Hi,
I am a 29 year old male in the Thames Valley area. I am an Opiate addict currently on Methodone. I was never abused as a child and I have a loving familly. We would be the statistical example (2.4 children, 2 cars nearing 3 etc). I am gay, but don’t let that determin why I turned to heroin in the first place.
I got into drugs by peer pressure. I always hanged arround with older kids than me when I was younger, they were more interesting and sensible than people of my age. I started smoking pot at 13, speed at 14. My school was shite, because I was gay I was a prime target for verbal abuse – but I never let it get to me. LSD and then Extasy was the next drug of choice. For a solid 3 years every weekend I ate pills and speed and then got onto selling them to make even more friends. The trick worked. Towards the end of my party lifestyle (aged 19ish) I became parranoid. For sometime after stopping all chemicals and pot I was still parranoid – There was no end. My partner at the time asked to borrow my car to score – I pressured him to tell me what he was getting – Heroin. I passed him £15 and I drove him to go and get it. That was my first time smoking heroin and I loved it. My parranoia stopped sudenly and I felt good about myself. OK, I was sick everwhere but that was a small price to pay when you are finally happy.
Every weekend I did smack. Then I would do some on the Monday and then on Wednesday until I started to have stomach cramps, constipation, tears streaming from my eyes (detox symptom). it took over my life. I stole from my familly, did crime to fund my habit and sold drugs to fund my addiction.
Now, I have a criminal record and not much to show for a 29 year old man.
I aim to enusre that people out there are aware of what troubles Heroin addiction or indeed any opiate could do. I don’t want this to appear like a public confession either rather just my experience and if someone like a concerned parent, friend of someone who is an addict or if the person reading this themselves are addicts then I hope you will take something positive from my experience and apply it to your lives.
Here is my diary for the time I was in hospital:
Victims! Yes, a lot of people are victims! I see where your coming from, but everyone has a different chemical makeup. Some people will become an addict just from trying something once. Most people don’t even finish their pain medicine rx that they got prescribed for an injury…someone with an addictive trait might finish the bottle in a matter of days, even if it was their very first time taking that specific rx, because they have that addiction trait. Yes,people decide to try drugs but I don’t know anyone that wanted to become an addict,and tried to become addicts, and I know lots of them! I am a victim of drug abuse. I never took opiates until I had them prescribed, and look at me now…third time in a methadone clinic! Regardless of where you are and how you got there, victim or not, addiction can be beat…especially if you choose to hang with people that support you in your battle. Its a tough road that can last a lifetime. But, its not the end of the world or your life.
You have a criminal record and not much to show for a 29 year old man? You are alive, you are young and you still have all of life’s opportunities before you.
My story is similar to yours. I was strung out on heroin for about 30 years. I am not gay, but instead of a 29 year old man I am a 49 year old man. I didn’t come to my senses until I was almost 50. Now I regret all those years I wasted getting high. Now I think about all the precious time I wasted on things that doen’t matter.
You still have most of your life before you. You can do with it whatever you want. But take it from someone who has wasted 20 more years than you. Don’t be sitting there in fron of your computer in 20 years, going on fifty, with nothing worthwhile to show for it. Live the rest of your life so you can honstly be proud of what you have done with it.
Life os too short to waste it doing drugs. They make you live a fake life.
Drugs are a lie.
Sorry if its the wrong thread…hello everybody!
Obviously I am desperate. Let me explain plain , clearer and simpler. I move to Virginia and I need to find where to buy my candies (my heroin and coca) Does anyone know where I can I get it near Spotsylvania on Fredericksburg. Please call me *************
I have read this post like 100 times and it still amazes me every time and what kind of thing you had to go through.. I hope you managed to stay clean 🙂
Opioid comparison – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
amazes me they prescribe methadone for opiate withdrawal, look at the half life it’s ridiculous it’s more additive than heroin itself.
i hear tramadol and kratom are amazing for coming off opiates and dealing with the painful deadly withdrawal.
so very stupid ! giving one drug that is harder to come off then heroin.. it would be like giving heroin at the hospital for pain instead of morphine

some opiates work better than others for some, for some diacetylmorphine (heroin) would work better at pain killing than morphine.
also short term pain relief opiate use isn’t even bad for the health you might get the itches or throw up or feel a bit drained the day/days after but that’s the worst.
it would yes but so much that 9 people out of 10 would leave the hospital addicted to it?
moprhine felt strong like drousey and made me want more
firstly in the UK for them to give you potent IV opiates you’d need serious surgery and to get addicted to these drugs physically you have to do them quite a bit. I’ve spent two weeks on Oxycodone a very strong Opiate and i felt no withdrawal after, i also had a bottle of acid at the time which i was drinking from constantly and doing ketamine, alcohol, 2c-t-7 and mephe!
yeah to be in extreme pain for the strong stuff.. I had kidney stones and was given some weak ish morphine, but enough to feels its effects slightly and wanting more after.
drinking from a bottle of LSD with 2c drugs! me wants lol
it was some years ago now maybe 5-6 years.. I think its because i was doing mdma and just getting into bed and sleeping and drinking no water.. not really sure though but it was painful
Is anyone in contact with e_babes? How is he?
