And that said gas staion is also secretly a meth lab.

Please listen 2 what everyone is saying. I've never looked back and I'll tell u this.

Quit now and u probably won't even have withdrawl.
Or keep going and ull be doing it 4x a day and here's the kicker. You won't even be doing it 2 get high. It'll be 2 not get sick.

Quit while ur ahead or your gonna kick ur self. A LOT.
If u do end up in wd or depressed or whatever. Pm me or head over to TDS
Best of luck in whatever you choose 2 do.....
 
23 out of 23 say back away. You should take that advice seriously. I'm 23 and have been using opiates (mostly heroin) off and on for the past 10 years. I'm a very rare exception, in that I've set and (mostly) followed two rules: no mixing – especially with benzos and quit once my tolerance becomes too high. Originally I had a rule to never use when I was unhappy, as a form of escapism... but fuck that.

Anyway, your dosages are increasing way too quickly. I don't think it's awful that you use morning and night –that's just what happens. But you're about to get to the point where you use to function - not get high. Quit now. Or at least take a tolerance break.

Tapering is extremely effective if you're worried about not being able to handle withdrawals.

I think you realize where you're at or you wouldn't be posting. The first few days will be bad, but take the advice that other people have given. Everything will be all right. Good luck.

WOOOW!!!...you almost make me cry with that:)
like everyone else said, quit now, or be prepared to live in hell...i'm 22 and i quit 2 months ago,i relapsed once, 3 weeks later, now im clean for about 2 weeks...lets see for how long... and i am just a 6 month addict.
GOOD LUCK and be careful...
Cheers from Portugal;)
 
You already know the answer... Please stop Now! Erase all the numbers of those connections and run the other way if you can.... She is an unforgivable mistress and will take everything from you... Even if you can afford the financial loss, your brain never recovers from her grip... I haven't shot dope in years and still crave it almost daily... I physically moved to another town to escape my habit... Once you get hooked, it's over... You are an addict first and everything else second... It is no way to live, Trust Us!
 
You're getting a dice rolling it with your life each time. Seriously I've been on methadone/h/oc IV for 4-5 years and it;s costed a WHOOOPING £35,000 roughly. It's not worth it, you'll end up on the needle if not all ready. Heroin is a contract thing, as you take it you sign up to a lifestyle, you change - lie, cheat you'll one day feel wd's bad - you might wind up on Methadone/subutex for years struggling and 5-10 years you're body is sooo used to it. I've tried my best lately to stop it and stay on stubs, no veins/blown money. Heroin is a life replacement drug.

Some people will chip it, they learn. For some they can get it just here and there so it's hard for addiction.
 
i think the moderators have identified the most critical issue- psychological addiction (craving). i had a co-worker ask me once if i thought she had a drinking problem; she liked to go home after work with a six-pack, listen to music and hang with her family. she was concerned that a six-pack was too much to drink every night, but i suggested that it might not be how much she drank but what role it played in her life. did she have to have it to function? could she enjoy her time without it? did it affect her life? i had another co-worker that came in pretty schnookered before work and it only got worse as the night (or day) went on. clearly that girl had a problem with sauce.

is alcohol a different flavor of beast when compared to diesel? chemically, sure, and imo i am far more self-destructive when i drink compared to when i'm strung out, but here's the rub: both have a psychological effect on me that results in harmful behavior as recreational use becomes dependency. i am craving that drug; i need that drug. something you should consider too, mustang, is that your bags may vary in strength/potency. 3-4 bags might kill you next week. to answer your question- yes, you're playing with fire. it's heroin. i always know in my heart of hearts when i'm bullshitting. do you? be safe, take care.
 
like everyone else has said, now is the time to stop. You are sitting at the precipice of an addiction that isn't a friendly one. Quit now. You will experience WDs but if you don't stop now, they will be much worse further down the road. you will still crave heroin long after you have stopped, especially if you IV, but you have to remember that succumbing to cravings is just getting you one step closer to addiction. you are already psychologically addicted to a very mild extent, do yourself a favor and stop before it becomes the center of your life.

good luck man, i hope the best for you.

Hello,
Recently i started using heroin (sniffed) the first time i did it a couple months ago i did way to much and got very sick, it took a couple months for me to try it again and noticed i needed an entire bag to get where i wanted to be so i did one in the morning and 1 at night. The next day i had to do 2 bags, then 1 with some xanax to get high. I took a day off did some more now its taking 3-4 bags to get high...why does tolerance raise so high? Also this morning and yesterday i woke up with huge head aches and wanted some dope. Is this a sign of psychological addiction? I've been doing it 5-6 days out of the past like 7. Am i playing with fire?

dependence: tolerance, withdrawal, substance taken in larger amounts or over a longer period of time than intended, persistent desire or unsuccessful efforts to cut down or control abuse, spending alot of time in activities necessary to obtain the substance, social, work, recreational activities are given up for use of substance....knowing all this and still using is dependence.

addiction: compulsively using despite negative consequences to your personal and professional life, inability to stop, until eventually the addict becomes bankrupted of family relationships, socialization, interpersonal relationships, economic devestation, and their poor spirit is broken and/or dead.

this is all i can add..
the rest has been said..
heroin and what happens when you play with it..
c'mon..you already know.

