Lots o people take em for fun lol. It just stops being for fun pretty quick
Don't do it. U always stray from the plan as was said many many times. We all thought we could control it too

I mean you don't usually happen to start taking opioids in a situation like "hey, I feel like tasting heroin today". It's not like some psychedelic or entactogen, not that you can't be creative on opioids or look into yourself but I know no person who took whatever opioid for the first time for such purposes. It's not some 2C-B, MDMA, or marihuana. Let's be honest, you're going to be way more creative, way more sociable on these things than on opioids. Surely, opioids help with anxiety (well, after 10 years you might actually need to totally nod out to get rid of anxiety...) so they also help in stressful situations like a lot of people, you may be more talkative and it may even seem more you than on MDMA or marihuana which can give you out very easily. But now answer the simple question "which substances out of: heroin, marihuana, and MDMA will most of people with serious social problems choose and why?". The answer is "heroin". If someone is just a bit shy but doesn't suffer from social phobia, then marihuana, MDMA, or little amount of stupid alcohol solves the problem, and, well, who stays sober all night at clubs nowadays actually? Very few people. I can't even say "myself" although I don't drink because I'm still recovering and recovering from massive benzodiazepine addiction and great opioid addiction.
The only person I know that might have actually tried heroin for fun commented on intravenous heroin "it was sleepy and not euphoric at all", and the experience looked like this: "I feel nothing - I can't control falling asleep - I throw up - I don't really feel like using the rest of a gram I bought". The person was into psychedelics like LSD, phenethylamines, tryptamines, and similar substances. And also asked me "what really pushes you to doing morphine and heroin? I don't get it". I guess it speaks for itself. "Recreationally" doesn't mean "covering some problem" and "for fun" may be just an additive factor actually. You don't need all that body high to relieve you from some life problem, you start needing it when you're physically and psychologically addicted and the latter enhances the relieving effect of taking the drug for physical pain.
Most of people I know who took/take opioids have some major problems in life and these problems were present at the time of their first use. The difference among all these people is just that some were aware of their problems when they took an opioid for the first time and some realized it later. Take a look at NA meeting groups, detox wards etc. The drug (it doesn't have to be an opioid but it's always some seriously addicting drug) covers the main problem being another problem itself. I'm not saying you can't quit taking a drug if the main problem stays unsolved but it helps a lot finding what it exactly is, why the concrete drug helps you, and then face the problem without the help of psychoactive substance.
Of course the reality without the drug is a problem itself (well, to make it simpler, the drug is a problem itself) and people relapse because they give up when the surge comes and they can't see functioning without being on the drug they're addicted to. But aside from this, drugs also deepen existing problems and in the end things are so complicated and recovery is so difficult.
