    Grey Ghosts . . . The best way to interrupt the heroin cycle is with suboxone. It’s easy to get and will stop every single wd symptom. It works really well for the first 3 weeks, then as the brain heals from heroin you may have a slump. That’s why a mental health professional is useful. Many folks need a mild antidepressant in the beginning or a mild benzo for a few weeks. Easy does it. I lost my son to fentynol laced heroin . . . I used suboxone instead of pain meds and it is a wonder drug. If only I had known, I would still have my son.

    Octamed it’s because our bodies change to the drug. They change so that we rely on the drug. When we don’t have it, our body systems are tuned to a whole different setting that doesn’t include dope (your brain usually produces less serotonin, no endorphins, etc.), so we feel sick because, again, our bodies were shaped around the drug and that shape is not holding up a life without it so it needs to change

    I was a heavy heroin user, it really did ruin my life. I got off heroin last November and ive recently gotten off the opiate treatment. I can now say i am clean and its such a good feeling i am back into the gym and in general my life is so much better. If you ever think about touching it please don't, there is nothing harder and more painful than getting off heroin. If anyone is suffering from heroin addiction or any type of addiction just know there is help if you want it.

He thought no one loved him he said. 500 people came to his funeral. He leaves behind sons 9 and 12 with an exwife and a 3 year old with a fiancee. He had been clean at least 6 years and went back to it. You can do better. Who knows what good things are left on this earth for you?

    @s h It would be better to stop now before your brain reaches peak development. A lot of the stress will be age related and won’t last forever, we realistically go through different stages of puberty until 25. Even if life is crap it gets more manageable the more accustomed you and your brain become. It starts with getting clean, take it a day at a time and then by each week life will start to feel more manageable. Just look around at people living what you would call a good life and think about what the differences are and why you think that would be a good life for you then incorporate those things into your own life. Again it won’t be instant but you can do it just believe in yourself. 💪

    Meh, Heroin was my first opioid drug, tried snorting some first then switched to injecting after unsatisfying results. Done it a bit here and there, maybe 3 grams in total and doesn't have much urge for it at all. More of an occassional thing for me. Amphetamine and alcohol is way worse from an addiction and potential harm standpoint imo.

    Christian Krona Alcohol definitely have to agree there. Unfortunately opiates were my drug of choice. I think I'm a bit hyper to begin with and needed a downer to help. Amphetamines didn't do much for me. Did them occasionally but my first love was opiates. It's weird how different people will drift to either uppers or Downers some people to both. We are all different hey.

Heroin is incredibly addictive (the withdrawals are horrible but cant kill) and you can overdose if you take too much but if you dont overdose and take daily PURE heroin it does basically no damage to you and you can live a normal life.

Its only the illegal street stuff that causes damage to vein abscesses ect this is from the stuff its cut with not the heroin itself.. doesn't take a genius to realise if you inject unsterile dirt into your veins its gunna cause some harm. Remember abscesses are an infection caused by bad unclean technique of injection nothing to do with the drug itself.. The only damage it would do would be not drug related so the same damage that you would get from injecting sterile water into you or like diabetics who inject insulin. read this article for info on the FACTS www.independent.co.uk/voices/commentators/johann-hari/the-best-treatment-for-addiction-free-heroin-72229.html

    Morphine is only good for certain types of pain. I'm an expert, 20 years experience with opiates lol. Not any more but used to be quite adept at consuming as much as I could get my hands on. 9 out of every 10 od's are people using benzo's or alcohol then opiates on top. Pure opiate overdoses are rare. So is the effects you describe once you've used it a few times, once is a stretch no one ever had a habit from using heroin once mate. After that you''re just flat out keeping yourself from being sick! And sick doesn't even go close to describing what happens. I'd rather be shot or amputate a limb rather than have to go through serious withdrawal again!

