I am a suppressant or and heroin addict (i suppose).What can I do?Please,no offensive answers,im oversensitive?
I hated depressants. I tried heroin at 21, i am 26.I never drove off the board, i always snorted it. Occasionally i swallow several pam pills. Lexotanil, xanax etc, but never combine them with H. I get stuck when I am in my home city but when I leave to the other city I live I am a different person. However whenever Iget back to motherland the first thing I do is to snort some H. It feels so nice that I cant avoid it. Then I leave again and I go on with my normal life. In other words, i flert with H for some days and then leave for some months and become a human being again. I had once or twice suffered from cold turkey. H is always in my mind though. That feeling... How can I get rid of it? Please answer only if you have something essential to say from experience, and dont bother to answer if you never tried H. I feel terrified in a way Thank you.

For any dual diagnosis bipolar plus heroin addicts out there?
We have a family member that is struggling with a " dual diagnosis" bipolar disorder and substance addiction. Drug of choice is Heroin, but will take whatever is available.As members of this person's concerned family we'd like to know from somebody who had the same problem what helped you? This person is a late aged teenager, has been through multiple residential rehabs months in duration , only to return to home to intensive outpatient, psychiatrist and personal counselor support, along with NA meetings and do it all again. All of us in the family are ready to get off this roller coaster of horror and the parents are ready to withdraw all support and let this young adult sink or swim on her own, as they've exhausted the family finances and fear for the rest of the families' safety. This is a nice middle class educated family, not abusive nor others in the immediate family with addiction issues.If you have been this teenager and are currently doing well, we'd love to hear from you while we know every situation is different, we're out of ideas. Honest and sincere suggestions would be deeply appreciated.18 years and we'd love to have court initiated treatment although currently in residential yet again by their own choice but this person, when clean and even when using, is very intelligent and can speak quite logically to the court. No way to gain control because if incompetence...and we've tried the police and they can't help either. They said " it's illegal to possess drugs but not to take them" so if they " only" find her high, there's nothing they can do. Jail would be a relief to all of us, but this person has never been caught.We've been in the group support for the past year, but not currently. We're kind of burned on on teaching tough love to the new folks and regardless of how tough we all are, she's not better. I fear this person has lost the ability to live at the parents' home and none of the rest of us will volunteer our home. We know what would happen. Robbed blind and drug dealers coming to the house.

What to do with heroin addicted loved one?
My boyfriend has been doing heroin off and on for a year. He's been lying to everyone and continuing to use. I gave him the ultimatum today, rehab or never speak to me again... He didn't choose rehab. His brother, who he lives with has cut him off, I have cut him off, all of his friends that aren't using have cut him off, but his parents continue to support him by paying for his cell phone, car, insurance, rent, school tuition and paycheck. We have all gone to them, pleading that they cut him off, as they are the last support system he has that is letting him continue to use. They refuse and say that it is their responsibility to pay for all of his things and are admitting that he is using heroin but that he needs to figure out how to quit himself. What do you suggest the people who care about him do? I have already cut him off and refuse to speak with him, I have pleaded with his parents to quit enabling and they continue to do so? Is there any other choice or just move on with my life?

Are my friends heroin addicts? (I'm serious)?
So my night started out with two friends that I see a lot. We then had some people over that we hadn't seen in a year. Once we invited them over one of them asked to use the bathroom. Her boy friend then said he needed to use it after. So both of them went down stairs and used the bathroom. Then the last one went down stairs to use the bathroom too. They stayed for a bit, smoked a bowl, and then one of them went down to use the bathroom again. The three of them left and we thought they had to be doing heroin and not cocaine because they would be sniffing a lot. If they are heroin addicts do they usually have herpes because we are now in fear that when we smoked with them we may have contracted the herps.
