    Are you trying to decide whether or not you want to try it?

    If every person who wanted to try heroin had to go through what that dude did in that scene, the heroin problem in the world would drop off the map. [​IMG]

    Also, I have not seen the movie yet, but I heard that Requiem for a Dream is the movie for someone to watch if they need to convince themselves to not start taking drugs. From what I have read, it is one of the most disturbing movies you could watch......... I can't wait to see it. In my opinion, the disturbing movies are the ones that actually have something to say.

    Check out the Lycaeum for all the drug knowledge you could possibly want. It has everything from what chemicals are in each and every drug, what the effects are, what the side effects are, and even trip reports. Some of the trip reports are funny, some are insightful, some are sad, and some are downright terrifying. All in all, its an excellent site for this kind of stuff.

    I have already seen trainspotting ive seen reqium for a dream and ive seen permanent midnight. and obviously they all show the horrible consequences, that toilet scene, jared leto's arm falling off, and ben stiller estranging himself from everyone he cared about. but yet there is still a certain beauty in that moment. the moment before you are about to ruin your life. you probably are up so high before it all comes crashing down.

    it seems to me im just wasting my life anyway. just day after day im filled with this pain and nothingness. and sometimes it really doesnt matter to me what happens anymore. but i wouldnt even know where to go about getting the stuff. i was just curious as to what it felt like. thanks for the website addresses.

    Holden: I won't pretend to know what you are feeling, but suffice it to say that I think I have a general idea.

    If you ever need to discuss anything, please feel free to email me a jeff@clutchcity.net . Depression is awful and painful but it helps to talk about it.

    I have a good friend who tried all kinds of **** back in her day. Here is one tale that was related to me:

    The high from heroin is very similar to the high from crack in one instance in particular: The first time is pure paradise. If you get hooked, you spend your addiction trying to duplicate that first high. Essentially, you're chasing that very first euphoric feeling. It always eludes you. Somewhere in the middle of experimenting and having fun, your life gets destroyed.

    Its one thing to be curious. Hey, I'm curious as to what it feels like. I would never do it though.

    Find some help, my Rocket Brother. People on this site do care about each other.

    Holden: My step-brother, who I'm very close to, got out of rehab for heroine last April. He'd used other drugs before, and had remained an honor student/lacrosse player, so he thought heroin would be no big deal once he got to college. He was wrong. He dropped out mid-way through freshman year at UNT, lost his gf of a year and a half, and ended up homeless for 2 months. He only entered rehab after he and his best friend hit, and then his friend died in his arms. I can't tell you how much I hate heroin. Please, don't ever, ever touch it. He's recovered mostly now, but before... he was the funniest guy I've ever known. Now, he's still funny, but there's something dark there. He was so out of his mind when his friend died that he thought he was just passed out, and took pictures. I've seen those pictures, of his dead friend in a bathtup, and they've burned into my memory like few other things. That's reality. Screw the hype, screw rebellion, it's not worth it.

    I've never tried heroine, but I have experimented with a few drugs... and I thought I could take or leave any of them. Sort of fun, just not worth the risk.
    I'm not some moralist trying to demonize drugs... but heroin is just too addictive and dangerous. Please stay away.

    I have been at that stage...not the heroin stage, but the 'f#ck this' about life stage...

    I guess that lasted through my mid 20's...and their was more than one occasion where I couldn't have cared less if it all ended. It just didn't bother me and I was living my life that way...

    I am now 30 and things are cool. I married a great lady last year who is like a soul partner to me...she is a very strong Buddhist and she definitely calmed me and helped me get rid of all that depressive ****...the future is exciting if you look at what's their in life, rather than what's not.

    I have friends who also went through big depressions...the way it is now, two of us are married and happy, one has a baby on the way...one just travelled Europe to find himself...and one is a brain dead vegetable who rots away in a small bed at his parents place, we visit him occasionally but it's too painful to see...

    I am no drug moralizer...but he was the only one out of all of us f#cking stupid enough to take heroin. I hate the drug because of what it did to him...

    People get over depressions mate...but they don't get over heroin if it goes wrong. Hang in their, read a good book, find a good friend to travel with...meet a nice lady...just at least give all of those things a go before you f#ck your life completley...

    Holden man, be careful. I've never been into drugs, but I have friends who have. Thankfully, they've almost all repaired their lives, but I meet lots of homeless people who are doctors, dentists, professionals, former business owners who got into drugs like heroin and are now on the streets.

    Seriously, we've all been at that "the hell with life" stage, but the important thing is to lean on those friends who are there for you -- you have the people on this board, family, and friends nearby. Go hang out with people. Have fun -- play some playstation games, go shoot pool, enjoy yourself -- you'll feel much better. Whatever it is that's being so difficult right now, you don't need the bother and depression -- let all your troubles fade away.

    We'll all be here for you -- give <a href=mailto:vengeance@typicalsituations.com>me</a> or anyone else a holler, and we can talk. Don't worry, everything will be fine . . .

    Holden,

    Relating stories is about the best I can offer. I rarely ever like to relate stories about my best of friends who I have lost. Have you ever read Jim Carroll's "Basketball Diaries" or listened to his "People Who Died"? Sometimes when I want to feel sorry for myself, I think my life is that song.

    At a certain point in my life I stopped giving advice to friends, because it became too painful. Relating stories is too painful. I decided that silence of the past is respect for the past. The best I can do is remember the past and respect those in my past by not turning them into anecdotes, like they are footnotes to my life.

    However, I would like to offer one story to *you*, that I have never offered before.

    One friend of mine never did drugs. He was a school teacher and artist. He got in a car wreck in a parking lot. It partially paralyzed him, but not enough. He could walk with a cane, but could not bare the pain. He struggled with wanting total paralysis versus retaining hope of full recovery from pain and still being able to walk. Over 5 years of debilitating pain he saved $40,000 for special back surgery. It did not work, and his depression increased. He had one last hope,,,,to qualify for a morphine prescription. Morphine and herion relieve you of pain. They take you to a place without pain. He wanted that sooooo badly. He had to present to a medical board over and over to be allowed to go to that place without pain. After months of him showing proof that he had little hope of reversing the pain without opiates, they finally gave him the key.

    He never told any of us. Instead, he invited us out for dinner. At the end of dinner, he told us that he FINALLY got the morphine patch. He was finally without pain. He was soooo thrilled. He told us with tears that he hadn't been so happy in 7 years. He was happy again like we remembered him.

    He got addicted.
    It didn't bring him lasting happiness, and he knew it.
    Eight months ago, he ended it.

    Holden. ScreamingRocketJet and Jeff and many others can offer you one real truth...life can be more beautiful when you make it through troubles.

    peace biscuit
