How many former iv drug users on here

Curious to know about some experiences of people that got off the needle. I know from my time in La that it seemed there was a high percentage of drug users that were pretty hard with it. Heroin was plentiful and stout as hell. probably still is
Its not something many people seem to like to talk about openly tho. I guess because of the stigma most seem to carry that iv drug users are the lowest life form in the world of drug use. I think crack users are way worse, but just my opinion

a couple of years back there was a thread similar to this...quite a few folks spoke up and told some interesting stories...

I know a couple of guys who were into needles for a while. One is in jail and the other is on a prescription maintenance dose for, I assume, life. I even watched them do it a couple of times. Really disturbing, like I was watching them sign their souls away.

I've never even seen heroin, and I certainly couldn't stomach to see IV use. Not judging, I just don't have the stomach for it.
Hardest I've ever seen fools get was watching some clean cut people get geeked, smoking meth out of light bulbs and off of foil. I like to sleep so I passed.

The "stigma" is the last thing that they need to worry about. Shooting up shite that can end their lives is what they need to worry about.

Pretty sure no one I know has ever tried heroin.

I've used my share and more over the years and I've kicked more than a couple of hardcore habits but I managed to stay away from the needle, aside from a few week-long hospital stays and some great IV Dilaudid, for two reasons...
1. The thought of needles makes me want to puke.
2. I always knew that if I ever tried it, there'd be no going back. Once you're on the needle, any drug you do is going in the rig.

One of my younger brothers is a junkie - track marks on his lower arms. Not a junkie in the traditional sense, but a junkie nonetheless. It's a very sad state of affairs for him and my folks are not helping the situation at all by allowing him to stay there as they are defacto enablers.
It's unfortunate as well because they really think "love" will cure his ills and it has been proven time and time again that drugs>love or family.
And for the record, my family is affluent, lives in a great house and neighborhood, private schooled, parents married 44 years,etc so that just goes to show you that it happens in all segments of society.
If you have a problem, I hope you get the help you need![](https://images.tigerdroppings.com/Images/Icons/Iconcheers.gif)

The people I know who mainlined aren't the smartest tools in the shed. There is a bad spirit about it that hooks people.
I've made some mistakes in my life but I'd never ever go so low as to shove a needle in my arm. I can't even fathom that.

I hate needles. No way could I ever inject myself with anything. I hope like hell I never become diabetic.

I've shot up heroin twice and Roxys once. I'm the only one I've met who can dabble in heroin without it ruining my life. I rule

Most people I found out that were iv users, were shooting up oxy. its crazy because i had no idea they were that bad on it until they just disappeared for a while and then came back from rehab.

Not the lowest.
Clearly among the weakest, though.

I've been clean for 19 years this October. I've done just about every drug known to man. Shaking the needle is the worst. You're not just strung out on your drug of choice. The process of shooting up is just as addictive in some ways. There were days where I would shoot ice water just to feel the needle while I was waiting on a fix.

I was in a car with two friends in dental school who smoked weed once - does that count? One friend went to rehab for crack. He smoked crack once and swore he'd never do it again. Then he did it again. The dental school had an advisor, so he went and talked to him about getting help. It was mostly prescription drugs and weed. They allowed him to do an outpatient program. He was kind of pissed that they made him give up everything, including beer. He didn't know that would be part of the deal and it might have changed his mind about getting help if he knew going in. He told me that pretty much any time we hung out, he was doing prescription narcotics. I never had a clue. He never seemed high, and wasn't a heavy drinker when we went out.
