My problem...I managed to chip for about five years. My problem was that I thought at the beginning I'd been fed a pack of lies about how addictive it was. It didn't give me a comedown and actually made me feel better the next day. So that continued for quite some time. But the times in between became increasingly more difficult, depressing and all I could think of was heroin. Two weeks ago I had my first overdose from injecting. Before that I fell down the stairs and smashed my head off the wall. I'd say good servant bad master, but to be honest it's the kind of servant who would lie to you and steal all your money over a prolonged period. I lost the woman I truly love and have never been as depressed as I am now in my second week of withdrawal. I wish I'd never tried it.

Wondering what I'll be asked to do today to prove I'm not a robot! Anyway, after reading some of your blog yesterday and stories (one about you and your mum and Geoff and his painkillers with the eventual use of crack and smack), I got so engrossed that I didn't score! Again! I've got my meth script so don't need to use....but I get tempted. Haven't scored today either. Only looked in one place, and took some valium instead. I've been good on the whole though. What's happening with your move back to the UK? My 'essay' was a story about myself and my dabbling, going through different stages of 'addiction'. Times when,looking back, I thought my addiction was worse than it was. It was psychological first. The full addiction came on pretty quick! From weekend use to being emaciated from not eating food unless I was offered a meal, within under a year. Worked full time during this, like you. Also, dunno if anyone else is reading this bar Shane, but if a user tells you "they don't use much" or "I'm not addicted yet" or just talk about it for no reason, without subject being brought up...they're usually talking shit! People who haven't got problems usually don't speak of their problems!

They're always gobbling up words. I always write either on a word doc or using a new email (as it autosaves ever few seconds) and then copy and paste into the comment form. I can't remove the robot thing or the site gets swamped in spam mail and all the subscribers unsubscribe as every spam mail also goes to the subscribers email.

I agree that most chippers don't make it past the 5-year mark, but the example of 10+ years I gave is exceptional but genuine: because it was me. I wouldn't lie to you, your are too brutally honest. I dabbled from 1988 to 2000, and then existence threw an unbearable pain at me, and my knowledge of the cosmic analgesic effects of the drug I had used occasionaly for so long became useless against the desire to kill that pain daily, in order to continue. Beats suicide, that's for cowards. OK, I'm an exception, but I was a poly-drug user taking dozens of different drugs every week (still am), which helped put H in its place. But it grew bigger like the terrible existential monster it is, and gobbled me up. I've now been spat out at the other end. End of story (for now).

I think the longest chipper I ever knew was 4 years or so. But still, the horse ran to the same form you state: going along at an even clip for years, taking small bracken fences in it's stride, then one day, without warning, it is picking itself up off the ground, stunned and broken, with mayhem and carnage strewn out to the horizon. That should be the end. And it would be... if it wasn't for heroin. And so, what for all those years was a drug which made the strangeness of sundays seem beautiful, now it's used to clear the rubble and make the unacceptable acceptable. The tragedy still exists... there is still mayhem on all sides, but now there is also a route through. And that's what heroin gives. It pushes all the shit of life to the sides and allows you to carry on unhindered. <br /><br />BUT, the addiction didn't start with the fall. Its rooted much further back... back to when the body first ever realised that heroin cures pain. From that point on addiction was kinda sitting in suspended animation, waiting for this day.Memoirs of a Heroinheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17401281805284793756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9193316819499446317.post-44688072875670616412011-07-19T17:48:51.820+02:002011-07-19T17:48:51.820+02:00The critical missing component with the question &...The critical missing component with the question 'can someone use heroin without getting addicted?', as you imply in your response Shane, is 'for how long?'. I am sure Shane can think of his own examples, but I have know people who have been chippers (weekend users, dabblers) for as long as 10 to 15 years - THEN what usually happens is that life throws some painful shit at them (death, divorce, unemployment etc.) - and heroin abhors a mental vacuum. In other words, once you experience a certain critical level of physical and/or emotional pain, and/or you suddenly have a lot of free time on your hands, then you start to increase your frequency of heroin use, in order to cope. Daily use for between 3 and 6 weeks will inevitably result in physical addicition. In short, your naughty secret dabble becomes a daily demanding devil - welcome to the junkie club as a full member, your guest status just expired.The Pseudo-Impostorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12006295614821867803noreply@blogger.com
