Heroin and/or Meth users. How do you manage to not go overboard into abusing the drugs to much? I have several friends that are completely fucked on it and I'm wondering how did you not totally lose yourself?

Well for H, with me, it just took time. There was nothing you could have said to stop me when I really wanted it, but after a while, I just grew tired of wasting my money and losing friends, just to mention two of the shitty side effect of opiate addiction. I simply grew out of it with time, and now I can't imagine spending all of my money and free time just to get high. I still like opiates, and I will use them again, but I'll never go back to being completely dependent on them ever again. So basically, I guess I don't really have a good answer for you, I just got sick of the lifestyle and that's what made me go on methadone. Now I use maybe once every 2-3 months.

A ex-friend (yea, ex....cause of this mostly) just OD'd for the umpteenth time off drugs he got off the darknet...One time he od'd twice in one day, pretty much right after the ambulance left, he OD'd again, and they came back, he told me they weren't as nice and understanding the second time...

Anyway, alot of people can't handle it man...and end up spending all their money, and going through shitty withdrawls and making bad decisions like stealing from their family/friends to try and fund their addiction...the problem I see is that the darknet makes this shit so readily available, as long as you have the funds...

He just got in some big trouble though, cause he OD'd again, and when the ambulance see's drugs in plain site, they tend to infrorm police.

edit: almost forgot...how do i not go overboard:....well uhh...i've been doing this for a long time, and i've gone overboard, it just was before I did stuff on the darknet, and I've sorta just grown out of the "get super fucked up everyday! top the rush I got last time!" attitude...it has little to nothing to do with the darknet, and more to do with that, unfortunately the darknet is just an easier supply chain then finding a steady/consistent supply on the streets....and it comes right to your doorstep, so you never have to leave your house again! you can just stay home, get high, and order packs!

Meth - Don't redose ever. Just take the small dose you're going to do and then don't touch it until you're 100% sober again. As long as you aren't redosing, you should be cool.

You don't. Almost everyone who abuses heroin will lose themselves. I've always been a high functioning drug addict. I manage to keep a job, a roof over my head, and I haven't fucked up any family relationships. But then again, my family is pretty fucked up to begin with, so I would have to do something pretty fucking bad.

I was pretty hardcore addicted for close to 8 years. Then I started going to a methadone clinic for about 3 years. Detoxed from that and was clean for 3 years. Then I decided to start doing H again. Just once or twice a month. That was a year ago. Now I use a couple days a week or so. And I feel like shit when I don't. It gives me something to look forward to I guess. But given the resources and a steady supply, I would be a full blown addict again. Or dead. It's fucked up but I know the only thing saving me is a lack of resources.

So, if you haven't tried it, don't. Just don't.

I do it sparingly. I managed to get off H because I hadn't injected myself into a hole, and I don't do meth all that often anymore.

I think Trainspotting 2 is in pre-production right now.

I do a little h here and there (like 2 or 3 times a year). It is something i enjoy just not something i do everyday or even every month. I have a .4 ive had for close to a year and a .5 i grabbed cause the price was right that i did .05 of and it will sit on the shelf for a couple months . I have had problems with controlling meth and coke in the past so i do not ever even touch either substance. If the feeling H gives you or meth gives you feels like something you could love my best advice is dont touch it at all

I do heroin and pain pills occasionally because I don't have access to them. I started using the DNMs so I really have to use self-control, mainly keeping myself busy with school work and my job.

EDIT: And alcohol and weed :)


[1 Points] Sunline_Inc:

Honestly I think allot of it comes down to what type of environment/s an individual has become adept in surviving in that dictates there level of self control in so much as the skills they have developed toward those means.

Theres no special trick to keeping you use in check. Some people can; some people cant. Its as simple as that.


[1 Points] WonkyWarrior:

I found Heroin to be a little underwhelming, sure its nice but not as nice as I thought it would be and I hate feeling itchy to hell.

It's just not something I do very often, iv done it twice in a year now both a few day binges, maybe if I pick up more than a few days worth it would become a problem.


[1 Points] OpiLuvr:

I did lose myself. I'm still lost, as I'm on methadone but still use once or twice a week. If not for the safety net of the methadone, I dread to think where id be now.

I used heroin for exactly a month.

I ordered a gram of DragonCove's #4. I had a few experiences with Vicodin before, but had never done opiates frequently, and never heroin. When I first got it, 15-20mg nasally would have me feeling quite good. I used it every other day or so. I was selling enough weed on the side to afford being unemployed and generally being sedated most of the waking hours. After about 2 weeks of this, I was using daily, but it hadn't really clicked with me what was happening to me. I certainly hadn't realized I was becoming physically dependent. But at the time things still seemed normal and I was still snorting about 20-25mg each time, a little more bored with the highs now. In the third and fourth week, I used heroin like I did pot... whenever I realized I hadn't done it in a while, it was time for another puff/line. I was sleeping much more, but didn't think anything of it. The first hint I had that I was harming myself and becoming addicted was when I snorted a line and went out to eat with friends, and everyone said I looked sick as a dog... When really I was only pale and drowsy because I was on heroin. The last four days of the month, I couldn't use whenever I pleased due to unrelated circumstances. Only for about 6 hours a day was I alone and safe to use (no one knew I had ever taken heroin - very few know to this day.) I started noticing that right as I was about in the clear to use for the night, I felt sick and sore. I was stupid enough not to realize this was withdrawal. I would snort 30-40mg, and not even feel high. Just normal. "Oh well" I thought. I would usually just resort to a joint or a line of coke to compensate.

At the end of the four weeks, the H ran out. I thought about ordering more, but shrugged it off and forgot. Until the next day. I woke up sick as hell. Stiff. Congested. Tired. Sad. This continued and progressed for 3 or 4 days. Restless legs and unable to get a wink of sleep. It was only until my second day in withdrawal that I'd realized what was going on. With no real life connections and no other options, I just went cold turkey. It was difficult, but not nearly as much as other describe (since I had a relatively low tolerance.)

This was many months ago now... I'm considering getting a half gram sometime soon...
