This seems like a stupid goal, but I have been working on the thing for literally months, and haven’t even written a skeleton outline yet, even though it’s due in the next week. It’s really just one small step in my longer-term goals of staying in university, improving my concentration and keeping up with my workload and responsibilities, but somehow it still feels significant – it’s like every assignment is a mountain!

How I did it: I obviously don't want to say too much (in case there are kids browsing this site), but I injected the heroin into my arm. It took me many attempts to hit a vein, and I injected a bit into an area that wasn't a vein by mistake. I made sure I had everything prepared before I began - including a bag to vomit in, but I did not vomit. However, I did get gas and stomach cramps - not enough to make it not worthwhile, but they … Read how I did it…
My dependance on drugs has become a major problem in my life, and yet I never seem to be able to find the motivation to quit. I have stolen and gotten myself into debt, destroyed family and personal relationships, severely messed up my mental health, and put myself in a lot of danger. Just yesterday I collapsed and fell unconcious in the shower, and woke up an hour later, having completely flooded the bathroom (water was leaking through the floor and into my kitchen downstairs), and to top it all off I’d managed to vomit everywhere, so despite the fact I had been in the shower for over an hour, I still had to shower again… I’ve blacked out in classes, on public transport, at my grandmothers house, even sat on the toilet. I desire deeply to create in myself the ability to get sober, and to stay that way
I have a blabber mouth, or what Ruby Wax once reffered to in a TV commercial as ‘verbal diarrhea’. I find myself saying hurtful things, things I regret, lying (or exaggerating), presuming aloud, or giving away too much. Often I KNOW I should shut up, but I just keep yapping! I’d like it if I could comfortably sit in silence, or not raise an opinion, or not argue back.
