Nope. Heroin is losing at Russian Roulette 100 percent of the time. Once addicted, you are fricked.

I read about a study once where scientists hooked a wire up to some rats brains. The rats could push a button and the sensation would be direct voltage to the pleasure center of their brains (dopamine generated normally.) Rats immediately started pressing the button continually until they eventualy died. Gave up food, everything. No fricks given. If you do H a few times, you are headed there.

You can quit, but you have the memory of the pleasure button and you want it back bad. For the rest of your life. Drugs like Suboxone and others help fill the void left by the dopamine deficiency Heroin creates. However, they dont fix the problem.

Look at Phillip Seymour hoffman. off the needle for 20 years, then went back to it at the peak of his success. At the time of his death they found enough stash in his apartment for 70 more hits.

I mentioned this earlier, but google Russell Brand. Recovering heroin addict. he is quoted talking about watching a cellphone shot video of himself using. he said it was apalling to watch from the point of view of sobriety years later, but immediately felt jealous of his former self for being able to use.

This is very, very bad shite. The meds discussed here like Suboxone are helpful, but only with outside help and support and strong determination on a personal level.
