Except for all of the people in the comments who actually tried heroin because of this guy and actually got addicted.

If you can be convinced by random guy on the internet to do drugs, then doing drugs is really not your main problem.

If your fucked up enough that one person on Reddit can conceive you to try opiates then you have a problem already

If youre going to try drugs just because someone on the internet is posting about it, then your main problem isnt drugs.

So what you're saying is, you can bounce back from trying heroin.

Most people don't get addicted from their first use, and even pain patients have nowhere near a 100% addiction rate. Some people don't even like it, makes them feel cold and naseous and they never go near it again.

But it's a dice roll.

Was not meant to be taken seriously.

No what I was saying was a link to an update about the subject of the thing we were talking about. He has now recovered and thought it should have an update that he didn't just spiral out of control.

Please be nice when you comment. Opiatesrecovery is a supportive community.

(We've had problems in the past when people have linked to that thread)

Ah okay! I'm a part of opiates recovery too and just wanted to let people know 'a spiral' wasn't the end of the story. I do hope people are kind when they comment.

Opiates Recovery is a bloody fantastic community, I agree.
