a lotta people think that the harm reduction advice here is maybe a little over the top but in the 3 years since the thread began,how many good people have we lost from this thread alone???
Also,we should remember that the people who post here do not represent the cross section of heroin users across the country.Most serious bag heads have probably lost their computer/phone or tablet device so apart from an hour or 2 in the library,they have no internet access,so I think the 'bag-heads' you get here are generally not as out of control as the mainstream.For that,you would be better to look at stats from user led services.
They are an underclass that is very hard to infiltrate as the thing they have in common is an illegality.
How many people have their Christmas shopping done?-this,for example,is a question that would not apply to the average street drug user.they might be better asked,have you done your Christmas shopping(meaning the 5 fingered discount-saving up gear for Christmas is way too far ahead for most to even consider-most(like me) cannot hold onto anything in the house for longer than a few days at max.You know it is there,mocking you-grrrrrr.
I am actually going christmas shopping for presents with my mom tomorrow-she will look after the presents until the big day so no returning items.For a while now,I have been showing massive control.In my bank account,is the deposit from my last house and I have kept that there for 18 months now-11 of which were in prison but I could have gotten it-but i might borrow from it a little but never really SPEND it-one thing I have always prioritised is the roof over my head-maybe I am not a real junkie-that would be nice.
As someone asked earlier in the thread,who would WANT to be a junkie?well,I know of one person alone in this group who does WANT just that.Scary shit.
Well said.
