Not better. It's just heroin is very, very powerful and some damage you cannot undo. You can't un-teach your brain the pleasures of heroin. You get high on the shit a couple times and congratulations, you can't even see a commercial about recovery without desperately craving it.
I've known many heroin addicts in my life. "Oh he was recovered for years and years but he relapsed and he did his mid-addiction does and OD'ed."
The last one I had to deal with I literally locked him in a bathroom and beat the shit out of him and threatened to call the cops on him(never was gonna do it)for the entire time he was high. So sick of his shit. He did better. I put the fear of God in him. He didn't do it for months. His health slowly recovered. He relapsed. He dead.
And another. He relapsed and left behind a 3 year old.
Too many times I have seen it. I know a junkie that hung themselves because none of their drug contacts would give them more heroin.
If you have a heroin junkie in your life you can consider them a dead man walking.
It is true there is an exceedingly rare breed that can be a "functioning heroin addict," well-insulated enough that no one will let them OD, too intelligent to push everyone away that could help them. The rockstar heroin addict so to speak. And even then, I've known so many of these people and I've only ever met one non-junkie heroin user.
Me, I had one of those heroin analog pills. Roxycotin I think? I snorted it with my friends to see the hype. I nicknamed it "sweet cocaine." The high was absolutely fucking fantastic, probably the best pleasure I've experienced in my entire life. They asked if I liked it. I told them. "That was the nicest cleanest strongest high I have ever had in my entire life, I feel like I didn't even know what high was before that." They both smiled, the girl absolutely beaming as she said, "Wanna go get MORE???? 😁"
And I said, "you don't understand. That shit was so good I never wanna touch it again, ever."
The girl looked disappointed as she should have been, because I was about to forcibly remove my friend from her life as well and they were dating.
