^Haha. Sounds kinda like my "sponsor." Err, former "sponsor" that is...
And, for a lot of people..a pain script can definitely lead you back to junkieville...I just think the whole "waking up your disease" thing is funny...
Well guys, I think I'm gonna take everyone's advice. Next Monday I'm gonna go down to the clinic and see what I can do, I'm wasting the best years of my life and I'm tired of watching other people have fun while I miserably hide my addiction to heroin at the age of 18
i have been on and off heroin for three years now..lost everything to it basically...but no matter how low i sank ..the next chance i had to get it i was bang on it like that AGAIN...as if i had forgotten all the pains i have gone through doing cold turkey over and over again...well now my question is if it is just me or if any of you has experienced that after coming down of heroin you get an even bigger craving to use and earlier or later end up relapsing and when you do you end up worse than ever before...
I think that's one of the few things about addiction that's said in the recovery world that's accurate. When you relapse, no matter how much time you have under your belt, you take off right where you left off or worse. The way they say it is that while you are in recovery your addiction (well I think they say the 'monkey on your back') is doing push-ups, so when you pick up it's stronger than ever.
Of course that's not always true, and some people are able to keep things in check a little more than before, but that's not as common, and one of the reasons people relapse is because they think that they can be like people like that.
