its like an itch I wanna scratch before it's like I'm 50 years old n I'm thinkin...shit i shoulda tried that shit in my 20s like I was gonna!
Scratch that itch even once and you will crave that itch for the rest of your life. I won't lie to you, it doesn't happen to everyone. But its very possible and also very likely.
I won't just say NOO DONT DO IT ITS BAD! I will try to go in to at least a little detail..
Heroin is pretty similar to oxy, so if you already do that and get a script for it, stick with it. Moving to heroin and if you start snorting or shooting it your tolerance will start to rise greatly. Maybe not the first month, or the second, or hell, maybe not the 1st year...you may not notice too many ill-side effects. But sooner or later you are going to realize you don't want to stop, then when you WANT to you CANT stop. Your mental addiction by then will be pretty severe and the physical withdrawals will be PURE hell. Think of the worst flu of your life then go ahead and multiply that by 1000. Once you do that, you ALMOST know how opiate WD's feel.
Its just not worth it with all the risks involved. We all once said "i smoke weed, ill never do oxycontin!" then a couple months later its "okay so what I snort a few oxys on the weekends no big deal" another couple months go by..."i switched to heroin, but only because its cheaper for the same high...its not like im shooting it or anything!" then a few WEEKS later its "i shoot up every day now, but only because its the most cost effective way"
Point being, its impossible for 95% of us humans to set limits and stick with them on a drug like heroin. Eventually given enough time you will turn into a person you no longer recognize. You will do things you never thought you were even capable of. All in the name of "1 shot of dope just to get well!"
And I'm not just saying all this, I won't be like some ppl, ill be honest, SOME people can handle using occasionally. But most of us cant. I don't think any of us addicts here will tell you its worth trying and figuring it out. Its simply NOT WORTH THE RISK! Sure, I love the rush, its great! But I let it destroy my life and take everything I held near and dear. I used to say it took everything but its not true. I LET it since I took the drugs. Only one person is at fault and thats the abuser.
