is it possible to get on heroin, kick it and then never go on it again for the rest of yr life?
how easy is it to resist the temptation to get back on it after you have kicked it?
i know its linked to dopamine, would that mean it would be almost impossible for a schizophrenic to kick it and stay clean?
if anyone can enlighten me i would much appreciate it. ive never tried heroin, but knowing me its something i probably might do at some point.
thanks.

In the initial stages of withdrawl all you want is more dope, anything to take away the unpleasentness of it all but then after the spewing and crying etc are done you hit a sag and you dont want any dope at all, you dont really want anything to do with annything and just feel kind of empty. At this point, a few months or weeks depending on your situation your mind starts to think towards drugs and this is when relapse happens for a lot of users. This is also why a lot of people who go back on OD because they use more than their weakened system can cope with and think they can use as much as they did before. Seen many people screw themselves over doing that.
It is possible to get off dope and stay off for sure but once you are truly hooked its always there no matter where you go. There are certain places that I dont go to because thats where I used to score and its hard to go back even after all this time clean.
The temptation to stay off can be easy to destroy and I thought that I was just going to do it a little bit but when you hang in certain crowds then its all to easy. When your hooked kicking looks like its easy but in actual fact its very hard and not an experience that I would want to repeat under any cirumstances. Its like a lot of ex users say, at first you own your addiction but in the end its your addiction that owns you. That might sound pretty dumb but its oh so true.
I know nothing about schizophrenia and drug use really other many people who are homeless and use are mentally ill and if they wern't before they started, then they will be after a while.
All I will say is that its your choice but if I were you then I would not even get started with that shit because you will ruin everything and take that from someone who knows.
