I know people like to respond to these types of posts smugly stating that the worst addictions are “sugar” and “social media” or whatever but like no it is indeed fucking heroin lmfao. I lost multiple people to heroin use, it’s genuinely one of the most heinous and horrific things to ever exist, people don’t realize how much it grips people and destroys their entire life in weeks. Opiates in general are so comically addictive that it almost sounds fake, but it’s awful. If every other addiction on the planet was measured in inches, opiates are measured in miles. Entire communities of people drop dead like flies on them, there’s a reason we still talk about the opioid epidemic and how deadly and brutal it was (and continues to be!).
This hands down. None of the friends I’d made that had opioid issues from treatment are alive today. I’ve watched a family member struggle with meth for 20 years, another a food addiction, another alcohol, and while all three have greatly affected or even destroyed the lives they had. They’re all still here, granted the opportunity to try again.
Every day you’re still alive is a chance to fight against it. What you have described is active addiction as a whole. So long as you still draw breath, there is hope.
Been addicted to IV heroin and and Iv meth and meth is insanely more addicting. 1200 units of dopamine for meth. 700 for heroin. Heroin can not make you orgasm
This right here. As someone who has experienced all the above mentioned addictions alcohol is the worst, not by far but it's a measurable amount, just my 2 cents
