My 25 year old brother died of a heroin overdose. I want to know details?
My brother was 25 years old. He first did heroin when he was about 17 i think , but he didn't get caught until he was arrested at age 24 for buying heroin. He had tricked us all into thinking that he was sober since then. I should have known better, but he died about a month ago. The rehab clinic said he was doing so well and that they thought he could go back to his normal job. They found him on the floor by his toliet with the needle still in his arm. The shower was running. Did he feel any pain? Why did he do this to me and my family? I know its not really him, but I would like to hear from true addicts that it is truly a disease, and that he didn't actually want to hurt us. I'm his little sister, and I know he loved me so much and I I know it wasn't his true character to do this. I just don't understand. Please help me. I just want to understand.

How to help someone struggling with heroin ?
my boyfriend I would say started doing heroin in December probably. he was clean for a month or 2 and got his car back, and got a job and is trying to do good. he called me the other day so sick and I was suspicious and made him take a drug test, he failed and I finally got him to admit that he did heroin the day before. I believe he really does want to sto but in getting so upset that he can't. I thought he was done for good with it this time. I suspect he has been doing it all weekend and I'm depressed. he probably won't admit it to me that he did but I know he is. how can I help him ? I'm going to go to one if his drug classes with him this week but what else can I do..

I shot heroin yesterday and the injection site is swollen..?
I shot dope yesterday for the first time in 6 months. I didn't miss, I used a clean needle, and I used antiseptic on both my arm and the bottom of the bottle where I mixed. I pulled back twice to make sure I was in a vein, so I'm not too sure what could have happened. I did not loosen the tourniquet before removing the needle. Anyways, after injection, it felt burny and then very itchy for a good 10 mins or so. Then, the site around where I injected got very swollen and red and hurt. I wake up this morning and the swelling has gone down, but it is still a little sore. What could this be? I am freaking out my friend who this has happened to said it could be an abscess. I'm wondering if anyone else who shoots h has experienced this before? Lastly, could this be from the h itself or could it be from something going wrong at the actual injection site?When I said I used antiseptic on the bottom of the bottle, I also rinsed it off afterwards. Just trying to make the point that I was very clean during this process. And by clean needle, I means brand new out of the pack just bought from CVS clean needle. I did use sink water, not sure if tht is an issue. In pretty sure I've used it before and have had no issues bc it is clean.Please I am freaking out

Ive been clean for about 3 and a half days No suboxin or anything because Ive heard from people that a month of smoking isnt bad and the detox place doesent wana take me unless im like sick sick and im truly not sick like I cant get outa bed Im just in a lil pain, . Im only 120 pound 18 year old guy though. This is my first experience with this devilish drug or any drug besides my Prescribed Marijuana and clonopin and I am NEVER going back it made me feel like CRAP .My question is How long till the withdrawls go away so far after 3 days ive experienced lower back pain that kinda sucks n some restless legs n arms while trying to sleep but besides that just a lil bit of nausea, trouble standing because of the lower back pain hahaha Oh and trouble Urinating. It really isn't as bad is it sounds ive been manetaneing by smoking my prescribed medical marijuana and taking prescribed clonopin but I was only heavily on it for a month it was just smoking alot of people are saying that a month isnt to bad with smoking and I should feel better in 2 3 days but from what ive read it could be worse I have not experienced any vomiting yet at all in 3 and a half days of being clean. So Before I used for 2 months I was taking Celexa and I realy wana take it again because it helped my anxiety how long after ive been off the heroin is it safe to take the Celexa Citalopram 20mg a day again. I just want my body to feel clean and start taking my celexa again. Thx for the help.

Tar Heroin?? SCARED. HELP?
just to be clear, i have no intent to use this product, heroin or not I use to be a druggie, mainly doing weed and shrooms not anymore,got arrested . But my friend invited me over to his house, saying he found something suspicious. I looked in his girlfriends stuff, and found some blue and black pills that are clearly home made. Needles were next to them. I open it up, and a brown mass was in it, that looked like musher together gerbal pellets. It's a very dark brown, and has some hint of black in it, and I think it's heroin. Is there any way for my friend to test it to see if it's heroin? Does this sound like Brown black tar heroin???
