Addiction - is it okay?

[Shinylemon]

SWIM a point of heroin on thursday, and 200mg of morphine on friday. Would it be safe for SWIM to do some H today? or is SWIM gonna head into withdrawals?

Define safe.

You're unlikely to experience any withdrawals after 3 days use.

But you will experience withdrawals after a weeks' continuous use.

And what makes you so sure you'd stop before then?

A bit of history would help - have you ever had a habit before? Are you new to taking opiates? Are you smoking/ snorting/ injecting?

Good questions to ask regarding addiction

In times of controlled use, my hamster goes by the 2-4-2 method. This is two days of opiate use followed by four days of abstinence, etc... He finds that three or more consecutive days of strong opiate use will leave him feeling too rough to cope with day to day activities without a little somethin' somethin' to get him through. For someone who is new to opioid use, it may take a little longer to develop a habit. It seems the shorter the time frame between habits, the easier it is to pick one back up.

In SWIM's experience, 3 days straight and you might have trouble sleeping the fourth night, along with an anxiety for a day or two over something that you feel like you vaguely know, floating around on the edge of your consciousness, but can't really put your finger on.

If you've been addicted before and relapsed before, you know that anxiety is your brain/body telling you to get your ass some fucking heroin right now. As long as you don't know that though, you might be safe from the beginnings of a physical addiction. Oppps, forget I said that.

Swiy should be fine but swim thinks it looks like swiy is walking on the edge of withdrawal if it keeps up.
