I have a big problem,
it started over 4 years ago when I started using heroin....long story short I've been using almost everyday since with periods where I would just stop, suck up the pain and be done with it. I would start again just for the purpose of fun. The main reason I liked the drug was the getting it part. I won't go into details but I loved the rush and thrill of what I chose to do just to get it. I put myself in very crazy situations to get it, but I was like this before the drug. Heroin was mainly used by me to calm my possessed mind. I'm extremely rash and fearless. I was actually able to keep a job longer than I ever had in my life while I was on heroin which the people who now know about my use don't seem to understand. Same goes with school...I was never able to focus or even attend in class and now I was getting good grades and staying the whole semester. Whatever to that though, I don't use it as an excuse to use, I'm learning to just do this shit on my own. It's a big problem but this isn't the issue I have. It's not the problem of not being able to function in society without. I was never actually addicted....as long as I did the physical pain is always a joke to me....I can careless about such little things. I am in no denial about this either...urges and withdrawals aren't a force to convince me to do something. I don't like when people control me and I don't let anything else control me....thats a problem in itself...but thats another story. It's the way everyone in my life has reacted to this....and this makes me want to have a problem. Sitting in NA and AA meetings makes me think about drugs. Thinking about my girlfriend being so far away from me now because I detoxed again so far from home makes me want to do drugs. People telling me I have a problem with drugs when I don't even think about them when I don't want to is making me want to do drugs not that I ever will again. It could even be subconsciously making a real problem inside my head that I don't need. Even when I go out I could easily score again and I have been blatently offered by one man and even under all this bullshit and wanting to spite them all by using...I politely said no thanks. The fact that all the family is keeping my girlfriend from talking to me, making her break her promises of calling and visiting, and telling her we're not right for each other is putting my mind back into the devil's lair. I have a lot of control when it comes to this stuff. My stubborn personality is enough to prove people wrong and keep me clean on my own...thats just the type of person I am. But my girlfriend and these forced meetings and all the people around me trying to make me admit to something I'm not. The only reason I even agreed to this is because my girlfriend (who I knew would be convinced) told me to go. I would always listen to her just like I was almost always honest with her. I feel this is the worst mistake of my life and now I'm stranded 3000 miles from home and from my own sanity. I have kept my demons under control and staying. I'm putting up with all this anyway even though I know I shouldn't but I'm trying to prove to myself I'm mentally stronger than anyone realizes. What the fuck am I suppose to do?

There is only one smile, one laugh, one kiss, and one embrace that made me feel love. An unconditional love that can bring two people together in the darkest moments of each others lives. I walk behind you picking up the pieces that you can't hold together and fill every bit of emptiness in your heart. When i saw your secret medicine that healed your pain I died a little inside, I wanted to be your heroine. I wanted to be your medicine, I want to cure it all and make it go away. I can't..I am also addicted, to my addict.
I am not healthy..I am really sick and two broken people can't make one healthy one. I also need to heal so I can be strong enough to be a girl who will help you in the right ways..while you conquer your demons I need to face my own. This isn't a goodbye..this wasn't even a break...this wasn't choosing between sides..love is resilient...and is patient. Love doesn't walk out and close the door behind it...love is gentile and kind, especially my love for you. I hope your masks slip away and you aren't afraid to let me see who is behind it. The smile the laugh the kiss and the embrace are yours.
I hope you enjoy your package .m.

:) I am 47 going on 28 ok 29...:D . Its been 23 + years and counting since I did my last speed ball. But you know what I still remember. I used everday for 5+ years most of who I believed were my "friends " back then are dead. Boy do I have some stories, I dont really remember them all the time they just pop up. I now have been off METHODONE for 20 years. (thats another story) . The people I have hurt, the ones I love and loved me, and 25+ years later I am fighting a battle worse then my drug habit , my 27 year old son is drinking himself to death he still maintains a job, (But for how long hes been there 4+ years like this) hes had 2 dui's and after each meeting he stops by and has a few drinks. Im glad he lives close to work and dont need a car (his broken down he just sold it) AND YES I COULD JUST DIE I HAVE ENABLED HIM TO DO SO BY HELPING HIM EVEYTIME he needed help. such a smart ,successful man who I feel GUILTY THAT I DRUG HIM THROUGH MY DRUGGIN (his dad was a drinker to). My baby who took care of me back then. I feel like it is my FAULT !!! what do I do where do I go. For me kickin the drugs was so much more easy I LOVE MY KIDS (2) he happened to be with me. my daughter was born after. I honstly dont know how to cope with this its killing me. I really really dont want to watch my son DESTROY HIS YOUNG LIFE as I did. with alcohol. But I know no matter what anyone says he has to choose, as I did back then. I need to learn to cope can my heart take it? (oops) sorry see in the end the live you have lived using always gets you somehow. its still one day at a time....:(

Addiction is one of the worst problem. The people who are suffering from heroin addiction cannot stop this addiction.

hey Slim,

you sound like a moron you know that right? Oh dont worry I have no problem calling people morons and do it all the time, everyone around me thinks I should stop but I got it under control you know? Slim... just keep it up if its working for you and tell that girl of yours that she needs to mind her own buisness too! Oh and WHATEVER you do NEVER-EVER read the chapter called "who is an addict" in the NA basic text cuz that will ruin everything.
Oh and last thing, taking a chance on going to jail is no problem either right? Of course not...... just dont have kids cuz they kinda depend on you ya know but thats cool I get it the heroin comes b4 the gf and the kids too right? Just keep it up your doing great!!!
