I’m Addicted to Herion, I Need Help.?

Question by Why.: I’m addicted to herion, I need help.?
Before I say anything and people immediately start criticizing me (even though they have every right, and probably should) I just wanted to make it known how hardnit is for me to even write this, and to even accept the fact that I’m an addict, and I have no one to blame but myself. It’s ruining my life, I’m only 16 and I want to be a better person. I can’t and I won’t continue like this.

I have grown up with junkie parents. Both have shot up in front of me, both have smoked in front of me, and both have even taken acid in front of me. I don’t want this to seem like an excuse, because I know it’s not. It was my decision but I thought it might provide insight into why I’m like I am.

At 14, I was encouraged by my mother to try herion. I was used to preparing things for my parents, and didn’t really think of it as anything out of the norm for any person. I thought it only natural to try it as well, so at 14, I had my first hit, my first real shoot up. Even writing about it now is almost boiling my blood with the need to shoot up again, because of the eurphoric feelings it created in me, as well as the feelings of ease, and the fact that for a little while, I didn’t have to worry about cleaning my mother and father up, I dint have to worry that when I went to school I didn’t have food, I didn’t have to worry that sooner rather then later, I expected my parents to never wake up.

That use has continued until 4 weeks and three days ago. I’ve tried many many times to give up, but it’s almost a if there is a person inside my head that says ‘you know you’ll feel better if you take just one hit. You know you need it’.
It’s been hell trying and failing to give herion up, especially with the constant use around me.

6 months ago my father died from a herion overdose, despite the fact that he’d been into rehab not 2 months prior. I don’t want the same fate to happen to me, or my mother, but I fear it’s too late for her.
I want to change my life. Please help me.

Quitting is shitty, not going to lie. Life without h sucks, but it’s honestly better than being sick most of the time. But 4 weeks and 3 days? Dude, that’s awesome! I’m quitting as well, and I’m on day 20. You’re over the worst part, and as time goes by your cravings will continue to decrease. You might need a change of environment, have you considered a sober living house? Or attending NA meetings? Anyway, good luck!
