This is mentioned in Stephen King's The Dark Tower II The Drawing of the Three." ...where it was really coming from, he knew from what he had read in the medical journals, was from the bunch of living wires at the base of his spine, that place where heroin addiction takes place by causing an unnatural thickening of the nerve stem.Want to take a quick cure? ... Break your spine, Henry. Your legs stop working, and so does your cock, but you stop needing the needle right away."

How to intervene a heroin addiction. please help me?
I would really like it if someone who has actually suffered from this horrible addiction could offer their advice, but any is fine.My best friend, who has already a destructive personality he's gay, very intimidating, stubborn, extremely independent, headstrong, easily depressed,pessimistic, has a lot of time on his hands etc. just recently picked up heroin again he has in the past but got over it . Ive tried talking to him about it briefly and he says that he really has nothing to live for anyway and he's happier this way so let him be, and to not worry about him. But naturally I do. I want what makes him happy since it's few and far between, but I cant just stand around waiting for him to over dose or something awful. It's already hard enough being around his " shell" . He is socially withdrawn, sometimes really mean, keeps himself isolated, barely speaks etc. Can someone please help me by offering the right ways of approaching someone with his personality type? I feel like I'm loosing him. PLEASE HELP.

Heroin addiction...crystal meth....dextroamphetamine?
heroin addicts who are willingly trying to get off, or more usually being forced off one way or another are prescribed Crystal methadone LEGALLY in Ireland by medics, Im not sure of the procedure outside the country, its irrelevant anyway to me... Crystal meth is a highly addictive drug....now there after developing a new drug, dextroamphetamine....to help heroin addicts who were given Crystal meth to get off the heroin in the first place, to get them off the crystal meth..... I think its a huge waste of resources, time, research and life Because people are dying inevitably daily from the addiction to pass addicts from one addiction to the other, while there not solving the problem of addiction....merely prolonging it and worsening it ?? Is it just me that thinks this?? ok and i dont want one worded answers....unless there not from idiots here we have both, but crystal meth is more common.see smart ppl like OPC Are actually educating me thanks im too tired for this I need bed just post anything else you know cos im confusing myself
