I've died myself, but they brought me back in the hospital. I had a heroin induced stroke as well. Still can't lift my right arm above my head without a little strain.
I'm 29 and I would trade in the last 7-8 years of my life in a heartbeat for one without heroin. I've been off the dope now for 8 months and I'm seriously committed to quitting for good this time. I wish you the best, that **** is pure evil. I was spending about $100 a day for years. Now i'm clean but living at my parents house washing dishes for a living even though I have a business degree.
But you're right OP, the only way you will be able to quit is if you really want to quit.
Well at least you have a strength in you that sadly too many of our addict brothers dont, . Theres too many a man who always said he would and never did,. Dont get down about washing dishes or whatever you do, Im glad to hear that you honestly want too, I think thats like 80% of the battle,.
Yeah Ive had the conversation a few times, . A real heroin high, . etc.. Im happy with what smoking does for me,. Like im sure you know all too well, its so much easier to control your habit with smoking then banging, plus the nasty track marks would be a serious turn off for my girlfriend,. But lots of strength to you and thanks for the reply, if ya ever want to talk or whatever just send me a pm with where ya want to,. Its hard beginning a sober life, well if you ever want to relive stories without relapsing, Im your man.
