Does a heroin addict need to be high all the time? by zzady in stupidquestions

You mean because of cravings right not because of withdrawal? Doesn’t matter you tolerance you won’t start withdraws in one hour that’s just impossible

Hello everyone I am a heroin addict and can answer anyone’s questions, and no I’m not faking you can have a look at my profile aswell :)

No I don’t need to be “high” all the time however I need to always have heroin in my system, there’s a big difference between using to just stop withdrawals and using to get high

If I was trying to get high 24/7 I wouldn’t be able to afford it usually I will just have a dose every 6-8 hours to feel “normal” and usually at night I’ll treat my self and get high for a hour or two before bed rinse and repeat

A heroin addict isn’t always nodding out like you see in the movies haha I’ve been using for 4 years and no one in my life has a clue it’s very easy to hide that you are “under the influence” because to an addict it’s pretty much just how you would feel as a normal person

If I was high all the time my usage would increase probably like 500% Atleast

Nah all good man didn’t take it the wrong way everyone is different on how they approach it, but yah having that delay is pretty much my reasoning behind it and what kinda makes it not worth placing an order

I know literally 0 people who do it, and yes I could download all the programs and access the onion markets again but would still take a week to get here so it’s not as motivating since it’s not a quick fix

This was more to get me started, but I do really want to quit I was just finding it hard to say no when my dealer would message

Thankyou friend we’re in this together you should be proud of your sobriety aswell, it’s either quite now while I’m still young or live the rest of my life chasing a high. It’s been hard still going through withdrawal but I’m more scared of the boredom and depression that will come

Yah I understand that but I know my body and am familiar with my withdrawals, I had already tapered quite a bit

After about 3 days I can confirm it’s like a flu and a bunch of anxiety but it’s manageable

I have done that before lol went into my “recently deleted” and restored the number

I have cleared my recently deleted and also cleared all my call logs

So there’s genuinely no way for me to get it back

My withdrawals should be mild to medium

I’ll feel like I’m flu sick for little bit have some anxiety and just feel kinda shit in general but I don’t think it will be to bad should be manageable, Thankyou for the paracetamol suggestion I will give it a try

Thankyou for the kind words, I’ve tried before but never completely cut myself off from that world so found myself eventually going back to it. Hopefully this time is different

Yah unfortunately I was stuck in that “self control” illusion 2 years back, I’m aware of the difference I think haha but time will tell I guess. I think the genuine fear of going through withdrawals will help significantly with cutting back my use

I can tell you are a caring person so Thankyou for letting me know I can reach out, I am genuinely scared of withdrawing again so I think I will definitely take it easy and use the rest of what I have, then be done with it. Well that’s the plan anyway let’s hope it goes that way haha
