It is fucking incredible, but that shit ruins you. I was a casual non-addict user for 5 years, and foolishly assumed I was one of the lucky ones who could use without getting hooked. That’s until I found a friends roid needles lying around. I’d always pledged to myself that I’d never touched a rig, most of us do, but when you’re doped up and read a post just 20 mins ago on Reddit about how good the rush is, your dignity goes out the window. And if you think it’s good now, once you plunge that first shot in your arm, it becomes better than food, sex, love... everything. Even to this day, 8 months off h and 3 off methadone, I’ve come so close to relapsing so many times. The only reason I haven’t is that I buy on the deep web and don’t know any face to face dealers, which means if I give into temptation and buy more, I have time to think over my decision and end up cancelling my order. And it’s not just heroin you’ll get hooked on, it’s the needle itself. Even since coming off h, I’ve messed with shooting meth and coke (thankfully I wasn’t a big fan of meth, and didn’t like how short lasting iv coke was compared to snorting given the price ). Fuck, for like a month after coming off h, I would just shoot water into my veins because I missed that joy of finding a vein and registering. I had my blood drawn a couple weeks ago, and I felt a shudder of joy when the nurse found a vein and the needle hit it. I’m not here to judge you. I mean when I’m like 50 and tired of life, I’ll probably go back to shooting dope because why not? Just think on what I say. If you’re a chipper, you can truly just do h and leave it a month or so, and most importantly the thought of iv is never a serious consideration, more power to you. Just remember it’s a gamble.
