What Does HEROIN Feel Like?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 сер 2024
- This video is about what heroin feels like. I go into my own personal experiences with heroin as far as how the high feels and the general lifestyle surrounding heroin culture. Opioids are already a huge problem throughout the united states and many people who do not use drugs still want to know what they are like. I hope this video can shed some light on how it is to be addicted to heroin. The good, the bad and the ugly. Nowadays I am clean from heroin and all other illegal drugs. And i have made it my mission in life to help as many people as i can that are struggling with active addiction or even just a rough time in recovery. I hope you guys enjoyed this video. Let me know what you thought in the comments!

I have a saying that goes "There's a drug out there for everyone. The secret is to never find out which one it is."
very smart words to live by to be real
So true, Ive done most drugs but cocaine just sticks with me. Just something about it that I absolutely love.
@@kevinbond8966 it smells great :) Mine is MDMA, I love that stuff.
Its a phone 😔
Phone/porn for me. I manage to stay mostly off my phone most days but that damn porn is harmful. It feels similar to opioids but for whatever reason I never got hooked on opioids.
I tried heroin once. It was the longest 10 years of my life. 21 years sober now.
As somebody once said, don’t try it. You might awaken an appetite you didn’t know you had.
facts
I became an alcoholic and understand why people do drugs. Luckily I've never tried any other drugs (alcohol is legal drug) besides pot because I would probably become an addict immediately. But I can't miss what I don't know
@ramsesosirus I'm with, I was an alcoholic... I am the person that'd love opiates... thats why I stay far away.... Never did them when I knew how bad they were... I've taken them when I was prescribed, and other times for fun, but that's before I knew they were truely bad! I had a great upbringing, that's why I feel sorry for opioid addicts who had a horrible upbringing and the drug melts their tragedy away....
@@darylmixan8170 Yep, lived with other meth and heroin addicts in a halfway house. They said it felt better than anything you could possibly imagine or ever experience again, and that is why people seemingly destroy themselves for and over the drug! Imagine never being able to be as happy as when you're on the drug, and then your world collapses around you- of course you're going to want to escape.
@@darylmixan8170 became addicted to opiates after taking them for a few years ( prescribed for kidneys colics ) it was hell , stopped in 2020
I was a male registered forensic psychiatric nurse and had an injury while working in which I hyperextended my knee and ripped a tendon. I was given a prescription for Percocet for pain, 80 of them... The very first pill made me cry it felt so fucking good. I was emotionally addicted right from the first moment and eventually after playing with the pills for two years I did heroin and was an addict for about 8 yrs. all together. At the end I was on the streets of Edmonton Alberta Canada for two years, developed Hep-C from dirty needles. I've been clean now 18 yrs. Hep-C free and grateful every day for making it out alive. Most don't...
wow, amazing ! glad you are out of that hole nowadays!
pharmaceutical company's and the doctor's who prescribed this kind of shit so easily are fucking evil. glad your doing better!
Edmonton Alberta must be so hard to be homeless in. How do you get out of the cold in the winter time?
Respect, brother. Respect.
Damn dude! Glad you made it to the other side
This is the best explanation ive ever seen, at least to me. I also smoked it off of foil, shiny side down, with a hollow pen. It was great to see a video i could relate to so much. I, thank goodness, quit cold turkey after 2 years of smoking it multiple times a day. I was dope sick for weeks. I've remained clean since April 2008 and never touched it again.
How did you get thru the withdrawal? Suboxone made me puke please help
@amberwargo
@@Lizzybaby30500 it made me puke as well, a lot. Honestly, how I quit was getting on a Greyhound bus from Oceanside California and moved back to Ohio. I just had to get away from my supply and the people around me that also did it. I was horribly sick on the bus for 3 days, and a out 2 weeks after i lived on the couch and in the bathroom. I just pushed through it cold turkey because my desire to stop was finally stronger than my desire to stay addicted. It doesnt work for everyone, just like ways, the amount of attempts and how strong the addiction is for people to quit smoking cigarettes. I quit heroin cold turkey but I still can't shake cigarettes 🤷🏻♀️. Other people quit smoking the first time they try. Everyone is different, everyone is not wired the same unfortunately. But thats how i quit and never touched it again. I would never want to go through that withdrawal again, it was horrific honestly, so that helps to not start again.
@@AmberVivicide that's awesome. You are a strong girl, for sure. I KNOW how hard it is to stay on track, but you made it, you should be so proud of you..
Dayum girl how did u do it
It sucks because this can happen to anyone. One bad day. One bad decision. I’m glad you’re in recovery! Keep it up! I pray that no one I know will ever try drugs like these.
Truth! I've never done drugs but I have made stupid decisions in life. A lot of people don't understand that! "I'd never!" ..."they're weak!" Etc. Forgetting the list of "I'd nevers" that they've already achieved, or the time they had a bad day simply bc their starbucks order was incorrect. Don't judge. Thank God you're not there and have more empathy for our fellow humans. It's a bad situation to be in and I've seen people close to me completely change and not know it bc of whatever drug they were on.
Ishtuk jugia baichung vutia?
You’re wrong it can’t just happen to anyone. Choices
fentanyl is better than heroin
@@shawn170204 Sometimes the mind can go to dark places where consequences of said choice really dont matter aslong as it takes the pain away, so yes, it can happen to anyone.
