Hey high hopes welcome to BL! I'm a 23 year old heroin addict from Massachusetts, USA and I'm new here also. I know how u feel about being judged :/ a lot of ppl are like that around here, too. Its almost summer here and I still have to sweat under long sleaves bc my injection sites are all scarred up. You can imagine what kind of expressions that would render from other people! Lol.
I was once in the break room at my job and across the room there were these 2 boys around my age talking and I overheard one of them say, "so I heard there's a girl here that shoots dope." Followed by judgmental snickering. His friend replied "oh good to know if I ever decide to give up on life. What a loser."
Little did they know I was directly across the room from them, feeling like someone clamped my heart with a hair straightener on full heat. What makes it even worse was I was in fact sitting there with my phone dope sick trying to set up a deal, and leaving work 2 hours early bc I was sick.
They also don't know what my background is like; that every morning I look in the mirror and pray that this shot right here would be strong enough to put me out bc i just can't take it anymore.
I have an introduction thread I started the other day and I wrote my story in it if you care to read it. It might make you feel better to read someone else's addiction story

and should you ever just need to vent or chat you can PM me or email me at
[email protected]. (don't know if adding that is allowed.. Sry mods)
