When I started using Heroin in Viet Nam in 1969, I was sniffing(Snorting) just a little to ease the pain, worked so well that I increased,increased, Smoked Opium in the O-Den with Papa-San,started injecting and within a few short weeks I forgot all about the Clusterheadache problem, wasn't until I came home and continued this treatment in Texas on the Brown Mexican Junk, Nodded off at the most inopertune times, overdosed and caught Hep B and Hep C. That forced me to look at what I was doing.
As soon as I got clean the attacks started again and I remembered how the whole Narcotic thing started.
Once it takes over you have no control, no mater how much you think you do! Any justification to keep using, is what you will use. I know I've been there and done that.
Masking the problem isn't going to solve it, but it surely will open up totally new avenues to become deeper and deeper into an addiction.
I don't want anyone to have to have to Buck the Horse like I did and this is how I warn, If you think Dancing with the Demon of CH is hard just wait until you have to do the HorseDance,
Nothing personal in my Opinion except that I think "anyone" that thinks they can control the Demons Brother is just fooling themselves! Pappy
