My NYC/NJ Heroin Blog

[alteknj]

I love reading blogs about heroin. A lot of people write blogs of heroin use, their addiction, etc. I used to write a lot of shit down when I was using (journal type shit) and then I got 'clean' on methadone 5-6 months ago. So in May, I decided to take the plunge and start my own heroin blog. I try to keep it anonymous because right now I am giving it out in multiple ways (some I post on the drug boards here obviously know it's me -- alteknj), some I do anonymously, some I just link close friends, etc. So I am trying to get the traffic now, since I have like ~10 posts in 3 months and I had no traffic the first 2 months. So now, I want to start getting people to read it, bookmark it and keep up with it because it's something that I will keep up with for the foreseeable future. I feel good writing it and enjoy it a lot. It helps me in a therapeutic way. I write all types of shit; anything really I feel like: old war stories when I was using, to just contemplations of the heroin life and being a junkie, how I got clean and on methadone, how I am doing, what I am feeling, what's going on with me, etc. I try to mix it up and keep it fresh and entertaining, serious at times, funny, but also a reminder of why I don't want to go back. I also throw on some of those 'older' journal entries I wrote during the heights of my addiction any number of years ago. I post important information at times in regards to harm reduction, sometimes news about heroin, addiction research, laws, etc as well. But I try to keep it very personal, deep and I like writing and posting the stories from when I was using. It's a reminder to myself.

I hope you all enjoy and share with people, junkies or not. Offsite or whatever. Feel free to comment on the blog there or whatever. Shoot me an e-mail at [email protected]

Thanks!

Hey, we don't really allow threads advertising a blog (we didn't allow 'pigpen' to do it) so we suggested that he put a link (or in his case what to Google to find it) so I suggest you do the same as well as providing a link in your profile. This can be done by putting it as your website as there is an option to do that, plus you can also put the link anywhere in your 'info' on your profile.

PM me if you have any further questions as I'm closing this thread now. It's nothing against you, just protocol to prevent a bunch of people from coming here to do the same.
