my mom is very strict about weed cause im 16. she just caught me again for about the 6ht timel so now she took my phone (cant call h connect), wont give me money at all, and i cant leave and my 21 year old brother will rat

do you have any advice or encouraging words for having to quit heroin cold turkey unwillingly? and mom is very upset what should i say to make her feel better.

Also, how long will the H come out of my system if ive doing it for at least 8months with only week brakes at a time, and i just started shooting like 2.5 months ago.

Sounds like a good thing.

You are 16. Christ, fuck off with the heroin. What a terrible thing for a mother to find out...weed is one thing but heroin? Jesus.

You should be fine...it's not like you have had time to build a huge tolerance or anything...withdrawals should be minimal.

Try to explain that you are experimenting with drugs and are trying your best to use harm reduction techniques. That's all I can think of. :\ And try to ask her for help regarding drug counseling (even though you may not want to/disagree, it makes you look like you recognize the detrimental effects of drugs.) Being defiant or proclaiming you are free to do what you want will get you NOWHERE.

And I'm kinda halfway serious about the counseling...you are 16. Heroin really is better for people who have a better understanding of their bodily and mental capacities. You are still growing and developing. Learn, try to concentrate on learning.
 
Its gonna be a rough week man. Expect 5-7 days of utter hell the 4th day is gonna be the worst. Just remember it will end shit will get better. I would tell her whats up and go into rehab or detox I mean what better time then now otherwise I think this may be the worst experience of your life.. I wish you luck
 
Tricky situation. On the one hand, it's definitely a good thing that you take a bit of a break from the hard drugs man, especially at your age (I'm thinking more from a developmental standpoint than a psychological one - Even if you're super mature and responsible and smart for your age, you don't want to be messing with your brain while it's still growing).

On the other, you don't solve a problem with force, in my opinion. If I was forced to kick a drug, it would make me resentful towards the people responsible and it would only harden my resolve to get back to it ASAP.

You may want to consider some counseling. Not for the obvious reasons - Just to be able to have an outlet and get some advice from a professional. It might seriously help you out long-term.

Short-term... What can you do man, you're in for a few rough days. Your family will think you have some kind of flu, and that's ok. I'd advise against telling anyone anything about your heroin use. For your sake AND theirs. There is plenty of stuff I've kept from my family, because a) I don't feel like telling them but also b) what they don't know won't hurt them. They'd have panic attacks if they knew all my secrets, and really, they'd be much happier off in the dark.

Good luck man.
 
you should try taking a bunch of immodium, like in the lope thread. Im still curious about how well that works. I live right by you man its nice out lately go chill at the beach itll be a nice place to be while kicking.
 
masterkush,heres what 99% of h addicts wont tell you..COLD TURKEY IS NOT THAT BAD!!!! IM NOT TALKING SHIT during my 10 years as a junker i did it at least 20 times. find something to keep you occupied during the sleepless nights and take tramadol,in my opinion its better than subutex.in 6 days youls b feeling like a champ.staying off is much harder than getting off good luck...
 
Dude you shouldn't even be drinking or smoking weed let alone slamming heroin. If i had a 16 year old brother i'd feel pretty uncomfortable about what you're doing..Don't hold it against your brother man.

Use this opportunity to sort yourself out, because the potential road you're on is one of heartbreak and misery for everyone who loves you.
 
I had to quit opiates fairly suddenly - and I contacted a community drugs and alcohol program and fortunately got a good outreach worker (for free) who was totally on my side - he got me onto bupe program/prescriber within a week. I had to put up with nothing for 4 days - but usually, a dr will only wait 48hrs before setting u up with your first dose of bupe (assuming you can get onto a bupe situation) - (well - that's my understanding, and/or where I come from).

Bupe helped me with my WD symptoms like nothing else!

So if you can get some support like I did with the outreach worker (and get a good one who knows their shit) then it'll make things ALOT easier for you - that's my storey..

Good luck mate!
 
If you can score H maybe you could get your hands on some subs?

I agree with the above posters. 16 is young to be doing H but opiate withdrawals are no fun.

get a lot of Immodium, benzos, benadryl, ambien, soma, if you can it could make the withdrawals less harsh.

If this were to happen to me at your age I'd be twice as determined to use heroin cause I was always rebellious and hated following rules. But I'd advise staying away from H. Stick to weed. I spent all high school hiding weed from my parents, it became a game to me and eventually they just accepted that I was a pot smoker. Best of luck to you, this could be a good thing if it gets you off the H.

But some of us just have to learn the hard way.

Couldn't have said it better....

Your lucky your mother is allowing you to stay in the house.

Either of my parents would have kicked me out :|
