Yeah. so TL:DR about my post: No matter what end of the happiness or mental health spectrum you are on, using heroin leads you down a miserable path and scars can be shameful.

I've been at both ends of the spectrum. When I was happy and content with life and had the money to pay my mortgage, travel and live the shit out of life yes, I enjoyed the shit out of heroin. It didn't matter though that I had money and a great life eventually though. Being dope sick and being on drugs affects your mental health and it if it wasn't before it is now. Not everyone who becomes addicted is trying to compensate for their problems. YOu also assume that people who are fucked up mentally only try to make up for it in unhealthy ways. That if they do try to using drugs, that they don't try to be happy in any other way. I don't know where you are gathering this from or if this is an attempt tp psycho analize me.

I disagree with you that someone who is happy doesn't cling as strong to a substance. When I started using opiates I was very happy. I had a life most people work their entire lives for and never achieve. I think you are making too many assumptions. You are assuming that someone on the lower end of the happiness spectrum doesn't actually know happiness exists and that a substance is the only way and that people who are happy don't get as much satisfaction out of drugs. I'm not even sure how my post even suggests it is trying to debate the science of addiction.

If you don't mind me asking, how old you are you, what your DOC is, and ROA?
