Re: enduring temporary, but excruciating, pain
if you told me i had to kick heroin for a billion dollars that's no problem. if you told me i had to endure torture that basically pushed me to the brink of unconsciousness and was as brutal and unforgiving as the torturer could make it, i would think twice.

Re: enduring temporary, but excruciating, pain
either you are trivializing serious heroin withdrawal, or I'm taking the tidbits that I've read way too seriously.

Re: enduring temporary, but excruciating, pain
last ditch effort: they're also given all sorts of alternative pain management therapies, heavy duty meds, etc. Also, not all heroin "addictions" are strong.
But yeah, I do put too much faith in what I've read.

[/ QUOTE ] my reason for what i said is that i know several people who have successfully kicked heroin, and they are pretty much fine. i am sure it is brutal but when it's over i know for a fact you are ok. torture that tests the limits of human endurance for two straight weeks, on the other hand, i don't know.

Re: enduring temporary, but excruciating, pain
Two weeks of full on, non-stop torture would leave you a much different person.

Re: enduring temporary, but excruciating, pain
Yes to heroin for tons of cash, no to the torture. That would ruin me for the rest of my life.
