with experience, comes knowledge, comes wisdom, comes focus.......The first two are very taxing in relation to heroin, not only to oneself but family/loved ones/aquaintences ie: sharers of needles.....once you experience it, you find out who you are-who it makes you-regardless of what you told yourself in the beginning.......only those who were fortunate enough to be able to quit-through God/detox/supporting family/friends....will be able to achieve the wisdom of knowing what heroin offers and the focus to stay clean....unfortunately not many make it to that stage....may God help those who can't help themselves, my prayers are with you.

Very accurately described, well composed...I hope you are free from this slavery, and if not, as I said my prayers are with you....it is not an unattainable goal, though it certainly does feel that way.
