Man there's a lot of wisdom, good things being said on these pages.
Toma -
you don't know me, I only really post in the Chicago thread, being that's where I am, but haven't posted much since I've been taking a break, and actually being good about it. But what happened to the methadone idea? You really sounded like you wanted to give sobriety a good try.
I know how it is when things suck real bad and you wanna do anything to be sober, wish you never started down this road, then a day or two goes by, you get some cash, and get sick, whatever, and getting high is what we naturally gravitate towards. but from your posts recently, you're already at the point where you realize this is going nowhere. you already got a habit and a need to get straight almost everyday, from what I've read, and you can't sniff enough to get high? you think that's really gonna change?
I'm sure with some practice you'll be able to hit a vein real soon (I never really had a problem with that, picked it up pretty fast, but that was years ago)- try practicing with a sterile water solution first, don't waste the dope...but really dude, other people have said it way better than I can...is this really something you need to pursue? it does change things real fast, and not for the better..
You haven't mentioned the clinic at all recently...did you give up on that idea? Like everyone else said, you're 18, give yourself a chance at life, man.
If you think a $35 overdraft fee is the biggest downside of starting IV heroin use...and you really wanna take off with this...you got a big surprise coming someday.
I wish you the best dude, and I'm a 45 yr old who put this down for years, got a job, house, family, all that shit...relapsed 2 years ago, and it's driving me crazy, seriously. Wish I never got started again, cause there's days when I feel like I'll never get out, never enjoy anything in my life again.
Take your life back, you're young. Don't do this.
That's my positive thought for the day.