Reading these comments is so sad I’m grateful I was never exposed to this shit. Praying for everyone addicted I know you have the strength to overcome
The constant need for this substance and the let down when it starts to wear off would ruin what living really feels like. Life can be hard. But I think this would be harder.
My son suffered brain anoxia, hypoxia and today has no short term memory, confusion, permanent chronic severe headaches , severly depressed, lost his job, his wife his life. 24 years of heroin addiction, overdoses. GOD knows my husband and I look after him. Heroin destroyed him and us.
So sorry.
My fiancée was on heroine 10 yrs. After a yr in the relationship I then discovered this white substance- found out to be heroine . Found it 3 X and told him I’d leave him if he didn’t admit that he had somn goin on with “cocaine”- cuz that’s what I thought it was. He admitted it was heroine . Long story short he finally went for help. I have caught him in some very big lies . They were not about the “H” each time . Nonetheless, am I being naive if think he’ll not go back to it “because “ he’s swearing not to?? He’s only on meth now through a clinic. Trying to get weaned off. It worries me because I have no experience with anything like this . We are supposed to be marrying
I’m so sorry. My husband and I have been dealing with my son’s addiction for many years. He’s been in and out of rehab for the last 10 years, and now we are retiring with no savings. Heroine destroys the family.
I’m 1 year sober from BTH. Heroin feels like the warmest best feeling ever, it makes you feel calm, happy, it gives you confidence, it makes all your problems go away- Until it stops working, then when that happens it leaves you a gigantic mess with more problems than you had to begin with, to all the addicts out there, keep your heads up and if you want sobriety you can do it! It’s the hardest thing you’ll ever go through but you can do it! Stay strong
Some person told me it's like god is Holding you in is arms Sound insane.. but this nooding off / drowsiness part sound not so cool or I wrong ..
@@ofirvvv4566 the nodding off part is the best part about it, nodding feels insanely good. It’s the most euphoric feeling on earth, your body feels so warm and just amazing and relaxed, it’s a hard feeling to describe but yeah the nodding feels amazing. Never touch heroin or other opiates because they will take over your life.
@@swiggityswagunion1223 I believe you but let's agree it's better not knowing what is like😉
@@swiggityswagunion1223 Thank you for telling me your expediences it certainly does seem scary but also interesting how this feeling as you put “the most euphoric feeling on earth” feels especially if you have some other drug experiences but not opioids
@@Kaiyats let's stick to cannabis and even that in moderation 👍
Heroin is the devil. It had me in its grips for 16 years and it’s years that I’ve lost and will never get back. Everything you said is true. After a while I was using just to feel normal and blew so much money and lost a lot of opportunities, friendships and most importantly the trust and respect I had from loved ones. Good on you for choosing recovery, it’s a hard road but worth it at the end.
I have heaps of tips to stay clean. I’ve been clean since 2001. I’ve noticed that the newly recovered like to count the days clean. The best thing I ever did was stop counting. It reminded me of my addiction constantly. So I stop which made me completely stop thinking about that time in my life. So I then got on with the next stage, marriage and children. Good luck in recovery brother ❤.
there is a reason why they say "don't do Heroin kids, its the best shit ever"
because it will feel like that, and once you're addicted, to get off of it, you'll have to accept that you'll never feel something quite like it ever again.
This hits hard. Never used heroine but never gonna try it
Is it kinda like extascy; but super addictive?
@@trydowave feels 10 times better
@@matthewcopping3473 no wonder its hard to kick then.
@@trydowave
oh no..totally different.X makes people active,social and doing something fun(music,dancing ect)..but this shit totally switch off all of ur sensors(connections) .just like sleeping while awake. (but not like the trippy dissociatives such as K,PCP or DXM.)..it's very difficult to explain..in short,that neutralized mind brings the deepest satisfaction and pleasure which is impossible to get from any other things..almost all people who have used heroin,say they never experience such a happiness and satisfaction in their whole life (but only the first time..then u just try to get the same high by increasing the dose..never touch this DEVIL)
My mother was a heroin addict all my life. We got into many arguments over it. I smoked weed, and continue to smoke weed til' this day. Whenever I would yell at her about her being high, using heroin she would always bring up that I smoked weed. It use to piss me off because they aren't the same, but I get it. She grew up during a time where a drug is a drug no matter what it is. Thankfully I never tried heroin, or any other harder drug because I saw what it did to my mom. She passed away last year, and we still don't know the cause of death. All we knew was she was throwing up blood, and she had been in and out of the hospital for being sick. My grandma(her mom), told me one day that she thinks she was back on drugs. I couldn't confirm or deny this because me and my mom were barely talking because of all the fighting(not physically) and bickering, plus I didn't live with her anymore. I don't know if she was back on drugs or not, but I do know that I miss her, even being on drugs I always had new clothes, anything I wanted she got for me, a hot meal, and so on. I'm watching this to understand what she may have felt during her time using. The thing that held her life hostage for all these years. Thank you.
