For the last 3-4 months, I have on and off been using 40mg oxycontins. Only about twice a week. Three days ago I used herion for the first time, not injecting it but snorting it. I have used twice, and there is nothing to justify the stupidity. I have been dealing with drug addiction for the last five years, and I am only 18 years old. I have never stepped this far in the hole, and I am scared that this two time use I can never recover from. I am telling myself I will never do it again, but when the urge to do it constantly creeping up on me? Even though it was only twice will I feel any withdrawl effects? I've heard time and time again that for someone people it only takes once to get hooked, but I am just trying to prepair myself for the worst, and I don't want to see myself in a rehab center in the future. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Good Morning, NeedAnsr,

And "Welcome to our Board!
I am the resident insomniac, usually posting on the "grave-Yard shift.!!!! Your story kinda sounds like mine. I too started getting high at 13 years old. And by 16, I was snorting heroin. By 17, I was shootig up. I wasn't as smart as you seeking help so early. If what you are saying is true ( on this Board, NO ONE ever criticises you, no matter what you admit to), You will have no physical withdrawals if you stop right now. The mental cravings for it will now be with you because it is a powerful high.
In the words of JIMI Hendrix ( Are you expierienced ???) Now you are..... So, stay smart,and leave it alone. If you keep on saying "I'm just gonna do it one more time", believe me ,it will start telling you when to do it. It happens that fast......

Keep posting back to this Board, as I am sure others will want to speak with you also, Chef,is another one who has "been there". You will be surprised at how many people here will want to help you. You just have to be strong in the mind, Little Brother, and then maybe you can advise other people about "The Devil's Gold-Dust"........

Take Good Care NeedAnsr,

Kinda-Unwell

NeedAnsr,

You know the answer already. Don't ever touch it again. It will ruin your life and so will the oxys. We are all speaking from experience. You are too young to be a drug addict. You cannot imagine what you will experience if you continue on this path. All I can say is please don't ever use it again and if you feel that the cravings for it are too strong, start going to AA or NA. You are doing a great job by coming here and hopefully, you can stop this by yourself but if you continue, you will not have any control over these drugs and you will not be able to quit by yourself. Please, don't do it. It's not worth it.

you wont feel any w/d's from 2 days use of heroin but let me tell ya somethin short...i used heroin for a year/half...i ran it...shot it in my veins...i saw two guys die from runnin a normal load...there must have been a solid rock of heroin inside the cap and they didnt see it...they said..wow this is good stuff and fell over,turned blue and died...not too cool,eh...the only reason i quit was my dealer went to miami to cop and when he came back to his house he sat down and was ready to shoot a cap when two guys busted in for the dope and cash...they were in w/d's...they shot him and killed him....i hate to say it but that saved my life...i lost my truck,300,000 home,wife and kids to opiate addiction...if you lived in my shoes you would tell people like you to stay away....its a great buzz...ijnstant gratification...but it aint worth the consequences your gonna pay,boss............chef

Hi-
Run/run/run...as fast as you can..don't go near that **** again..or you will end up like me.That stuff does not discriminate..you will go down and fast..and then you will be enslaved forever..when you get off it..if you can..it will follow you around/never to be truly free. :nono:
That was my biggest mistake..i thought i could mess around..you know..weekends/after a show..the next thing you know..im strung out sick as a dog/writhing in pain/selling my guitars/blowing every cent i have..in/out of detox and shooting up in motel rooms/weird scenes of debauchery.
Please..don't go there- iwas warned but i thought i was differant-i could be strong..i could do it "occassionally"..
Wrong!
Now im on suboxone maitainence-was an active user for 8 yrs..and in therapy/meds etc.
Honey..please get help now..i pray you listen to us here..save yourself a lifetime of pain.
