Someone with panic problems, anxiety, depression, etc ... has already used heroin, what does it feel like?

Never used it but it sounds like it will make a bad situation worse

Heroin was the best partner, best friend, and best medication I've ever had. If it wasn't so expensive and legalised, I truly believe I would no longer be as unwell as I am. When I was working on heroin, I'd only use enough to feel normal, not high. When I was alone, that's when I'd use to get really fucked up.

Heroin feels like a mixture of a warm blanket, slipping into a perfect bath, an after-sex euphoria, and complete contentment. But even that description is inadequate. All your pain - physical, mental, existential - all fades away. For a while, everything is okay.

The bit that kills heroin being the cure-all isn't the heroin itself, it's all the bullshit around it. The chasing dealers, the withdrawals, the expense. Even the stigma. Recovery also sucks. I have been clean since Jan/Feb of 2018 and I still think about it every single day. Heroin is the ex I can't get over

How much is a lethal dose to a first timer?

How much is a lethal dose to a first timer?

It's highly variable because heroin is so often cut with random stuff. Street heroin is often as low as 5% heroin (at least, where I am). My plan for eventual CtB is 1g from a reputable darknet vendor, and that's with no tolerance because I have been sober for so long, and that will be lethal. I can't say if that's the case for any other route aside from IV though, because if you take it orally your liver will metabolise the majority of it before it hits your blood stream

In theory it seems alright since I'll be too high to notice. I often wish I could drift off and never return on weed but the only thing at threat of that is my mind. Just noticed this is recovery so not really the place to post it. Happy drug taking peeps! :)
