Partly the caffeine I think. It always keeps me up and I'm not a daily user (use more frequent than I would wish lately though, so am on an extended break now, this is why I can't have nice things

) I usually split a g with Mr Ef and it's rare that we get more than a few hours of broken sleep, far more likely to keep us up all night..
It's the gear too though for sure, stronger stuff is far more likely to keep me awake all night. I don't find opioids sedating in the slightest until you hit nod territory and even that isn't sedating-feeling
exactly.. a weird kind of sedating, anyway.
Quality's somewhere between passable and good in Bristol at the mo, reasonably consistent, gets me high but nothing to write home about. My use was creeping up and up and up though, and I was dragging my boyfriend along for the ride too - he'd dabbled in the past and he's certainly not drug naive but he's more of a stimulant man, opiates aren't his cup of tea..
weren't, anyway. It's amazing how insidious smack is. One minute you can take it or leave it, the next minute you're dreaming about it. It doesn't help that he can't take many other drugs anymore (for a variety of reasons) but I know it's mostly because he's going out with me and I love the stuff. Firmly believe in personal responsibility but I will still never forgive myself if he became a heroin addict, he's already kicked one addiction, he's strong but I couldn't bear it if I dragged him down

he's helped me so much, what a horribly shit way to repay someone you love.
I couldn't bear it if I dragged myself down either, especially considering how hard it's been keeping myself afloat at times over the past 18 mths. Finally it's possible that things may be starting to genuinely look up for me, I can't fuck this up now, and I've been teetering on the brink.. doesn't help that I've been unaccountably unhappy quite a lot these past few weeks despite things overall going well, to the point where it's starting to turn me into a reculse again because I can't face the outside world. I can face anything when I'm opiated though, of course

I can socialise again because I feel like I can be good company rather than a misery-guts no one wants to hang out with, I can keep on top of my housework, I get on better with Mr Ef, even my parents remarked how much happier I sounded on the phone the other day. Heroin's certainly good for beating the blues

I've got to stop it though, or it will ruin my life... my relationship (which we've only just repaired, and I love that boy to bits), my finances, my self-respect, my friendships.. blahhhhh. Sorry for that unexpected rant, needed to get it out.. this week I am going to make a real effort not to touch any, and to spend my time hanging out with my friends instead, sober. I miss them, and brown can fuck off.
Fucking horrible seductive delicious bitch of a drug


Willchillz: welcome to BL and EADD! This is the European forum - I think you're a bit lost, I presume you mean Portland, Oregon? If so you'll want NASASADD, the North American regional forum, but they don't allow prices in there I'm afraid. Feel free to stick around here if you like though, we're a friendly bunch!
PinkyP: Good luck lovely, you've got a fantastic attitude, I love it

You can do it! And I agree, fuck the casual acceptance of how hilarious it is to get pissed and be a dick, or destroy your liver, or slap your girlfriend, or drive home cos it's only a short way and the roads are always empty anyway.. and fuck the sheer incomprehensible irrationality that makes people giggle about turning up at work still slightly pissed but recoil in horror from people who dare to take a benign or even beneficial substance in the privacy of their own home at the weekend. Blimey sorry haha, that touched a nerve, am in an angry mood tonight I think.. don't get me started on new sofas either, my old one's a heap of the most uncomfortable junk ever but there's no way I could afford a new one or qualify for credit even if I could bring myself to go down that route, so I have massive comfy-sofa envy..
This is what enforced heroin breaks do to me

Sadly I think this is going to have to become a permanent break..