I know my words don’t mean much as I’m just another person over the internet but those drugs had become so prominent in her life for so long that it became a part of her and no amount of effort can make someone that far down a hole better themselves but themselves, they have to need it and want it and somehow crave a better life more they crave what they see as their only means to an end, if we don’t give this life meaning, its very easy to let something or anything else do it for us, I hope you heal properly and get the advice you need, live long my friend
@@theklump It's okay, and thank you you're right. I just wish that there was something I could have done to help her while she was here. It just frustrated me so much that I would just end up yelling and arguing. The only thing that puts me at ease is knowing that she's finally truly free from it. I don't have to worry about her shooting dope in her veins anymore, and nodding out every few minutes. In the end that's all I truly wanted. Thank you for taking the time out of your day.
@@Ikkikun29I'm really sorry. Your comment made me think a lot about life. Sometimes I like to just swim into my own thoughts.
I think your mom may have passed due to withdrawals from what it sounds like, sorry for your loss man addiction sucks.
I’m so sorry your mom died so young.
I lost my sister and one of my best friends to heroin. My sister was 6 years ago, and my friend was 3 years ago. I’ll tell you, those wounds never heal. I miss them everyday and wish I could have did more to help them. Ultimately, the demons they were fighting won. It’s so incredibly sad. I hope you can stay clean and repair those relationships. Your friends and family never stopped loving you, even if it felt like they left you behind. I promise you they are happy you are clean and and most importantly, alive. Stay strong man.
Rip to both them.
I am so sorry
My son died after his first hit ,he was only 22 .it devastated the family ,he was introduced to it by another user ,my heart still aches .😢

Recovering heroin/fentanyl user here. Same deal, tried it in my teens and next thing you know I’m 31. Finally got off the shit October 17th 2022. Congrats on getting your life back man, it’s a beautiful thing. There is irreversible damage to people and myself that I’ve done over 15 years of use. But it’s better than it was. Keep pushing and continue doing the next right thing and the puzzle pieces will continue to fall into place. If no one told you I love you today, I love you brother. Godspeed.
Congratulations on being sober now brother you are very strong and your story is inspiring.
Congratulations. We have the same clean date except mine was 2023. God is so good!❤
Got off when I was 31 also back in 2021 just turned 35 and never looking back! So many wasted fuckin years man
Clean date is march 7th 2021

Yes you are completely correct. But u should be careful about how you are putting this across. Just my opinion. Obviously
A very honest account of heroin addiction. I think perhaps you should start with the bad side of what happens to you when you become an addict, how every aspect of your life is affected and things really fall apart, the good side of using is actually very short lived and lures you in, but then it's too late to just up and walk away from it. Your presenting style is great, very clear and thoughtful and i am sure it really helps a lot of people.
If you don't want people to watch this video you can delete it or archive it?
Hey Daniel, it’s Christian, I graduated with you, good to see you’re doing better man. It’s weird to get this video randomly in my feed, but it was a real blast from the past. I remember joining the wrestling team because of you, lol.
Every word is correct. John Lennons "Cold turkey" song is also so accurate. Still i would not want to miss my the 2 years of snorting no. 4 heroin 25 y ago. On a tropical island in Asia. Sober since 1999😊
I thank God i have never tried heroin and never will. Drank too much when I was young and it got me into trouble a lot. Once my Son was born I just kind of grew up and away from the party scene. I know things would have been much different had I not had him. I lost him way to early to complications due to being paralyzed at 19 in an auto accident. He was 32. Miss you little man❤...thank you for making me grow up.
I'm so very sorry.😥🙏🙏
My older brother went first in life, crack and meth.... but he showed me I could not handle these addictions....never thought about this level of addiction. God speed! You got this.
The hundreds of viewers on most of your vids appreciate you more than if you had a million views each vid, you’re helping so many of us regardless of view count
Thank you brother I truly appreciate that! Doing this gives me a greater purpose and helped me get off street drugs. I love the viewers I have right now.
Its awesome at first. Then it becomes a full time job. And you lose everything. I feel your pain. Glad you are doing better brother. Keep up the good work.
Full time job is correct, plus madddd overtime
100% yep, your entire day is dedicated to getting more, the stress you feel about getting more...everything revolves around getting it more...when you got it it was amazing...omg it was just so great...
But it destroyed my life, been clean since 2017
Yep.. gotta go on quests everyday (some so immoral they will eventually make you hate yourself) just to not feel sick. I don’t miss it. I do miss the high from time to time though, that’s the terrifying part.ive been off opioids for 2 years.
Congrats on your recovery. I hope you're still sober. I'm 61 now but was an alcoholic from around 15 to 35. Even at 35 I was able to get my life in order and be successful. You're still young enough that you can have everything in life that you want if you keep it together. It always gets me that people under 30 think about the time they lost on foolishness and use it as an excuse to not pursue their dreams. At 30 or younger you lost nothing in the grand scheme of things.
Honestly, if I had pain killers as a kid, I would probably be addicted now. I didn't have any opiate until I was me 25 after a surgery. Turns out, I love them.
The most intimate relationship I’ve ever had in my life is with Heroin. So sad but so true.
Are u off of it?
@@sycodelicphsyco9761 yes. 19 months now.
@@paulsamsotha6646 that is wonderful, you are doing great. I don’t know you at all but I’m proud of you. You are very strong now. I hope, whoever it might be in your life, that they help you when you just need the extra hand. You’ll be heroine free for life one day, and I know you will.
@@Cherrypoptarts I honestly feel that last run was my last run. It’s a new life for me now. Im happy. And thank you for your kind words.