    I met someone whom i call "friend" last year.Her friend introduce me to meth and some yaba.At this point im a MDMA,magic mushroom and ketamin user. I got kick out of house that day and coincidentally I met people who willing to teach me basics of meth.Well im totally down for that and since then i can't stop using for 11months. Me and her fought one day and we decided to split off.We did.I went cold turkey and stopped using for 5months. Last month I relapsed on meth after celebrating my 18th birthday,started doing it again after meeting a new friend.So disappointed in myself.

    I agree about the mental part. The depression and anxiety is so hard to deal with that you feel like the only way you'll get past that own with more heroin. Benzos really help with that feeling but with an addictive personality they'd just become another addiction and from what I hear is just as bad if not worse. I'm currently in the middle of quitting and have been bouncing back between subs and heroin. I'm stuck in this cycle because I'm trying to avoid withdrawal and knowing that I'll have to face it sooner or later mentally fucks me up. I'm high right now so I'm just rambling but it's just how I feel

I know it sounds cliche but exercise/physical activity is the only thing that works for me. You gotta change your routine. Even lifestyle if your 100% serious. Eating right and taking multivitamins every day will allow everything to slowly get back to normal. There is no quick fix, just being disciplined in your sobriety. Good luck.

    Daniel Myers you can do it, the fact your talking about and asking for help is a strong persons personality in itself. Your not weak. Opiates are super addicting, I know you will get and stay off the opiates cause you are strong for asking for tips and help and sometimes you just gotta remember the positive things you have been told or that you just know. Remember everybody understanding on your KZread channel and remember your not the only one who has felt this way and remember how strong you are and how strong others know you are and just no matter how it seems just keep repeating the positive in your head or out loud and look at yourself in the mirror while doing so too. You can do this. Positive affirmations do help as corny as that one may sound. :)🥰🙂😊😉🤗👍🏻👋🏻✌🏻🖖🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

I have been prescribed many pain killers such as dilaudid, tramidol, vicodin, codeine, and others. I have had extreme allergic reactions from them leading to trips to the ER so I just cannot take any pain medications of those types. I have to rely on Relpax for migraines and Prednisone for the back pain. I pray to never need a strong pain killer since another allergic reaction like that could kill me.

It was around 4 to 5 percent. The desparity of poverty in this country is what drives the addiction problem. People need hope for something to live for. When they detoxed the 30% of Vietnam soliders and brought them home only 4 to 5% went back to using . The norm average of many countries at the time

The pain didn’t go away and initially i thought that the drug was too small of a dose, after 40 minutes the wrist was still hurting but i didn’t give a f at all. My restless legs went away, my nerves calm down, became relaxed and the life was so beautiful. The only time i had that kind of feeling was when in Russia almost froze to death then found a warm place and laid down. Same exact feeling. The restless legs didn’t even return for couple of weeks.

Most overdoses happen from low tolerance. She's not ready to give it up :( it's destroying me. She's the love of my life and the most beautiful girl I've ever met. I'm really enjoying our 15 min convos now. I never get to talk to this girl. First time ever telling me she cares about me, misses me and loves me. I didn't turn my back on her ever. Court is Thursday and the day she is released will be the most nervous day of my life. I wish she would stay off of it. She got past the hard part but it's what she talks about when calling. Getting out and doing some and drinking. She doesn't want to hear about staying clean.

    I kinda was. It's what got me into drugs. Ironically propaganda got me interested in middle school. Then I started learning pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, therapeutic indexes, ADME, reading Pubmed articles, different routes of administration, reading pharmacological profiles of different drugs, full, partial agonists, antagonists, inverse agonists, then I became a fulltime heroin and methamphetamine addict

    Like others said Desomorphine has almost identical effects to Heroin, it's just how it's made that causes extreme problems. Same method of synthesis as shake n bake meth labs are using, just that you switch out the Pseudoephedrine for Codeine.

    so other than being addictive and having a possibility of overdose... what exactly is so harmful about it? if a heroin addict was able to maintain a steady supply of clean heroin and used safely, are there actually any real major health repercussions? because from what i gather from this video, it is the unsafe usage and flow on effects and not actually the usage in and of itself that makes it problematic...

