It's a well accepted fact that a heroin habit will ruin your life. I can't recall hearing a story about heroin that wasn't a total downer. Nobody enjoys heroin in moderation....right?
So is my experience some sort of statistical anomaly? Allow me:
For about 6 months now, I snort a gram of heroin on a weekly basis, over the course of 2/3 days. I love it. I no longer need to inhale a fifth of vodka to cope with my existential crisis. Pretty much all measures of my life have improved since I replaced binge drinking with casual heroin use.
My withdrawals are very light. Kratom helps. It is NOTHING compared to a 3 day booze bender.
Don't get me wrong - I've developed a full on psychological addiction. I'm always looking forward to the day my pack arrives. Days without heroin are very whatever. But my life isn't falling apart. I'm happier now. My tolerance isn't growing at an alarming rate. I'll have to stop one day and deal with my shit, but until then, it just kind of sucks that I can't tell my loved ones about a big part of my life because of the stigma.
I know that hardened heroin users are going to call me out for being naive. But does anybody else enjoy moderate, casual, responsible heroin use over a prolonged period of time? Or am I 1 month away from blowing dudes to get my fix?
TL,DR: I like heroin and it's not ruining my life. Please don't do heroin though, it's bad.