@@paulsamsotha6646 that’s good man. I never been on drugs but from what I researched, it’s all for a feeling that fades and you keep chasing for it to come back. So I’m really really glad you’re turning a new page and getting it all together. I think that was your last run too. :)
Best way to describe it is you could feel depressed and suicidal but then once you get high everything feels ok and suddenly you feel content and relaxed. Ironically after it wears off you feel even more depressed and suicidal.
as an opioid addict for 13 years before sobriety. I appreciate your willingness to be honest. it's a tough journey man, it's nice to see another thats coming out the other side alive and still functioning
There was very little about the downside of withdrawal. The chills, the constipation, the vomiting, the depression, the sheer terror of not getting a fix
Constipation during withdrawal?? More like sh*tting your brains out and puking your brains out at the same time! You're constipated when you're using, not while in withdrawals. But yeah the hot and cold chills/sweats, the insomnia, the leg/body pain (the leg pain/restless legs are the WORST!) and rebound anxiety. It sucks! So glad I'm on suboxone now! It saved my life!
I was the opposite of constipated during my opioid withdrawal (morph, mostly). I shat myself every 30 mins or so lol. I had to take meds like loperamide, ppi’s (pantoprazole), and antiemetics (dimenhydrinate) just to keep some GI side effects at bay. It was hell. That said, it was not as bad as quitting benzos.
@@hwoods-kg1jf
Funnily enough during my withdrawals I never had diarrhea, not even once. And it's not because my withdrawals were light, with worst episode I didn't sleep for a whole month (except for 1 night after 2 weeks where I bought a 5$ pill because I felt like I was losing my mind completely). Methadone is giving me huge constipation tho, I have to take something against it. Trust me it's horrible when you realize you didn't s*** for 2 weeks and it's completely clogged up inside of you!
You should share your experiences speaking at high schools. Very informative, well spoken. You may save someone
@drones r us lol
Unfortunately that never seems to help. The hard heads gotta go through it themselves.
Thank you for having the courage to share this. As a nurse you've given me the the perspective of some of my patients. Wishing continued sobriety and blessings. 🤗
Never understood why my brother got into it. Opiates of any kind always made me feel sick as hell. Once he got sober he told me "it always made me feel sick too, but i felt i deserved that sickness" really glad i didn't give up on him because he's turned out to be a amazing father, brother, and uncle. Dont give up on the addicted
Damn dude you are a good brother. I had my knees shattered in the Army when we got hit by an IED I got on pain meds and then went to heroin because they took me off my pain medication worst thing I was told was for my younger brother he said that they always looked up to me and that I was like a hero to them and knowing that I led myself down that path made me so fucking depressed. I felt like I didn't even deserve any love from my brothers or anyone else. Thank God I'm sober now and I have a beautiful little four-year-old daughter my brother's never gave up on me it's probably one thing that kept me going
It's unpredictable 😊
@@NicCageForPresident2024 congrats 👏
i thought my lungs and brain with 3-4 huge bowls of grass everyday but this dude. glad you got recovery fam
For those without the patience to watch an entire video, I'll summarize. It feels like the universe wrapping a physically warm, relaxing, comforting blanket around you as you feel every cell in your body feel * happy/excited * and a strong feeling of "everything is gonna be okay". Withdrawals are the opposite, so feeling ice cold and burning hot at the same time, muscles ache with 10/10 pain, you shit your guts out, 10/10 dread/anxiety. I'll never be harsh to people who can't get out of the game simply because of withdrawals, because it's the most traumatizing thing you can go through in life, period, if it's bad enough. I'd rather get abused for a week while having kidney stones and a tooth infection with migraines all while having a flu, 0 doubt in my mind. DON'T DO OPIOIDS! Seriously, due to basic human brain chemistry there's a balance which you cannot really change, you cannot always feel good, what comes up comes down, and it WILL happen regardless of if you want it to or not.
I got diagnosed with HIV about 8 years ago before I used heroin and I became suicidal that day I found out and thought I want to try heroin before I killed myself been a hard life since then I’m down to 15ml of methadone now and recently had a relapse but I’m stopping using again, I just want to be 100% clean and use my story to educate others and I have a dream of opening up my own chain of rehab and detox facilities to help the struggling homeless addicts who feel like they have no hope.. pray for me please I need it
Praying for you right after I comment this ❤
Prayers to you 🙏 🤲 🕍 😊❤❤
"This is too good to be true" was my thoughts after my first time in heaven. Fortunately it wasn't around here back in the day, it just is too good and so devastating. Have had to take care of people trying to kick it off so they can go to rehab, which is the BATSHIT MOST INSANE THING you can imagine: to kick a drug habit, you have to kick the drug habit, go thru the DANGEROUS withdrawals that really should be done under medical supervision, just so you can piss clean and look nice to go to rehab.
I think it robs a piece of your soul, the people who use it changes and it is not for the better.
Wait you have to be sober to go to rehab?
@@Fish-ns5ny In many places, yes and that is a huge mistake. Getting sober while nothing else in your life changes, that is often impossible.
Yep I felt the same. I kept thinking about how absolutely heavenly it felt, like it was just way too good to be true. Just the best feeling this existence can ever offer you. Thats why its so dangerous, because you know that nothing in this world could ever even come close to the feeling heroin can give you.
