Hello all, I am a long time (5 years off and on) heroin addict and I am now on day 4 of being clean of IV use of heroin. And man, it ain't easy any time I have quit. You know, I feel crappy but mostly because I have been vomiting and evacuating every fluid and food for days now and am just weak. I will get through it though and life will be better again. This last stint I was using for about 8 months. I had gone for years without it, but I had begun to use painkillers before I began to use the heroin this time. I can't help but feel the happiness that comes from knowing that I am almost out of the woods again and I can be normal again soon. I won't have to worry about going to get it or the money to buy it with and all of the hassle involved with a successful opiate addiction. All I want to say to people here is this (as I am sure it has been said before)... Being addicted to opiates is the worst addiction anyone can go through and it's not easy to quit. Tapering off to help with withdrawl or completely going cold turkey is really the only ways to go. That is if you can't go into treatment for it. It is NOT easy and takes a certain frame of mind, but if someone is ready, they will do it. Years ago when I quit before, I had it in my head that heroin is poison and bad and I didn't want it anymore, but the longer I was away from it, the more I forgot about it being as bad as it really was. So for any of you in the cycle of abuse, just be dilligent and hopefully soon you will come to your moment of clarity and come out of the haze that heroin puts you in. Anyway all, good luck to every one of you here. God bless and take care.

Congratulations on Day 4. I am Lisa & I am an alcoholic. I am usually on the alcohol board but I always find the heroine board to be so poignant that I stop on in every couple days or so. Anyway, nice to "meet" you & welcome!
Welcome and blessings to you as you fight your way through this...you sound amazingly positive given the difficulty of withdrawls. Keep coming back here for support...the recovering addicts here can really be a help.

Hey Dallas, cheers for your share. How are you feeling today?
Hi Dallas.
I'm also on day 4, but I've got a Mehadone presciption, I really admire you doing it with no Meds. I've tried it and I always give into the rattle within the first day!!
Keep it up m8, Emily.xx

Hey, hope is going well in the recovery process - I, myself, am a rehabilitating OC and H addict, so I know how hard it is to get away from the constant and never ending feeling to get high. The worst part about the entire process and addiction is the fact that we have created this disease and now even after coming off of it for some time, it is still the first thing I wake up thinking about and it is the last thing I think about before I go to sleep (if I even sleep). It sucks
well done m8, im on day 5 of my detox from methadone i can deal wiv all the aches, pains, flu, vomitin etc.. but the restlessness now thats a bugger i cant any sleep at all iv tried pain killers and sleepin pills but there not doin anything wot can i do 2 get rid of these ajitations? keep it up it'll all come good in the end thats wot i keep sayin 2 myself
Like Jack I love new posters and all the old ones
Well done Dalllas as a none addict I think that anyone who's even trying deserves the utmost respect. My man 10 days no gear on the meth but suffering even if he relapses it's 10 days less he'll have used this year.
