I had a friend a few years back who did Junk every now and then. I never touched it because I knew what it does to people. From watching a lot of rehab programs it always seems to me that Alcohol withdrawl is far worse. If a junkie doesn't get the fix they do an extremely bad "cold turkey". Whereas if a heavy alcoholic doesn't get the fix it can kill them... This is as far as I know but alcohol withdrawl can be fatal, where as Cocaine / Herion rarely is...

[gished100]

that's a good point. a mate of mine was a serious boozer - i stayed with him and he was having white lightning for breakfast and all sorts.

he went to docs and the doc said don't stop drinking suddenly because he could die. he had to cut down slowly.

[treymurrayiskool]

i agree that all these hard drugs are a waste of time and will ruin your life.

but they are pretty much giving cannabis a bad name. there ARE people who NEED cannabis to live. and there are those who use it as a recreational drug but do it responsively and dont harm anyone. so just keep it green :D

[649564]

"there ARE people who NEED cannabis to live...." YOU give cannabis a bad name. This is far far far different than ur "green". Addiction will ruin your life, the drug is just an outlet.

[Hammersley1967]

All these guys in the video need to do is surrender to the love of the Lord Jesus Christ our saviour...

[tsarita]

please guys, get off heroine! i've never tried it, so i know it's easier said than done but you have to try as hard as you can to leave it alone. you can do it!

[loombaron]

ive never done any kind of drugs and these guys look better than me LOL

[KidsWithGuns1992]

It's true.

Weed is like the opening door to all drugs.

Once you've tried that you want to keep pushing yourself.

You want different feelings, different experiences.

Then you find the perfect one and get hooked, turns out to be heroin.

[cross666fade]

Heroin is a hell of a drug. Props to those who have kicked it, because it's not easy.

But this reminds me of my friends (who also use drugs) and it scares the shit out of me to think that they'll end up like these people in this video.

[jay64stang]

Heroin will crush you and your soul... Ive known and lived with many people who are so hooked and they cant stop, its so sad.  They're literally withering away.

[iheartstrongbow]

they probs use the computers at the rehabiltation center

[spakey1983]

CHOOSE LIFE!!!!!

[steeley360]

Not tryin to be offensive to any of these Heroin addicts who are commenting but how can you all afford internet if you're using?

And massive respect to those who have kicked the habit.

[DarkstarDeck]

Well i giv massive respect to those who never tried it!

[satanspal112]

why do you respect someone who does something out of fear?

[King2812]

Hell yeah, I agree!

[benzcool000000]

maybe their addiction hasnt quite reached the point where they are selling heavily?

[GeorgiaJetband]

I've been clean for a year and a few months... there are many who are "functioning addicts," many rich and middle class adults are heroin addicts too. It's different for everyone :D

[CrackWhore82]

because i work a full time job i have my own place (mortgage) but heroin is apart of my life and have been for 6 years - I work hard and am on a methadone script but i can't stop using. Its my glass of wine at the end of a hard day thats the only way i can explain it to 'non users'

[daominous]

Kudos... even though your name is crackwhore:)

[JOOORD12345]

i respect you that you have your business and are a heroin addict... i wish for you the best even if i dont know you.. good luck in your life

[johnr1031]

ur gunna die o wind up on the street i guarante.... all of you addicts do. it will be ur cup of wine but not for long soon it will be that after breakfast/lunch/dinner dessert

[lesterluigi]

My mom started paying my bills and rent from me when i was on dope, and i was still stealing from her...she didnt know i was using..she just thought i got laid off from my job. Just because someone is an addict doesnt mean theyre on the street and have absolutely no money. There are people who also are mild addicts who dont use that often, like crackwhore down there said, its her "glass of wine" at the end of the day...that doesnt sound like a full blown addiction so

[lesterluigi]

of course they would still have money to continue with their daily lives...those are called functional addicts. however, like i said, i became a complete slave to the substance..i stopped paying rent, stopped paying bills..my mom did it for me...ugh..its just..bad. very bad.

[smile4mejmarie]

Hughey Lewis said it best, I want a new drug, one that wont make me ill, one that wont cost too much, or come in a pill. RIP Cobain, Joplin,Morrison et all The old addage of if you fall off a Horse get right back on, dont apply here, stay away from this white pony.

[bry6trump]

djrealfancy-i wish you were right, but you arent...i was addicted to heroin for years then got clean and have been clean for 3-4 years and i wish i could say the only thing that draws people back to using was the high..nope, there is this thing called PAWS, post acute withdrawal symptoms..they are the changes that happen to the brain when the drug is no longer administered...Paws can sometimes linger for a lifetime..

[rockybabes1234]

its very heartbreaking to watch this video...i know about herion,i know what it does to people and everyone around them....i hope and prayer for you all,be strong!annie xxx

[bonzo5183]

i first hand know about heroin, and it breaks my heart to every crash out i get called to. I am a paramedic, used to be from newport, work around liverpool,just breaks my heart if a child is hit by a vehicle and we have to work on him, or to get called to a heroin addict over dose and as we are giving narcan, over the radio, all ambulances are out, and no body can get to the child. That is heart breaking, cos i could have been saving an innocent child who never asked for that a car to hit him.

[eddie84964]

check out my award winning documentary cottonland thank you Eddie Buchanan

[JamieLessard565]

what demons aint no demons in heroine straight up addiction son. mind of matter is all it is

[djrealfancy]

not addiction. you're right about mind over matter however. addiction is one of the most overused metaphors (for bad habit) in the english language. heroin feels good (im guessing, never tried it), that's why one craves it...not b/c some invisible "entity" causes you to be "addicted". im sure i'll get flamed, but there's this thing called "self-discipline" people need to practice...if you beat heroin, you aren't beating "addiction", you are using discipline and living responsibly. peace

[speeedemon420]

clealy then you have no understanding of what it is to be "addicted" to heroin, or about the grim reality of heroin withdrawl. I agree that the word addiction is missused but when it comes to heroin and crack addiction it is 100% real. do some research if you want to know more...all im going to say is that self discipline means nothing to someone addicted to heroin.

[JoaquinIbarra666]

"there's this thing called "self-discipline" people need to practice"

i couldnt of said it better myself.

[vessvsupercharged]

true dat

[lesterluigi]

LMFAO..heroin isnt like cocaine...there is deep, painful physical addiction and withdrawal when you dont use...its so much more than just "feeling good" and its something you as a non user, could NEVER understand or look at from a subjective viewpoint BECAUSE you are a non user and have never used..so its best, since you dont know, to keep your opinion to yourself about it. no disrespect intended.

[aliciaflirt]

There are physical symptoms that go along with heroin,unlike other drugs. You need to research this drug because it is a whole different ballgame.

[hardrockerdave94]

Don't most drugs have physical symptoms?

[Terminator860]

I been on heroin for 10 years i want methadone ampoules i will pay for private prescription but the doctors i've seen won't give it to me just oral juice.

[redfan1971]

why you need amps? they really mess up your veins, especially the 50 mil ones. Juice has the same effect it just takes an hour to work.

[lesterluigi]

the juice is the same as the tablets.

[markisinaband]

aww poor guys. much respect for beating the addiction...so hard

[shamblesdoherty]

fantastic doccumentary and very informative, not a user myself, but it nearly happened and this is a great insight into what being a heroin addict really means!

[chikito0107]

omg

[RealLemonade]

great vid, i am 27 years old, and have been clean for 3 years now, when i look back now, i can belive i put myself through prostitution and hell.my life is more beautiful now than i could have imagined.

[habsrnumber1]

congratulations on the end of addiction

[popdukes82]

good for you. love beats the demon