Thanks Daniel for explaining what it feels like. I always wanted to know, but I never had the "courage" to try heroin myself because of the highly addicting factor to it. It is clear we are all trying to find some sort of a relief to be able to cope with this world and our lives, hence that so many people are giving in to trying something like this. That in itself should never be judged at all. I am just glad that you and many others who used heroin are still here and tell others what it is like. Thank you for that.
I started doing drugs since my teenage, got addicted to heroin. Heroin addiction actually destroyed my life. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Was diagnosed with cptsd. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 6 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.
Can you help me with the reliable source 🙏. I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Germany. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them.
YES very sure of Dr.alishrooms. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
I wish they were readily available in my place. Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac. He's constantly talking about killing someone. He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.
I was horrifically depressed since childhood. It was relentless. I assumed it would ultimately end me somehow. About twelve years ago I randomly accepted the offer from a friend of a few doses of mushrooms. I did them two consecutive nights alone. First night was pretty mild. The second night? Wow. I saw my depression from every angle, realized much. Next day: depression totally gone. Never came back, never coming back. It's like it's a forest far away I can remember, and could probably find again with enough effort, but it has zero impact on anything in my life or mind. They honestly saved my life and improved it immensely. I never did them again, either. I wish there was a good, organized way to administer them to people who would benefit from them.
Does he ship? Can he deliver to me here in Lithuania 🇱🇹
Huge amount of respect to you. For your honesty and bravery in sharing that, and the strength it must have taken to kick it. You will see your life coming back together, and it will be 10 times better than before, because you'll have the experience and wisdom of hitting rock bottom and building yourself back up again. Best wishes to you!
Thank you so much. I really do appreciate it. Things have gotten much better a year later!!!

@@danielsinrecoveryidk man I just hope you will stay away from that shit. Its just not worth it.
Cant say nothing I am a pro athlete and I use snuss. Not happy about that, it helps me in competetion and in other times I am staying away from that shit. Also alkohol etc free so
This is without a doubt the best description about heroin and heroin smoking that i ever came across. Everything, from the effects to the type of consuming, cfr. smoking on a foil, are all very accurate and correct.
Gotta keep it 💯
As a recovering addict I can tell y'all that the best high in the world is being clean and sober. Life is beautiful, don't waste it on poisoning yourself
In 1971 I was a 21 year old Army soldier and was a “pot head or head for short. Believe me when I say nobody got through their year tour of duty without some escape be it booze or pot. Then the local children showed up with these little clear plastic containers of what they called “coke” we all thought it was cocaine and nobody in 1971 had any experience with it. The kids gave us instructions and we went back to the camp, tapped a small amount into the container cap and snorted it. Within a minute the rush hit and quickly you were spinning. I became nauseous and ran to the latrine and vomited violently. I became sweaty and nodded off for probably an hour. When I sobered up I thought that sucked but some of my friends loved it. The next day after hearing them raving about it I decided to try it again but got the same sickness. I decided never again. Probably a month later the Army admitted that it was 95% pure heroin and they were having an addiction problem. Lots of my friends and fellow soldiers became hopelessly addicted and totally useless in battle.
The truth is “ but for the grace of
God “ I would have been one of them.
the ones who used the H have self respect. its like working for an employer that requires drug tests: its not about it it and of itself, it is about the too far authoritarianism.
It feels like heaven, then comes the hell of withdrawal. I'm a veteran myself I completely has my knees destroyed in the army when we were hit by an IED I was put on pain meds and then taking off and I found that heroin was cheaper started smoking it and it makes you feel great like you can do anything Bert the withdrawals are always just around the corner and they will tear you to shreds.
Thank God I clean my life up and got away from that shit
Who's Bert?
I think this is actually very important you do this. Good job. Recovering alcoholic with 6 years clean. Much love my man. Glad your breathing and still with us. Many didn’t make it.
I hated heroin high. To lovable and yet too empty at the same time. I felt like my entire personality got temporarily erased. It's been more than a decade, tried 3x and still think about it often. I don't think I'll do it ever again
Please don’t. Aum Shanti🙏🏼❤️🕊️
Keep going brother, and same to anyone else staying clean one day at a time. Never forget that no matter how bad a day might feel you’re making progress, you’re getting free and it gets easier the longer you do it uninterrupted. I’m a recovering alcoholic 12 years sober. I went into DTs so bad in my mid 20s the withdrawals itself would’ve killed me without medical intervention. I couldn’t stop and I couldn’t see how I could ever fix everything that I’d broken. I don’t miss anything about drinking now. I like being free, I like being me 🙏
I am so happy you were able to get away from this lifestyle. I know a bunch of people that died or have addiction now. This was very informative!
I went into basic training addicted to heroin. I was shooting up about 40-50 bucks a day. I’ll tell you, those first 5 days of basic training were a nightmare you’ll never want to know.
Bro you’re a madman lmao
That's a good plot in a movie or something wtf 😂 imagine having Sargent Hartman find a syringe in your footlocker instead of a jelly doughnut lmao
Always wondered where drug addicts get their money from , I mean its 1500 per month just for drugs , it's a hell of a lot.
I'm glad to hear you are clean. Stay strong.
Apparently it’s called a party drub because in the 40’s and 50’s after the moonshine era, folks were searching for something similar.
