You know how when you’re driving along and it’s pouring down rain. Then you drive under a bridge and everything stops. Everything goes silent and it’s almost peaceful.
Thats how I would describe shooting heroin...
The only problem is you finally get out from under the bridge and everything hits you a even harder than before.
Back in the day heroin was my escape from the craziness of my life. Instead of dealing with my problems I would just ignore them away with drugs. They were my respite. However the problems didn’t go away, they actually compiled on each other and worsened. When I would come out of my sedated state of mind I would find all my old problems along with a whole mountain of new ones. My life just got crazier and crazier, the drugs numbed me less and less. This went on until death seemed like my only way out, I truly welcomed the thought and got extremely reckless with my use. I can recall waking up in a hospital after an overdose bitter and completely ungrateful that my friend dialed 911 to save my life.
Today however I am nothing but grateful to be here and I am enjoying life on a whole new level. Just the simple fact that all the pain and misery I went through serves a purpose to help someone else means the world to me and has given my life purpose.
What changed?
I simply accepted the help from someone who lived in similar shoes before. If you can relate to anything I'm saying and need help please let me know and I will reach out and do my best.
One thing I noticed about Hive is communities. When you post you can choose a specific community. For example, if a post is about healing then you can post in naturalmedicine and that community will support you. Take some time to explore communities on Hive.

Thankyou for sharing it with us. Appreciated.
ENGAGEtokens.Thanks @mineapoly - I'm glad you shared this. There's a lot of people in #naturalmedicine who are recovering addicts or use mindfulness strategies/meditation/herbs to counter addiction or keep them from addictive vices that might harm them. Thanks @recoveryinc for this important post. I always appreciate the hard self work it takes to come off heroin - not an easy thing. My best friend went down that path once - now she's a senior vipassana meditator teacher. Thank god she survived three overdoses - the world needed her, as it needs you.
