Heroin shot up my friend now they won't leave me alone

[takeitpersonal]

I moved out of london for a while and recently moved back. I didn't have any contacts for gear as I'd quit when I moved out of London, but quickly relapsed when I came back.

So I called up my ex (who introduced me to h) and they said they'd sort me some brown if I shot them up (I started shooting after we split up). I didn't really want to, but wanted brown more, so I agreed (it was going to be a "one time" thing, yea right..). Obviously, I ended up shooting them a lot, we were also fucking, they'd give me free gear or on tick, it was pretty good for a while.

I got fed up with their bullshit (remembered why I split up with them in the first place) so we stopped fucking and shooting (I still shoot myself). Now though, they won't fucking leave me alone. Asking to come over for me to shoot them. Asking to come over and shoot themselves. I feel guilty about shooting them in the first place, but they were the one who introduced me to heroin (no excuse, obviously), and they wouldn't give me any dealers number so I had to go through them (I've got that sorted out now, but that kind of selfish behaviour is why I don't like being around them).

They have no idea how to shoot, despite watching me do it many times. They didn't even realise you had to put water in...! This concerns me, because they are the kind of person who "doesn't need nobody!", meaning, they are too proud to read instructions on how to do it properly, so I'm worried they'd fuck it up, hit an artery, inject it unfiltered, whatever. Equally concerning, they have a very low tolerance (even though they've been sniffing h for 5 years) but like to act like they are hardcore. They would complain when I did a bigger shot than them, when a 50mg shot has them sprawled out on the floor semi-conscious and drooling, and a 200mg shot has me just high, you know? So I'm worried they will overdose.

This person has immigrated from Europe - so they have no family here (or in their home country for that matter) to support them or help them if they get into deep shit (i.e. homeless, sick etc). They also don't seem to appreciate the addictive risks (ironically, most people I know who claim to have no issue with drugs are the most addicted) and claim that it "will never happen to me!". For me, this is the wrong attitude. I shoot heroin yes, I am fully aware that it could destroy my life, but that is a risk that I am willing to take. In my opinion, claiming that it will never happen to yourself is living in denial, possibly making it more likely.

What should I do? I am definitely not going to shoot them again, I don't want to teach them either (no one taught me, I read it off the internet, in booklets etc). I did want to be a friend to them, but it has become clear they just wanted me for sex and to shoot them, not actually appreciating my company, so fuck 'em. I guess I just need to cut them off.

Thanks.

Lol I only needed my friend to shoot me up a couple times before I was ready to do it myself. It's really quite simple and if they can't figure out what they're doing after all that they don't need to be IVing in the first place. If you're trying to stay sober or whatever then fuck them and do what you have to do.

Urge them to quit before they are addicted. It sounds like they want to jump into a downward spiral.

You're right - it is frightening to think of them attempting to shoot up, I mean, they've seen me prep maybe even 100 times and didn't realise you put water in?!?! It's crazy, they could really fuck themselves up if they tried to shoot. They won't even attempt smoking because "I'm shit and I don't want to waste b". Everyone is shit at first, it only takes a few bags to get it right, currently she's wasting so much by sniffing it. This is in the UK so the gear is made for smoking, I much prefer the high from smoking vs. sniffing (IME, if you don't, you are really crap at smoking) because it hits much harder. I could give up the needle if my tolerance was low enough, but right now I have to smoke for like half an hour before I'm getting a good buzz as I have to smoke so much.

I'm on methadone but not trying to stay clean, just for financial reasons. I get take-outs so just skip a day or two if I'm using gear. I just don't need to see this person anymore as I have my own dealers now (no thanks to them), and I prefer to use alone (unlike them, who can't be alone for more than a few hours).

I stopped fucking and shooting them because I wanted to be a good friend for them and look out for them, shooting a "friend" is not right...but it is obvious they don't value my company, just my abilities in bed and with a syringe.

Er, I said they've been sniffing heroin for 5 years. They're addicted man, but relatively on top of it, but they can't control it when IV'd. They've already lost their job (as a stripper..) for being too high at work (they'd come to mine before going to work). They are so selfish (can't use alone) that they have gotten at least 3 people hooked on heroin (that I know of) just so they'd have someone to use with. I shot them up but they'd already been using 5 years, I would never shoot up a newbie or give heroin to someone who wasn't already an everyday addict.

