What is heroin like?

At what point did you realize you had a problem?

Thank you so much for doing this AMA. I really respect you and will be reading more of your comments to help me understand the journey of someone who struggled with serious addiction.

So do you feel like when you woke up from that dream, the volume was turned down on the rest of your sober life? I would feel like if I've felt the high highs and the low lows of something like heroin, day to day life would be mundane.

Have you been around heroin since you stopped using? What would you feel in your body if you saw heroin now? Would it make your heart race?

You are such a powerful person. I have nothing but respect for the work you are doing.

Is there such a thing as a heroin addict that is too far gone? Maybe a certain personality type that is more naturally attracted to it? Does heroin attract broken people, or does it simply make broken people, or both?

I get that spinning sensation from pretty much every drug. I definitely have that gene. I also have the gene that makes you want to do too much of a good thing - sucks. It's why I will never, never go near heroin.

Good advice. Thanks - Moved to dip from smoking and got more addicted to nicotine >.>

I'll quit one of these days.

Were you addicted to morphine or did your genetics put the brakes on it?
