( Found Myself in the Mist of Heroin Addicts ) In this Blog, I am Talking about the 6 dope addicts that came into my life. Frankly, everyone was fed up with their actions, lies, stealing, abuse, destruction, and no one wanted anything to do with any of them. I felt the same way, most of the time. Sometimes, but seldom, I thought they are humans, and I wanted to reach out and help them. I just wanted to reach out and pull them out of their darkness, but then again, not one of them was reaching back. They were not ready for help. All of them just wanted their drug, dope, Heroin. It's an awful thing. Some tried drug recovery. I Heard there is an 80% failure rate in the program in this city. The mental addiction alone can last 6 months. The 6 addicts have taken about everything I Had, so there is some resentment still lingering on my part. They simply could not be trusted on any level. The couple in their 40's dumped the children on her parents to raise. The grandmother is somewhat sickly. The Heroin addicted couple does not help support the kids. As a Matter of fact, they act like the kids do not even exist at all. The couple's commitment is only to the dope, Heroin Habit. It's Sad, and unacceptable. Imagine how the children feel, they are only around 8 and 10 years old. The whole thing makes me sick, while the couple runs the streets looking to supply the drug any way they can.

Heroin is a highly addictive drug derived from morphine, which is obtained from the opium poppy. It is a “downer” or depressant that affects the brain’s pleasure systems and interferes with the brain’s ability to perceive pain. Sometimes called Big H, Blacktar, Brown sugar, Dope, Horse, Junk, Muc, Skag, Smac

Some 600,000 people in the United States alone are addicted to heroin. About forty-five percent of Americans know someone with a substance abuse problem. Social and health effects of heroin on society are staggering. Drug-related illness, death, and crime cost the nation approximately $66.9 billion.

Message From A Heroin Addict, Writer Unknown

I  remember a time in my life when I used to be able to laugh and smile, have fun, without a care in the world. Life was good. But then along came my  addiction to heroin. Then My Life Became A Living Hell. Lying, Stealing, Whatever I Had To Do To Support My Heroin Habit. My Daily Goal Was To Get My Heroin Fix, Nothing Else Mattered. I Accepted Nothing Other Then Getting Doped Up Every Day. I Would Live Here Or There, Expecting Everyone Else To Supply My Basic Needs, Food, Shelter, Clothing. If I Could Not Find Some Sucker To Support Me, I Would Live In Cars And Fields. It Really Did Not Matter, Nothing Was As Important To Me As My Heroin Habit. Sometimes I'd Steal and Other Times I Would Actually Work, Yet Every Dime I Made Went To Take Care Of My Habit. Sometimes I Made More Money, Then I Would Take More Heroin. Like A Merry-Go-Round  I Went In Circles. I Went Through Rehab Several Times, Just Could Not Stay Clean. Been In Jail More Then Once For Theft. Nothing Has Changed, I Have No Desire To Quit. You Think That I Would Be Motivated To Stop The Heroin Habit. I Cannot Stop. Why? I Do Not Know. I Am An Addict, Many Years Now. I Am A Male, 33, Single, With A Message To Everyone. === Do Not Take Heroin, Take Life As It Comes; It Will Be Much Easier For You. I Am Signing This As Nameless; As I Am No Longer Me. I Do Not Know What Happened To The Real Me. I Vanished Years Ago. Be Warned, Don't Let This Happen To You. Stay Clean, Stay Out Of The Hell I Live In. Funny Thing = This Is The First Time I Have Told The Truth About Anything, For The Last 9 Years.

Whether you are a parent or an individual caught in the clutches of addiction, there are several things that you need to know about heroin and heroin addiction. The following is a list of some of the most important elements of this harmful drug and how it impacts the lives of those who use it. Ten Things to Know about Heroin and Heroin Addiction Heroin can cause serious peripheral health issues. More than almost any other drug, heroin puts the individual at risk for a number of serious health problems not directly associated with the drug itself. IV users who inject heroin are among the most likely people in the world to be stricken with HIV/AIDS or hepatitis as a result of sharing dirty, used needles. Heroin can be ingested several different ways. There are three primary ways that an individual generally ingests heroin: shooting the drug into their veins with a needle, snorting the powder form of heroin, or smoking heroin (often mixed with cocaine). Heroin was once available in a number of different consumer products. In the early part of the 20th Century, heroin was actually the active ingredient in a number of different products, including cough suppressants and morphine addiction curatives. The way people use heroin has changed in recent years. As recently as 15 years ago, over three quarters of all heroin users took the drug by injecting it. Today that number has shrunk to 65%, as the number of individuals snorting heroin has grown. Heroin is costly habit. The average heroin addict spends between $150 and $250 per day on his or her habit. Heroin is being used in our schools. Between 2% – 3% of all high school seniors surveyed state that they will have used heroin at least once by the time they graduate the 12th grade. Heroin detox is NOT rehab. Despite the claims of many facilities, heroin detox treatment is only a part of the heroin addiction recovery process. In order to break the cycle of addiction, an individual must address both the physical heroin dependence (through detox) and the psychological component (through counseling and aftercare). There are a number of street names for heroin. There are a number of colorful slang terms associated with heroin, including: smack, “H”, horse, white horse, junk, train and chiva. Heroin addiction causes heart and liver problems. Two of the most serious long-term effects of heroin addiction are heart disease and liver failure. Heroin addicts rarely seek treatment on their own. A person addicted to heroin is highly unlikely to admit that he or she has a problem on their own. It is usually up to family and friends to step in and make sure the individual gets the heroin addiction treatment help they need.
