Life after Heroin

Ive never touched heroin mainly because it's hard to get around these parts and i don't have the cash for it. But i have been addicted to morphine and oxy and everytime i go off the shit the cravings for alcohol comes back.

I was a drunk before a drug addict and as soon as i started using opiates on a regular basis i lost all taste in booze. I came down with chronic pain and i started getting scripts for codeine, morphine, demerol and oxy and the cravings for booze was replaced by cravings for opiates. Im a hell of alot healthier for it now and my life is alot more stable so i can't really complain about the fact that im a junkie now more or less.

I know that if i ever quit opiates altogether ill fall back on the booze for sure. In fact i did quit for awile a few months back and i got drunk for the first time in a long fucking time. To make a long story short i woke up in the drunk tank.

So i think ill stick with opiates no matter how many times i go through withdrawal and no matter how much of a hassle it is it still causes me alot less trouble then alcohol does.

More then likely ill either die a junkie or a drunk and ill die alot sooner if i go back to being a drunk. Being clean just isn't an option for me.
 
I'm doing well. there is life after heroin, as inconceivable as that may be. and I strongly believe that if I can quit, anybody can, because my habit was truly one of the most monstrous habits I have ever seen in any junkie. I still drink almost every other day, but I did that on the junk as well. smoking herb definetely helps ease your mind and cool you down.

You could still OD from snorting fent laced dope. And no, you really wouldn't like it to be laced...

I don't shoot, i snort, and like I said, I always do a test bump with a small scoop thats about .002, so i don't see why I wouldn't want it laced. I'm sure you've seen those tiny scoops that come with the glass containers for coke and H, thats what it is.

How long have you been clean? How long did you use and how much? Do you still get cravings? Hopefully I will have the success you have had.

A test bump doesn't mean anything if the fent isn't evenly distributed. Keep in mind that it wasn't plain vanilla fentanyl, it was an analog. With regular fentanyl you could OD on 1mg with no tolerance. Who knows how little of whatever analog they fucked up cutting will cause an OD.

Oh, and around 5-10 grains of salt = 1mg.
 
last summer bunch of people dropped in Philly from fent.....sad

Nationwide over 1000 people died from last year's fentanyl outbreak. At least that's the last figure I saw quoted by the media. I recently posted a big indepth article about it in DITM.
 
Last time I did heroin was April 28th, 2006. Since then I haven't drowned my sorrows in the bottle or thump a bible. I did a little time in AA (actually I haven't drank alcohol or done cocaine since 4/23/06). But I did complete the 12 steps with a sponsor, and I think it helped ALOT. Not just drugs and alcohol, but taking the time to look at what I had done to myself and my friends and family and where my life was headed.
All I've done is some pot, a little benzos and san pedro once. But I didn't do any drugs at all for about 10 months.
I was a pretty hardcore junky, I was homeless, I was ready to commit suicide.
Theres plenty of shit to do for a ex-junky. I went back to college, got straight A's. I got accepted to a new University 2 hours from home, and am moving out there in a few weeks. Got my car back on the road, got back together with an ex girlfriend. Me and her got a wonderful puppy which is the best dog in the world. And me and my girlfriend are going to the same Uni together.
It hasn't been all perfect, sobriety isn't all sunshine and rainbows. I've come to learn that life has it's ups and downs. I've matured alot, although I still have a ways to go, I've learned alot.
I just used to be a complete waste, I was a leech to anyone who would come close to me. I was stealing from the last people in the world who would even associate themselves with me. I was real fucked up, and it feels fucking awesome to escape that.
and No relapse isn't a part of recovery. At least I don't think so. It's not about what you did last week, or earlier today, it's about how you're living this very second. Just being here for the moment, the past is the past and who knows if there will be a future. It's just nice to be here and try to enjoy the moment. Good music, good people, beautiful summer weather.
I don't know about the whole "my worst day in recovery is better than my best day using" bullshit. But this is alright.
ya know the passion you had for shooting dope? you can put that passion into whatever area in life you want. and if you put in the hard work the results are unbelievable.
 
^congradulations are in order dankster. Your post makes me happy 4 u.

Exactly. I can remember going through the same amount of herb at times. Now, I am in the same place as you, an eighth will last me about a week.
 
Heroin aint shit dude, anyone can fucking quit, the key is to make improvements in your life

yea i think anyone can quit dope, becuse anythign is possible. but if it was just that easy, rehab wouldnt be a multimillion dollar industry.

It's a multimillion dollar industry because just like kimo therapy everyone thinks It's a final solution thats neccessary. I know thats a bad example but try to think of a better one.

I've never have withdrawls to heroin so maybe I know nothing about addiction, but I will end up using every day for a week straight If I'm not carefull. When I don't have it yeah I think about but then I just think about "I can double click the battlefield 2 icon on mydesktop" and have something else to do. Granted not everyone likes videogames but there's always something....unless you live in the midwest?8(

I've always told myself If I ever go through W/D I'd probably quit heroin all together if not for a few months. How come everyone can't just chip AFTER they've beaten W/D. Like...spend money on a girl, buy new clothes, fix up your car or buy a new one, get the shit you've always wanted and at the end of the day while you're enjoying whatever you just did shoot up a fat hit of H and thank your self control that you got to do life and heroin in one day

Its possible. I've done it. But it looks like this:

sunday: fuck I hope this day passes soon. don't leave bed
monday: fuck fuck fuck when is friday
tuesday: depressed, waiting for friday still in bed
wednesday: shitty day, sooooo close... can I just do it now instead?
thursday: yes! its tomorrow! since its so close I just won't leave bed today
friday: shit shit shit waiting for the man - get high - its never satisfactory
saturday: fuck! yesterday sucked. oh well, only a week till i can do it again, i'll just wait in bed

As a former daily heroin user, I can say that even when you beat the WDs and you only use occasionally, say weekly or monthly, it will still find a way to consume your mind.
You're honestly better off not touching it at all after that.

I guess I'll trust you on that, I'm not about to start pretending like I know how heroin is after W/d
