  1. I finally have so much to lose, for the first time in my young life.

    It's 2 am, I should be asleep. Wondering: does using heroin make your hair fall out?

    Date: Nov 22 2021 I tried googling the question but didn't find any kind of answer. Surprisingly not on this website, either. My hair is falling out, tho. It never used to be like this. Every time I take a shower and wash my hair, then conditioner, then I let it soak in and use a pick - type comb to brush it out. Clumps of hair coming out. Every morning when I take my hair out of the ponytail I use to sleep in - ten or fifteen strands of hair come out with my hand when I brush my hand thru...

  1. Journal Description

    This journal will be my record for finding/creating a strategy regarding a goal I have: getting off heroin... and either back on methadone or off of opiates entirely.
    Also, I'm hoping other people will be here reading what I write. Comments of experiences from other users that I can use to learn from or advice I can take. That kind of stuff is invaluable.
    A doctor might know a thousand times more than me on the science of it, but having a real life experience as an addict and giving me advice with my well-being in mind, it can go really far in regards to changing my mind about something. I've had more than my fair share of professionals talk down to me, even abuse me while I was in hospital, because I'm an addict and there's nothing I can do about it.
    I want to share my experience and maybe vent some of the anger that's been cooking up inside me.
    I need to be off dope by next April, so we have a timeline. I'll share what my withdrawals are going to be like, how long they last, what I've learned and what I have yet to try to get out of this prison of a drug.
    They say journaling is good for you so... here I am ..:rolleyes: Let's do it. unnamed.jpg IMG-1514.jpg unnamed.jpg IMG-1514.jpg
