I wish that people understood that heroin/opioid addiction has no face. It spares no soul, and once it has you in its tight grips, you'll spend your lifetime fighting out of its hell hole. Opiate withdrawal relieves you of all morale and ethical codes you thought you once lived by, and transforms you into a hollow shell of the human spirit you were born with. This drug was beyond a shadow of a doubt the scariest most difficult drug I've ever had to quit.
