What does heroin feel like?

^I have the same experience, oxy has no legs at all. It's a 3 hour high for me then I'm sober, dissappointed and a left with a feeling I wasted my money and should just have gotten heroin instead. Oxycodone is also too "speedy" for my taste, if that makes sense.

That's what I loved about it. All the benefits of opiates plus the euphoria of a stimulant. I've found IV usage to have the shortest duration of high. Then again, it certainly does hit you harder.
 
Heroin is like almost all other opiates: a fuzzy, warm blanket of comfort.

In my experience with opiates I find it to be very high up there, second only to hydromorphone, which is like a electrifying, fuzzy warm blanket of comfort

IV oxy is very short-lived, but IV heroin, at least IME, lasts way longer.
 
Ive only read the first page of this thread so sorry if its already been repeated.

Heroin is boring. Im an addict, in "recovery", ive been on methadone since Feb but xanax is becoming my replacement addiction. I used to still sneak a shot every night, but i really want this monkey off my back so ive been taking xanax to curb craving and WD at nite time. I can go up to three days w out using before i cave, which i am proud of, despite the reason being that i dont fix is because im too benzoed out to work the lighter and end up falling asleep. anywayyyy...

I first did H in 2005. I snorted it and it was like every one said, dreamy, relaxing and numbs any worries. Only did a few more times until i quit hangin out with the dude who was the addict. I didnt know what bein sick was back then, but he was always sick and stoked whenever we kicked kt cos i had a car and cash to buy dope. Never became addicted but loved it, felt like my vicodins times 1000. And i had lots of pain pills around from a full spine surgery i had.

Fast forward to 2008 and i start doing oxys, then it comes up in casual convo w a coworker who suggests we try heroin together. He was already an addict looking for a noob to rip off, charging me twice the price so he could keep half for himself secretly. I was more interested in doing coke with him, and we just used the H to come down. Wed do H at night and itd knock me out right until the next morning until like noon, but hed be blowing my phone up at 8am wanting to go buy more. I said dude how can you even get out of bed im still so knocked out from doin dope last nite i dont want to get out of bed. And he said its the thought of getting high that gets me out of bed. I was all warm and cozy while he was over at his house in WDs. A few months later id get what he meant by that, and i wouldnt wake up all after glowy anymore hut anxious sweaty and dialing any mexi i knew had opened up shop already, theyre about their biz and start early!

So it became a casual after work thing, to an every weekend thing, to where it was becoming thr only thing id look forward to after work if i had money. Then we started doing it during work and having our dude meet us at our job and smoke crack and heroin in the parking lot . We worked in the garden section of a home depot like place watering plants so it wasnt uncommon for managers not to see us for awhile because theyd assume we were in the plant jungle watering.

We both lost out jobs and kind of went out seperate ways, but i had introduced my BF to it and now we were strung the fuck out. We sell everything, including a 4 year old Audi my mom had bought me two years prior and bought drugs w all the money. One night we were soooo sick, and our dude came over with a CRUMB of h. He refused to let us smoke it cos he said it be a waste, he said if we wanted it we had to shoot it cos he was giving it to us for free and he was also a user and didnt want it wasted. So that began our disgusting life of shooting.

I get a blood infection and nasty abcess so close under my skin its the size of a pingpong ball and has stretch marks and is turning my arm purple and shades of copper. Finally call a cab to go to er, but not stopping to buy one baloon before . Even thouhh i was an adult the er dr called my mom in alaska and told her if i wouldve waited a day my lower arms wouldve needed to be amputated. She freaked and came down and brought me back to AK after a weeklong hospital stay.

I was clean for a few weeks, then meet some dope connections and the cycle continues. Start turning tricks and robbing people to ward away the WDs. Rarely would i ever get high, i was just constantly running around making sure i was "well." After a few stints in jail, i decide to move to CA, the sole reason the dope being cheaper so i wouldnt have as much BS to do to get high. A trick bought my ticket.

Anyway, same thing happened. Just ran the streets getting high until i had finally suffered enough jail WDs and realized i need to do something, im a worthless excuse of a person. It took awhile but i started by stopping coke and crystal meth, and tried to lessen my heroin use.

I dont know how i ended up writing all this crap, sorry, just wanted to say heroin is not that great. Yeah it chills you out and that initial few second rush is great, but then thats it. Not all its cracked up to be. Good at relaxing you, temporarily numbing your problems, and eventually ruining your life.

^I think that's well said.
Your abscess story reminds me of a time in Denver where a guy I ran with had one on his upper arm. I would plead, plead with him to go to the ER. He'd just do more tar and then start jabbing at the abscess with a knife or rig or whatever. I've never seen anything like what it turned into. Like if someone had a hard zit that covered a small plate size area. Same colors. Blackish, yellow-copper. So, so bad.
Finally he got so sick that he was basically non-responsive. The guy we worked for and myself loaded him into a van and our boss drove him to the ER. He had a massive infection, blood poisoning and they, obviously, had to lance the abscess. Antibiotics like mad and he was out after a bit. Hit the delivery first thing.

I remember that first time getting sick. I'd been told what to expect but I was still thinking, 'What the fuck is this? I feel cold and hot?!' Ah, it gets so much worse. Being back in the East, I really missed the MM delivery service. You're right in that those guys are on the ball. 6AM? "What you need? Where you at?"
Here, I'll blow up phones for a couple hours before I get one of my groggy slingers to answer the fucking phone. At what point do they realize it's a 24 hour addiction? Turn your fuckin phone on!!!

