How to intervene a heroin addiction. please help me?
I would really like it if someone who has actually suffered from this horrible addiction could offer their advice, but any is fine.My best friend, who has already a destructive personality he's gay, very intimidating, stubborn, extremely independent, headstrong, easily depressed,pessimistic, has a lot of time on his hands etc. just recently picked up heroin again he has in the past but got over it . Ive tried talking to him about it briefly and he says that he really has nothing to live for anyway and he's happier this way so let him be, and to not worry about him. But naturally I do. I want what makes him happy since it's few and far between, but I cant just stand around waiting for him to over dose or something awful. It's already hard enough being around his " shell" . He is socially withdrawn, sometimes really mean, keeps himself isolated, barely speaks etc. Can someone please help me by offering the right ways of approaching someone with his personality type? I feel like I'm loosing him. PLEASE HELP.

How do I move on from a heroin addiction?
I am 53 days clean today after a 2 year heroin addiction. I have tried to get clean so many times in the past and have never made it past a week or so. I am now in an intensive outpatient 5 days a week, and attend NA regularly. I have also suffered from depression for the past 10 years. Now that I am off heroin, I can't explain the depressed, down, sad, lonely, and confused feelings I have. No matter what I do right now, I cannot get using off my mind. It haunts my dreams, I have extremely vivid using dreams, to the point where I wake up and feel like I'm in physical withdrawal again. I am wondering how long I have to feel so ashamed and sad, and wondering how long I have to live with this addiction haunting me and remaining so strongly in the forefront of my mind. I try and stay distracted I read, I play with my kids, I play video games, anything at all to distract myself but the second I stop whatever I'm doing I feel the addiction pulling and dragging me down so far that I can't help but wonder if I'll ever feel okay again. I never feel okay. I am lonely as my clean friends from before my addiction swore me off long ago, and my using friends I don't talk to or associate with anymore. I don't know how to get past this and I am asking for anyone's experience or advice. Serious answers only please.

Heroin addiction...crystal meth....dextroamphetamine?
heroin addicts who are willingly trying to get off, or more usually being forced off one way or another are prescribed Crystal methadone LEGALLY in Ireland by medics, Im not sure of the procedure outside the country, its irrelevant anyway to me... Crystal meth is a highly addictive drug....now there after developing a new drug, dextroamphetamine....to help heroin addicts who were given Crystal meth to get off the heroin in the first place, to get them off the crystal meth..... I think its a huge waste of resources, time, research and life Because people are dying inevitably daily from the addiction to pass addicts from one addiction to the other, while there not solving the problem of addiction....merely prolonging it and worsening it ?? Is it just me that thinks this?? ok and i dont want one worded answers....unless there not from idiots here we have both, but crystal meth is more common.see smart ppl like OPC Are actually educating me thanks im too tired for this I need bed just post anything else you know cos im confusing myself
