Do you love or hate the needle?

[sic|{sick6]

hmm...Do you love or hate the needle? my answer to that question is YES.

 

[juststl]

I love the needle. In fact I get a rush type feeling just preparing for it.. And if im withdrawing and I know my shot is coming very soon my intestines start moving like I gotta take a shit because my body knows what's coming and it's gonna be all good again.

Have only just started doing IV injections, at age 57. Why? I just like it, I can, and everyone tells me not to! Long before this however, I used to enjoy taking blood samples with a syringe, and injected myself with whisky, vodka and water. I think it is a form of 'self harm', as I also enjoyed, when depressed, cutting myself, sharpening blades, and making scars. Why? I feel it is a sort of 'mini suicide' somehow, like a practice run for slashing my wrists and bleeding to death.

Sounds like what Sigmund Freud talking bout a death drive, the will to return to an inanimate state

I hate the needle......even when I get the papers from my doctor to have my cholesterol checked out once a year, I throw out the papers cause I hate giving blood because I hate needles.

So I basically get it done once every 3 years & when he asks me, I say I lost my papers.

Some addicts say they were scared as well until they got hooked on heroin.....umm.....no thanks!

I never tried heroin & never plan on trying it, but smoking it would be the way to go......there's are certain things I can say with a 100% certainty, & using needles is one thing I can say I will never use with drugs.

. Hmmmm... the 'death drive' was something I once did, when in the depths of suicidal despair. No money... no speed... no point going on. So I decided to do a very silly, selfish thing indeed - unable to meke my mind up about whether to live or die, a 'Hamlet Moment' if you like? The Prince of Denmark did not however own a triple Weber carburated Vitesse Mk II, with balanced engine, St IV head, 6;3;1 exhaust, TR6 clutch and half race cam, which I decided to take for a spin on a fast, winding, country road nearby, in the middle of the night. Reached over 100MPH now and then, not bad on a 40MPH road... then, cassette player blasting out 'Both Ends Burning' (Roxy Music), just as it reached ..."put your foot down round the bend!", I hit a patch of diesel, and my foot was down on a 90 degree bend, pumping the brake - drifted right across the road, almost hit the other kerb, luckily nobody was coming the other way. Came back at a snail's pace, shaking fom head to toe....

And guess what? My depression had vanished, thanks to the massive adrenaline rush I think? In fact, once I'd had a few drinks and calmed down, I felt quite good. Learned a couple of valuable lessons - far batter to get adrenaline rushes with DRUGS, rather than dangerous driving, far more considerate for those around you! And don't try and teat your luck with a suicide attempt - either do it properly, or not at all!

Honestly it's all I use anymore. Only time I smoke my heroin is if I've already pinned myself and just want that extra unff. To me it's just all around preferable. Efficiency, duration, rush, all around experience, almost no negative side affects. I shoot any drug I use honestly....and my biggest thing I hate I'd people who are addicted to heroin or meth like myself, that see or know I shoot up and say oh I'll never be "THAT BAD"....drug addiction is drug addiction, I'm just getting my money's worth, and I feel people are ignorant that say I'm "more addicted" or worse because I shoot up.

Well said. I loathe hypocrites who bandy expressions like 'drug addict' or 'junkie', usually with a smug, superior, self-righteous sneer, whilst drinking the first of eight pints in the pub, smoking their 25th cigarette of the day, awake only because the three pints of strong coffee they drank earlier are still making them tetchy, irritable and foul tempered. The evening ends with a couple of large Jack Daniels, and on Saturdays a few 'shots' for 'the craiac'. They awake feeling foul and hung over next morning, then read the papers with a grim face, tutting and grumbling as they read various lurid, hero worshipping stories about gallant policemen raiding 'drug dens' and dealing with restless, deadly dangerous miscreants causing trouble in city centres, then slump off to the pub and begin a long, dreary rant about the 'state of society' and 'moral decay' amongst young people these days, after proudly comparing hangovers with their fellow regulars.


They then whinge and moan... "why me?" when struck down with heart disease or a stroke in their 50's, or worse, horror of horrors, being told to stop drinking as their liver is cirrhosed. We've all met them... in fact, I effectively am one, though I've always taken drugs as well, never criticise anyone EXCEPT the police and the government, and fully expect some 'early death', after my dissolute, hedonistic, greedy, self-indulgent life. Am I any better? Not really, just a lot more intelligent and content!

Love and hate. I love the instant kick it gives, I love cooking up and I a?actually enjoying sticking the needle in my arm. I don't like how it tends to get me messed up much quicker and much more often than using other roa's

 

[noselfnoprob]

I was addicted to needles /the needle long before I ever shot up I think. It always seemed like the fastest ROA and it was so naughty and hardcore. Like "I ain't skeered", kinda thing. I would have shot up weed if I could have.
