I'm 26 years old andI'mstill on heroin and have been on the shit for 2 years now, I've also got hep-c, so life sux at the moment.

My friend rocked up with a cap and im feeling a lot better now. What a shame, when your hooked of this crap you only use to keep feeling normal, i cant remeber the last time i felt great after using.

I don't know if it's still needed, but to get off the H it's better to ask help from some others, people say it's hard to get of the H but it didn't take too long, about 3-4 days, but those days are really hell.


If someone asked me to help him, I'd put him in a room without windows and only a bed, lock him up for 4 days, only give him food and water and just wait, it will be hard but it's the best for him.

people say crazy things like looking someone in a room when we know that a true junkie would get out and back in before anyone knew! It's almost impossible for a h addict to detox themself! I said almost! You really have to want it and than some! Don't forget you are programed to get high and it will call on day 2 or three! Get to some meetings and get some benzo's to sleep so you don;t use that old excuse "I need a night sleep, i'll just do a bag" How many times have yiu done that? Getting alittle methadone wouldn;t hurt, you are not God and should not be expected to do the impossible.

Having never got into the stuff, I wouldn't really know, but some mates and I were having a discussion about how we'd try and do this.



Cigarettes - lots of them. A few hundred to last the time.

Weed - lots and lots of pre-rolled joints. Surely spending the whole time ripped out of your brain has to make it a bit easier.

Beer - same as above.



A room with not much in it - no windows, maybe a mattress for a bed, and a bucket to piss/shit in.



Lock yourself in there, get a mate to keep an eye on you for the few days, and fight it. Might seem like hell for a few days, but at the end, you'll be better for it.
