Hi back in Detroit visiting family.
Back to all the memories of my heroin. I remember how I didn't fit in my family. I'm gay and my family is Catholic.
I've been in Minneapolis doing pain pills here and there.
Today I saw the freeway exit for Dequindre, which is where I used to get off to buy my drugs. I instinctively exited and found myself roaming in that old neighborhood. If someone came up to my car I would have bought some. I had the money balled up in my sweaty hand.
Please help! I can't stop thinking about it. I think I will find an AA meeting tomorrow. I'm going back to school soon... I can't do this to myself but all I want to do is shoot up just one more time.

Hey, i've been there where the cravings are sooo tempting...don't do it!!!!!!!
Make plans with people and don't cancel, try to surround yourself with people. I always found the craving the worst when i was alone.

Hey thanks! That's exactly what I did last night and it worked. I feel soooo much better today and I am so happy I didn't use.
I called an old AA buddy of mine. He told me to make myself accountable by telling someone I'm there with. He put me on 3-way with my mom and I started crying my eyes out. I told her that all I wanted to do was use. She reminded me that using heroin = death. All my goals and dreams would be gone. She was right. If I ever did heroin again it would be a downward spiral.
Today, the cravings are pretty much gone. They will return again sometime, but I just have to call.
Thanks for listening to me. Sometimes you are only one person away from killing yourself.
