I remember the first (and one of the only) times I ever took a bad shot.
Horribly enough, I was in the bathroom at work. I get the shot in, and almost instantly, the area around the shot swelled up like a golf ball, and turned color. I was freaking out. Didn't even know that could happen.
So very glad i don't do that shit anymore. I remember how horrible I felt about myself after a while, with all the track marks, and having to constantly find new veins, because the old ones weren't working anymore. 
My shooting career ended with a blood infection and months in the hospital. (Always clean your rigs well, if you re-use them.) Over a decade later, you can still see the "sweet spots" on my arms.
Good luck, OP. No hate or judgment, but maybe you could look at this as a wakeup call, and change your ROA. Just a thought.