I know you know this but it can't be said enough.... Please be careful with methadone and benzos. I've lost too many people that way.
 
2 seconds after an orgasm feeling--extended.. then slowly after an hour or two dissipates and you are flown into a warm cozy hammock under double quilted blanket.

Don't do H.

I just IV'd for the first time today and I can tell you it's worth it. It has to be. For whatever comes, it just has to be worth that feeling.

Fixed.

Although I've never IV'd so i'm ass talking right now.. pretty sure I'm right tho.
 
If I could take back that first time I shot heroin, I would do it in an instant.
 
I don't get it. Is heroin THAT GOOD that you just apparently cannot go back at all?

I shot hydromorphone. It was awesome. Pure bliss that was like a body-wide orgasm for hours...but I haven't done it in nearly 8 months and I never plan on doing it again. I know I can't do it again, or shoot anything again because it will destroy my fucking life if I let it become the drug controlling me instead of me controlling the drug...so what's the big difference with heroin that just makes it impossible to use in moderation after the first moment you IV it? What's the difference with heroin that all logic and reason goes out the window?

It's a overload for the body and mind. It feels too good. You plant a seed in your head that says, 'I'd kinda like to need that."
Some people lose it right off but it seems like a lot more often the desire to use combined with hubris, a 'I can handle this' type attitude leads to repeated use.
Your body and mind get accustomed to that pleasure overload and eventually it's almost like waking up late, looking at the clock and realizing you're way late for work/school.
It just sort of happens and it's too late.
You realize you're kinda fucked and at that point can make a few different decisions.
You can decide it's too much and set it down and be sick and/or miserable for a few days. Or you can listen to every fiber of your being telling you to keep going.
It's incredibly insidious. People like you that realize right off it's gonna take them down and stop using are few and far between.
With that said, it's nothing personal but I wouldn't be surprised if you somehow end up back at it.
It's not in any way impossible to ditch it. But recidivism is a constant threat cause it's just too damn pleasurable and it's very easy to forget all the negatives that go along with it.

No, I understand completely. I don't know what will happen in the future.

I get the part about the hubris. I actually think that's what helped me maintain control. I actually didn't tell myself "I can handle this". I told myself "I cannot handle this at all and I am playing with fire right now". I think had I told myself I could have handled it I would have gotten swept up in it, my ego thinking itself all powerful.

Really why I was able to realize where that road would take me in the first place is because I had been down there. Not with opiates, but with z-drugs. Zolpidem was my "way late for work/school".

That was before I ever dabbled in opiates, so I had some perspective ahead of time thankfully.

Don't worry, I don't take it personally. I know the nature of these drugs. I mean, even though injecting isn't my thing, I've still gotten close to the edge several times with pills. It's taken me a while to figure out how to do this shit properly...and I can confidently say that kratom has saved me many, many times and allowed me to get back on track and give it another shot. So far on this particular shot I've not fucked up, I enjoy opiates in moderation and after three years I feel confident that I've got a schedule that I can hold now, where I can use opiates like one would use alcohol.

It's really unfortunate how they consume some people's lives though. It really pains me to see where some people end up. Such is the nature of the poppy, I guess. Simultaneously the greatest and the worst thing in the world.

Well said

I especially liked the "I'd kinda like to need that" part. That sounds like what my brain said from day one....many many moons ago.

And truer words were never spoken about just how easy it is to forget the negatives. When I have some clean time my brain loves to remind me of the warm fuzzy feeling part.

However, it *never* seems to recall the waking up sick, the being broke, the selling of your stuff at "bargain" prices just to make it through the day, or the loss of your very spirit. As well as numerous other bad endings, far too many to delve in here...

Its not really that its such a great drug youre hooked after your first shot. Its that its such a great drug you keep seeking it out more frequently, and go from casual user/weekend warrior to every other day then eventually every day and before you know it, youre physically dependent. And youre not seeking out that great high anymore, youre just trying to keep that WD as far away as possible. And thats what life becomes, a cycle of just trying to keep well.
 
it is a feeling of pure bliss and warmth and euphoria its the most amazing high imo but withdrawals are just hell

I know obviously that you can't get hooked/dependent on your first shot, or even your second or third or fourth...what I mean is that people obviously know what happens with heroin. Anyone who hasn't been living under a rock can see that most people end up dependent.

What confuses me is that, with the knowledge of how possible it is to become dependent and addicted...with the knowledge that so many have gone from weekends, to every other day, to every day and ended up in the position you so speak of...they continue to do it. They have so many chances to stop, so many times before dependence even sets in to any serious degree and yet they keep going.

So then it MUST be THAT GOOD, right? If it's worth going against all logic and reason?
 
It feels paradisiac. But ive yet to meet someone who can use it occasionaly...... sadly as with mosty opiates you end up dependt no matter what. And they all go from snorting to smoking to IV'ing. If you are askiong this because you wanna try it, dont. Yes it feels great but its not worth the damage it can do. Especially if you have an addictive personality.

I use H occasionally and it's very sporadic (at least for now).. and it's at my fingertips and I have the money.

I think the trick is I only sniff H. I know IVing would feel too good to not need to feel like that 24/7.

As for sniffing high quality no-burn H #4... honestly, for me, 400mg tramadol + benzos feels better.. better nods too, nods I don't fall asleep on. Even if I do enough H to get almost-nauseous... there are better high's and combos.
