Heroin/Opiates - tell your story
| I know the epidemic is fucking nuts in Ohio...
| >>306009
Oh hey.
Also from Ohio.
Parents are heroin addicts my uncle pushed it on them when we couldn't afford their medication and rent. Father is blind from diabetes and my mother has a slipped disc. Neither can work and together get 2300 a month to live on. Heroin was cheaper than 1000 dollars of meds.
Then wasn't.
| Living in central Europe!
Took a bunch of it when I was younger, got addicted pretty fast without realising and stopped with a cold turkey.
It's just so nice and warm and everything is ok and it's the best feeling you will ever have (better than holding your first born child). And you can have it whenever you want to have it. And before you realise you have a tolerance and an addiction.
It's basically like playing with fire. Fun but dangerous.
| >>306054 I think he means the price... so now they put a dash of fentanyl to stretch it. Or was it two dashes... whatever, it's the good shit, you know you want it.
| >>306034 interesting. I've never had a child, but I hear they smell nice.
I don't have an addictive personality, sounds like you are the same, can decide to quit and then do it, but I have no doubt it feels amazing. I watched Requiem for a Dream a long time ago, and if that doesn't get to you, I don't know what will. I have been in the drug scene, but never in THAT drug scene. Very separate world I think. I'm in PA(USA) and luckily my area is not as bad as some (Ohio, Midwest).
| Also read about Layne Staley (Alice in Chains) and the Seattle grunge scene (Kurt Cobain etc). He (Layne) basically gave up after awhile and spent the last 5 years of his life alone and just wasted away. It (heroin) really destroyed a lot of people, and the people it didn't are left to tell others about watching it destroy people (their friends, family, idols etc).
| Spent 2 years on morphine, only taken heroin once. I felt better on it than i do now, it was just a coping mechanism to numb me to the world though.
| >>307733 so would you say you had a lot of problems/pain that needed to be numbed, or did you perceive the pain to justify the need? When you say you felt better on than off, do you mean how you felt physically, i.e. I feel good right now, or that your life was actually better? I would imagine bad outweighs the good overall, no?

| I admit, have only every tried opiates once and hated it. Also was in the hospital for two weeks on Dilaudid and Morphine, but stopped taking the oxycodone a few days after getting home. Have never seen heroin or personally known a user (or opiates, that I know of). Yet this is killing people, and it has for many years. Step up and let's talk about it, this is the internet, no one will judge you here (jk ofc but the thread is serious).
