no no no. you need them. that's like...your reason for existing.

 Thanks for the support. I've already taken some today anyway. Fuck it.

I wish I could express the experiences of opiate use that I have had, as well as numerous close friends of mine.  I have known many people with opiate addiction, myself included.  We were all in your position at one time.  We all thought that it was benefiting us.  Maybe it did for a while.  Only now can we look back and wish that we never got involved with the drug.  This is how it starts.  Everybody always says "It will never happen to me, I have self control."  

Please rethink your decision to continue using.  It will be much easier to stop now than later.  You cannot continue using the rest of your life.  If you do, your life will be very short.  You might as well learn to live without it now.  The longer you wait, the harder it will be to give it up.  You WILL have to give it up someday for one reason or another, so make it easier on yourself and do it before it gets any worse.

Please take this seriously.  When I was in your position, I didn't listen to people who were telling me to stop.  I didn't realize how bad it was.  It took two felony charges and a few days behind bars with mad withdrawals for me to realize this is not the life I want.  Friends of mine have died, gone to jail/prison (prison is like 1000x worse than jail), rehab, kicked out of their house, evicted from their house, back to rehab, dropped out of school, gotten various diseases, I could go on.

I wasn't going to come right out and be the den mother, but I have to agree.  I'm paying severely for things I did during an opiate addiction.. It's not worth it.  Trust me darling, not to go all intervention on you ass, or anything like that.  Just speaking from experience.

She seeks the stars and spirals up their stairs.

I honestly don't think I'll stop anytime soon.  Every single day I get the urge to do heroin. Every single day I want more and more. There's a few minutes where I want to quit, and then I'm back to it all over again. I love drugs and I really have no desire at this point to give them up. I need to, in a way I want to, but right now, nope. It really sucks that I can say that honestly. It scares the hell out of me.

For somebody to stop, they have to want to stop.  Unfortunately this usually only happens when the user hits "rock bottom."  Just know that this "rock bottom" will come some day.  This day you will want to stop.  By the time this happens though, you will have already dug yourself a huge hole to get out of.  Trust me, it will be easier to get out of the hole now before it gets any deeper.  

Just by making this thread, you have shown some desire to stop.  At least you are contemplating it.  I think you know that it's bad for your overall well being.  Otherwise you wouldn't have made this thread.
