Starting to get addicted to heroin

[Agent]

So, I´ve been using some heroin for about a week, because I got it for pretty cheap and its also so pure that a match head sized amount of the white powder was enough to get me heroin high(I snort it). That also means it lasts long and I dont need to buy a new gram of heroin every day...
Now I need a little more than a match head thou...

But now I think I´m getting mildly addicted. I´ve been using it now for 3 days without a 24-hour long break in the middle. I have a mild headache now and I feel fatiqued. Im not going to stop today, because I have a test and heroin withdrawal makes your mental functioning clouded. I think I´ll stop tomorrow so.

Do you think I can beat the addiction without clinics, substitute substances etc.? I think yes, because this is just a beginning of the addiction. Withdrawals will probably be just headache, clouded mental functioning, fatigue and probably some mild nausea. What do you think?

And please, dont tell me about the dangers of heroin. I know its one of the worst drugs you can use.

[Atonement]

Can it be done without outside help? Sure. But good luck. The biggest things for addicts is support and help. Now, no clinic, no support group, no help... doubt you'll succeed.

Stop ASAP. Do everything possible.

Major withdrawal symptoms peak between 48 and 72 hours after the last dose and subside after about a week. Sudden withdrawal by heavily dependent users who are in poor health can be fatal.

Symptoms:
Restlessness

Insomnia

Diarrhea

Vomiting

Cold flashes with goose bumps

Kicking movements

Muscle and bone pain

Now, you're not a heavy user at this point. So, not gonna be fatal. But, be careful. If you start vomitting, getting light-headed etc, go to a doctor or a nurse etc. to make sure nothing worse can happen. But, you will go through a rough week. I suggest you commit. You don't want to go through some of it, then quit, then have to go through it again.

Drugs are disgusting, and vile. Quit ASAP while you can. The chances of you quitting on your own are improbable. It was hard to quit weed but and I had help. Seriously take ^ advice. Its good. But quit.. AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!

[Curtis Before Life]

You could start taking significantly smaller doses until you feel like you can quit.

[clone]

think about the yearly cash loss then it adds up it may be tough to get through but don't give up

[Agent]

I usually take 2 doses a day, but now I take just one dose which is also smaller than before. Thats a good start, right?

[Curtis Before Life]

Thats a great start. The less the better.

Guys, I think that sometimes if someone want to try something just let him/her try, maybe they'll go well' maybe they'll learn something that'd change their lifes.

Recommendation: Stop

Out of all the drugs out there, heroin is definitely one of the ones I would classify as a "monster". It's the most abused opiate out there, and it's highly addictive. If you don't want to seek professional help, then you need to just plain get rid of your stash and exercise enough self control to not get more. If you have friends who use, and they know you're using, let them know you're stopping. That way, if you ask them for some they'll know to say, "No, you quit, remember?"

Good for you, for wanting to quit. I call this drug a monster for a reason, and even if you're not using as much as you could be... it's still going to take some effort to kick the habit.

Stepping down on the dosage is a good step, but remember that this isn't like cigarettes. With those, you can gradually back down until you don't need them anymore. You keep at the lower dose of nicotine until your body adjusts, then step down again, and so on. With heroin, you may be less likely to get adjusted to the lower dose to where your body will be ok with stepping down. Your body may just keep telling you that it wants more. Whatever you do with what you have left, I can't stop you. I would advise you to not buy any more, though, at the least.

I know I don't need to list off the dangers of heroin to you, but I will say that if you need more inspiration along the way go ahead and google images for "heroin addicts". A few good pics there.

Best of luck, please keep us posted. :)

your an idiot stop with these powerful drugs ... there BAD .. but not pot

FUCK off dude, someone's asking for help you don't just call them an idiot.

I'm sure i sent a messege to you OP, but if you didn't get it:
I'm an addict too, and been trying to stay clean also, and i understand how hard it is. Withdrawl is a bitch when your trying to quit also.
I don't classify myself clean since i'm using other opiates now to abuse, but if you want to know the best way to get clean off heroin is trying to get a perscription for methadone. It really helps stop the side effects when your withdrawling. Trust me, you would need it. And if you do end up going to one of those treatment centers thats what a good doctor would give you.
But speaking from an addict, withdrawl from heroin is horrible, i had times where i felt like i couldn't walk, my back was about to snap in half, other crazy stuff.

Insulting members will not be tolerated, if you don't have something useful to say, do not post. Continue to do so, and you will be punished.

oh sorry ... keep going buddy your smart heroin is cool .. ill try it too, is that smart ??? if it is please go ahead and explain .,, if you cant then shut up .,.

[Kaleidoscope Eyes]

There is no need for that kind of talk. If you read the post, this kid is trying to quit, he's not saying that heroin is "cool".

You already made one insulting post in this thread, which was deleted. What makes you think it's ok to post another? Please refrain from insulting members, and keep your responses a little more relevant please.

[tyler_52]

sorry i was just exagerating.. i wasnt promoting drugs

[Kaleidoscope Eyes]

No, I got the sarcasm. It wasn't about promoting drugs, it was about being insulting to Agent. You can PM me if you like, but I think we'll stop discussing it in this thread though, and leave it to discussion about the actual question.

Listen, fella. I know I wasnt smart when I started doing heroin and I regret it. But once in a while everyone fucks up something, even you.

[Biolink]

I was addicted to OC's and it was hell.

The best way to do it, is to ween yourself off of it. Take smaller doses, so you won't go through all of those withdrawal systems


That's what they usually do to people that are addicted to opiates anyways in drug clinics(The drug they prescribe you is usually methadone).

Opiates are probably tougher than any other drug to quit. Good luck

[jinzo22]

You say you've been using for a week? Well, you're not addicted yet. And the best thing you can possibly do is just stop now before you find out the true meaning of addiction. It's not fun.

[Agent]

I arent addicted! I have been without a single dose of heroin for over 3 days and I feel no withdrawal symptoms.

[zgrazier]
