In no way am I trying to be rude or offend anyone, so with that in mind I have a question... How did you get started on heroin?

Everyone knows its horrible for you and is extremely addicting, so I geuss what I'm asking is what pushed you to it?

I myself have no experience with it, so I am only trying to understand.

Thanks to all.
 
I was never averse to trying anything, and when someone handed me a little glassine at a friend's house, it was a no-brainer to try it. Come to find out, it feels really good.

After you snort bag after bag, you know more and more shady people, and it isn't long before someone gives you a brand new needle, your very own, and then it's off to the races.
 
I started smoking heroin (black tar heroin from mexico) on foil; chasing the dragon. Previously I had enjoyed taking Vicodin and Percocet, then Morphine and Methadone. I was in downtown Bellingham, WA one night and was looking for pills and was offered some tar. So I got some and had no idea what to do with it....proceeded to look up online how to "chase the dragon" - I really enjoyed it and stuck to smoking for a long time. But then it got to the point where smoking it wasn't enough, so I began IV heroin....then BAM i'm a junky. Now I'm on MMT and doing very well :D
 
I was doing hydrocodone and pretty much any other opiate pill I could get for a while before I first tried it, so it was kinda a no-brainer that it would happen. My friend told me he found some guy that dealed, and I hadn't done any opiates in about 4-5 months, but after I snorted that first line I was like damn this is way too good. After a month of that, went to shooting and that led to a 6 month straight daily habit. Nasty addictive drug it is heh.
 
I think it was around 1992/1993, I was 15. Just a normal kid that loved to party in highschool. I will never forget that day. I was over at a friends house smoking bongs and reading Thrasher magazine [skateboarding] and another friend called up and said come on over I got something that makes you feel like your floating in the clouds.

Boom... We were on our bikes pedaling on over to his house. We got there and he said it was 'china', the word heroin didnt even come up. He dumped out a tinfoil ontop of his Weber grill in his garage and split the bag in 2 lines.

Sniff... Felt ok at first we rode to a park and laid down in the grass just sprawled out, than the projectile vomiting started. That was the beginning of the end. I am 33 yrs old now and have 8 days clean from opiates. Kinda a sad story as most of those friends, from back than are dead or locked in jail for a long time. Very few made it out.

The early 90's was when white heroin just blew up in Chicago and it was everywhere and it just continued to grow and grow.

Peace,
Seedless
 
Never got too deep into the stuff. The first time I actually had it I got sold some "opium" at some festival or show (sad I cannot remember), I remember the person that sold it to me was grade A lot trash, looking back on it what type of person does that too a 16 year old (I did look like I was 14 years old). Now I totally realize it was tar. The guy was from the west coast (I saw him a few times after that at different shows, he must have been stuck in my area or something)

I then got into OCs later and would occasionally run into the stuff. Now its all over the damn place but I know I cannot use responsibly so I do not touch it.
 
I was introduced to heroin in Prague when I was 18. I hooked up with a bunch of Romany Gypsies and they shared their stuff with me. Felt amazing but I didn't use it again for two years. Never got a proper habit (which I think is what you're asking) as I friend of mine got properly hooked and it was horrible to see. Also heroin has landed me in hospital in Pulp Fiction fashion. I didn't realise it was a bad idea to snort dirty Afghan brown and woke up in ICU. Luckily I never got the bug for smack (booze is my downfall). If I lived in Australia though I could easily see myself getting hooked as china white is awesome
 
i was working at a restaurant and a coworker of mine had a script for OCs and roxys. We started every day at work by doing lines together, and two years later i was way hooked. Found a hookup for tar one day and it was way cheaper and lasted longer so i switched. I cultivated a nice fixation on smoking off foil and now thats about all i do.
 
thank you all. i was always curious as to how people began doing certain drugs. it sounds to me that you all started for the same reasons i began smoking weed or drinking hardcore, because everyone else is. pretty soon i geuss you just get sucked in.
 
I was 19 and was getting pretty depressed, just living at home, not sure what I wanted to do or where I was going. (Oh hey! With heroin's help, I'm 24 and still in the same boat. Now I know heroin won't make things better though 8))

At the time I had begun abusing oxycodone (OC's, the IR's, pills in general). I had been using multiple times a week for a while and I was with my friend (who I've referred to as Dope Boy many a time on these boards). We were going to meet up with some dude he knew and I was going to get one of the 30mg Roxicodones (30mg of oxycodone). My friend also said that the guy had bags of heroin on him. I bought one pill and one bag, the bag costing half as much as the pill. 8o :)

Over the next few nights (I could actually wait a while before doing the drugs back then!) I consumed the 30mg IR oxy and the bag of heroin. The 30mg pill got me high once. The bag of heroin got me high...quite high...TWICE. The high was more sedating than oxy (which I liked) and the high lasted longer, which I also liked. ;)

If I could get even higher, while spending less money, why wouldn't I? Between those factors and my completely non-chalant, I-don't-give-a-fuck attitude, I was bound for addiction. At the time I honestly didn't care. I was more concerned with isolating myself and putting powder up my nose. :\

Plus, before you are physically addicted, words like "addiction, "withdrawal", and "soul-less" just don't have the same meaning until you go through withdrawal and addiction problems. You could know what to expect and have read about WD symptoms and personal stories, but when you're a naive youngster living in a heroin bliss, those things just don't really mean anything...yet. :|



Additionally: If you're a person who loves drugs (like myself), loves trying new things/new experiences (like myself), and has a curious nature (like myself), going from only knowing about it from DARE, to seeing it in scenes in movies, to reading very different stories on erowid, to reading it's king of the opiates on BL, well needless to say it made me extremely curious about trying it. :) Now it's this way with meth for me, but I've never even seen it...

