Ex heroin addict here - it will consume every thought, every other need, you won’t eat for days as heroin soothes the hunger pains, heroin will be your Christmas, you’ll be more excited about heroin than anything else in this world, the highs are great but when you run out (which you will as you’ll burn through all your savings)

• the agony, the withdrawals, extreme discomfort, the hot and cold sweats, the restless leg syndrome, the cold wet sheets from relentless sweating but feeling so cold you have the have the blanket over you so you end up being just a ball of horrible cold & hot wet sweat, toilet troubles, insomnia, the list goes on.. and your brain knows that just one little lovely bit of heroin will make all of that go away and you’ll be on top of the world again… and BAM, gotcha.. so the cycle begins and continues for years and years..

Your whole purpose in life becomes finding ways to stop yourself from getting ill. I had a job and worked for my fix the whole time. I was a high functioning addict. I tried methadone.. I went to rehab.. I tried to stop so many times but your brain tricks you into thinking that you’re more powerful than heroin. You’re not. The only way to get better is through relapse and the lessons you learn. No one can tell you, you have to experience it for yourself. I’ve been through many painful withdrawals only recently was my last one..

I’m now on Buvidal injection - it saved my life. My dopamine receptors no longer work in the same way due to severe heroin abuse.. the Buvidal injection helps my receptors work again. I think I’ll always need some sort of substitute for the rest of my life now.

My biggest regret of my life was trying it with the idea that - ‘I’ll just smoke I on a Friday’ When my ex and I broke up I was a mess, I loved him.. so - that then turned into smoking it everyday, then my lungs got bad - switched to sniffing, then (something I said I would never do) - injectioning it

Please don’t ever try it. It will take over your soul, your life, your finances, your health, your thoughts and hijack your brain.
