If you think all heroin addicts steal then you're even more clueless about this that I first imagined.

Re: Anthrax alert for addicts
 

I was brought up in a area full of them.

What junkie can afford to pay what ever it is for a few bags a day and manage to live but not steal or lie to get the money?

All junkies lie or steal.

Wrong wrong wrong

Re: Anthrax alert for addicts
 

You seriously have NO IDEA what you're talking about. Sweeping generalisations might be easy for you but show such ignorance.

Re: Anthrax alert for addicts
 

So does everyone else. :shrug:

Re: Anthrax alert for addicts
 

So you are telling me if she had no money and no stuff she would not lie or steal to get it?

Yeah right. Maybe should would come straight out and ask I need smack so give me money. Looks like we all love junkies in this forum.

And dont say to me you have no idea. You have no idea the past life I have had with drugs involved.

Re: Anthrax alert for addicts
 

she used to borrow of the local loan shark strangely the same bloke that sold the stuff


well if thats the case you know better

Re: Anthrax alert for addicts
 

I doubt any past involvement you may have had with drugs justifies the sweeping generalisations you've been making. Your personal experience is exactly what it says on the tin - personal, relating to you. It may or may not have relevance to anyone or everyone else. But you can't simply assume it does.

Why do people put this **** into their bodies in the first place?
Live by the sword, Die by the sword.:)
What compells someone to inject/smoke something?
Deal with real life.
If you have a problem then sort it out, injecting or smoking drugs doesn`t make the problem go away!!!!!

Re: Anthrax alert for addicts
 

Personally I've tried a number of things that are illegal (I'm talking about illegal narcotics, not about things like rape, child abuse etc), as I wanted to be sure that if I gave an opinion I could atleast do so from the perspective of having tried it atleast once....

I know.... I'm weird. ;)

I tried loads of stuff because I was screwed up. :)

and some of them are very nice also lol

Re: Anthrax alert for addicts
 

I've known one or two heroin addicts who've managed to hold down full time jobs and fund their habit.

Re: Anthrax alert for addicts
 

Its truly sad how a few posters have such an outdated stereotypical image of any addict, addicts come from all stratas of society, rich or poor, intelligent or not there is no discrimination by addiction.
As regards methadone it is without doubt the best tool in the doctors armory in that it enables an addict to stabilize him/herself, once they have managed that it is then , maybe for the first time in years, that an addict genuinely has a choice as to how they proceed.
Of course this isn't enough for some people, like certain newspapers they want the person to suffer....its enough to make you sick the venom in some people.
