Hi, ok for a while ive known my 17 year old sister uses a drug where she injects herself. I spoke to her about it, she said she was going to stop, we were talkin this mornin and i noticed she stil has needle marks in her arms, i asked her and she just broke down in to tears.
She explained she couldnt stop, she said shes scared to go to the doctors about it. Does any body know any way in which i can help her or any way of advisin her on what to do n stuff?
replies would be much appreciated, Thanks XxX

she can stop, although it may take time, she has to want to. I know what shes going through as i used to do it myself. ask her what she takes. heroin and speed are the most commonly injected drugs. try posting on the drugs board as morrocan roll also has experience of this but he only really posts on the drugs board.

But as has been mentioned, it really depends on what she's taking, if its heroin then the withdrawl will be quite different to if its speed, either way a docter is the bloke to speak to.

Take care and good luck, hope things get sorted out