I did it a few more times after i made this thread but did not snort any yesterday and am trying not to buy any today..i wanna so badly but i must be strong :)
 
I highly suggest you stop now while you still can. I began using opioids very young (15, but only codeine). I didn't start heroin until I was about 18 and at first I snorted it. The first two weeks I used it I would use it every 3 days or so. However, by the third week it quickly began to spin out of control. I began using it almost daily. I kept telling myself this is "just for now", so I kept using it. I snorted heroin for almost 2 years but I got to a place where it was becoming really expensive snorting it and I just couldn't fit so much powder in my nose anymore (my tolerance after nearly two years of frequent use was obviously high). So just before my 21st birthday I began to shoot heroin. After that everything went downhill. On top of the heroin I was using various prescription opioids, especially morphine and hydrocodone. I was also using massive amounts of benzodiazepines of all kinds - I wasn't picky at the time I just did whatever benzo came my way. I was using cocaine, alcohol, Adderall, Fioricets, Dexedrine, MDMA (at the time I was both using it and selling it to help support my heroin habit) and just about everything under the sun - anything to alter my state of mind. I was super addicted to everything, but my DOC was heroin. I managed to get through a 4 year medical laboratory science program (I don't even know how, but I did it). After that though I didn't even pay my student loan back, didn't look for a job in my field and continued on with heavy drug use. I even ended up on the streets homeless after I had broken all bridges with family and aunts/uncles, etc. I literally used to walk the streets day and night doing the same thing everyday - in the morning I'm trying to pull scams or steal or do anything to get some cash, when that is done I go to the dealer and buy dope, shoot up and go out in search of more money. The cycle didn't end. I did that for almost a year until I called my aunt one night balling my eyes out because I was so strung out, hungry and scared. She took me in. I used to get the shit beat out of me regularly because I was a little smaller blond white boy on the streets of one of the blackest cities in all of America so people robbed me, mugged me, just all kinds of shit I went through.

To make a long story short, chasing that heroin high brought nothing but misery to me. I'm now 28 and on methadone. I don't really use street drugs anymore (I cheat sometimes with crystal and by buying unscripted benzos or order them online) but that's it. I am scripted Xanax and Dexedrine along with fentanyl patch. Doing much better than I was just even 2 years ago.

I also began doing what I love. I studied toxicology a lot while doing the med lab science program and I was very interested in venomous reptiles. So I do that now. I write articles for an encyclopedia (not wikipedia) that is only open to those with a bachelors degree and above. So I write articles on all kinds of different species of snakes, snake venom and its composition, lethality, molecular weight, etc. I also collect venomous snakes. So this is a hobby for me. I love it and it makes me happy. So find what you love in life and start focusing more on that.

mustang-yeah u need to do everything in your power to stop using right now..the mild withdrawals u are experiencing now are NOTHING compared to what lies ahead when you start IVing larger amounts(and u will trust me)..the withdrawals are terrible once u get a strong addiction/dependence to it..

stay busy, find different friends...once that mental craving gets etched into your head its hard to break free from it..

You dont seem to have listened to anyone, :\seeing as how you are just carrying on. Yes everyone knows it's hard to fight the cravings, but the longer you leave it the harder it will be. Do you want to be a full-blown addict ? (If you quit now you'll likely only have a couple of days very mild withdrawl), but if you carry on much longer everything will get much harder and much worse. Not saying any more, as there's no point when people dont listen.

EDIT, very sorry i only just noticed you said you didnt do any yesterday, well that's great. How did you feel ? If you keep going today and tomorrow you'll be well on your way to escaping it's physical hold on you. The psychological aspect may require some work, or it may not if you are lucky.

Heroin, the bane of my existence. Please listen to everyone. It's not a cool drug by any means. Yeah it's bomb I'm not gonna lie but it's not worth it bro. I'm going on two years of having to do it everyday just to fucking function. I hate it. Please stop before its to late. Your life will be much better TRUST us everyone on this board is here to help you not ruin your fun.
 
Recreational use once in a Blue Moon while might not be so bad but as you have stated you are needing more and more to get high and it just keeps growing. Listen to the people in this thread and stop now while you can! Constant and sometimes even minimal use of H only leads to your life being totally destructed. You become a slave to the drug and then life becomes pure Hell. It got to the point where I couldn't ever do enough to achieve the high I originally got and loved. It was total madness and then if and when you do become addicted to it you need so much everyday so you can just go through the day without Chills, Vomiting, (Sorry about the next line but it's true) Pissing out your ass and feeling you are going to die and sometimes wishing you did. OMG! Opiate addiction is PURE HELL! And then there are times the dope is crap and you are doing more than ever and then out of nowhere comes some incredibly pure H and you OD! One last time! Please listen to the good people in the forum and stop while you can...
 
get out while you still can. you are already getting physically addicted to it (hence the headache) it's called withdrawals.

basically you are just going to need more and more and more, as you are already experiencing which just makes it more and more expensive to get high each time, then you will spend all your money and be broke as fuck and cant get high or buy food or pay rent, and then you're gonna get sick as fuck from W/Ds and you'll regret spending all your money on dope but you'll still want more dope and you might do good for a while but then eventually you'll be like oh I can go get a price break if i get a gram and then you have like your 160 or 200 dollars and you feel good then you go spend it on the gram and you feel for for a day or so, then you are fucked the next day. and the cycle repeats.

you have been worned, get your ass away from this shit.

No way, man. Heroin is just one of those drugs... very difficult to become physically dependent upon heroin and even more difficult to become mentally addicted to it. When physical dependency does occur, which is rare, of course, heroin is kicked quite easily because the withdrawal symptoms are just so unbelievably mild and just barely noticeable. Yep... heroin is nothing for you to worry about. It's cannabis, the gateway drug, that you'll want to avoid like the mother fucking plague.
