You used to be A decent poster...

Maybe the heroin has done something to your brain....

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.

So you send out an IV drug user with a PICC line? What could possibly go wrong?

My thoughts exactly.. I had a pill addiction but never did it cross my mind to shoot up or snort anything.

This is sad. As others have said- why even try it once? Oh, it's makes you feel better than you have ever felt in your life? I'm good, thanks. Some people are born with addictive tendencies and just can't say "no" to that stuff.

Most of them become addicted to opoid pain killers first.

Honestly people who are ignorant about addiction and drugs are more intolerable and less understandable to me than users and addicts are.

That old boy just needs to be put down.

This was my issue.

I got hit head on by some a-hole drunk driver out at LSU when I was younger. Was prescribed pain pills legally for the longest, a few years. Then, my doctor saw I was getting addicted to them, which I was. Before, he would write me more, this time, he cut me off and said he could no longer keep giving me any more.

He gave me enough for 2 more weeks, then, I was on my own. With a fricked up back from the wreck, and now starting to detox, my choices were sit at home and detox and risk losing my job, or go to where I knew where to get some pills from (back then oxycontin). Instead of being smart and talking with my employer about the situation, I panicked bc of the way addiction is viewed. So, I went and started getting dope. Oxycontin changed to roxy's when they changed up the OC's, then eventually, roxy's changed to H.

Now, looking back, there's a million things I would have done different. Now, I've learned to manage my pain better and working out helps a lot.

One of the biggest problems in America, is how we view addiction. We shun people who are addicts, which is usually caused by depression or some mental illness and isolation is the worst thing for an addict.

Also, we need a national database to hold doctors and patients more accountable. I knew dirty doctors who would writw B S scripts, and I knew patients who would doctor shop.

A lot needs to be done, but most of all, we need to quit isolating addicts. It's why people don't seek help, bc of how our society, overall, views them.

I've been thinking about getting addicted to something. What does this hobby cost, it you're doing it right?

My company does not drug test.
