Started back on heroin after 4 years after serving three of them in prison. Once i got out i met my girlfriend and life couldn't have been better. I had a job, nice flat and money in my pocket. I did normal things that i had never done before, like BBQ's on the beach.
13 months down the line i bumped into my sister who has been addicted to heroin for 5 years. Im my mind she offered me gear because i was looking well and also doing well for myself. I thought i could do it part time but obviously i was wrong because i lapsed back into the vicious circle again. Things started to go down hill rapidly. I got myself a habit again. This time it didn't mean stealing and selling because i rinsed my girlfriends bank account and took everything she had. Nine months on she left me and i put myself back into jail because the waiting list for prescriptions was too long, and i didn't want to go on to meth. That is just another habit again. I had 6 months and did 3. Got myself clean.
Now I'm out and have been for 4 weeks. I've moved away from where i live before, and im back with my girlfriend and living with her. Im looking for a job and things are going well. I'll NEVER go back on to that stuff again.
well done, makes me feel better knowing u can get off it, found out today my bro is on the gear, worries me to death, he used to inject it 4 odd yrs back but was clean for all this time, now hes back to his old ways dont know what to do.
glad things have worked out for you

Im sorry to hear about your bro. It's an evil drug and gets a hold of you very quick. Try and get him to deal with it before he starts injecting because once i started i went down hill fast.
Has he contacted anyone for help? Im from the UK and i know from experience that the waiting lists are very long here.
I really hope he sorts himself out.

thanks for response, he said hes not injecting but i dont believe or seem to trust any of his circle anymore, just more lies and deciept, he did try to inject 4 yrs ago i found him, hardly had any life in him, think it frightened him, so no after 4yrs hes back dabbling again, hes not seeking help just getting subtec from a mate, he said hes only taking a bag for every 2 days, will subtec hold him? and is a bad every 2 days alot? i know nothing about this as i never did drugs i dont even drink, just need to help him, he wants help so he says but who knows
By the sounds of it he doesnt have a big habbit, although i would question a bag every 2 days. Most users i knew would use at least a bag a day.
If he is taking subs they block out opiates because they block the 2 receptors in the brain and tricks your brain into thinking it has had opiates when it hasnt. If he does use whilst on them he will feel sick.
Are you from the US as it may be easier there to get them on prescription? In the UK i waited months and never got them. Thats why i went to jail to do it.
Hope this helps,
Dale

hi, im from the uk, a friend of mine was a big time user he went to jail to get help too, hes doing a long stretch tho.
my bro does seem like he wants to get off it but he could be lying i dont even know whether hes on subbies or filling my head with crap which seems about right, when he told me was he was doing he kept telling me he loved me and that i shouldnt tell my parents as hes trying to get off it,again another lie it seems, i dont trust him its driving me crazy

I was a heavy user too - about 7grms a week. Im from wales and here the detox programmes are crap. I went to jail at the end of 2001 and got out the end 2004, but went back on it a year later. I found myself in a situation i didnt want to be in. I knew from before that the only way i could do it was to put myself in jail again. I cant tell you what will be the best for him because everyone is different. As for the people he is bothering with, dont trust them as far as you can throw them.
i dont trust them at all, think im gonna have to keep my eye on him and give him a goal to set, or i will tell my parents and they can deal with him as i cant cope with my little bro being on that s*** breaks my heart, will kill my mum and dad as they went through it before with him, he also said that he has contol over it but i found out earlier that hes been on it for 5 months so to me he cant have that much control on it,surely after 5 months use u would be on more than a bag every 2 days, i was talking to him today at 10 this moring he had already had a toot so i know hes totally independant on it as he had to wake up and take it.
If hes using 1st thing in the morning then hes obviously clucking. Ive tried doing in part time and within 2 weeks i had a habit. After 5 months he definatley has a habit. Tell your mother and father because they deserve to know and you need their support. I never told my girlfriend i was on it but she knew for a long time before i told her that i was on it. They might already have an idea.
Ive got to go to bed now, but I'll log on tomorrow if you need anymore help.
