I'm new here my names Katie. Well I dunno where to begin...... I guess I'll start by sayin I've been using since I was 16. It's gotten worse over the years. I'm 18 now. I've been kicked out of my house three times but always seem to make my way back into my parents house. My boyfriend doesn't know that I shoot up I've been with him for 1 1/2 years now. He leaves for work early in the morning and comes home around 4 in the afternoon. I shoot up when I get up, before lunch, before he comes home and sometimes on a really bad day I shoot up in the bathroom while he's home. My parents don't know either. I'm at the point to where I wanna tell both my parents and my boyfriend because I know rock bottom is close. Currently we ( my bf and I) are livin in an apartment 4 blocks from my parents. On average u spend a little over $200 a month on heroin. I guess I'm askin weather I should take the risk of tellin my boyfriend and riskin him breakin up with me and tellin my parents and riskin the chance of them disowning me??

Admitting what you are doing is a very couragous thing. Are you thinking of telling them because you now want to stop doing it? Because if thats the case, tell them, and get as much support from them as you can to stop doing it. Have you ever detoxed, or had councilling or therapy at all? Im amazed they dont know what you do!

Hi Katie!
That is the 1st step. He'll find out eventually. It not only costly financial but mentally & emotionally. My son has been using as well. I don't think you hit bottom yet. We have seen people my son knows (and we knew them toO) die of this, and it didn't stop them from using. Nor did the love and help of us or freinds stop him. What will work, is the power within you to totally work away from it alluring self-satisfy power. You have to learn to love yourself and live 1st, and want something better than locking yourself in a bathroom and stabbing a needle in your arm to feel good. You can do it Katie! It's hard, but really you can! Otherwise, you will be soon facing that fact that you will BE stealING from your love ones, go to jail, be in rehabs, go to court, go to hospitals, and all the terrible things heroin brings into your life and the lives of your inner loving family. It's a awful way to live FOR EVERYONE. CERTAINLY YOUR LIFE MEANS SOMETHING MORE THAN THAT NEEDLE! Happiness??? Is not found in a needle. That a momentary pleasure, much like a roller coast ride except a roller coaster won't destroy your life. This will!!! Happiness is not something you can find no matter how hard you try, BUT, it's something within you, when you find peace. Why??? that's because, life then seems so different and wonderful when you achieve it. Right now you see life as you know it. So in your mind, it must be exactly that way! how can it be any different? How can you be wrong? Well the simple fact is, we believe what we believe, even if it's an illsuion, and trust me Katie, the life you see or feel is an illisuion caused by pain or incorrect thinking. So be good to yourself. Tell your boyfriend & parents. NO matter what happens!! You are young, and can change things around. I promise it won't be pleasant, that for sure, but it will get better and better over time. Let nothing in life EVER CONTROL YOU AGAIN, EXCEPT YOU! MY HEART, AND THOUGHTS ARE WITH YOU! YOU NEED TO LET GO, IN ORDER TO LET "REAL LIFE" BACK IN AGAIN! REMEMBER, WE ALL GET FOOLED WITH ILLUSIONS. THE TRICK IS TO LOOK BEYOND THE ILLSUION FOR THE TRUTH & SEE WHAT'S REALLY HAPPENNING TO YOU. JACK

Hi Katie,
I have been a heroin addict since the age of 15. I am now 29, and have been clean for around 6 months. I went to rehab at 16 because my mother saw all the tracks on my arms. I wish I would have told SOMEONE when I fell off, instead I went to prison twice. I lost EVERYTHING more times than I want to admit. Be disowned be single your life depends on it. Don't go the way I went, take some help now.
