re: NSFW... This is for all the herion users

I used H for years. Not proud of it at all (my use) but I never shot up.

The reason is bc of what you said, once you start with a needle, it makes your chances of recovery that much more difficult.

I had a good friend I grew up with turn to the needle. He was the one no one would expect to be a user. He looked at me with tears in his eyes one day when we were getting loaded and told me never to get on the needle.

2 weeks later he died. I think that's where his tears were coming from. He knew deep down where he was headed and didn't want to see me do the same thing. I often think he OD'd on purpose. He was never that serious about anything, never cried in front of me, until he told me that, as he was shooting up himself.

I think to this day he's the reason I never switched to the needle.

The danger of H is very real, especially with fentanyl now days. I wouldn't wish addiction on my worst enemy and I sincerely mean that.

I fought like hell to get sober. Most addicts are too beat up to do what's necessary to beat addiction, and subsequently, succumb to it. One way or another.
