Heroin Heron - addiction after just 5 days?

[curioushat]

Could I really already be an addicted junkie going through physical withdrawals?
I had done heroin and opioids in general very infrequently, without any physically withdrawals or cravings.
Flash to last Friday. I had not touched an opiate in two weeks.

I received a gram of high quality #3 brown heroin base. This is basically how I smok/vaped it from Friday until Tuesday, and then today Wednesday.
Friday: started around 5pm. Hit the foil hard for an hour or so. Started again at 1am and went bananas nonstop until 4:30am.
Saturday: Did not touch dope, I felt real tired and sick
Sunday: Woke up at 4-5pm. Did a few lines. Went to bed around 7pm after blowing through a little bit more. Hurricane hit this night and I didn't do much
Monday: Honestly I don't really remember but I did a fair amount of dope, probably for about 6 hours or so on and off, not much in total.
Tuesday: freaked out all day looking for my dope. I didn't know where it ended up. I was unsuccessful at first, so I located a bottle of about 25 or so 2mg hydromorphone pills. I proceeded to do about 12 of them over the course of say 10 hours or so. During six of those hours, I vaped a good amount of heroin, the entire rest of my bag.
Wednesday: Woke up and railed a 2mg hydromorphone. I didn't really want to do one (or not do one). I just kinda felt that it would help since I was feeling kinda ill. Not too bad, but maybe the equivalent of a bad cold. A good analogy is an alcoholic who has a drink in the morning to clear her head.

I am a little concerned that I might have gone overboard. I could just have a bad cold but I could be going through just quick WD, especially because I was smoking the #3. On the other hand, I did take one day off completely and another almost off. I also capped myself before I passed out or nodded out, every day except the first.
What do you think? Am I okay? I was thinking of shooting a dilly since I've never touched a needle (and it's apparently the best opioid ever for that!), but now I'm leaning towards no.

Thanks!

there's no way to develop physical dependence from that.

i get withdrawals from 5 days of use but thats from two shots of 80mg of hydromorphone or 2 shots of 450mg oxycodone a day for those 5 days

sounds mental more than anything. so you did find your bad then? sincnce you said you vaped the rest of it? i hate loosing drugs, hasnt happened often but that gut stomach flip feeling is the worst.

day 2 and 3 without anything, you will know if you have a habit.

you never touched a needle but yet you want to bang a dilaudid? wtf?
also, even if it is withdrawals, it must be the smallest amount of WD's ever. you could probably sleep it off.

Please stop now while you still can! We are all very different but generally you shouldn't be significantly physically dependent after 5 days of use (with one day off) if you have not been dependent before in the past. You are becoming mentally addicted and it's likely that most of the symptoms you are having are more a sort of come-down than withdrawals per se. And you may very well have a cold. Using opioids depresses your immune system and makes it easier to catch colds. Regardless, you should definitely stop now before you get more addicted and build up a serious physical dependence. Absolutely do not start injecting Dilaudid. You will be seriously addicted very fast. You need to take a good long break from opioids right now.

You seem to be prone to physical wds/ which always start out as a worry as you finish your last few lines! Quit while you're ahead mate, two years later and your right up shit street! Haven't used for ages but I fight it every day, please heed mine and others warnings!

i have ben phisically dependent after 4 days of heavey IV use before. So dont let anyone tell you its not possible.

i only use on the weekends and when tuesday rolls around im in very mild WD. only last the day though. If i smoke enough weed its gone as well.

Initially, it took me months of near daily use to become physically dependent. The longer you use the worse the WDs become and the more you quickly you become addicted. Sounds like you just have rebound anxiety to me.

Heroin is extremely psychologically addictive as well. What you're describing is how I think most of us became addicted. You got a big enough supply to get you high for a good couple of days, and now you just wanna keep on running with it! Put the brakes on before it's too late. It's so easy to get stuck in it and not even realize 2,3,5,10,30 years have just passed by and you're still chasing it. That's my "scared straight" lecture!

First time I ever slammed was with Dilaudid, I was slamming handfuls of 8's at a time not long after. Been in a methadone clinic for the last 4 years.

You start banging dilaudid youre not gonna stop unless you have to.

As for withdrawals, everybody is different, it's pretty normal to feel like shit when you wake up the next morning. Even on my methadone when i wake up in the morning its like I have this hour or so of my endorphins being off base where i feel like shit and then it starts to go away on its own. More than likely its all psychological right now. Either way I would stop soon because soon you will have snot all over your face and shit running down your legs when you wake up without a rig by your side
