The ladder to Heroin.
 
I've been a H addict for the last 4 or 5 years. I never thought it would end up like this but here I am. I started just drinking and smoking pot. Then tried poping pills and acid. B4 I knew it I was eating shrooms and watching Pink Floyd the Wall every weekend. Then "Perks" hit South Philly really bad and everyone was addicted about 7 years ago. Then perks turned into Oxy's.....and then from Oxy's it went to heroin.

It SUCKS being a heroin addict. I cant even wear short sleeve shirts in the summer cuz I have track marks from shooting up. I went to detox centers 8 times and I was on methadone for 2 years.

Please guys ......DONT PICK UP THE PERKS!!!

dam i just recently started drugs.
i was actually strait edge in september this year. then i started smoking pot and drinking. then i started with DXM. DXM is the best shit ive ever done but i can control myself. i dont smoke pot anymore casue its boring. the drugs i like now are vicodin,and ephedrine and i still like drinking.
what i do to keep from being addicted is i dont buy drugs. if someone is offereing ill take it. i have spent maybe 20 bucks on dxm, and maybe 10 on OTC pills.

i started drinking milk, then I went to coca cola, now i drink coffee.............

i am not trying to belittle your problem, but it seems to me that when you say that drug abuse is a progression from softer drugs to heroin or whatever, there is no way to substatiate that there actually was a progression. perhaps an addictive personality is the real problem.

Good advice mickeyknox! I hope you can find some relief, my friend. Control is an illusion and addictive personality is an excuse. I am sure you can attest to these facts. There is help-seek it out-keep trying-find a group that will support you. Hell, If Clapton (and thousands of others) can get clean, so can you. Never give up. T

Re: The ladder to Heroin.
 
how can you say in one breath that control is an illusion and in the next breath state that an individuals personality traits cannot predispose them to addiction, as in an addictive personality.

if control is an illusion then you may as well step in front of a bus because as with any problem ultimately change is up to you.

my point was that i don't believe in gateway drugs. its like saying that coffee is a gateway drug to speed. its a spurious relationship.

Re: The ladder to Heroin.
 
*Sigh* As much as I see these stories of soft drugs leading up to harder drugs, I still find that I can't stop myself from wanting to try harder drugs. Anythign but fear that is. They say that taking acid/shrooms will really mess me up because of my mental disorders. That is, to the point of no return. Even my anti-psychotics and psychotropics AND sedatives would have no effect on my brain if I had a trip and my schizophrenia broke loose. Anybody have any advice on this? Naturally I don't want to take a halucinagenic, and I know the addiction to coke/heroin will ruin your life, but the fact is that I neither have the money in any way to support an addiction alongside my cigarette habit, and I don't know any dealers. I guess that those could easily not become a problem though, all I'd need to do is get a better job, and ask some of my friends/sisters friends. The more I think about it the less I want to even try it. Can anyone explain what it's like?

Re: The ladder to Heroin.
 
Speaking of softer drugs leading to harder ones, it is mostly true. When you've never tried anything, you don't know how taking a mind-altering substance feels. Many are very surprised by their ability to affect the mental state/mood. Once you get the taste of it, it's natural to search for something better... And it starts.

I hope you guys can overcome the addiction soon... Especially Mickey and Tyler seems to be in a bad fix! :( Please keep trying and don't give up on yourself. Gradually lower the dose. Best of luck!

i agree one thing does lead to another, went further and further down the line and then realised what i was doing and stopped completely, changed my life and my friends. never looked back since.
