IV Users.... Do you regret "picking up" the needle?

i always did oxycontin and roxi 30s and sniffed them for 3 years and loved everything about sniffing crushing,making a nice fat line rolling up the bill, and MOST of all the drip and taste....

a little over a year ago my life was at a shitty point my best friend had just passed in a car accident.. i was hoping around to dif motels every week and new the cops and DEA were trying to catch me "pushing"... well one motel i ended up at for a couple weeks i ende up meeting the guy next door and found he loved opiates too ..I would watch him boot his shit and one day i was like fuck it ill try it only cause i know i love sniffing pills this will be a one time thing...WRONG.. i put 2 roxi 30s in a needle and fell in love ... i went from sniffing about 4 30mg roxi's a day to shooting 5 at once 150 mg oxy at once 4 to 5 times a day so 600 to 800mgs of oxy a day ... my pockets were no longer fat and couldn't believe how fast a needle can take over my life and take everything i owned and lost some good friends ... the only thing i can sniff and get off on is opana but still need alot and i pretty much gave up the needle ...it just sucks looking back thinking i was an addict when i was sniffing 4 pills a day and didnt realize how fast a needle could do damage

remember track marks don't lead you in the right direction

post in the appropriate place. You cant just post shit wherever the hell you want and expect people to answer it....and just repeating it over and over and posting it more than once will not get you your answer.

Congratulations on going without it for three whole years! I haven't used heroin in over 2 years (even though I preferred to snort it).

I would never support how there is so much of a stigma about bootin up. but the thing is alot of yall on here just dont even understand how bad it gets. becuz of your resources, etc. the college kids in middle class land shootin up with micron filters and new needles everytime and rotate injection sites, etc, thats all great....but once you start fuckin up, or when you aint got those resources to begin with, and you dont live that kind of perfect model-drug-user life thats when all the shit that you been told about the needle does come true.

Shootin up with Gatorade, or sprite, or snow that you grabbed off the side of the road on the block that you just copped your dope on, cuz you aint got no water and cant afford water and you so fucking sick that you cant even be bothered to wait the 10 minute til you can get to a bathroom thats safe enough to shoot up in and use their water...so you take the snow in your bottle and blow the heat vents on it til it melts and shoot up with that....or tryin to catch rain water with your bottle as you drive away from the spot...shit like that....Sittin pokin your self over and over for 45 minutes or a hour, just tryna get a shot in your fuked-up-ass veins....the skeezy, scuzzy shit that you do, it happens...and it may not happen at the beginning of your "im so in control" phase but you go long enough and it will....

I aint sayin that you guys are missin out cuz you aint haha.....jus sayin, that when you from this kind of environment that so many of yall seems to be from, this kinda upper middle class college kid type shit, where you got a perfect lil pharmacy kit that you use each time you boot up and you never do anything even slightly unsanitary when you boot up...So you never known how it feels to just shoot up anywhere you can, to OD in stairwells of apartment buildings, to be out on the street and have to make do with anything you can...to share needles and not think twice becuz you are so sick you cant even bother...and shit like that...you DO do it, it DOES happen, it aint just myths...And i dont like how people treat iv drug users look down on them how i got treated in my years of shootin dope....and thebias and stereotypes do hurt and make you mad...but alot of that shit does happen and it aint just boogie man myths meant to scare you becuz you can go down so low

i just loved the way this was written ABSOLUTLEY TRUE so so true i dont shoot dope anymore but when i did it was exactly like u r describing not at first of course but it gets there it oh it definitley gets there very well written
 
Like said already, drugs have already shattered my life into pieces (not whining, its been great) and they made me who I am today, so might as well do it the right way eh?

I'll give lacy k kudos on that post as well even though I fuckin hate her. :)
 
I regret picking up the needle and opiates in general. I mean I still think a shot of dope is heavenly I just hate the consequences.

And once I shot dope I was open to shooting anything that I could. But if I could take it all back I probably wouldn't, I'd just wanna take back like 45% of my dope fiend days... my life would be like wayyy better.
Maybe its my idiot junkie nature but reasonable IV drug use can be fun, its just hard as fuck to be reasonable.

Ahhh newphone, where is your AA now? ;) JK--we ended up on OK terms in that AA thread, so Im just messin with you. but now is my chance to say some "Ha ha" shit tho, for all the "youll be using dope the next time you miss a dose, but Ill be clean on AA forevaaaar!" comments you made to me last time. For the record, I still aint used, and still aint got with the 12 steps--but I have had to go without my methadone a couple times since then when I couldnt get my refill on time, but i aint touched no dope tho--I made it thru.

You should consider comin over to the dark side ;) and for real-im just fuckin with you. it aint no hard feelings, I just couldnt help myself tho cuz you sure were awful certain that without NA/AA, id be the one relapsin and using again before you ever did. Im tellin you--the "fuck the 12 steps--I got this!" program works yo, you should give it a shot.

damn, I dont even know you yet man, its a little early for you to be hatin me! Lets at least get to know each other, you know, spend some time together, become friends, start to be attracted to eachother, fall in love, but then start havin terrible fights everynight, before we get to "fuckin hating" each other, damn! you move so fast!
 
^don't do it, it's a trap!:D

i've seen this thread going up and down for a while now and i've been thinking of a reply but have never hit the send button.

i don't regret picking up the needle, i regret abusing drugs via the needle; i wrecked a loving relationship in the beginning and lost touch with quite a few good friends over the years and have lost jobs. i'm a pretty solitary kinda guy but i'd be lying if i said i didn't miss all the company i used to keep.

i still have a battle with it every now and then but my tendencies to abuse it, not including drugs, has dramatically dropped off over the last couple of months.

great read this thread:)
 
while the needle hasn't been a problem, other drugs have been. i'm still dancing between a depressed state, verging on apathetic, back to normal hence my benzo tapering at the moment and why i've been so reclusive (apart from posting on here of course:p).

i know you've got all the strength in the world to put it down as well, mav. and you've certainly got all the reasons in the world! <3
 
I regret using that ROA honestly. After you taste your DOC directly in the blood stream, it doesn't feel the same if you go back to snorting imo. It does go back after time abstaining but i'll always remember what it COULD feel like if I were to give in and boot it. It's been almost 9 months for me and i'll still think about copping a rig and bootin' when I have something.
 
Well, if I could go back and have a re-do I would avoid the needle like the plague but at the same time I would've been doing my drug of choice regardless. Still, knowing that I used needles sometimes makes me feel pretty dirty to this day and it used to make me feel bad about myself. After quite a bit of time to reflect on my experiences I have reached a point where I no longer feel all that ashamed of myself because the past is just that: the past. People change, myself included. I did a 180 and I'm proud of who I am now, and knowing this makes up for the feelings I have about me using needles a few years ago.
