how u do this without escalatting dosing
after nearly 20 years of on/off addiction and finding myself in jail for about the 15th time i had a 'moment of clarity', to quote pulp fiction. i just realized that i couldn't do this shit lifestyle any more, however i still knew full well i liked heroin and didn't want to never use again. i realized the way i look at and use heroin was wrong. now i look at heroin as totally recreational, like going to a sports game or the cinema, you don't sit in the cinema all day everyday, nor would you live at your sports ground. you go and enjoy an evening every now and then, then get back to your normal life. rather than heroin being a lifestyle that you live constantly. people think its the withdrawals that pulls you in and retains you into that lifestyle, but its all mind over matter and how you look at it. i don't think gov propaganda and prison/rehab drug courses help in instilling this ideal into users heads either when they preach about the 'evils' of heroin and tell people 'once you're hooked, you can't stop', and all that bullshit.
that and i keep a few tramadols and small amount of methadone linctus at home for emergencies. only use very small doses tho, the bare minimum and only take more when i start to withdraw, which is usually 2 1/2 - 3 days, not daily like they dish that shit out to you in clinics.
