Are you calling me an addict??? The cheek of you Brims!!! ;)

Tee~hee!!! Only joking!!! :)

I hope you keeping well me auld pal!!! I'm going out to~night for the first time in agesssssssss.......... Gonna head into town to a gig. I'll see a lot of people that i haven't seen in a long long time, old friends that have pretty much guessed about my heroin use, & they are not at all happy about it, most of them don't talk to me anymore because of it, & the ones that do talk to me also talk about me when i'm not there, should be a fun nite.........

The funny thing is that all of these old mates of mine will be drunk out of their minds to~nite & a lot of them will be snorting lines & lines of coke!!! Yet they think i'm a scum bag?! Hehehehe!!! ;)
 
No need to go by looks. Simply look for methadone clinics, or in lieu of that Harm Reduction Centres. They are in every nation though usually only the biggest cities though not every country has an opiate/opioid scene. There you will find a tonne of junkies if there are any to be seen.

There is no universal"look." I look like a policeman and yet I have a 27 year habit. I have met every conceivable type of junkie and haven't been suprised in a decade or more.

^ True!

I've lost a stone in 5 weeks since starting crack and smack, but i'm no where near a gaunt skinny junkie. Anyone can be a drug user and keep it under wraps. Healthy heating is key. Whcih, I admit i'm not managing at the min as dole have fucked up, and ive had bills rape my dole when i've had it recently. I've hardly had money to buy food, or an appetite.

My BF is two years younger than me, 8 stone and a bit, tired sunken grey eyes, and looks older than me. :( Years of squatting and a smack habit'll do that if you don't look after yourself.

It can be done though. The word is Moderation. Big word though.

However, I can always spot a fellow druggy. Sometimes it's the clothes, the eyes, the mutual recognition, or the area you're wandering about in!

There ought to be a "Miss Junkie" beauty pageant. TV viewing figures would beat those for "Miss World."

Was on the tube earlier in the evening. Some of them fuckers don't need to tattoo their foreheads, purty scary.
 
Seconded, Cherry. You may be a fellow Felt fan, but that doesn't mean I can't give you a slap.

Yep you gotta look after yourself, if you keep loosing weight at that rate you could end up very sick, along with your body been introduced to heroin & crack, its a recipe for disaster! You are playing with two very powerful drugs there so it will be near impossible to to keep it in moderation! Its not something to take lightly. Make sure you eat as properly as you can.

Most people could only get low grade heroin 5 weeks ago, its only in the last 2 weeks that things seem to be really improving, so be careful coz you might go out to score gear & you'll suddenly get something really strong that will have you addicted with in no time, & that is when the real problems starts, imagine if your dole was cut off & you had an at least a £50 a day heroin habit? It wouldn't be nice. I know i probably sound like i'm preaching, i don't mean to, but i think most people who read your post would be concerned, look after yourself & watch your weight. <3

I'm a bit backwards to everyone else, i never lost weight through using gear, my weight has always been just right for my height. But when the drought hit & i couldn't score anything decent i just stopped eating, as in TOTALLY stopped eating. I have lost so much weight & everyone i know is commenting about it, i have kept my heroin use hidden from my family for all these years & now when i stop using i have become so sick looking that they are starting to suspect that it has something to do with drugs. Just my luck that all this would happen when i am finely actually behaving my self!! :\
 
Every opiate user I've met has been pretty damn skinny, although most (read: all) of them also use stimulants fairly often so I don't know if that even counts for anything.

I agree with the poster that mentioned that junkies can have perfect teeth (mine are far from perfect, but they're all there and straight as an arrow thanks to four years of braces), and people who use stims more often than not (mainly crack and methamphetamine - at least around here) all have really bad/horrible/missing whole groups of teeth.

I'd say its easier to spot a crackhead or a tweaker on the street than a junkie.

I've only just noticed this reply, and the others showing me concern.

Yep, i've lost weight too fast, which means it'll either go straight back on, or keep coming off. I've no appetite what so ever and am eating probably way under 500 calories a day, if that, some days I just can't eat, i've no interest in it, I see food as just a necessity that does not interest me at the moment, so I eat what my stomach can fit in, which is not a lot, just to get some nutrition. No booze either, which is probably where a lot of the weight loss has come from, as I would drink well over my daily allowance of calories in booze a day. That's stopped now. With already underlying eating/body image issues that are stuck in my head from a previous boyfriend behaving like a cunt towards me and verbally abusing me, I know in my head that things are not mentally healthy in there at the moment.

The gear at the moment is weak, depending on where I get it from. Managed to get some decent stuff earlier, I know where to avoid unless desperate. So, I doubt I have a serious habit, I use every day, with a day or two off inbetween. I am going to stop. Hoeever, I'm due a double dole payment next week, so with that much money at my disposal, i'm going to have to be strong.

I've replaced one habit with another one. Drink was always my demon, but I think the easiness that I manage to have stopped the booze, is because I've replaced it with something else.

I feel like a hypocrite, as I'm waiting on one of each coming back, my bf and mate have just gone out to sort us.

But it's a wake up when you realise that people are actually concerned. I just had a talk with my mate who recently started pinning. He's had a wake up too after some of his friends found out and had a long talk with him. He's realising himself, and he's promised me he's going to get himself on a script, it was me who took him to the drugs project to get him on the right track. He's not a daft lad, he knows he needs to stop.

Thank you for your words, and others who have showed me concern. I needed to hear them <3

see, from the way you post on here, you seem further from a scum bag than anything, it doe just go to show that people just dont want to make their own minds up about stuff, and would rather just go with a media portrayal of someone on heroin that they are scumbags, its all such a big lie, its ok to be smashed on booze but heroin no no no no!!
 
I got a nod and an "areet mate" which i can only put down to junkie recognition on the metro the other day, the other guy was def a junkie and my pupils were tiny and probs scratching my nose.
 
ive never tried h but i have smoked crack that ive made myself, the closest thing to a speedball ive had was a bottle of cody linctus and a gram of coke lol, was nice tho!

this seems really off topic..im sure i saw some mention of b+w lol

oh well
sorry mods i must be well annoying!
