BODY WEIGHT: | 155 lb |
I continued doing more and more despite steadily worsening symptoms. At first it was like a cold: running noise, sore throat, and headache. About 4 hrs in I began feeling a tightness in my chest and shortness of breath. My blood pressure must have been pretty high because I could feel each heart contraction vibrate throughout my chest. The discomfort increased along with overdose paranoia. I spent about 3 hrs laying as still as possible and trying to control my breathing. And yeah, praying.
Next day I dumped the rest. That was an expensive little vial of sickness and pain. Each time I crave it I try to remember every detail of the pain and fear. I could be pissed off that I got ripped off with bunk shit, or I can use the experience to stave off an addiction people die for. I think I may be very lucky that my first binge was a little taste of hell.