Anyone who likes oxy, or any other opiate, and doesn't have some prejudice against heroin, would almost definitely enjoy heroin.

shit, i know i would like it. love opiates in general and a daily user. pretty sure me and some of my friends will eventually take the dive. wonder which one of us will survive for long after that.

but today and really sence 3/22/10 i have been only drinking and taking my meds you can beeat it if you want it bad enoff
 
I honestly didn't think heroin was as "addictive and life destroying" as it is the first time I tried it.
I had been into Oxy for some time and was sick of paying out the ass. A new guy got hired at work and was a dope fiend. First time we met he had me driving down to the Philly Badland's at 1a.m to cop some dope off the streets. We find a old black dude, he gets into the backseat of my car, my new co-worker buddy walks off into the night and comes back with a bundle and 2 bags for me.

Went back to his house, did 1/3'd line of the stamp bag and got sick and threw up everywhere. After that I swore off heroin for ever or actually until 3 days later.

Fast forward 2+ years: After living as a daily heroin addict shooting upwards of a bundle a day just to stay well, going broke, losing jobs, dropping out of school, losing friends, etc I finally am 3+ months clean on suboxone and happy again.
 
started at 26 after using downers and temgesic to counteract schizoprenia caused by out of control lsd/ecstacy/speed/alcohol habit.found the internal peace i was looking for and spent the next 10 years as a heroin addict.lost everything,career fiance,house,2 cars all savings.cleaned up after hitting rock bottom.i sit here now 36 yo grateull for the small room in my mums house shit broke and no job.i am however, happy i have found the peace i was looking for all my life and havent fucked up my health/looks too badly...................could be worse......love,e

I was in early high school and the point was to get fucked up. Started with codiene and quickly moved on up to IV OCs and fent amps. It actually took me a while to get hooked on heroin since I had very good and cheap pharm connections (ampules? right whatever). The very first time I did heroin I woke up in the street in TJ with some federali dragging me by my color onto the side walk and into a building that was the jail. If that wasn't a warning sign enough to stay away from the shit. I've ODd 4 or 5 times and 2 of them I woke up in ICU, one time from a 3 day coma. I've ODd and choked on my vomit...I've thrashed around with seizures and all that shit. The last time I woke up in the ICU I was deaph for at least 3 hours. I couldn't walk (since my right leg wouldn't move) for a week, my pupils are like david bowie's from a pinched nerve. Yet I still kept using, on and off heavy methadone switching over to subs and back to dope, etc.

I'm back on subs now, relapsed twice in the last 30 days, but whatever, clean 7 days now.

Thanks for making this thread actually, it's pretty frightening to read all this shit including my own..like wtf'ing shit? Why? Well, because I like it. Sure I've used pretty much exclusively for the last 5 years to not deal with my problems, and in the last year to completely escape, but there's always the other side...because it fucking rules and you cannot deny that. The question is, is it good enough to die for? Let me rephrase that..the best your life has ever been, and/or that you can and will get it back to one day..is dope worth taking that shit away? For a single high? Of course not, what a fucked up drug...it should still be legal.

Well, I didn't have to write my answer, you basically wrote it for me haha!
You described perfectly my own feelings toward the succubus that is Heroin.

i dont really think that is how most of us got started...

I know I didnt start using heroin becuase other people were and I wanted to be cool.. i dont think anyone else here did either lol

your perception of what is and is not ok/acceptable etc.. changes.

i started with weed and alcohol, then eventually started experimenting with other drugs, then eventually with painkillers, thedn I was addicted to opiates and decided to stop spending 4x the amount of money I needed to on getting high by buying oxycontin..so hello H
 
The first time I did heroin was when I meet these two girls at a club I frequent. They told me if I could get them coke they had some heroin they would give me, so I got them their coke and they handed me a bag of heroin. I sniffed a bit of it and liked how mellow and just relaxed it made me feel.

Well the same girls came back to my apartment I had at the time, and they said they had needles and asked if I wanted to try shooting it. I said sure....

And that was the day that changed my life FOREVER. I remember shooting the dope and thinking to myself "Whoa...I like this WAYYYY too much...this is really nice but I should never go near this drug again."

About a month or so after this, a friend of mine that lived across the street from me started dating a heroin dealer. So at that point, it was readily available at all times so I started buying a few bags....then eventually bundles.

Within 6 months I was completely hooked. I spent every dollar on it. My room mate moved out (heroin was part of the reason but not really because they were a meth head and heroin addicts and tweakers just dont mesh well together if ya know what I mean...and she was refusing to pay me her half of the rent), I eventually lost my apartment, my car, my xbox 360, my wii, pretty much EVERYTHING for heroin. It sucked me in real fast....

Thats what it does. It sucks you in so fast that you don't realize your addicted until its too late. I mean i fucked up my whole life in a matter of 6 months over that drug, that just goes to show you how powerful of a grip it can have on people.

Some people can try certain things and put em down, but not many people are able to do this with heroin. I can turn down every drug now except for weed and heroin. I eventually kicked with the help of suboxone and was on it for a year but as soon as I got off it, i started chipping again. You get on the horse and you get back off. The dope around here isn't that great....at least it hasn't been lately. So I'm taking a break from chipping for awhile. Hopefully I can just put the damn shit down for good. But that's easier said than done. :/

For anybody thinking about trying heroin, I would think long and hard before doing so because this shit aint no joke. It WILL fuck your life up if you get in too deep.