    Some people in these comments are really trying to defend the use of heroin and morphine and say it’s not that bad and not addictive? Say that to the millions of addicts across the world who have lost everything, including their lives, to heroin and overdosing. I saw someone try to say that heroin overdoses are rare when in 2017 there were about 81,000 heroin related overdoses. So please, stop trying to say it’s not as bad as this video makes it out to be, because it is.

    Disappointed in this as it's rhetoric and doesn't look at actual addiction figures at all!! Btw heard an addiction expert say the following and they were talking about findings from Switzerland and Portugal, and maybe more places this was over 1 year ago I heard it. 1000s are given diamorphine (heroin) every year for hip replacements on the NHS in the UK and they do not form addictions beyond 1 or 2%. In fact when you break down the figures of drug use to see how people consume drugs be it occasional, to let loose regularly, and addiction it mirrors that of alcohol use. When looking at addicts as a group be it alcohol or illegal drugs they all have common denominators, such as broken families, mental disorders etc. And this is where the expert really functioned on. Because of the propaganda that it's drug addiction which needs tackled, and not the person's problems which lead to their addiction; traditional rehab has very high rates of relapse. At least in Switzerland and Portugal (I think) they try and tackle the underlying cause of why people became addicts in the first place, rather than teaching them methods to break the cycle. And they have way more success. If anyone is interested in that interview I'll pass it on. Edit: Couldn't find the original video I was thinking of as the guy has just made that many, but posted two links as a response to this comment

    In the U.S the statistics are around 4 million people have tried it once in their life, of which 335,000 have used it within the last month (Drugabuse.com). So it's not the instant source of addiction most people assume it to be, and there in lies the problem with how the nature of the addiction is portrayed to people. Lets say you do it once, and don't get all those horrible come downs mentioned by all the talking heads and articles you've read online. You think you're one of those lucky few who can pick it up and drop it on a whim. So you do it another time, and another, and then you're doing a little more each time to chase the same high....and then one day you're short on money and you can't pay your local dealer for a few days. No worries, you've done without it before... And the next morning you wake up with flu like symptoms with a gentle craving, which builds and builds over the hours till at last you'd literally sell your own grandma for a few grams of the good stuff. Before anyone accuses me of defending heroin use, let me tell you about some of the more coloruful side effects that can/will happen from your new found addiction. You can end up so constipated that you literally end up projecting vomiting up your own feces because they literally have no where else to go. If you go into withdrawal there's a good chance you'll have the joy of forced orgasms, because your nervous system has been continually depressed for months or years on end, and suddenly remember it has nerve endings in your penis. It may sound fun, but imagine going through hours upon hours of painful orgasms when your body is stressed, tired, craving, and your ball sack was emptied five minutes into the whole ordeal. Oh, and if you're an ex user and have to go into hospital for an operation you now how the choice of taking the strong painkillers on offer and going through withdrawal again, or going through the surgery with the equivalent of paracetamol to control the pain... And most ex-addicts choose the second option. That's how much the withdrawal sucks.

    Social background is a major factor, but I became addicted with NO real excuse. This IS a wonder drug....but in a terrible way. By the time you realise that the symptoms you feel are because of withdrawal its too late. The stigma shown towards addicts is a major problem. If you're teated like a piece of shit, then you'll treat people as they treat you, which is an awful downward spiral. The ONLY sensible way forward that is proven to work is the legalisation route that the Portuguese etc have taken. This pointless decades old war on drugs is just totally irrational, and will never work. Politicians don't ever go for legalisation as it's unpopular and won't get them votes. Millions of young people are suffering a life of HELL, while big pharma and rehabs etc make fortunes. This epidemic is a huge problem worldwide, and unless some politicians get the balls to do the right thing, millions will continue to suffer and die, even the people that have never touched this drug are affected by it, crime is mostly due to finding money to buy this drug, therefore legalisation reduces crime and all the costs to life that go along with it. Massively unreported problem in the first world countries. I pray for future generations...and hope we sort it before it's passed on to them, but I don't hold out much hope.
