I wonder how easily people on here got addicted to heroin? I was never around heroin growing up, i was around alcohol & every other drug know to mankind, but never heroin, my friends seemed to think all drugs were fine except heroin, they all looked down on heroin users.
The first time i came across heroin was at a small party, two people i sort of knew were smoking gear, straight away i wanted to try some, so i asked them for some, they weren't to keen so i chipped in money & they gave me a smoke. It took very little to get me stoned, but i loved the buzz! Strangely enough it didn't make me sick, i just had a lovely buzz all night!
The second time i used heroin was about 8 years later, i bumped into the same two people in the pub, they were gonna score & head home, so i chipped in again & went off & had a smoke with them. Again i took very little to get me stoned & i enjoyed every minute of it, great night!
I was always fond of having a few drinks & i enjoyed all drugs! I raved my way through the late 80's & early 90's taking E's, coke, acid, hash, K, speed, ect but i had only tried heroin those two times. Then about another 8 or 9 years passed & i started hanging around with a new group of people, heroin was part of that group so i found myself around heroin more & more. I'd smoke at weekends, then i wouldn't see that crowd during the week so i wouldn't use, but come the next weekend i'd meet up with them & use heroin again.
This is how both my boyfriend & i started using heroin regularly. These new friends were well used to their gear, we would all chip in the same amount of cash but at the time i could never keep up with the amount they used, so i wasn't long before my boyfriend & i decided to score on our own & go home & use by ourselves, & the rest is history........
I often wonder what life would be like if i had never met that group of friends? I rarely ever see them anymore. My boyfriend & i were perfectly happy with life before heroin, but i have to say we really enjoyed the first few years of using! But as time goes by it gets harder & harder to get stoned, you need more & more heroin just to feel well! Its worse then a full time job & we never have a penny for ourselves, heroin takes everything!
So now i'm sitting here all these years later, there has been a full on drought in Dublin for over a year. I haven't scored anything decent in all this time yet i'm still searching for it & wasting money on bash, hoping each time i score will be the jack-pot, but it never is.
I wasted another €100 on low grade rubbish yesterday, i sitting here now going over my used trays of foil trying to find any little bits that i missed & then i'm gonna smoke whats left in the tooter. The gear is useless so i don't know why i'm even bothering? But i can't think of anything else besides heroin, its an awful bloody habit......
