OKay, I'm not a big heroin user. I do it only once in awhile. I used to do it a little more like 3 to 4 times a week. I smoke it mostly: I've shot up like 5 times only in my life.

I know Heroin is one of the most addictive drugs
But, the thing is I've never gotten addicted or any withdrawals.

All my friends get addicted to the point that its annoying. All they worry about is Heroin (black). They don't shut up about it. The guys don't even got jobs, yet they wake up every morning wondering how to get $40 for heroin. Even, when they get their fix; they still want more and more and more... They'll get their fix and claim their not high; even though, they cant stop nodding out lol. I'll come through and smoke them out, and they still say their not high; which pisses me off cause they don't even keep it to themselves; nope, they gotta throw it in my face like its my fault :X Plus, it just a waste if they don't get high or don't appreciate it.

Sometimes, I even question their intelligence on how they wrap their world around heroin. I don't know it just seems pathetic.

Anyways, my question is why don't my body ever get addicted. There have been times when I'd do it all week and I'll never feel any pain or addiction.
I'll get high on it and the next day I'll be fine and able to move on with my life. I go to school and work, so I stay busy. I don't sit home all day thinking about it and bugging people about it like my "friends".

Up to this day, they claim they hurt, but I think it's bull$hit. Cause first of all they burly smoke it like once every week or two and they have the nerve to say "Omg dude I was soo cold turkey last nigh"t.
Okay, I understand they're addicted but really?? cold turkey??

So, why don't I hurt or pheen this drug; while, my friends are supposedly going through hell all the time???
 
It can take a long time in the beginning to pick up your first habit. A lot of people have to use for weeks and even months every day, before they become dependent. Keep in mind that's the first dependency.. it happens much much faster every time after that.

So, it sounds like so far you've just been lucky, and stayed ahead of it.. never using for long enough periods of time in a row to become dependent. But don't think that means you've beaten anything.. many people can "chip" for a long time before they finally become fully addicted and dependent. If you keep using, the chances are astronomically high that you'll get dependent. Trust me, there's nothing "special" about your particular body, that makes you immune to dependency. It just works differently for everyone, especially in the beginning before your body becomes dependent for the first time.

So, count your blessings you've dodged that bullet so far, and stop now.
 
^ what he said.
If a dollar were donated to BL every time someone thought they were immune to opiate addiction....well, there would be no donation drives. Be careful - not all chippers succumb; just most (in my experience anyway).
Might take years, but you never know what life event may weaken your resolve.
 
Yeah be careful it took me a year and a half of chipping even after the first couple months I was using almost every day for weeks and when I stopped for a month or two I would be slightly off for a day or two but nothing I would call WD's. It took a while to get to the point where I would get really sick from WD's. First tried it in 2005 wouldn't say I got really addicted until late 2006 early 2007. Used fairly regularly the whole time.
 
agree wasnt addicted to opiates at all just loved that warm feeling than one day trying to live with out the warm feeling took over

Do half a gram everyday for a year. Then get back to me, and tell me your still not physically and mentally dependent.
 
I saw one of my good mates go down on this shit and fast we both tried it together smoked it and I didnt enjoy it very much and felt sick for 2 days after. I see my old mate now and again he is skinny as a rake homeless and smells really bad even though he lives in a homeless shelter and has access to a shower he just does not seem to care. He is like a ghost that just wonders around town wondering where his next fix is coming from. I dont think he will live much longer thats if he is still alive havent seen him around in a while 10 years of heroin addiction and he just isn't worth knowing any more which is a shame cos he used to be such a good mate and was best man at my wedding.
 
If you carry on thinking you will never get addicted so it's ok to do it the chances are you probly will get dependent. Most of the people I know including myself sed they would never get addicted to this or that, but the truth is when your an "addict" you don't see it yourself or believe it.
 
You've just been lucky so far not to get addicted. It takes a pretty long time of daily use to experience your first withdrawal. Took me about a month of heavy use. Nowadays, I cant use more than 2 days in a row after being clean for months without experiencing withdrawals. After short use like 2-3 days it isn't that bad, but a lot worse than most people would imagine from such short use. The longer you use, the more you will start to FIEND (note spelling) the drug and the worse you will feel without it. Stop while you are ahead so you body DOESN'T (not don't) get addicted.
 
its almost as if the OP is complaining...lol..i honestly dont understand these threads...OP, take heroin every day for a few months and then stop and then tell me you dont feel withdrawals..lol..thats the only way to prove your theory..
 
