OD Question
How long does it take, after snorting heroin, to realize if you are ODing.
Hey there, are you thinking you might be in trouble right now? Did you snort today?
b4 u know it its 2 late if your asking about yourself..id say your good if its for a friend.... how long has he been knodded out???
said ive never shoot up in my life but eventually snorting wasn't good enough........I remember the days when snorting would do the trick..then I shot it up......ugh progression as a addict *****!!!!
hi sick, I am so sorry for what you are going through. I hope you / your friend / whoever are ok. it is very slow around here right now. I wish I could help you but I do not know the answer to your question. but I care.
Not really nodded it out, just a little, but they want to go to sleep. Is it ok to sleep or will something happen when he sleeps?
The biggest danger is respiratory failure. Take him to a hospital. If to think there is a danger of overdose, your choices seem to be to either get him medical help or watch him closely and pray he doesn't die. I am not being rude. Really I'm sorry about your situation but I don't think this is an incident that should be handled over the internet.
As you all probably surmised, I am asking about myself. I've been pill free since May 8, 2013 but I've been dabbling a little with H. I didn't have much but I threw up and I have a head ache (hard opiates give me a headache) I don't want to go to the ER. I was with an old friend yesterday, who's been clean for 7 1/2 years, and confessed what I've been doing. After I got clean, I never went to a meeting nor therapy. That was a mistake that I am realizing now. My friend made perfect sense and made me feel finally, that I just can't do this alone. He really hit home. However, I wanted to have one last hurrah but I realize how dangerous that can be. He is going to take me to my first meeting, finally!!! I am feeling alright now. My last snort was around 7 pm. I have a headache and I threw up twice. I am feeling better now, I don't even like the high, I don't know why I am so compelled to do this to myself, however, I know what the trigger is and I guess that means I am on my way. Thank you all for all your advice I will let you know how my meeting goes. I am so happy that I getting it all off my chest. It's time!!!!!!
I am glad you are OK..Please take this as a Wake Up Call..I just got back from a funeral and he did not take that last snort or whatever as a wake up call because it is now toooo Late..This is a Serious Disease and takes Lots of work to stay clean..Get that Support now!! Please!! Live Life to the Fullest!!

BE SAFE!!! Yep! If we keep dancing with the demons we will be up there singing with the Angles sooner then we want.
Meetings will really, really help you so much..Try to educate yourself in a more logical scientific way about this disease. It will not cure you, but it will help you to understand a bit more about the Chem changes and such..There is a lot the goes on up stairs in our Brain.
LOTS of Life Changes have to happen. I only have 601 days in and have lost 7 in 6 months. Not all to Addiction but to Cancer too! A disease is a disease and has to be taken care of by reaching out for help. Wishing you the best and I am so glad you are OK.

I was watching this thread. I'm so glad you're ok. I was doing what you were not long ago. Started puking it up. First thing I thought...what a waste of money , not omg my poor body...what have I done. Glad that's over. And yeah, the high wasn't even that great. It was for nothing.

I am glad you came clean about it being you. I am also glad this was a bad experience. Hopefully that will stick in your mind and you will now be on the road to recovery. Please keep us posted on how you are doing.
Thank you so much, Meegan!! The only plus about this is that I don't have to go through the horror of withdrawal. I thank my lucky stars that it hasn't gone that far. I am sure that if I continued on this path, I would be suffering like I suffered last year. I also haven't spent a dime. I would get a pkg for a friend, take a hit, and give it them. I rationalized it all away, but I was only bulls**ting myself. I also know why I felt the need for it. I am in a relationship that is going down in flames and instead of meeting it head-on, I numb myself before we see each other. It's not that I don't love him, I do, but sometimes love just isn't enough. I plan on going to my first meeting this week. I thank God my old friend called me yesterday. We met for lunch and I poured my heart out....finally!!!!! He will be taking me to my first meeting. Even if I don't go, I will have him to turn to. Talking to him made all the difference in the world. I am NOT alone and I can't do this alone!!! I never admitted that before.
Thank you again to all of you!!!!!!!! I have my old friend and I have you guys!!!!!!! YOU ALL ROCK!!!!! Sincerely, Maria

Thank you, Vic. I will definitely educate myself and definitely get help thru meetings. I resisted them before and after the fog lifted when all of the pills were out of my system, I started to have all these feeling and emotions stirring up. I couldn't deal with it!!!! I will never have a happy future until I come to terms with the past. I have to learn how to deal with my emotions in a healthier way.
Did I read correctly, did you say you have cancer or were you just comparing our disease to that of having cancer?
Thank you again for being there for me!!!!!!! Sincerely, Maria.
