    But not for good...a friend of mine, someone I think highly of, is trying to kick their heroin habit. I am not smoking anymore until they are through their withdrawal as a show of solidarity.

    If you have it in you, my Seasoned friends, think about doing the same and posting it here if you do. It will only be a few days.

    Thanks.

    +Reps. Heroin is bad. You are a great friend, even if it is not necessarily an equal gesture, since for a non heroin addict it would really be hard to think of an equal gesture that is irrelevant.

    Good work

    Well, I smoked Friday night, I'm out, and I plan on not smoking/being out of weed for at least a week. Mostly because I'm broke and the little connects I have are dry. Plus I'm taking the GMAT later this week--so I'm trying to study my ass off/not smoke this week to get ready for it. Better believe this upcoming weekend it is going to be balls to the wall though. Point is--joining you on the weeklongish t-break.

    I haven't been smoking much lately anyways, but I still need a bowl or two a day. If he can fight his way through heroin withdrawals, I sure as hell can forgo weed for a few days. I've had friends go through the same thing before and it helps to have somebody by your side (not literally) to keep you strong and fight through the urges. I'm down. It will just make that celebratory bowl when he finishes that much sweeter.

    No really you are. A heroin addiction is no easy picnic. I've been through it, and have been clean for over 2 years. I have friends who have not been able to get off of it, and I have friends who've had their chances of getting off of it taken away. When I was going through withdrawals I didn't have any friends to hangout with. All my friends at the time were basically drug users, and it wouldn't have helped me one bit to hangout with them. I'm sure your buddy appreciates that he can have a friend to support him, who isn't using drugs himself, and yes marijuana is a drug.

    It passes in a few days generally, though like any addiction the psychological aspects can last a long time.

    I know giving up weed is nothing compared to opiates, but it's all I can do to show support :)

    When I was much younger I spent 3 days and nights sitting with a friend who had a horrible heroin habit. He was doing enough that he was heading for an OD soon. It was nasty and messy. I cleaned his shit and urine from him and kept him hydrated. Twenty years later he's still clean so it was worth it.

    I can't sit with this friend but I can offer my moral support here :)

    The physical aspects of the withdrawal vomiting, nausea, insomnia, etc may go away in a few days, but physically you don't get back on the "right schedule" for at least 2 weeks. Your metabolism is all out of wack. And as far as psychological withdrawal, that lasts a lifetime. A shot of heroin is by the far greatest feeling ever. It's like heaven, and once you're not in heaven, you do anything you can to get back there, at least I did.
    I've been clean for some time, but I still crave the feeling everyday, but refuse to relapse.

    And take my advice, I advise you to keep him away from methadone. Methadone is just another dirty high that replaces a different idirty high. Sure it can be helpful for some, but for most people it's just a way of continuing getting high when theres no heroin around, and once there heroin is around there's a high risk of relapse.

    Yes I was referring to the more debilitating and immediate effects. He doesn't have a huge habit compared to many and it's my hope that he'll be feeling much better in a few days.

    I'll be doing fine. I can quit smoking easily and have before when necessity warranted. Like I said it's just what little I can do in a symbolic way to support a friend :)

    Thanks everyone.

    Very cool gesture, dude. You're a real class guy, to say the least.

    Good luck to your friend man, he'll be alright if he keeps strong.
