I am writting this article about how i could tell my step- sister was taking heroin and unfortunatly passed away due to it so i wanted to write this so u can stop ur friends and family before its too late .

how do you know if somebody

1. eyes the size of a pin
2. always need money and will do anything to get it
3. passing out
4. being slump
5. most turn to prostitution
6. constantly sweating
7. holes in arms, legs ,feet,groin, stomach and back. these may be covered.
8. stealing

how to help them say no to their addiction?

this is not easy

1. keep them indoors and away from the friends they have been assosiating with.
2. they need to want to give up
3. if they want a fix you need to stop them you will proberly get shouted at sometimes even hit but you need to do this for them and their future
4. be there 24/7 and sleep with 1 eye open
5. BE STRONG for their sake they need your help
6. be calm and gentle with the addict getting stresed will result to them needing a fix
7. get them away from the area somewhere they cant get heroin

what heroin does to you ?

it all depends wheather you smoke it or inject

smoking!

 not quite sure but its not so much of an addiction and  easier to kick to the kurb but still hard to do sorry if im wrong.

injecting!

once injecting its harder to make them stop ecspeccially if they have a big habbit my sisters habit cost her £500 a day her boyfriend the same and she had to work for this they inject it sometimes their body cant take it and they will paass out or if the drug real strong watch for the snidy people cos if they are given pure heroin the addict willl have a heart attack if this happens you need to get them to the hospital quickly this can happen in the progress of cleaning up the addict or after being clean a couple of months this is very dangerous and it kills stops the heart very quickly also they are slump sleepy all they really wanna do is take heroin and sleep and steal and work to support their habbit. 

how long will it take for the addict not to want heroin anymore ?

a good month sometimes more depends in how severe their addiction is the bigger the addiction the longer it takes to get it out of their system a £500 a day habit took 6 weeks and thst fighting all the way its hard to do but it has to be done or it will get worse and will adventually end in death everytime somebody puts a needle in them are playing russian roulette with their lives and thats what you need to save !

how long does it take to get over a death of a heroin addict?

it only gets easier you never got over it no matter the cause some get beaen some get tortured by their supplier or  their pimp and some are given pure heroin and their heart will stop in seconds this is usually done after the addict is on the road to rcovery not wanting heroin anymore.

what if they go back to they drug after getting over it ?

they will now need to go and get help from the dr this person needs proffesional help and needs it now dont leave just do it its for the best instrest of the addict this will help them save their lifes do what i never got chance to and love them as they still have a life and save it before they loose it ive seeen it happen and its not nice my sister was 19 when she died what a life she had dont let another addict go down thius road.

good luck
