Hi guys.
So, as many of you on here know, I am a heroin addict. Recently, I've been asked by several members to do an AMA, so here it is. I want to stress that this is a crippling disease, and NOT something that should be glorified. There is a huge stigma connected to heroin use, so I wanted to clear some stuff up for you guys. I am quite educated about the subject of addiction as well.
Ask me anything, and I will answer truthfully. I obviously can't answer questions about location and such, but I will try to get to as many questions as I can.
I hope this is ok for this board. I am trying to provide a glimpse into a life that many people don't have a clue about. There are tons of misconceptions about addiction and heroin, and I want to clear some things up.

Goddamn. So you pretty much feel like you're past the point of no return I guess.Ha, IAMA heroin user that holds down a 9-5. I would definitely do it. I promise that I wouldn't promote the use of drugs because even though these two dudes seem to think I'm glorifying my use, I'm really doing it because it rewired my brain to basically say that dope is the only thing that can make me happy.
I got into it because I snorted Oxy for the first time with my best friend, and it was like.... the best ever. Started using it more frequently and then soon I was just hooked. I couldn't afford OC's any more, so soon I started using heroin. I was smoking it for a while and then I started slamming it because it was cheaper. And here I am. What I keep trying to tell people is that they really don't understand what goes on in an addicts brain until they experience it. Like, really. It completely destroys your reward system, so your brain stops producing endorphins by itself.
How much do you spend per week on drugs? Have you been to rehab before?
