Can Someone Answer This?

i dont even know where to start! me and my husband use/d up until the other night, saturday night to be exact. we werent everyday users. we kind of did it in spurts, if that makes sense. we'd get over the withdrawls and s***ty feelings, do good for a few days then start back up again. we KNOW its stupid and want to stay away from it. its just hard, as you all know. anyways, i started using the needle about 2months ago. we would shoot 2 bags at a time. it was always the same high, nodding out, getting up feeling good and high again then nodding out again.....you know how it is. anyways, i know some stuff about this drug but not a whole lot. saturday night i did my 2 bags and almost immediately (this is what my husband told me, i have no recolection of it at all) convulsed and slumped over in the passenger seat. to make a long story short, he said i stopped breathing so he blew air in my mouth about 4 times until i finally started breathing again. i wouldnt wake up for about half an hour. he screamed in my ear, threw snow in my face and smacked me over and over and still didnt wake up. he started driving home after he got me breathing but kept his hand on my pulse and mouth to make sure i was ok. but eventually i woke up on my own. it wasnt a normal 'nod out' episode. i think he called it 'falling out'. what is that?? it scared the s*** out of me. we promised not to touch the stuff again. if he wasnt there, i would of died, i know it. i hope hope hope that we can do it, i dont ever want to forget that feeling because i dont wanna do that s*** again.i dont understand how i can do it so much, and we always get the s*** from the same spot, then all of a sudden it does that to me?? but he was fine so i dont think it was bad stuff. i also want to add, i am not a drinker normally, but before we did it that night, i had 2 beers. thats it, 2 beers. he thinks maybe thats why. but he had alot more beer than me and he was totally fine. any input is appreciated. right now im feeling pretty s***ty cuz we havent done it since. i hate this feeling!!!! i want to feel normal again and i want to move away from here so we arent tempted to do it again. that was the scariest thing ive ever been through!
Sounds like your 2 bags were either stronger than normal or tapped with something.bad..Just because you get the same bags from the same place doesnt mean they are all the same-its not like this stuff is regulated,you know?
You do know its like Russian Roulette- ?
Maybe the alcohol played into it- but your real lucky your frend didnt go out also- then no-one wouldve been able to help .

After something like this happens ,we always think we learned our lesson, - but heroin gives us a short memory-

Be careful and try to rememember we are only given so many chances

you od plain and simple my dear, there are lots of different factors at work every time you use. I have been an addict for 7 years and at my worst i would inject 3/4 of a gram in one hit. I had a hit one morning that was only small but I went over, it can happen at any time, it's very dangerous to be a part time I.V user because you don't build up a tollerance to the stuff so you could go over any time, if your going to use every now and again just stick to smoking or snorting.
Sounds like a sign to stop if you ask me. Although as an addict I know how that can be. In all my years I have NEVER met a recreational heroin user especially if you're booting. Now maybe there are some, but my bet is you guys will be using daily before you know it.

Not judging you at all. I'm glad you're alive, and persoanlly I would have instead of taken you home took you to an ER. No doubt. I mean I also know the repercussions of that. Still it's your life on the line.

I echo what everyone else has said as well. Anytime, anyplace. No matter who else gets the same dope. You think the people packaging the dope are pharmacologists? PLUS I don't know where you live, but the dope is being cut with fentanyl. You get that and you're screwed.

Who copped the dope? Just wondering. I mean were you there when the hubby copped? You saw what changed hands? I'm glad you are O.K. and him telling you that ya fell out?????????? We say people fell out when we mean you were laughing so hard. Ya fell out laughing. Or when you faint you fall out. I never heard of falling out doing dope. Never. I heard of ODing, but not falling out.

I'd take that as a sure sign you need to look into what you propose to do. I'm glad you are alright now. That's some frightening s*iT right there.
That's really scary!! I did the same thing once. I was using around 6 bags a day. Then I ran out and had to wait a few weeks on the next shipment. In the meantime, I went through withdrawal. The day my guy came in with the new supply, he gave me and my roomie a bag apiece. Well, my roomie fell out on his. I had to do cpr on him to get him breathing. That kind of scared me. But it didn't scare me enough. I still did a half a bag and my heart stopped!! My neighbor broke my ribs, giving me cpr. I threw up for 3 days and then started getting high again. I'm still known as the chick who stepped over her dyeing room-mate to do a bag of dope. Anyway, I don't know what that was cut with but 7 people in my "small" hometown od'd that week. Two of them died. And you know what? Everybody wanted that dope! They didn't want that mediocre sh$%! They wanted the crap that was killing thier friends! That's insanity! That's heroin addiction!!

I developed a real high tolerance with oxycontin. I would hit 10 80mg pills at once and still not get a nod..just a head ache.
I have been in Detroit for nearlyh two weeks now waiting for a rapid detox procedure. The told me to go to a methadone clinic for my withdraw when I ran out of oxy. I went downtown, befriended a homeless guy, who scored me some heroin. I cannot believe how cheap it is. What was costing me 300.00 (600 for me and my wife) is now costing me 40 for 4 bags.
I can already tell that there is far more potential to od on heroin than the oxy. I was doing two bags at once but have dropped that habit and now just do 4, maybe 5 a day.
How do these habits, addictions, withdraws compare?
They all lead to jails, institutions or death.
Heroin is all fun and games until you lose everything or die. That's your choices if you continue.

Did you come here looking for advise or to look for help in finding a way out?
I dont understand the point here.

jackofhartzz- thats what we were paying. $10 a bag. obviously we're not doing it now though.

i was doing it up the nose for the first year and a half then just recently started booting. after i did that, i wished i was doing it that way all along. heroin really sucks. i dont want to forget what happened because i dont want to do that s*** again. i guess you could call us recreational users. i mean, we used alot, just in spurts. we'd go like a week straight doin it, then try to stop because thats not the life we want. we'd get these 'newbie' pills that dissolve under your tongue and they help kick. nastiest tasting s*** but they worked. but we would always start back up again as soon as we felt better. it was a frickin cycle. oh f'in well, the cycle is broke now cuz i dont want the stuff. that was enough to scare me straight! my kids almost never saw me again cuz of it.

thanks for the replies everyone.
