Hello guys you probably saw my post a couple days ago (http://www.bluelight.org/vb/threads/715686-FIRST-TIME-INJECTING-NEED-HELP-Rig-and-Stuff-Ready) asking for tips on my first time shooting heroin.. Well i did it and it was the scariest thing i did and i cant get the thought out of my head and i fucked it up badly the 3 times i tried it. Now im crawling back here because i dont want to tell any of my friends or family i did it and messed up now i might face consequence health wise and i dont know who else to clarify that nothing is gonna happen to me im pretty sure i missed all 3 times i did it and i put a shit load of air bubbles in my veins now my arms hurt and i think i have an infection and i feel like a scumbag and not myself... I was already high from snorting it and coming down and wanted to see what the big "rush" was like an idiot so i grabbed a spoon from my kitchen and just sprinkled a little bit on the spoon mixed it with tap water (all by myself the hole time) and heated it up for like 5 seconds and drew in and tryed it it didnt work at all i pulled back and saw blood so i thought i had a vein so i shot and i didnt feel anything.. So i grabbed a filter (Que Tip head) and absorbed the water with the junk in it and drew a huge amount (mostly water) stuck it in pulled back missed -.- and then finally got it and shot and felt nothing again i cant get the thought out of my head of me sticking fucking needles in my arm trying to get high on heroin its a mistake i will never make again im not cut out for this shit at all man hard drugs arnt for me i dont wanna go down that road i wont do it again but im asking what could i have done?? i know its ironic im coming back after asking what i did wrong after asking for tips please dont comment on that i know i messed up and i could have killed myself and destroyed my family but could i have like air bubbles that are waiting to travel to my heart or lungs? my arm is really aching and i wasnt up to par at work today at all from it could i get an infection?? what could happen im sure i injected bubbles and a shit load of water and hit no vein.. I dont wanna tell my mom cause i cant go to the hospital i have no health insurance to my name right now and i dont want people to know i experimented this far i know im all over the board and my grammar is all messed up i could care less im really nervous and i just want the reminents to go away and this to be in my passed someone please inform me on what could happen i feel like this is gonna come back around and bite me in the ass in a big way and ill be found out by my family that i tried this dumbass technique for this peice of shit drug that im stupidly getting into i ignored absolutely everything i read about the hazards of this but i thought i had it and it was simple to shoot and to whoever says weed isnt a gateway drug is either ignorant or plain out stupid.
 
You're good kid, just make sure you don't have an infection. The air bubbles thing is a general misnomer, but IF you HAD managed to basically shoot up a shot full of air (and NOT missed) you'd be dead, and it wouldn't be an issue.

I think its all in your head, but I CAN'T possibly know that, and it does sound like you didn't do much right with you injection. So I'd go have some blood work done and make sure you didn't inject yourself with some nasty bacteria.
 
NExt time you try shooting up, your arm WILL fall off and die. Don't use or shoot heroin man, it's bad news.







Alright bro, aching is normal. If it swells up and changes color, or you get an abcess (google it) then go get it checked out ASAP. Otherwise, you're fine man. I hit an artery once, and my whole arm ballooned up and become splotchy, and my heart beat was so hard that it felt like a gunshot to my head everytime it beat. Literally thought i was going to die. We've all done the same shit you have though, and we're fine. Just hope you didn't get any poop-bacteria on the needle tip lol
 
The whole air bubbles thing is a myth. If you leave a couple of air bubbles in the syringe and I.V it, it won't cause any harm.
 
^^

Yeah that's just one of those junky myths that people hear and latch onto. You'd have to shoot a whole lot of air to die.. just a few little air bubbles don't do anything. Obviously, you want to flick out as many as you can anyway, but if there's still a few left, it doesn't make a difference.
