Then he went to Florida for about a year and recently just came back he got a hold of me and we started talking again,and i started really liking him again.We've been spending a lot of time together lately and we're dating but I've been noticing he's been acting really strange lately. i know hes messed up,he'll go away for about 15 Min's at the time and come back speech slurred,he'll sit down and start nodding and falling asleep.

Dreams and heroin addiction?
I recently quit using heroin, and after days of battling the withdrawal symptoms, I realized something that I've not noticed before. It seems as though whenever I fall asleep, I dream about using heroin. It's not subtle, either. It's pretty blatant. When I wake up I'll be sweating and disoriented, and realize that I have, once again, had a dream about heroin.Does this happen to a lot of recovering addicts?

My daughter asked me about my heroin addiction and i told her the truth?
She's 14 and she asked me if I would ever use again and I told her the honest truth that my addiction to heroin is not dead, just sleeping. My wife got pissed off at me when I told her that. The truth is I'll always be an addict and I will always want to use, right now I'm not doing it, but that's not to say tomorrow will be the same..if I could snort some smack right now I would. My wife told the kids 6 years ago when I went to rehab that I was never ever going to use again. I've used 8 times since then. Am I wrong?

Anyone heard of treating heroin addiction and depression with marijuana?
I am looking for websites or articles that talk about this issue. This is a serious question and I would really appreciate serious answers. I know that marijuana has medicinal uses and that both depression and heroin addiction are treated with pharmaceutical drugs which can sometimes be just as harmful. The person is already off of the heroin and has gone through the withdrawals. The doctors put them on a medication combination that has caused them even worse depression. I understand that marijuana is more natural but a lot of people think it too is addictive...then again some people don't. I'm wondering if any research has been done on the issue. Thanks.

My daughter has had a heroin addiction for several years. What more can I do? Serious only this is life/death?
My daughter is in her mid 20's. She has had little clean time over the last 4 years. She has been through rehab centers and jail. She is now a convicted felon. But I received information from a trusted person she does not live with me that she " has one foot in the grave." She looks horrible, expensive daily for H, so she is prostituting daily. Therefore, I called her local crisis center to try and force green warrant her into treatment. But I was not getting much help. So, I called the police who promptly told me if she did not answer the motel door where she is living there was nothing he could do. But, they agreed to check her out, and if there were were drugs in sight, etc she would be arrested. I love my daughter so I would rather she be alive and in jail. A little later my daughter calls me screaming wanting to know why I called the police. I understand her addiction, which seems to have spurs, so I told her because I love her. She told me " now you will never know where I am again" and hung up on me. I am at a lost for help. She has no health insurance and because she is a felon she is limited to assistance.

My bother is recovering heroin addiction and he asked me for weed?
My brother who is 25 years old just got out of a detox place after suffering from heroin addiction for a long time. He chose to get clean himself, hence he put himself in a rehab center. He just got out yesterday, and he asked me to get him weed because he knows I smoke. I'm 14 by the way. He yold me it would help him out a lot, but I'm not sure if giving him weed would make it better or worse for him, because I don't want to give drugs to an addict, but I'd rather him smoke weed than shoot heroin. What should I do?

Heroin Addiction or Addiction to Blood?
SWIM made a lot of bad decisions in their life and their heroin addiction def ranks at the top. The thing is they have made great progress on the road to recovery but have mentioned many times to me that its not about the drugs anymore. They love the act of drawing blood and after injection look forward to drinking their own blood. Is this normal. They use clean needles and never share. Is there such a thing as a blood addiction
