I smoke over a pack a day. And for some reason, even though I can't back it up nor will mention or discuss/debate it again, it's not going to kill me. That is not a logical statement, and even if i'm wrong and it does kill me I accept said responsibility. BTW, cigs could around SEVEN bucks here in NYC. Thank god for esmokes! Carton of waves $17. Can't beat that.
I was a heroin addict for 2 years, general opiates for 4. And now i'm in maintenance, and probably won't get out of it do to lack of a reason, and too much risk.
Yes, i'm sharing waaay too much, and nearly certain the only one on this board who can make a claim like that. But i'm bored, and feel like riling things up a bit, curious as to what the reaction might be I guess. Since i'm alone in my addiction, it feels good to spill the beans once in a while.
I think it's so much better to live your life to the fullest, even if it means taking risk. Heroin is a bit too much of a risk, I can't say I endorse it, i'm just speaking generally. Fear of death is a throwback animal instinct. I'm a hedonist all the way. Happiness is everything. Happiness is FAR more important than lifespan. But that's just me.
Heroin WOULD be included in a hedonistic philosophy if the highs stay great...which they don't.
