Hi Class-A-Team!!!

Are you doing your Leaving Cert Exams this year? Yes heroin is a crazy drug to get into before you have even left school! With the quality of heroin been so weak at the moment it would be a good time to get clean! Heroin always brings people down a lonely & dark road, give your life a chance before the gear takes your life over completely........
I have friends who IV, some of them have been using heroin for 30 years, but most of them have either stopped using heroin altogether since the drought or else they just have an occasional smoke, now just like i do. With the Dublin gear been only 5% people are worrying about what is in the other 95%. I was at the methadone clinic to-day, i have to go once every two weeks to do a drugs test & get my methadone prescription, i'd say 70% of the people i met in the clinic to-day have stopped using altogether & the other 30% are just have the occasional smoke. People are sick of been ripped off!!!
Before the drought i was using heroin daily, so i never passed my drugs test in the clinic. I used to have to go to the clinic once every week to do a drugs test & then i had to go to my chemist
Every Single Day to get my methadone & i had to be supervised taking it. Coz of this i always had to stay near home so that i didn't miss my chemist, i couldn't ever go away for the weekend or anything like that & it was so hard trying to make it back to the chemist after work in time before the chemist closed. Methadone is such a tie down, i always live in fear of missing the chemist, it awful.
Also the side effects of methadone are awful, it has of all the bad side effects that you get off heroin plus more, but it doesn't give you any of the good stuff that you get from heroin, there is no buzz off it what-so-ever, it just leaves you feeling blagh all the time!
At the start of the drought i managed to pass my drugs test for 8 weeks in a row so they changed it so i only had to go to the clinic once every 2 weeks! Then when i continued passing my drugs test they started to given me a weekly take away of methadone from the chemist, so at least i don't have to run around town like a mad women every day trying to make it back to the chemist before it closes! But if i started to fail my drugs tests again then i'd have to go back to the old way of daily pick ups! So now i normally use for a few days after i've been to the clinic & then i stay clean for the second week so i pass my drug test when i go back. Its a real balancing act! It no way to live!
The life of a heroin addict just gets worse as the years go by, you end up looking like shit, your teeth start falling out no matter ho much you look after them. You never have any money for your self coz heroin takes every single penny that you earn. After a while you stop getting a buzz off the heroin even if its good gear, all it does is keep you barely feeling well. You end up loosing all your non heroin using mates, it can get so lonely, if your family were to find out it would hurt them & they would stop trusting you. Also you live in constant fear of been caught with heroin, if you are caught you could go to jail, as well you would end up with a criminal record, that means that there are certain jobs that you would never be allowed to do & certain countries that you wouldn't even be let into to visit!
Soon you realized that there is nothing enjoyable left in heroin, its all hassle & risk, you'll always be broke & feeling sick! Thats when people normally go on methadone & as i explained above that is a whole lot of grief & hassle in itself! Then you end up with a heroin addiction AND a methadone addiction, & thats scary as hell when it happens!
Heroin is a road that starts off as a great buzz, but it
always turns bad, no good ever comes out of it! But by the time you realize how bad your life has become its often too late, your brain is totally programed to use heroin & its so bloody hard to stop using it! Sure look after a year & 4 months of only crap gear been available i'm still spending most of my money on it, it becomes a habit that is near impossible to break!
I know you didn't ask me what life of a heroin addict is like & i'm sorry for going on & on, 8( i know i must sound like an awful hypocrite!!! But if there is anything that i could do or say to make you stop using heroin then i would do it! You have your whole life ahead of you, you'll be finished school in a few months & then the world is you oyster! Don't let heroin take you over coz it will never totally let you go!
Ok Class-A-Team that is the end of the nagging! I promise not to lecture you again, well i will try not to!

Just look after your self & i hope that you do well in your leaving Cert Exams! I'm hoping to go back to College in September! I'm 40 years old, so its now are never!!!! Take Care & remember that i'm always here if you need a chat! You come across as very clued up & mature, don't let heroin squeeze that out of you!
