I really don't feel like heroin's affected me detrimentally besides the Hep C and all the damn tracks...When I'm on a good hit, I'm actually happy and I get into this mode of work like I'll do whatever job I have to no matter how strenuous. It's like I have superhuman strength...or if I'm at home I get into the cleaning the house mood and crank up the tunage while I sweep, mop, take out the trash...even dusting for chrissakes!! Methadone or subs just don't give me the same feelin'....it's only when I can't get dope or funds for dope that I feel like an old fart....back hurts, feel like I've been run over by a train...no motivation at all....I really wish they would implement a prescription heroin program like they've done in England. The powers -that-be here need to get their heads outta their asses and have an open mind while checking the stats over there as to the positive results a program like that has accomplished like a lower crime rate or whatever...
