hi I'm new to this and joined for support while i go through heroin withdrawal

Perhaps I thought people, like myself, who've been addicted for close to 20 years should at least try to quit more times than that. -- I like to say that I've literally tried to quit thousands of times. I try to quit every day! Nevertheless your story is inspiring. You live in Scotland? Well, isn't that original. You also run an online entertainment magazine & talk with celebrities!?

If you're talking about half-heartedly talking about quitting -- something every junkie does almost daily -- then, yes, I've tried many times. However, it's something I've never taken lightly. The main reason is that I love using. Always will I guess. So, when I made the decision to quit before I was all in. BUT, I love taking shit. Can't help it. I feel like a dick when I come home from the gym then score. I'm alright for 2-3 days, then bang...phoning my man up. I hate the whole junkie lifestyle, and getting past that was, for me at least, a major triumph. Living and looking like a junkie was hard. Now, you'd never know unless I wanted you to know. Make sense?

Yup, I'm in Glasgow. The asshole of Scotland! lol

Yeah, it's kinda cool talking to celebs. You get used to it. The first time I got my name/quote on a movie poster/Blu-ray sleeve was a serious buzz. Still is. I don't talk to A-listers, though. B-list. We're small time. Can you PM on this site? I'll send you the link to my site.

I've learned that one of the key things to sobriety is changing PEOPLE, PLACES and THINGS

Damn straight! Changing those things helped me regain control of my life. Still using, but it's on my terms now. And nowhere near as often.

That's why I joined just now. Well I did years ago but never used this. I'm going through wd's now.. I see this post was little bit ago. How's it working out for you? How bad was your habit? Sniff/shoot? Both me and my bf are using this long weekend to try and quit and it's been hard. Lonely, emotional, antsy, sweaty and just a knot in the pit of my stomach. He's in bed not wanting to talk or see me.. I just need to ramble and maybe put this out there for support, maybe? I never looked for support before for anything... Maybe that's why I'm in this position...
