Where do I even start? My mom was a hard-core heroin addict and shot up in front of me for most of my life. I didn’t think it was any big deal when I started using two. she died from an overdose last week and I think I finally got the wake-up call that I need to stop using. I want to go cold turkey but I’m afraid that the withdrawals are going to be too much. How long will I feel dope sick?

Heroin withdrawals are no joke. You’ll probably feel like you’ve had the worst flu of your life for that first week, and then you spend another week trying to recover from that. If you can make it through about two weeks, it’s important that you don’t try to use again. At least not the same amount that you were using when you stopped. Try going to Narcotics Anonymous and checking out the local programs.
