Hi Indigo. I really know where you're coming from here.  I, too, am a 'sporadic' user and I could not do it unless I was on methadone also.

 

I mean, it certainly does DO THE TRICK when one is stressed out and cant take one more minute of this crazy world.  Just do a couple packs and relax......

 

The thing is, Indigo, we are old. 

I think we more or less paid our dues...lol!  

I would NEVER EVER recommend this life style no matter what to a younger user.  Do you know what I mean??

 

Heroin is kinda like a beautiful snake.   So pretty, but the second you dis-respect what it can do and forget about it's power:  bam!  it gots ya!

 

So relax and enjoy, and thank you for being careful.

luv,sue

 

 

i envy you indigo!!!!!

 

man would i love a little to relax.  but i dont have a reliable source!!!!!

 

havent done it since before thanksgiving.

 

love beth

Maybe it's a good thing you don't have a source, Beth!   Sometimes I wish the old man I buy from would disapear.........but I suppose another one would just take his place.

 

But the main reason I am posting is because I want to know if anybody here, in our HoH family, does meditation for relaxation?    I think about learning it sometimes, and I wonder if it works.   Or how good it works.  And how hard is it to learn?   I mean I can barely sit Indian style anymore (old, stiff joints!)  let alone try to sit like some of those positions I see when people are meditating. I cannot even touch my toe's anymore!

 

Is meditating basically just trying to empty your mind of thoughts?  or what?  Is it really relaxing?   Because I can never do that: empty my mind of thoughts....it is anything but relaxing!  Matter of fact it ends up stressing me out because I cant do it! lol!

 

So if anybody meditates....please, any information would be greatly appreciated,

luv,sue

Hey Sue --  I've been procrastinating on the Yoga-Relaxation thing for  years & years (probably decades), even though I've heard nothing but great stuff about them--I've met elderly  people (60s or 70s)  who seem so serene & have that special sparkle in their  eyes  , & they all said it was thanks to yoga--One guy who I met in AA, told me that by spending 20 minutes in the morning & 20 minutes at night, he feels totally rejuvinated  & calm (both physically & mentally). I've always envyed those people     & I don't know why I've yet to give it a  try--its cheaper & safer then junk-lol--But don't expect instant Nirvana--Apparently  the positive effects grow as you get better at it. It sure sounds like its worth a try--nothing to lose.. It was suggested to me to start out taking a beginners class rather then trying it on my own..Well I've convinced myself--lol--I'm gonna go for it when I get back from Jerusalem in mid-January..Thanks for reminding me about Yoga--it must be a sign..

Hi Karen, yeah, please post them, I'd love to learn.  I've heard really good things about it.

Heroin will be the death of me.

Her -o -in its my wife and its my life.

Because a mainer to my vein,

Leads to a center in my head.

And then i'm better off dead.

The so called bliss never lasts for me. I soon need it everyday just to funtion. Then the hell of heroin steps up (heh). With me its all or nothing when I use its the hammer down!! Theres no sporadic chipping here.  need more and more to get high. Then the bills stop getting paid. and its all hell breaking loose.

Got a monkey on my back . A mmmmmonkey on my back back back back Gotta change my ways of life Oh its nobodies fault but mine.

Just because you get the monkey off your back doesnt mean the circus is over.

There is more to treatment then just stopping the drugs, Love Karen
