Do I have my heroin addiction under control?

I think I somewhat have my addiction under control. I work part-time Mon thru Friday and I get paid on Wednesday. I usually spend most of that money on heroin then I usually binge from Wednesday to Saturday morning. Then I deal with very minor w/d's (bad cravings tho) that go away on Monday just in time for the work week to start. But I usually don't use from Sat. morning to Wed. night when I get paid. I mean obviously using 4 days a week is a bad thing and the w/d's are a bitch even though they are relatively mild. I'll admit i'm addicted but I think it's a controlled addiction.

Now obviously if I ever get a pay raise or more hours I think that will send me into a full-blown dope addiction but for now I think I have a solid system going that keeps my tolerance low and withdrawals are also kept to a minimum.

 

Until your tolerance goes up. And it will; just give it time.

 

That might work for awhile but you will eventually lose control.

 

I say you are fooling yourself because you are spending nearly all your wages on heroin. If you spent only a portion of your wages I would give you a vote of confidence.