I think that there is something to say about you continuing to hang out with these people despite them annoying you and complaining to the point of you giving them drugs so they can 'get well' yet still complain about it not being enough. What I'm saying it that you must have some sort of psychological dependence on the drug if you continue to subject yourself to such an unhealthy environment, and it might be so that you can justify your use by pointing at them and saying you're not as bad because you are not like them. Yet...

Yeah be careful it took me a year and a half of chipping even after the first couple months I was using almost every day for weeks and when I stopped for a month or two I would be slightly off for a day or two but nothing I would call WD's.

My story is very similar, down to the very years. I started chipping with vicodin in 2005 and then started using it close to daily in 2006 and began using oxycodone as well at that time, but could stop with only a few days of discomfort even when using 4-5 days a week at that time. It wasn't until early 2007 that I could really feel the withdrawals when I stopped, and so moved onto heroin to avoid them considering my oxy dealer began exclusively selling heroin at that time and so nobody except for me and that dealer needed to know my little secret.
 
Good for you! I'll see you back on here when you need help with withdrawals a year from now

I appreciate the concerns. But yeah I been doing this since 2011 and no addiction or dependency yet. I've got friends; who've done it less than me and they're all retarded now...

As for those of you who tell me to do more everyday.. Sorry I'm not stupid like you idiots. That's the reason I didn't do it everyday in the first place. Its called self control and having a life. The drug is expensive and I'm not gonna steal from family and friends to support my selfish habit. Most you people are just mad cause most of you probably fucked up your lives for this stupid drug.

Anyways I plan on doing it ONE more time and I'm done.(I know many addicts say that but really I quit this shit) . I'm not even gonna be the one who buys it. . Drugs just hold people back and drain your bank.

I thought about it and heroins not even that great. All it does is make you itch especially in the ass and have you falling asleep everywhere.. I'd rather smoke dank weed than this crap

As far as me complaining about those in my rotten environment. Why don't you try chillin with these jackasses for a day and tell me their decent guys afterwards. I'm not one to have high expectations from people. I'm VERY patient and forgiving but these fuckers have pushed my last button. Even before they got addicted to heroin; they've always been punks.. I know its cruel to say but I only associated with them because they knew the dealers lol.

The shit talking is toward the negative commenters; not those of you who kept your cool. I know addiction is hard; that's why I never got too deep in this drug. I controlled myself

peace.. remember don't do drugs kids..

Your body doesn't become addicted, it becomes dependant, addiction is a psychological and probably the hardest thing about giving up. If all your friends are 'retarded' then your in a circle of dependant people. Another long-term user problem is alienation from non-using society. I know so many people who would forgive you for ANY drug.... ANY drug apart form H. It's drug snobbery mixed with ignorance and our biased media. Make sure you keep a circle of non-using friends because if you get out of the scene, you would only have these 'retarded addicts' in your support network. Loneliness is a powerful driver for picking up the brown again.

May I ask how much & how often? Do you have a schedule? A new Damon Albarn track is released today (28th April 2014) with a track called '5 days on, 2 days off':

http://www.contactmusic.com/article/damon-albarn-heroin-use-blur_4127255

Never was a Blur fan, but he is one of the very few BIG name musicians who admitted to heavy use. Of course, we all knew 'Beetlebum' was about H, he said so at the time but people assumed he was just referring to his then GF, the guitarist/singer in Elastica.
 
I note the album in on Spotify minus that track.... a single then, or the interview freaked out the money men? Anyway, the lyrics -'"Tin foil and a lighter, the ship across,Five days on, two days off."
 
I consider them "retarded" because of how they act. Not their addiction to heroin... You can't even pull out your phone in front of these guys without them asking you, if they can have it.... No worries these guys live over 30 miles away from me; so they're clear of my social network. It ain't like they live a few blocks from me. I have many other friends; who don't do heroin. I feel no alienation or lonliness.
 
Nobody was being an asshole in this thread...why are you getting so defensive. I think you are just making a thread to make your self feel like you are not going down a path to addiction by putting other people down who are addictied(calling them retared etc..) and are doing the "im not as bad off as THOSE people". Why are you hanging out with them if they are so retarded??? In the begining when I first started using I would hang out with a lot of retards to, because they could get it, nothing else in common... I hope you don't use anymore because it becomes an awful burden. Best of luck.
