Heroin My body dont get addicted to heroin??

I forget who I told recently, but don't think of addiction as a binary thing. There are varying degrees of addiction, early stages of the disease are very mild. If you keep using, though, you'll progress the disease to a point where it's not mild.

Addiction is sort of like a bridge, and every time you use you're adding some weight to that bridge. Eventually you'll have added so much that your bridge will collapse and you'll have reached that stage of clinically-diagnosable addiction. Some people have well-built bridges, others have bridges made of toothpicks, but eventually they all collapse. Some drugs 'weigh' more than others, too. For some people, even after that bridge collapses, it remains somewhat passable, they're able to live relatively normal lives despite the drugs. Most just collapse in a heap though, at which point people are frequently trying to fill in the gap with weights instead of building a new bridge.
 
They say it takes 21 days to form a habbit. As far as a physical dependence to opiates goes, it's not if, but when. This can happen quickly for some and longer for others, there's a lot of variables that go into that equation, but it's inevitable with continued use, although some of the reason could be you're smoking crappy mexican tar, if you were in the eastern United States, and had access to #4, this process would happen sooner.. Count your blessings and quit while you're ahead. P.S. I feel sorry for you westcoasters and your black tar! Make a trip out east and try REAL h, not that mexican BS..
 
"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."


These are some pretty bold and, might i say a somewhat ego driven statements, to make about a substance that you seem to know little about. Im not gonna talk shit here but ill just say to you that you should be careful with this mindset. It wouldnt be the first that someone had that ended up with the talons of addiction on their back. I got the impression that you think your somewhat immune to heroin addiction. Addiction can happen at different lengths of time but once you get there, it can be a real life changer.

I dont know your friends usage but i can tell you that opiate withdrawal is no bullshit and very real. Everyone's body is not the same and something that effects you might not effect someone else the same way. One thing i know is that its amazing how the brain can justify actions that otherwise would have seemed out of the moral bounds that you thought you had.

i think people can get into trouble when they dont have respect for the drug and the capability it has. Thats when it can get ya. When you think you control it. Thats where it wants you.

So i would just be cautious here. Maybe you can keep this usage the same way and i hope you do. But you cant tell the future and you certainly dont have a free pass to not getting addicted. Dont look down or disregard your friends cause you really dont know how they feel. Maybe they are bullshittng, maybe not. Doesnt really matter
 
Trust me eventually it will happen if you keep it up. You should quit now while you're ahead. It took me awhile to get addicted to oxy when I first started - months of using several times per week, but once you get addicted, it speeds up each time after that. Now if I use for more than 2 days in a row I get withdrawal. Don't mess with it, quit while you're ahead.
 
I got addicted to opiates basically from the start(but I was already an addict, just switched one addiction for another)...but it took me YEARS to become dependent and have WDs.
 
Trolling, no HR here, OP's ego is eventually going to write a check his body cant cash - how do I know? Because I was as arrogant as he once.

The only difference between you and your 'retarded' friends is that you haven't become physically dependent on the drug yet. You stated that you have used for a week straight at times, which is a lot for someone whose body was not put in the position of needing the drug each day just to not be sick.

It took me over 2 years to become physically dependant on opiates, and once that line is crossed there is no going back so I suggest that you stop now before crossing that line. Once you become physically dependant it becomes easier and easier for it to happen again when you stop/start. Like you could take a break after 'kicking' but if/when you pick up again it will only take a few days of consecutive use for your body to depend on it again to keep the withdrawals at bay.
