So I was using heroin every third night for 6-7 months and I managed to largely avoid physical dependence doing this. Then I went on vacation and I wanted to enjoy my vacation so I used every day and the binge continued when I got home too so basically I was on high doses of heroin for 2 weeks. Now I'm withdrawing and I'm afraid that once having been dependent I will no longer be able to use evrey third day without having withdrawal in between. What do you guys think?
 
when you start using again dont use so much! then you could probably pull off using every 3rd day> listen when you start again dont go crazy and use a whole lot or
obscene amounts, just chill out and use enough to be happy and enjoy it.
 
tough one-having once formed a habit always easier to have physical dependence again. best bet now would be too wait a couple weeks because if you try only waiting 3 days now you will very likely be in WD again next day. take little time to recover this time and maybe space it more than 3 days for a while too.
 
Everyone's body reacts differently to opiate use and withdrawals. If it was me, I wouldn't be able to use the way you are talking without having withdrawal. It's a slippery slope, be careful and responsible so you can avoid dope sickness and an addiction (shitty as hell).
