Why is heroin addiction so hard to kick

Most people who have never used heroin before have a problem with really understanding why a heroin addict just want stop using heroin . 

People think that heroin addicts are the most self centered people on the face of the earth which can be the furthest from the truth . Clean people ask us if we really care about hurting our families all for a snort or shot of heroin , the answer is we do care and we think about the pain we cause daily .

All heroin addicts who try to get clean often worry about the dreaded withdrawal systems that we know all so well about because if we go to sleep with no money or dope for the next day we get a taste of those systems .

Withdrawal symptoms for a heroin addict is the equivalent to wanting to die and heroin addicts are afraid of those symptoms and that's what keeps most addicts using to stay away from those nasty withdrawal pains .

If you have a addict in your home or family you must be patient with them because when they get sick and tired on their own terms or jail terms they will stop using heroin and never forget the pain .