This is the kind of person I would cut out of your life entirely. You have to think of yourself as top priority, you don't want people like this anywhere close to you in life.

 

[i are spectre]

agreed. the people you put yourself around will make a huge difference.

 

[KillSurfCity]

i will agree with captain heroin as well; these people sound worthless. i know plenty of dope fiends that don't act the way these people do. these people sound like complete morons. get them OUT of your life. change your number and apartment if you need to.

 

[takeitpersonal]

Thanks guys. I just spoke to them on the phone as I need to meet them to give £5 I owe, predictably they are being really persistent about getting it from me specifically. (many people owe her money, she has a job and is not short of money) I ended up putting the phone down with her rambling on about some BS how I talk down to her (the last time we were together I told her I didn't want to see her anymore because she is manipulative and selfish and a liar, which of course she denied). She asked me to get her some b yesterday, I thought just because she couldn't get any but turns out she thought I was going to shoot her (even though the last time I saw her I also made it clear I would never do that again)

I am definitely done with this situation.

 

[FlippingTop]

good for you!

Some people in this world really are nasty pieces of work, glad you sorted it out, just be sure to stick by your word

 

[Captain.Heroin]

I'm glad to hear it sounds like you're cutting this person out of your life. Best of luck.

Sorry to bump an older-ish thread but man I really, really hated being "that guy". I only had to have my friend shoot me up ONCE and I knew how to do that shit, it was heroin which does require alot of prep. but still, and I used a big fucking syringe and big ass needle. Not like nightmare huge, but pretty big as opposed to what i'm used to now. Then when one of my "friends" would find out I shot up, they'd beg and plead and beg some more until finally I just had enough of the shit and gave in. I always felt bad but they often just left no choice other than telling them to not be your friend/lose their number. Then after once, they'd ALWAYS stop by my house after they'd cop pills or dope and just have me shoot em up, like seriously? You can't figure this shit out on your own? I do regret showing one or two people, other doing it for them rather, as it's become a serious addiction for them and I feel partly responsible. But they'll find out a way regardless, and I figured i'd rather do a healthy IV prep than have them doing some unsanitary nasty shit. At least let em watch me do it for them a few times that way when they did theirs they couldn't say they didn't know.

 

[KillSurfCity]

just stay strong and if you are having trouble finding some, please resist the urge to hit these people up. sounds like you will be fine. you will probably save a lot of money and keep a lot of worthless drama out of your life, too.

when i first started using a "very good friend" of mine was helping me find stuff and was also the type that would not let me go in to his dealer's place to score. obviously because he was getting the stuff a LOT cheaper than he was charging me. he would also ask me to give him grams of bud just to deliver it to my house even though my house was on his way home from his dealers house. bullshit. don't let people use you. it is RARE i hit this guy up anymore. i have to be in dire straits.

Someone who can not I.V. themselves but need another person to do it for them is just a very scary fucking thought everyone. I mean I can understand the first few times your doing it if your not entirely sure on what your doing and a bit nervous I guess but even that is kinda ridiculous lol.

true that, as well. a user who does not know how to "do drugs" is probably a pretty poor excuse for a human. HAH! :D

No shit, I can understand pills maybe because the prep is more complicated than spraying water on it and filtering but after 10 times things should come pretty much by habit/routine. Hell, even by the 20th time, people that need others to IV them are the type of people that are always getting their shit taken. I used to know alot of people who would mix up some bunk shit in a spoon and give it to the person and act like it was the dealer who ripped em off.

 

[Soccertrendy]

ive never injected myself ever , but i have hit my mates. they did the prep tho
one time my mate had made a tool up and was gouching pretty bad so rather than watch him make a totalcunt of it i got him to talk me through it seen the blood spill in and got it right first time lol

 

[stivsmegg]

i know people like that, it has worked for me in the past(to get well for free) but it seems she uses it as a way to be in contact w/you(maybe she even knows how but uses it as a way to get to you, just a thought)but in my case,i was shot up the first few times and by then it was pretty easy to figure out(then again i was 14,with meth, so it seems almost like i was born shooting). also i have gotten people hooked just to get well in the past, i have a LOT of guilt/shame because of it too!
