Heroin Is it worth it for me to try heroin once?

I just want to mention that the average person and prolly 95% of the people you know will never look at you the same if they found out you've tried heroin even just once. I don't know how it is in Iran, but in the states people have been bombarded by the government and the media with images and stories that make you think that only homeless junkies use heroin. That's why pain pills are generally more socially acceptable than heroin. Ime, the few people in my family that know I used to have a problem don't look at me the same. It's similar with friends, they find out I've tried it even once they don't treat me the same.

Are you willing to lose your reputation indefinitely for trying something once?
 
I guess it's took every thing I've done to get me where I'm at now. Being headstrong and thinking I was unique made me an alcoholic and the only thing that made me not want a drink were drugs. I fell in love with opiates. Looking back at the wreckage that was my life makes me wonder now how I'm even still alive.
You're not an ignorant person(are you seeking attention-there's healthier ways to do that), Choosing hard drugs is foolish and potentially lethal. Why risk it?
 
This will sound stupid, but I was once of the opinion that I would be able to battle off heroin addiction if I tried it 'only' once or do it once a week. You know how I proved myself wrong without becoming an addict? i took up smoking. At first it was 'Once a week'. A month later I was smoking everyday because I enjoyed the buzz. At that point I told myself "I'll stop when I stop feeling good from it". Fastforward a year and I'm addicted to nicotine, smoke a pack a day, and only use to stave of withdrawals.

What has this show to me? I'd be an addict if I got something like heroin. Something which is 100x better, 10x more addictive and 100x harder to stop. I couldn't even control myself with smoking, so I know damn well I couldn't with heroin.

So, do you you smoke? Are you addicted to that? If you are, don't fool yourself into thinking you could use heroin without getting addicted. If you don't smoke, try it for a month or two. See if you get addicted, because it's damn certain you'd prefer to be addicted to nicotine over heroin.

I hope someone reads this and saves their own life.
it makes me so sad to read these threads.
heroin also kills your family,loved ones,they suffer more than you do.
come on,man..
 
Some strong words here from you guys! It made me thinking that I don't need to try H even once. Last night I was reading a first-time experience on Erowid, and I realized that heroin is really a bitch, and it changes you in a big fuckin' way, even after trying ONCE! It's like you are reborn and addiction is no surprise! It's amazing and I can say "God bless Afghanistan", but not for me!
Thanks for all the comments. Great help out here. :)

Good! Probably one of the most important decisions of your life. Luckly you realised that before you made such a decision.
 
We will just have to agree to disagree on that one...were you around before diacetyl/morphine ?
when opium and laudenum were commonplace ?

I've known a couple people who have gotten addicted to opium, it doesn't matter what opiate it is physical and psychological addiction can still be present.
If people can get addicted to pot (and don't try to bullshit us and tell us they can't) then they can get addicted to opium.
Use opium daily for a couple weeks and lets see if you get withdrawals
 
I'm really proud of you. So many people ask the same question and end up just considering the people who've gone through addiction the minority. Most people who ask your question made up their mind before asking the ? and were simply looking for validation from long term users.

I can't stress how bad of an idea it is to try H
 
Thanks a lot my friends. I know for sure that someday I'll remember that I changed my mind because of your answers and I'll be more thankful for you and Bluelight. :)
 
NO! Heroin addiction is not a game...do you think I like bein a junkie. You have a choice! Choose NO!
The things you do. The money it cost. THE WITHDRAWAL! It is not worth it!

Wise decision my friend. If there were a way to bookmark this post and be able to come back to it at one week, one month, and a years time, I think revisiting it would help you to realize the importance of your decision.
 
It really is surprising that your a heroin user and you are 'pro-heroin' regarding someone trying it for their first time. This is my opinoin, and thats all it is. I cant speak for others. Heroin...its ruined so many lives... I think saying 'why chance it' is pretty relevant. We are not talking about mushrooms or weed here. This is a drug with that tends to be HIGHLY addictive. It is very destructive in every aspect of a users life. It has realistic dangers. Overdoses do happen.

Obviously one use doesnt make you an addict. But choosing between using that one time or not at all can change your life. It is a major fork in the road. The chances of someone "trying" heroin just once is pretty slim. And if you do succeed what was the point. More importantly, what if you fail? Ive been on bluelight since long before I used heroin for the 1st time 7 years ago. I can think of a few members who started with an innocent curiousity, and confidence they could use recreationally. 1 year later these people were "heavy addicts." I see it online and in real life

I guess the reason I am even wasting time typing about this is because I saw it happen to me. In all honesty when I sparked a curiousity, nothing someone said would have changed my mind. I really did not think i would become an addict. Yes, there are acceptions, but the large majority will not use just once. This is not some acid trip.



I know you only use sporadically. I have been like you at times in my life but i dont think i ever had the control you do. For me its either legal problems, financial reasons, or a new bottom I am facing that puts a gap between my every day use.I really do enjoy using, but it has fucked so much of my life up. I started oxy "recreationally" when I was 21, since I was 23 I have been shooting dope and coke. I would much rather enjoy life without having the massive urge to use when i get paid. At times I feel like I dont have a choice. I am definitely an addict and "addicted" (though at the moment not physically for the 1st time in 7 years.)

I dont know. I just enjoyed life so much better before I was heavy into drugs. that being said, putting the negative consequences (which seem so frequent for me) aside, I can and will not lie. I love getting high.

I only make 800 a week and even using 2 days a week fucks my money up so bad. Maybe if I made more and I could manage using and living better id feel different.

I wish I was like you though psychedlic jay. That I only used on the weekends because thats what I WANTED to do. For me its like I enjoy it on the weekend so why not during the week? I just so happen to use on the weekends becuase I get paid friday. Up until may of this year I was using every day.

@jay just out of curiousity how long have you been using heroin? Props to you for keeping your use moderate.

Been using opiates in general since 03-04ish.... I use heroin once every week...

I budget my drug use really really hard. No more than a couple hundred in a weekend...

People still don't understand that it isn't impossible to use moderately. It isn't a if you use you are doomed type situation... I use when I have extra money to use.

1. it keeps tolerance down.
2. it stops any physical binds from happening...

All drug use is curiosity...

I do not stick with heroin, I switch it up as well... I am on occasions a poly drug user....


I am not pro-heroin, I am pro choice. If you choose to use, go for it... No one can take the experience away from you.
 
^ yes. We have a choice; that's our right. (Well, who cares what the pigs think.) There are people with excellent self control, and never become addicted IME these are almost mythical creatures, like unicorns. Or something.

I had a girl who hated drugs, and I mean hardcore; she actualy ended up joining the police years later. But her curiosity got the better of her after months of seeing my use, seeing me get high as a kite, and she pretty much
demanded to try a smoke of brown. She liked it so much in fact, that she wanted to do it the day after that, and the day after. She said "it's like a I'm a real person for the first time in my life..." or words to that effect.

I broke up with her; There's no way I was gonna turn another friend into a junkie, it's happened too many times, and I should never have given the shit to her. Heroin is not an experimental drug, and as an addict I know that not only can it rob you of your free will, but also it can change your personality, and never for the better..... But it feels good, very, very fucking good; I'm really not surprised you're curious, I sure as hell was.

I'm sorry if this is one of those NA-style sermons, because I normally cannot abide that; I'm a pro-drugs person.....but you should respect this drug, as if it were a rattle snake. I've never known anybody in my life try it "just once"
