    What got me hooked was how insanely painful and uncomfortable the withdrawals of not having it was. Pretty hard to stop when you feel like your dying without it. Its hard but if your dedicated you can do it.

  • @BL00DYME55
    @BL00DYME55 2 дня назад

    All these comparisons (warm bath, cold drink, etc.) are just poor attempts at trying to explain to non-users what it feels like. In reality none of these examples come even close to what you actually feel. There really isn't an easy way to explain it in words. It's like somebody turns off the depression/stress switch in your brain, and suddenly the world is so peaceful and beautiful. You could be stuck outside soaking wet in the rain in freezing winter weather with no shelter or food, but none of this bothers you. In fact the rain feels really nice and peaceful, the cold air just feels like a fresh summer night breeze, you absolutely dont care about food, hunger isn't even a concept you understand right now, you're just staring at the clear night sky and you understand how beautiful life really is. You're the most chill and carefree person in the world. Having said that, this high is just borrowing the happiness and euphoria from your future self. In 12-18 hours you will have to pay all that happiness back tenfold. The withdrawal is truly horrible, both physical and emotional/mental pain. All your muscles and bones ache, you get constant pins and needles all over your skin, you get constant stomach cramps and you run to the toilet every hour, you dont have the strength to even stand up, but you also can never get comfortable so you twist and turn in bed non-stop, you're covered in sweat, but you're also shaking from cold, but now you're too hot, now you're too cold again, I'm so tired I want to sleep, but the light is too bright and it's giving me a headache, and the constant intrusive suey-cy-dal thoughts just wont stop, I just need one more hit and then I'll stop I promise just anything to stopthispainPLEASESOMEBODYHELP!!!... That's kinda how it feels. EDIT: There is a whole other aspect to the addiciton. Like, losing interest in everything else in life, all your hobbies, interests, friends, relationships, career, everything becomes pointless, and the only thing you're looking forward to is the next dose. That's when all the problems start piling up - missed rent, debts, health issues, friends and family leaving you. You may not care about any of it in the moment, but eventually when you come back to reality (and you WILL have to come back to reality), all these problems will be there waiting for you. So if you ever think "I wont get addicted, I'm stronger that the others" - no you're not. Everyone thinks that, and everyone falls into the same trap. This is coming from an ex-addict of 6 years (now 8 years sober). Don't do drugs.

    I begged juvenile probation officer s and cops to "allow" me to drug test my daughter. She called cops on me for reading her FB messenger as a minor. Kids now have more rights than parents. Laws are against us. I even had her in therapy and on juvenile probation and they refused to even u a drug test her. Stay praying 🙏 and thanking God in advance. Praying is parents only true weapon now.

    The best way i can describe the feeling of withdrawal is yoyr entitr body is hurting as if yoy have the flu, you feel like you have restless legs syndrome as in your legs feel like they're being poked prodded and you HAVE to get up and walk around to get relief. I went nearly a week without getting any real sleep. If it wasnt for the fact that i had been used to it due to military service i probably would have killed myself. Due to lack of sleep injuries werent healing, i was hallucinating, i was in an extremely pissy mood because i was exhausted. It was just overall a bad situation. If you think your a strong willed person and that you can fight it, your wrong. I despised Army basic training and would rather go through that 10 week hell than go through withdrawal symptoms. For anyone wanting to use, hit me up we can talk about it ill be honest and straight forward with you on it. Now i am a network server supervisor and have been clean for 10+ years. I ended up getting help via the VA.

Dealers are more than happy to supply it for a price & aren't interested in cutting you off......ever. The next thing the patient knows is they are fully addicted to the illicit product.

    when this video first came out it was around 2019 i was 14 at the time. in 2020 i was in a bad headspace hanging with the wrong crowd of girls. we were at this one girls house and she asked us if she wanted to try heroin. (keeping in mind this video) i replied in a respectful no- thankfully no peer pressure. the 4 girls had done it and me waiting in the living room waiting for them to be finished. two girls invited me back in the room while the others were nodding off and blacked out and the 2 who invited me in where barely able to talk. a few minutes go by and eventually they all black out so i called 000. the girls went to hospital and 1 passed away. to this day im thankful to have came accross this video and have the strength to say no. thanks to brave sky i didnt die from an overdose. to anyone struggling with peer pressure with any substances keep in mind ITS OKAY TO SAY NO! 🤍

I drove to the hospital the other day, as I was driving I had an overwhelming feeling that I was dying and it was so real I literally thought it was my end. I got to the hospital and no symptoms of panic or anxiety were there, no issues were found. Only thing was my blood pressure was up and down so really high and really low. They sent me home after 12 hrs with no meds. Am I the only one this has happened to??

    THis is common, I was bullied badly at school then at home when i acquired a toxic step family ,I was consumed with a need to recoup the power that was being take from me. I took it out on two friends, one in particular. I hate to think i was responsiblle for someone lying in bed at night dreading school the next day. I experienced the same thing. With time i gained wisdom and learned about doing unto others as you would have them do to you. I did my best to make amends. The people who made my life hell never made amends and that;s fine. i resolved it in my own head. THis was four decades ago. I think today perspective has been lost. THe slightest bit of teasing is bullying.

He started chemo last May Radiation in December and The 5th March rushed him to the ER as he was having trouble breathing. He was told he was terminal 2 weeks later but still he wouldn’t give up, I had the pleasure of having my Son home with me for 2 weeks before the pain was unbearable and I couldn’t manage it with oral medicine. My baby died in my arms Wednesday night fighting until his last breath as the tumour was all over his lungs and his heart rate had been over 145 for weeks. I am trying to get the noise the eyes pleading with me to make it better out of my head, forever broken. I want my baby back.

She and all other angel babies are forever loved and remembered ❤