I am not into drugs but this was certainly the best description of how it must feel. Smart kid, I hope you get rid of it and live an amazing life, you surely have the potential.
thank you for your kind words that means a lot!
The first drug I used was heroin. Insanity of course. I understand why now. I did it because I was totally traumatised by a dreadful home life. 4/10 of my cousins are/were heroin /crack addicts and my family think "we fell in with a bad crowd" rather than indicative of a serious problem with my family and child abuse.
I'm coming up to 21 years sober at the end of this year. I'm proud of myself. A big part of why I want to be and am sober is because I've done so much trauma focused work.
Good stuff my guy, keep it up!
Anybody with hard drug addictions are sufferers of trauma, most likely from childhood. 1st step in getting out of the downward spiral is stop using then learn to love and be kind to yourself. Addiction sux.
I had 2 knee replacements and was put on large doses of Percocet and Vicatin.
It was a controlled addiction by my Dr. While I loved taking them to releave the pain it was a nightmare being weaned off of them.
I still crave them but am clean off of them.
Thank God and Jesus!!😊
729 days since my last OD, and subsequently my last use... Ever.
Tomorrow is 2 years of life and love and respect back in my life.
Thanks for the video, awareness in any way is a necessity.

Great video man. I'm sure you deterred many people from trying heroin. I've never tried it for those same reasons.. I have a history of addiction, if I were to try it 100% guarantee I'd do it until I'm broke, homeless, and it kills me.
Same, I know I'll be chasing it for the rest of my life. I think about it all the time.
I sure hope so. That is definitely the goal of this video. Be brutally honest about what it is like
This video made me think of this quote that I keep hearing randomly in my head:
‘I guess if it’s too good to be true then it probably is’
Very good description brother !
I was there as well the way it makes you sleep is like heaven...but the withdrawalls are pure hell ! Congratulations for beeing strong ! It plays with your mind way long after you stop takin' it....
First of all, thank you for being so open and honest. I came here in search for assistance for a family member in their 40's. I never had an addiction to opioids, but I did use a lot of chemicals/pills when I was younger, eating them like candy. When my wife became pregnant with our first child, this was an eye opener (as well as a near heart attack) because now I realized, not only am I damaging myself, but now I may be or have caused damage to an unborn child. What have I done?! This made me sit up and take responsibility. Again, it scared the crap out of me. I thought all I was doing was messing up my life. Daniel, I wish you the very best in your recovery. While it may seem easy to judge users, none of us know what others have been through. Yes, our associations do have an affect on our decisions. However, there are other factors that way so heavy on us that we desire that euphoria to escape the tragedies (abuse, dysfunctional families, hypocrisy, loss of loved ones, etc) that so many of us suffer. It is a struggle to change, but unless you can see a better way or the need, you simply won't do it. You are afraid to lose that euphoria. Life is difficult, at best. There is a way to escape all this worlds horrors, but it does require something from us, as individuals. It takes time and effort, but the benefits are worth it now and into the future. At present, I am 65 years old. I have been clean since my mid 20's. I have a beautiful family, grown children and grandsons. I'm not rich materially, but I am rich in the peace I have, as well as an international network of friends. Many have suffered the same and even worse. Now I enjoy helping others in their life struggles. Again, may you have success. And may anyone coming here feel free to reach out to me as a friend. Real help is available.
As someone who struggled with recovery for many many years I will tell you smoking and snorting doesn’t compare to booting it. But the ecstasy gets smaller and smaller and soon you are just trying to “stay well”. I always got the energy until I sat down for a few minutes then the nod came.
Thank God for my sobriety. It’s been 8 years since I used and I’ll tell you the high wasn’t worth the lows.
That’s probably the best explanation of what it’s like to be a heroin junkie, well done I’m glad you’re doing better brother. Peace out.
Thank you man everyone has been saying this is the best description of what it’s like. I’m glad you all feel that way. Thank you for your support because it means a lot to me!
You are very honest, but it is apparent from your demeanor what this drug has done to you. It is a very scary thing. The only thing that scares me more is K-hole (disassociation). I have never tried drugs and never will. Thanks for your video.
I really enjoyed your video , thanks for posting!
Suboxone saved my life. Even though it’s not ideal to feel so dependent on it, I have managed to stay clean from other opiates for 15 years now. Getting on that medication allowed me to finish college, and have led a very stable life with a career that I love. I’m so glad to hear you managed to get yourself clean, it’s such a brutal statistic that doesn’t typically fall in our favor.
Same for me been on subs for about 15 years and it’s helped tremendously. Definitely better the H but still pisses me off that I’m dependent on a drug to make it.
I just hate how it doesn't work with fentanyl:(
Im on Suboxone as well! It’s been a godsend! Sober coming up on 4 years and when I started on Suboxone I was taking 16mg a day. Now I’m down to only 4mg a day! I tapered down at my own pace. Next I’m gonna go down to 2mg a day! Im so happy I’m sober now! My life was shit on all the pills! $300+ a day habit! Was in debt and my credit score was 350! Now I’m almost 100% debt free and my credit score is now 768! I’ll never touch another pain pill for the rest of my life! Little round devils!
@@Pewpewpew1991that is so true. all the people that switched to subs in the 90’s and early 2000’s will never know the sheer agony of taking a sub too soon when youre withdrawing from fent
Be careful with Suboxone. My late father became dependent on it to the point of addiction.
