Question by Piinngooooo: How long does heroin stay in your system?
On Friday 13th I accidentally (i know it sounds crazy and fake) smoked a small amount of heroin. It was the first time and a small amount. I had a really emotionally weekend, seriously emotional. So I got so depressed that I fell ill on Monday. My parents are worried and want to take me to the doctors to get me checked out. I don’t know if it’s likely or possible, but if they drug test me will it show up?

you hang out with the wrong people.

Heroin itself, will come up in a urine test 3 to 4 days after using. The metabolytes of heroin will be there for a long time and can be detected several weeks later.

Question by Jamie: Is anyone out there a recovering heroine addict?
I am 24 and am a recovering heroine addict. I have been clean for 10 months now, and I did go to rehab. When I went into rehab I had been bartending for over a year and my counselor there told me I had to quit because I would trade one habit for the other, so I did. Now while I was there I was told to get a sponsor and do my steps but I just think it is stupid to tell a stranger all your problems and other stuff and the steps are dumb too. I don’t dog people that it works for but I just think its dumb. I learned a lot from my experience in rehab- now sometimes I do go out with my boyfriend and drink and they are very strict about “no mind altering chemicals because” it will make you want to use, but it doesn’t. I have not wanted to use at all and I know I never will again- plus my boyfriend who i love very much hates drugs. I know I was addicted, and it was for about 2 years O feel I just got caught up in a bad situation with a bad person, before heroine I tried a few drugs but never liked them. I guess my question is, is okay to not follow a program and have a sponsor? Does this work for anyone else? I did change my people, places, and things and I have so much support from family and friends, I also never received couseling once out of rehab and I don’t feel like I need it. My life is so great now and I do not attend N/A meeting either, they bore me and I hate them. Do you think I am okay now mentally? It was not easy at first but now I know I am fine. I would feel like a hippocrit going to a meeting when I ocasionally drink, I need some advice.

i think it would be okay for you to drink every once in a while as long as you don’t start craving drugs again. always have someone you trust with you though so you can tell them if you need to stop or just so they can watch out for you. but the moment you start craving tell a friend and have them help you.

“Eagle Eyes”

“Help” I use every last breath to screech out that one single word.
I shuffle around the cold floor, even though my hands and arms are bound with thick rope… trying not to make to much of a clatter, he might hear me. The rope is cutting into my leg as I roll into a more comfortable position. Then, I wonder to myself… is this how I will die? Certainly not! I quickly assure myself. I turn around abruptly, there he is staring at me… his eyes reach mine…
I call them “Eagle Eyes.”
Then, suddenly, bang…. A bash to the head…. I slowly drift into sleep.

“Robyn, can you hear me? Robyn.” the doctor shines a light in my eyes.
“Dad? Where am I?” I open my eyes and find my self in a small room at the University of North Carolina hospital. I look outside the window and an eagle is staring right at me.
“Your fine, you’ve just had some cuts and bruises.” my dad tells me. I can see the fear in his eyes.
“She should be fine in a couple days Mr. Sharp… I assure you.. It’s nothing serious.” the doctor winks at me as he explains the situation to my dad.
Well I can assure you, that it is serious. I am petrified at what will happen next…
“I’ll leave you two alone.” the doctor walks out with a grin on his face. I look towards my dad.
“The doctor said they found you on the side of a road down by Chapel Hill?” my dad glared into my eyes.
He was the type of guy that would ask a single question and can get the whole story in one minute. You see, my dad was a detective at the North Carolina Crime Scene Investigation. He was the best they had.

My dad and I live out by Dunham in a two bedroom ranch. My mother disappeared when I turned nine years old. About six years ago. She also worked for the North Carolina Crime Scene Investigation. No one knew what happened to her. Some people say she’s half way across the globe, others say she abandoned me. I know neither can be true. My dad learned to forget about that kind of stuff and realized that I was important now. He couldn’t back down.

Over the next couple of days, I began to feel better, at least physically. It was probably the dozens of drugs they had injected into me. Apparently there was a large count of lead in my blood. I threw on a tee shirt and got ready for my evaluation, just to make sure I was ready to leave. No one knew what had happened before I was found.

“Hello Ms. Sharp! How are you today?” my psychologist, Dr. Eyes asks.
“Fine.” I quickly reply.
Dr. Eyes had helped me recover during the loss of my mother.
She was also my mom’s best friend.
Dr. Eyes… I’ve always thought it was such a peculiar name.
TYPO >

The city is really Durham not Dunham.
By the way, I am open to all criticism! I love it when people give me suggestions. So if you hated it, feel free to say so. I’d rather have the truth.

It’s alright. Good suspense. But it seems there’s much too much pathos-and-violence ridden work these days that it just seems like more of the same. Well written, but somewhat unoriginal.

A clip from the Hazelden video entitled “Cross-addiction: The Back Door to Relapse.” Cross-addiction is the single greatest relapse factor. Those who seek treatment generally have an honest desire to remain abstinent from alcohol or another drug of choice. Yet most can also name a drug they’ve tried that they consider “safe” for themselves, one they believe they can control. The full-length video features first-hand testimony from recovering alcoholics and addicts, chemical dependency professionals, and a medical doctor which dispel the myth that there is any such thing as a “safe” substance for people in recovery. The full-length program ends with a message of hope as the recovering individuals share the joys and triumphs complete abstinence brought to their lives.

Who in the helk says when you turn 21 booze must be involved? What do you like to do?? Bowl? Golf? Go to movies? Rock climb? Ice Skate? Go to dinner? Figure it out and call up some good friends who know how hard you are working to maintain your sobriety and just have fun. even if it means just having everyone over for a dinner at home and renting a movie.

Good Luck, stick with it and HAPPY FREAKING BIRTHDAY>

Define “a lot”? Eating 12 Doritos is normal; eating 70 is sick.

I would advise portion controls, not going cold turkey.
