How heroin can get by with being such a torturous villain to the human species

Her name is fitting since she is not only the most feared but also the most revered.

Yes, heroin is the most frightening drug of all to anyone who has any real-life experience with addiction. If you are an addict who makes it to recovery without using it, you thank your lucky stars for the rest of your life and wish with all your might that it stays that way.

Heroin is the most feared by those who have used her and those who haven’t. But it is the most revered as well — by those who have.

I am one who thanked my lucky stars, but if I had to recount my experience based on the heroin addicts I love, I would describe it as follows.

Trigger warning on the next paragraph for anyone in recovery or tempted to use heroin. I will demonstrate the reverence and sentiment of those who have loved it before visiting its deadly nature.

Heroin is the heroine of all who are in pain. She heals the wounded and comforts the suffering — easing every type of pain that humans might experience. Heroin virtually removes your most debilitating physical pain and replaces it with a feeling of bliss that floats effortlessly through your veins. But she not only takes away the possibility of pain in your body, but she also demolishes every pain of your mind, heart, and even your soul. Every shred of guilt — removed. Every bit of anger — vanished. Every broken piece of your heart — healed and fulfilled. Like warm sweet butter, one shot will melt through your entire body and take away everything bad. Heroin will take away all your pain and leave you in complete bliss — but only for a moment.

Heroin is revered by her children — for the all-encompassing feeling of contentment that she brings. But she is also feared for the things she takes away. Pain is not the only thing heroin takes away from her beloved. She takes the pain, but with it she takes everything.

Heroin takes your body and your soul. In allowing her to take your pain, you sign a contract for her to take the rest. But even worse than most could ever imagine is the pain she inflicts upon those who stop using her. It is as if she takes all that pain and turns it into something even more insufferable to give you back — if you ever attempt to take your soul back from her.

Where warm sweet butter once ran through your veins, bugs crawl, and scrape. Where your heart was mended, it is ripped apart more than it ever was. Where your physical pain was eased, agonizing pain is inflicted. Your body and soul turn against themselves. Your own body makes you sick, and every time you try to take your soul back, heroin twists it and tortures it. The pain of stopping is immeasurably worse than any pain you ever felt before heroin eased it.

There is one thing that will ease the excruciating and unbearable pain of heroin withdrawal. And that is more heroin. You can get high one more time and ease the pain just for a moment, knowing that you are just adding more pain for her to torture you with in the future. And so it goes.

That is how heroin sucks the soul dry. That is why opiates are the most difficult substance to stop using. Heroin takes your whole soul, your mind, and your body.

Her tactics of torturing into submission are not the only thing heroin has going for her, though. She not only has the most efficient tactics in sucking dry souls of humans, but she has access to all humans who she can get to use her.

You see, you can give a so-called normal person alcohol as many times as you want. They will not become an alcoholic. They either are, or they aren’t. But any person who takes heroin enough times will undoubtedly be wholly consumed by her. She takes all prisoners.

Even worse than the pain one must endure to part with heroin is the fate of those who never do — the fate heroin truly wishes for you. Certain death.
