Trainspotting : Have you ever done Heroin ?

I haven't, but any folk here have?

Hell to the mutha friggin no!

My brother did for years. He's actually lucky to be alive. He overdosed once and his " friends" just dumped him onto the street. I absolutely cannot forgive him for all the crap he put my family through while he was using. I have very little to do with him now because of it all. People can do drugs for all I care but don't expect people to forgive you for all the hurt you cause from it.

I've done pretty much everything but Heroin. Cocaine, ecstasy, acid, speed, ritalin, weed, mushrooms, amyl nitrate. I've always wondered if any of those drugs I've taken even come close to Heroin.

I think most of what you have taken are uppers while heroin is a downer.

I'd forgive 20x the amount of pain my son caused with all the crap he's put us through,
if it meant he was still alive.

I'm just as pissed off at him as you are at your brother.
I'd just like to be able to be angry at someone who's still alive.
I'm even angry at him for being dead!

You get to the point where you don't want to have anything to do with them.
If he was still alive and still using, I'd probably feel the same as you do now.

But if you have the chance, hold your brother in your arms.

Don't forgive him; screw that.
Do it for yourself.
You deserve it.




You Fill Me with Inertia.

It's 1228am had my last dose like 12 hours ago. Gonna have to stay up til 9am and get my morning 30 dose once she's took kids to school. Gonna be a long night.
Yeah the life is pretty much like in the movie, all my 'friends' are addicts and would rob their own mothers. I like to think I'm different, I've never robbed anyone for gear but been in a few bad situations/places.
Heroin cost me my life.
Thing is they glamourise it in this movie, the 'buzz' is nowhere near as good as they make out, in fact I don't know if there is a buzz, it's a lifestyle!
I actually got on methadone a year or so ago and came off it, only to go back to the same friends and be on it again less than a week later.
I signed up to another clinic last week and am now waiting to be scripted this week and really hoping to stop.
The life is horrible, it's always 'one more' and the life it takes is nowhere near the life when on it.
As it said in the movie getting off it is the easy part it's the after effects that keep you in this world, the depression the change of life, the boredom.
Avoid heroin like the f~cking plague!!

09:44 been up all night being sick. Just sorted myself out now. I love heroin. Seriously can't wait to get out of this hellthat's the routine, will all be gone by 10 and I'll be okay for a few hours and then do the same thing all over again.
Maybe I was bad in a past life and this is my punishment.

Yeah it is a lot worse. These people are somewhat loyal, they care about their friends. That doesn't happen in real life.

yep, many times

Certainly planning to live the rest of me life as a junkie now.

Find a doctor to subscribes Suboxone. You do not have to live your life like that - no reason for it these days.

Yeah and it's the best.

I think everyone should try it atleast once cos you will have a mindblowing experience.

Yes. It's the best high in the world but it's not worth it. It will destroy your life. Gave it up four years ago and have no desire to go back to it.

Yes

Don't waste your time, its kind of like the "It goes to 11" joke in "Spinal Tap".

Lets say the way you normally feel, on a scale from 1 to 10, is a 7. So you take heroin and suddenly you feel a 10. You start to take it every day so you won't feel that same old 7 like everybody else.
Within a matter of days though you notice that to feel that 10 you have to take more heroin and it still doesn't feel quite as good as it did those first couple of tries.
Now that 10 is the 7 you were trying to escape but now it costs you money to feel normal 7 like everybody else when it was free before you tried it.
Think you can beat this though by just doing it once in awhile ? I wouldn't risk it, the odds that you are going to be the one who can do it recreationally and never become an addict are probably a million to one. Even Keith Richards had to quit !
And when you do quit, say because you're forced to, cold turkey because you find yourself in jail, suddenly you're experiencing living hell (and no one gives a damn) trying to get your mind readjusted again back to that old 'you'. The odds of maintaining a well adjusted, healthy life while addicted ? Just the chronic constipation alone
If you have psychiatric problems of any kind, you are even more susceptible to its lies.
Bottom line is it will NEVER make your life better, more manageable, it will only make it worse.
As a kid, I was injected with morphine in the hospital after an accident. I learned to cope with disappointment and tragedy while 'under the influence'. I was still growing, my brain learning to adapt with the pressures of life. Narcotics relieved the physical pain I was in but opened up a whole new Pandora's Box of misery.
My recommendation: If ya don't absolutely need it (narcotics), stay away. One never knows how they will react to them until they use it - and then its too late. You've experienced something that you can never reverse, you can't put the genie back in the bottle. Then try living your life with the knowledge that one bump or one shot will make a bad day feel just fine. Thats a life long torture.
When you take a drug that establishes a new normal you are screwed. You can never maintain that elevated feeling. Its built into the 'system' of life. Because when you try to, that 'new normal' will eventually (in a very short time) becomes just 'normal'.
Why bother ?
