Hi guys.

Opi' here and i'm an addict. I've been using since i was 15/16 and i'm now 21. I recently done 8 days sober, relapsed for 4 and was currently on 7 days clean until i used a .1 bag of heroin today. I truely felt strong and better this morning but as the day dragged on i started to become starving and i went out stealing to get food. This lead me to stealing more meat than intended and selling some, thus opening up smack avenues.

Lesson learned. No matter where i move to, if i go back to my old way of life it is inevitable that i will use heroin again.


Will i be back to square one tomorrow or just feel slightly bad for a day or two? I hope so because i can deal with that. Anyway,

Hi all.

(Im from Scotland)

UPDATE WITH A LITTLE ABOUT ME FROM A POST IN ANOTHER THREAD

It's just i've been here before so many time's. My back story is quite the fuck of fuckups tbh. My mum was an addict all my life and i hated the stuff, it was in no way related that i became the same. I used to run downstairs and drop kick people for "squaring" her up when she was dopesick (i was like 10) When i think back, OUCH. If someone was squaring me up and i was dope sick it would hurt like a motherfucker if my kid came and fucked that up. No wonder i got my ass kicked haha!

I was big and ugly enough at 13 to 15ish to take pills, whizz and everything inbetween that i made my own mind up. I smashed many people for offering me it until a close friend smoked it in front of me and i thought fuck it give me a try. Hooked since.

So when i had gear and mum was ill, i couldn't watch her rattle? I gave it to her and it works the same in reverse as fucked up as that is. For years we both used, it was easy, 2 incomes on seperate weeks meant a constant supply along with me punting eckies and MK. She even kept my stuff so we were bust safe. We got on the methadone and stayed clean 6 months to a year, 2012. I was the main MK dealer in my town, i supplied every area pretty much and we both were IVing the stuff excesivly.

She had NO veins, groin was dead too, so after such a massive length of time taking MK which drys even my veins up after 2 hits, i started to worry. It was clearly very danergous for both us. More so her. We would have massive arguements because i wanted to not take it. "You can't tell me what to do!" People said shit like you'd think we were a couple which hurt because it was so sick but i felt that i had to protect her as i always did.

She didn't understand that we were peddling the stuff to survive. The more we took the less we made. Anyway, after no MK for a few months even though i know she took it when i wasn't around, she was very delerious one night. Complaining of pains in her lungs. She often got sick throughout life so i thought perhaps it was some thing bad. I called NHS 24 when it got worryingly bad and over 3 days. Useless cunts needed her to confirm but my mum had a groin operation years before and went through hell being an addict they provided no opiates. They packed her wound daily to keep it clean with no opiates. Ouch!

I eventually called her doctor after my methadone clinic realized how worried i was. It was genious~! I called her doc out and he called a non emergency ambulance.

Turns out she had endocarditis. After a week long battle, she seemed on the up and up until it spread to her lung which then collapsed. We made the dicision to turn the machine off and i never got to speak to her after her lung collapsing. This was without a doubt the hardest and most emotional period on my entire life. It still doesn't feel real. It hurts typing this. I miss her so much, as fucked up as my story is she was my mum. She was my emotions guardian and i've been lost without her.

I ended up back on the gear after my 6 month to 1 years hiatus and got chucked off my methadone, and here i am!

Hello opikit and welcome to BL :)

I hope you get the help you need to stop that addiction.
 
Opikit....I'm so sorry to hear tbat about your mum. That's terrible that they didn't send the help out you needed. (One of the reasons that they scrapped NHS Direct and replaced it with 111 is that it was failing patients in the way you describe). I lost my mum a few years back as well. She had a pulmonary embism and died in my arms despite mine and then the paramedics from the ambulance I called attempts to revive her. I had a very hard time dealing with this as I reasoned that I should have been able to save her because of what I do for a living but with no drugs and equipment that was never going to happen. The loss of someone close to you like that is a terrible blow but time does heal some of the wouodns and bereavement councilling may help.

I wish you all the best and feel free to pm me if you ever need anyone to talk to.
 
Wow.

That was a pretty full on introduction. Sounds like you've been through a lot and there's a lot more still to go through. Good work so far on your attempts to be clean, its a lot more difficult than what it seems to most people, especially if you've spent a substantial amount of your life hooked. Just try taking it one day at a time. It may be difficult to try and get a job while you are currently battling this, but once you start making some more progression on sobriety maybe that could happen. It'd be an effective use of your time, it would fill up a lot of your days and with all that money you won't have to go stealing.

I read in the last couple days that a Bluelighter here doesn't use more than two days in a row because the withdrawal symptoms amplify dramatically. Maybe the concept of being sober that much may frighten you or seem unappealing (hey, in a dream world we'd all be fucked up 24/7) but keep it in mind, try and make that a goal or something. The important thing to do now is to take little steps and start smashing small goals before taking on massive ones. The accomplished feeling you'll get from completing all these small goals will make you feel pretty boss.


I wish you good luck and all the best in the future, I really hope everything works out for you. :)

Wow rough story i know first hand about wanting to protect my mom i have taken care of mine since 14 when my dad left us she has lots of mental issues and trys to kill herself because of it so i worry lots. She hasnt veen able to work since i was ten so ive lived with her supporting us being the man of the hoise(what my dad chose not to be). We used to use drugs a bit together too, i would buy her oxys for her pain or share my script with her since we both live with chronic pain. We both had a fucked up life so we try to look out for each other( even though it seems she us the only one who needs to be looked after) and my mom went through hell trying to raise us kids by her self with my bastard father trying to kill her and making her crazy by doing evil shit to us. My moms still kicking today though which im grateful for even if she is a bit messed up in the head from all the shit shes been through with moods swings and talking about suicide i really dont blame her to tell you the truth ive thought about it myself many times how much easier it would be to just give up and end it all. My dad died recently too which i could care less about but he took me and all his family out of his will to make sure we would have to take care of my sick mom till she died because thats thw kind of man my father was, a evil sadistic man who only cared about stacking up millions of dollars and making his own flesh and blood suffer. But that's life, life is pain i wake up every morning im in pain, i go to work im in pain, i try to sleep and im atill in pain.

Im very sorry to hear about your mother i can tell you cared for her deeply and i hope you can find a life away from dope and come to terms with what you were forced to do.
Anytime you want to talk my man just give me a shout via private message and ill gladly chat with you about whatever you like:)

Keep your head up man and welcome to BL we have a great community here we welcome you with open arms.
