90 days off Heroin. Little plastic proof of all my hard work.

After seeing my brother and sister go through addiction (one's in jail right now, the other is in rehab several states away from where we grew up. Both were into the drug game very heavily).

There is one fact that nobody seems to understand when they choose to feel bad for some junkie who brags about the fact that he used to do heroin, and that is this...IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR HEROIN WITHDRAWAL TO KILL YOU.

THE ONLY THING THAT KILLS YOU IS DOING HEROIN. WITHDRAWAL IS THE EQUIVELANT TO A BAD COLD, YOU DEAL WITH IT FOR A WEEK, IT'S OUT OF YOUR SYSTEM.

And now here comes the "oh but it's the addiction mentality of heroin is soo different from other drugs". No sorry, it is not, it is simply a more potent high and you chose to do it over and over again because you like the feeling.

The following statement is a medical fact: if you put a heroin addict, who's completely addicted, to the point where they're doing 20 bags of heroin a day, into a room by himself for an entire month and gave him all the food and water he needed, and you did not let him leave that room. They would not die, they would not suffer from anything worse than cramps, vomiting, and they might shit their pants which quite frankly they probably already do on a daily basis. Not like in the full retard I can't control myself kind of way. But in that "Oh shit I just did so much heroin and I'm nodding off while I'm walking down the street and a car almost hits me so I get scared and a little poop comes out." That happens daily, so heroin withdrawal AINT SHIT.

I am sick and fucking tired of heroin addicts acting like it's an accomplishment to NOT do heroin. Oh you DON'T do heroin? CONGRATULATIONS DO YOU WANT A FUCKING COOKIE.

Quitting heroin is not something you should ever brag about, because all your saying is that "I abused the shit out of everyone in my life and all i cared about was putting poison in my body. I have now chosen not to put poison in my body, and I guess I'm trying not to act like an asshole."

I don't care if you pulled yourself up by your little bootstraps, got a job and became a billionaire. Nobody should give you any credit whatsoever for choosing not to do heroin. It is not an accomplishment, and you're a piece of shit for thinking you actually earned something by going 90 days without sticking a needle i your arm.

I'm not even going to go back and edit this because junkies aren't worth my time, this post was a waste of my time because I deal with junkies like you in my every day life and it makes me SICK when you try to get sympathy from gullible people to try to boost your own shattered egos.
