karenR answered Wednesday July 27 2005, 3:04 pm: I suppose there are a few who have. It is not real likely that you will just stop without professional help. Heroin is very addictive and one of the hardest habits to kick. Trying yourself is certainly commendable but if you run into problems (withdrawal from drugs can be deadly if you've been on it long enough) Please seek emergency attention quickly.

TheOldOne answered Wednesday July 27 2005, 11:40 am: You might be able to kick heroin by yourself. You might also be able to get from New York to LA by walking on your knees.
But it would be a LOT smarter - and easier - to get professional help. This isn't something to take your time over, because heroin is an extremely powerful and risky drug. Smoking it may reduce (although NOT eliminate) your chances of ODing, but there are still some very serious risks.
You should check out the National Hotline Call Center for Alcohol and Drug Abuse at 1 (800) 784-6776. You can also read their website at [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) . They're free, and they can help you find treatment options.
So far you've been lucky, strange as that might sound. You're not mainlining, so your chances of getting clean and staying clean are better. But don't get cocky, and please DO get help.
