to show for it so Im a lucky one but real talk i look back now at some of the shit i use to do and just be like damn, i was really playin with my life, for really real I coulda ended up with a whole lot worse to show for those years than i did. shit like that is how i ended up with some type of religion becuz I cant not believe in god after gettin out of that shit alive without a single disease to show for it...
anyways...
Yall who be like "Im a total feen, i could never turn down a shot of dope--unless it was a clean set", just be thankful you aint enough of a 'total dope feen' to not even care about sharin a set.
Word bond, there was one time that I was sick as hell and one of my boys offered me a free bag but i had a big habit and one bag wasnt shit, but i still took it anyways you know, but he only had one set that he had used...and I knew as a fact he was hiv+....and Im sad to admit that for about a half hour i was debatin with myself like "yo if i just soak it in bleach for like 5 minutes maybe i can use it, cuz sniffin it aint gonna do nothing i need to shoot it to have it be worth anything, im sure bleach will be fine...etc..." and i honestly had to talk myself out of usin that set. It should be a HELL NO!! situation--shit, it should be a hell no situation to share at ALL, even if you know the person aint got nothing, but damn, a fatal fuckin disease that you can die from that you will have your whole life, and I was honestly considering just bleachin it out and using it....finally I was like yo girl get yourself together this shit aint worth it for one fuckin bag youll regret this shit someday if you do it, you about to take your life in your hands even more than you do every other day, and that was one of the few smart moments i had durin all my using years. but damn yo.
and that is the exact OPPOSITE of harm reduction and goes against everything we here for but im keepin it real with yall and tellin my story truthfully no sugar coat you feel me.
