Relapse question?

[unema]

Ok I have been using heroin for the past 3 months. The first month only a couple times, the second, a few more, and the last daily minus maybe 2 days. I know I'm not a heavy user but I felt the withdrawals as this is the first time I've ever had any.

I am now 2 weeks clean and feel like I am at the place where I can use and not get stuck again. The last time I did there were other factors contributing to my daily use that are no longer in the picture.

My question is if I do choose to smoke one day will I have the "sickness" afterwards? I only have ever smoked it if that means anything. Thanks for your help.

ps I have an unusual nature when it comes to drugs. I experiment quite a bit but know my boundaries of od, addiction, etc., that being said if this post is out of line, delete it asap. My prayers to everyone with an itch.

ok. i am like you i experiment and i thought i can control it. be careful, relapse is easy esp. if the triggers are there. i think the best way is to find something to do during the time you used to get high. it is not easy i know. i found that withdrawl depends on the strength of the drugs and how healthy your body is (eating regularly, etc.) . I never smoked it, i snorted though, is smoking better? what i find when you can't stop cold turkey is lowering the amount gradually, and trying to sleep it on the week end (do nothing: eat and sleep). in fact the methadone treatment which i took for 3 or 4 days in detox was based on lowering my dose and then cutting it off after the last day. then they gave me motrin for pain. let me know. i still relapse..

I eat every meal + for the most part so...I relapsed a few times but no big deal. I won't have it for a while and I'm not even thinking about it, stickin to the herb ;) shes much more forgiving.

Smoking it sucks cause it comes in tar and you have to smoke off foil :mad: but I wasn't rigging any time soon, shit is gross. I only snorted a couple times. Still just as gross cause I would basically melt the tar, mix with water, then snifffff. How would you do it, did you get powder?