You are a king for being sober, I’m a marihuana addict myself, one month in sobriety
i watched this to try to understand my mom. no matter what i still can’t understand why, and this is coming from someone who struggles with addictive tendencies on an extreme. i’ve spent years with a self h@rm addiction and also weed but i just don’t understand. i think i can see a bit of her perspective though, so thank you for that
Drug addiction is a symptom
I was once told this by people i knew who tried heroin....
The high gives you everything... the trouble is: the withdrawals feel like everything has been taken away from you. This means you go back again and again.
You got massive balls bro, being honest bro and actually kicking the habit lots of respect, my mom was a heroin addict but I never tried it, maybe I will one day, I pretty much tried everything else.
Don’t try heroin…
I wanna know what things feel like before I die, anything is okay if only done once.
@@baileytaylor9798 no not true at all
@@bryceamari1479 maybe not anything but most things.
I have the same ideology, I want to try it all at least once. But the issue is that heroin is very hard to try only once.
It's comforting like the warm hug from mom when you are little and scared.
My road was malt liquor, weed, weed-laced with crack cocaine then crack cocaine by itself. I suffered many years. I even went to prison. I lived in Nashville, Tennessee still on crack until December of 2009. In very late 2009, I got clean and sober. I have been clean ever since. The good thing is that my mother lived to see me clean. She passed on recently. I never messed with heroin. Never wanted to. Thank GOD for that! Peace.
Hey I’m proud of you man keep striving. My dads been on it all my life so I’ve seen first hand what it can do to your life.
Nice, thx for the video. Glad you started doing this "how it feels" series
Thanks for the support bro! And yea some people actually suggested it to me so I’m trying to crank some out. They are definitely fun to make!
@@danielsinrecovery they are easy to watch because when I watch your others videos u often talk about many things including the subject of the video, while this type of videos are straight to the point
First time I used tar was 14 and I went to rehab when I was 16 for it! I was sober for Almost 11 years before I relapsed and OD. Been sober for over 4 years and I pray for all those who still suffer. Lost many friends it’s why I don’t have any friends.
Say no to drugs kids!!
Spot on. In the beginning its so good but tolerance sets in quickly and you need it to not be sick.
yup these are facts
The tolerance buildup is so fast man and before you know it your 40 or 50 dollar a day habit is so damn unaffordable you have to do shit you would never under your right mind do for a anything... what was once a good time becomes such a heavy burden instead of feeling good you become miserable.... lookin good Brother!!! Keep it together!
Exactly bro ! You are absolutely correct on this one!
Thank you for sharing your story. I’m glad you got help. My sister and brother were both herion and crack addicts. My brother died on May 30th,2023. My sister went to rehab in February 2023 and has been clean. She goes to the Doctor once a month and gets an injection (I forget what she told me it’s called) it’s like a jelly substance and she gets this injected every month and you absolutely can’t do drugs. You don’t have any cravings, and plus your body will reject it. My sister was trying to get my brother to go to where she went. He did go to rehab once, he was put on liquid methadone then after that he got on suboxone. I just wished he would of stuck with it, but they have to want to get the help no matter how hard you beg them
I'm sorry about your brother, may he rest well. I pray your sister continues on her path to wellbeing. All the best!
@@zack7438 Ty for your kind words, I appreciate it❤️
Thank you for this detailed explanation. As a teen , I was trying all kinds of drugs but stopped at the opiates .. heard too many horror stories (1977). Stopped drugs at 19 . Alcohol fkd me up for the next 20. Im so glad you are here and in recovery . I feel so badly for anyone who gets hooked . Life can be so hard and people you thought were your friends just use you up and throw you away. Best of luck sir 🙏
What does it feel like? It turned me into a zombie and it made me vomit out a kidney. It smelled like cat urine and molasses and burned my sinuses when I booted up. The buzz was seductive because I never had that orgasmic hit that everyone talks about; instead, it ran roots into my psyche. I seriously think the only reason I dodged the addiction bullet is because it made me so sick that it wasn't too fun.
I was sniffing glue in my tiny town in the early '80's in my early/mid teens. Heroin just wasn't around. If it had been, I'm more than sure we would have been into smack and the relevant horrors.
My nephew died from it at 25. His cousin died from it couple years before..
My nephew had been in prison over it, on life support a couple times over it, in many rehabs,....but he always went back to it and it got him on Thanksgiving in 2017.
2023. My son is a former addict. The black cloud of relapse hangs above my head. My fear? It’s Xylaxine now. If a former addict does it, they could drop with that needle in their arm. That’s how strong it is.
I know it, one of my really good friends just passed away from it, and fentanyl. I hope that your son never goes back that way and hope he has an amazing and healthy life!
When I was growing up I was taught that heroin was a very bad and dangerous drug and to avoid it so I had it in my head that the buzz was also bad but I couldn't have been more wrong!! I was late to the party and didn't try it until I was in my 30s and the highest was the best buzz that I had experienced and that's the trouble!!! the high is so nice it draws you in and because you don't get addicted to it straight away you think that you can control it and it's the total opposite and no one told me that if you take it for 3/4 days straight you become physically hooked!!! I wish the high wasn't very nice then more people wouldn't get addicted!!! The best way to kick the habit is to not start in the first place!!!! I've been clean 5 times and nearly 20 years later and minus my family and friends and career I'm still fighting it!!!!
