Its very short and written from a different perspective. I think it's more polished than the one i just put together though and i still remember the details of the moment i was describing. i'll see if i can finish it today.

This is great stuff apostles.
Please keep adding to this.
I think writing this stuff is the best thing you can do .
It's fascinating reading and probably very therapeutic for you.
It's a great way to make something productive and creative out of the hardship of that life.
Seriously if you just keep adding to this until it's book length it could be Published .
I for one will love to keep reading it!
Great job don't stop with this.

That's been my dream since i was a young lad and i have more than a books worth in writings already i just have to transcribe and organize them.
I don't know if it would have a wide enough appeal but i guess i won't know unless i put myself out there. it's alot of work to put it all together and edit everything down but if i enjoy it maybe i should get serious about this.I don't know.
edit: i also have to work on writing in the same tense throughout my tale.

I really enjoyed the last story. You have very good descriptive dialogue of the situation and atmosphere around the characters as well as their actions. You have some awesome writing skills and should continue!

Ohh , how very unexpected!
i really do appreciate that. If there ever was a thought in my mind to stop writing stories it is now but a distant and unwelcome memory.
Thanks for reading and for the kind words

I remember that other post/story. The pic has since been deleted, but because Midnight is Canadian and may not be familiar, little blue pills = 30mg IR oxycodone (Roxicodone). I don't think I ever got an answer- was that girl a hallucination, or by talking to yourself did you just mean you were entirely focused on prepping the shot, mumbling under your breath etc., and not really talking to her?

I was wrapped up in preparing my shot and thinking out loud. she was so intellectually impaired that i didn't censor myself around her and might as well have been speaking a different language. I liked her though and she was a good girl. I was very saddened when i heard about her passing and wish i had talked to her more and treated her more like a human but i kept a healthy fear of becoming to emotionally invested with a woman like her.I was young and didn't yet know how to set up boundries without being a prick and i hope that she forgives me for that. From the moment we met , at a suboxone clinic, i could tell that she wanted a taste. I am going to finish that story too because it involves some very funny situations and culminates in one of the best sexual experiences of my life. It's also a story that i have written many times over and for a long time was the center piece of my many incomplete attempts at a novel. I was really into her and she was exactly my type. she was tall and towered over my short frame and was almost always in heels so it enhanced this disparity. She had long wavy red hair and skin as white as snow. she dressed in black and red fetish(or goth) type attire and had red freckles. she really knew how to compliment her features. on her hip was a hello kitty tattoo except this one was holding a machine gun and had a menacing smile. I really liked her and was a bit upset when i learned she was a prostitute. I was no sap though and didn't dwell on it too much, plus i had a girlfriend so there was no reason for me to try and play captain save-a-ho. i have a picture of her mugshot that i look at from time to time. shes not as pretty as in my memory but then again she had been worn down by the streets by that point.
i think i'll finish her tale tomorrow.
and yes it was roxis which should give you an idea of just how long ago this was.

Reading this renewed my determination to start going to church every week again.
That's a good thing.
I grew up on the Beat Generation and Burroughs was my favorite. I have always enjoyed learning about the lives of addicts vicariously and it makes interesting reading .
Please keep it up, a great way to redeem something from a dark life.

that actually makes me pretty happy to hear. i'm glad it did something for you.
If i do nothing else before i die at least i've entertained a few folks.
I've recited some stuff while incarcerated and that is about as tough of an audience as you'll get and i had a decent response.
I actually really enjoy writing and should get better at it because looking at the two stories in this thread, its obvious that my writing skills have greatly deteriorated. imo at least.

I wish I could write like you. Ever since I was a kid I would like narrate my life in my head like it was a book, but when I actually write things down I am either too self conscious or not a good writer or something. That was pretty much why I dropped out of school actually. I hate writing for an audience, but it is always in the back of my head that maybe I will figure out how to express myself in a way that doesn't make me feel fake and emotionally feeble.
You're good at it though, and if you enjoy it of course you should do as much of it as you can.

Yeah now that a few more have admitted it but these are EXACTLY the kind of stuff I'm fascinated with. Mainly because I'm addicted to opiates and that will be my future if I don't change it . Honestly no offense apostle. I just am fascinated at the depths people go to over drugs or on drugs. Like you talked about constant paranoia, looking over your shoulder constantly, people constantly accusing and stealing drugs. Piss poor living conditions
BUT
I love opiates as much as I hate them there's just a certain romantic,euphoric out of reality bliss to using the needle. Luckily I'm at one 4mg diluadid a day now ^^. I need out of addiction or at least almost completely . And I see you're now w/ding and I'm sure you must be exhausted and need a break. If ur planning on quitting opiates completely that's Amazon but even small steps are good 
Bottom line though I love this kind of writing because you have to experience it to write it and you have a certain way with words indeed. I used to be able to write like you and recently since after my teenage years I don't take as many pharmaceuticals and I'm slowly getting back into it. I was actually award winning (through the school systems but still)
