I have a really addictive personality, i want to try heroin. Im going to shoot it up, i have never done it before, will i get addicted, is it like a full body orgasm like people say? Do i feel euphoria and numbness (basically what will i feel so i dont freak out). How much should i shoot? Also could i get some kind of crazy heroin that kills me? Is it like meth where addiction really fucks you over? Sorry im really curous :D
Also, well thats basically it lol
 
Well if you admit that you do have an addictive personality, then most likely you we be mentally addicted if you like that rush during IV use as well as the drugs euphoric effects. Also using it IV, you will become physically addicted if you do it for a week straight. Do you really want to start something you will have to battle in the long run? Alot of people I know who are or were heroin addicts, were so because of their addictive personalities as well as their use of the drug to escape their own realities and memories.
 
I hear ya, I used to smoke every day 3 times a day and I havnt smoked in over a month and I feel a lot better but the first week I was close to going back to smoking everytime people I knew who had weed were around.
 
Ya i might not do it

And bro weed isnt really that bad so there is really no reason to quit, but idk about heroin anymore after reading some facts lol. Oh and just curious is your name hunter :P
 
Dependence and addiction are two different things.

A person may need 200mg of oxycodone per day to control pain and be very dependent but not addicted. Another person may not have had a cigarette in 30 years and be in no way dependent but still extremely addicted and think about smoking every day.

The odds are if you abuse opioids there is a 1/10 or 1/20 I don't recall chance you will consider yourself addicted at sometime in your life. If you have an addictive personality it is likely greater. Don't think of it as "will i be strong enough" but think of it as just rolling the dice with your life. The "Basic Biology of Addiction" thread in the OD Directory linked in my signature might be some good reading for you.
 
I would never recommend anyone to use it however in my own experience before trying it I had done OCs for a few years and the first time I tried some dope I never went back to using OCs and things just got worse from there however I guess it depends on the person and your "addictive personality." Idk you and probably won't ever talk to you again however Strongheart may come off a bit strong but he is right about what will and can happen in the long run. :)
 
If you are at the point of shooting dope, I wouldn't do it, there is really no going back. You may not get "addicted" your first time, But you sure as shit will be fucked.
 
I had a pretty bad oxy addiction about 3 years ago, i know its not heroin, but still an opiate. I was using for about 6-7 months, every day. I manged to get off of it, and have relapsed 7 times since, nothing as bad as the first time. After the physical need for it subsides, i still have mental cravings nearly every day.

I've heard different things about IVing, such as "after the first time you are addicted". I'm not sure how that is, seeing as injection is just a different ROA, guessing it's because the rush is much faster and intense. I could never inject, as i'm terrified of needles. I almost exclusively snorted it.

I have a reaaaaalllyy addictive personality also, so personally I wouldnt do it if I were you. I wish I had never done oxys, not knowing the feeling would be better, because once you know it, it will always be in the back of your mind, like "Wow, I'm really fucking stressed right now, I wish I had something to help myself out" which leads to wanting to use.

I think that amapola has pointed out something important here that very few people would like to believe and many others will argue over until their dying breath: heroin is addictive, but not more so than other substances. If you don't believe me, go look up alcohol and the rate of alcoholism, the numbers are very much comparable to heroin and heroin addiction. But it is rolling the dice, and that's scary, because if it comes up "addict..." that's a life-changer right there. That's why I tell everyone I regret trying heroin, not because I am an addict or I have become an addict (I haven't), but because it was a stupid thing to do in the first place and the consequences far, far outweighed whatever positive experience I might have had.

That being said, I am not a drug advocate of any kind, and I think an individual who knows that they have an addictive personality should stay far, far away from heroin and all other substances, really.

EDIT: And it's a tough question, and a question that misses the point, to ask "Do you really get addicted the first time?" It's not like anyone call tell you, "It's the fourth time, man, definitely the fourth time that does it..." It doesn't happen that way. Personally, I think it happens once you make the decision to experiment with the substance; but really, it's something that happens gradually and over time, but you won't know that you're an addict until it's too late, and in that moment, you won't be asking yourself which time "did it," you'll just know that it happened, and you'll wish that you had your life back.

I also have an incredibly addictive personality, and in retrospect I wish I had steered clear of strong opiates. Not a day of mine goes by without intense mental cravings. Looking back, it seems pretty inevitable that I would get hooked, and I can't believe I didn't see it coming. With me, it was oxy, although I did do heroin a number of times. I've never IV-ed (I also have a strong phobia of needles, so I've only ever snorted) but from accounts that I've heard, the rush that comes with IV can be a very addicting experience. If you're already having second thoughts about it, then it's probably a bad idea.
 
^agreed, you need to be 100 percent ready and even then its still a crap shoot......
 
you will think about it every day for the rest of your life. If your OK with that, PROCEED. i personally think it was worth it, to feel that good can only be achieved with H.
 
Man you're no were near educated enough on the drug, and in life in general to be messing with something this powerful. I mean use your own brain, asking us if heroin addiction can you up like meth addiction, i'm confident you can answer this yourself. Why ask us? If you already have doubts you shouldn't be using, dont come to an internet forum and expect us to make you feel better about something deep down i know, you know is wrong, just by the tone of your message it is very obvious.

In all honesty i wouldn't even suggest you try sniffing heroin let alone injecting it, and do you know alot about injecting? It's imperative to really know your shit, its not something you can figure out in a couple nights of internet researching.

So in summary you dont know enough to use this drug even semi safely, and the reality is you might not get addicted but that high feels so unnaturally good that you will not be able to ever forget about it. Think about that.
