HELP! I Feel Like “using” Today (I’m a Recovering Addict), Can Anyone Help Talk Me Out of It?
Question by Chloe: HELP! I feel like “using” today (I’m a recovering addict), can anyone help talk me out of it?
Is there some sort of hotline?
I’m a recovering Heroin addict. I’ve been on the Methadone program for 2 years (it was a last resort, I know a lot of people think Methadone is just a substitue but my alternative was death or jail) and I’m finally detoxing. I made the mistake of trying Heroin last week and discovered that I can get high again (Methadone usually blocks the Heroin effects (euphoria) when at a proper dose). Since then, I’ve gotten high 4 times. I want to use just one more time today! I KNOW, every addict says that. It’s all I can think about.
Heroin Addiction Symptoms and Signs
An opiate that belongs to the morphine-codeine family, heroin goes by the chemical name of diacetylmorphine. This vastly illegal drug is derived from the opium poppy.
Heroin is among the easiest of drugs to become addicted to. Many heroin addicts need no more than just one attempt at the drug to become addicted, even if mildly at first. Like many other drugs, heroin is used intravenously, or through smoking or snorting through the nostrils. Of these, the method most abusers prefer is injection, because the effect that is got from this method is considered the highest. This makes it the most popular method of use of heroin.
Effects of heroin: Heroin has its own way of working on the system. It primarily acts on the central nervous system initially. It starts acting within seven seconds of ingestion, when taken intravenously. In the few seconds of its being absorbed into the system, heroin can cause euphoria.