I am so impressed with this young man’s honesty and bravery his words I’m sure are aiding someone else who’s might be grappling with an addiction.
It feels fucking great. All your problems cease to exist. It will catch up to you and your body will always pay the price. Now 6 years clean, I'll never touch it again.
This video scares me. It’s crazy how something man-made can make you feel so good and draw you into the point of no return to where you have to rely on it. I hope that everyone who has ever tried or uses this drug can somehow find their way out. Be safe out there people and if you’ve never tried it please don’t make that bad decision because it could flip your life around in the blink of an eye.
My drug of choice was alcohol. 1000 days sober this june 5th! I am so relieved that I never tried anything beyond pot. I instinctively knew that if I liked something a lot, I’d be too weak to stop doing it. Heroin would’ve destroyed my life.
Bro the itch... The itch on opiates for me is so prevalent. And when you keep itching it away, it makes it feel so much better and relieved. It’s nuts
Haha yea I know what ur talking about, opiates get me maddd itchy!
It’s like that for me but with weed, I get SUPER itchy and I’ll be itching for like 10 minutes and it feels so fuckin good but deep down I know I’m like scratching off my skin lmaoo shits whack
@@patrickvalverde4747 fire your dealer LOL
@@patrickvalverde4747 herion laced weed
Because you're allergic.
I’m really proud of you, and I liked your video, because this world needs more conversations about these drugs, addiction is a disease, I read that addiction is in our DNA, it’s passed down but the pro’s need to explain this disease because most people don’t get it, your on the right path and with your experience you’d make a great counselor ❤
I don’t think even the pros fully understand it either. But professional help is always a good place to start
Good luck mate , I’m from England and yeah I always loved drugs did my first acid at the age of ten I’m 42 now and heroin got me at 39 , you explained it well I got out of rehab 2 months ago , living in reality is hard as fuck also I dunno it’s just tough I’m almost certainly depressed and heroin seemed Taylor made for me but that stuff is a liar it’ll convince you you need it to get through shit and it ain’t the truth
Sincerely glad you're doing better.....Im 66 yrs old and somewhere long ago i saw a program about heroin addiction and they said that very 1st high was so amazing but after that 1st time it would never be the same. and You were always chasing that 1st high. You would never achieve it no matter how much you smoked or shot up. That always stuck w/ me.
Great job with this video. Thanks for sharing. Most users and non users don't realize that the biggest difference between Heroin and Morphine is strictly a polarity issue. Morphine is polar and Heroin is non polar. Polar compounds are water soluble and non polar are lipid soluble. Lipid compounds can cross the blood brain barrier much faster, which results in a much more euphoric rush. Once the heroin crosses the blood brain barrier and delivers it's message, it's metabolized back in to Morphine. Heroin is simply Morphine that is converted from an Ether group to an Ester group. Therefore, Heroin is a semi-synthetic; not a true opiate. There are only three natural opiates: Codeine, Morphine and Thebaine
I've heard some arguments that one of the other metabolites, 6-monoacetylmorphine, is also responsible for the increased euphoric effect of heroin. Seems hard to accept that purely just increased speed is solely responsible.
I'm not a medicinal chemist and you may be right. However, when you flood heroin, which is nearly two times as potent as morphine that quickly into the brain; it's bound to have a very elevated euphoric effect. Thanks for the comment@@dreammachine86
I applaud your courage in the fight to get off this horrendous drug. It can't have been easy. I also applaud your candid video. It will help many others who are struggling with addictions. Keep up the great work and efforts. I wish you nothing but happiness. ❤
I'm not sure why this popped up on UA-cam but glad i watched it. I appreciate your honesty and give you credit for confronting your demons with everyone. I have never done any drugs in my lifetime other than alcohol. I gave that up cold turkey 25 years ago and can't imagine how hard it would be to give up a drug like heroine. I always knew i could never even try something like this one time as it would be impossible to give up. I'm thankful i never hung around anyone that did drugs as i can see how it could ruin your life. Thank you for your honest explanation as it confirms the right choice i made to stay clear of it. Especially because I'm in pain 24/7.
Never did Heroin but I sat in the ER one night over intense chest pain and they put me on a Morphine drip. Felt really good and I didn't worry about my chest at all. Mister X
I did phenebut for 30 days 1.4 grams a day, starts working after 5 hours, works for 23 hours. Warmth, very relaxed, loving feeling of chocolate milk drinking and listen to music. Stopping using it was hell. Every sin in my mind was blown up very big. So hard to quit. Heroin must be even worse.
It makes you feel like you are perfect! No pain and energy. You feel cured of everything.
Thank you for your insight. Good luck with your ongoing recovery.
May God bless everyone reading this and know you are loved❤! Please quit this harmful substance!
I agree, I myself was a bad addict before I broke away. It's the most terrible thing you can possibly do to yourself but while you do it you don't know or care. Thank God I kicked, I hope the same comfort will one day help the others who are still chasing.
thanks, really opened my eyes, my daughter was an herion addict,she is clean now, she never talked abour it'
She is a very strong person! Much love from California to wherever you may be!
Absolutely I can’t imagine being on the other side as a parent
