is it possible to wean urself off heroin a little at a time?

Answer:
I See PharmNerd Suggestion as a Relatively Good One, but, Probably for Most people, Not Economically Feasible, I See two Things Actually Going On, These Are, Physical and Psychological Addictions, I Suspect What is Going On Is a Mixture of Both, There is Evidence of The "Homeostasis Model" (Consider the Response of Addicts Returning From Vietnam), but I Think Some Consideration Must Be Given to a "Receptor Model" as Well. In Any Case, I Think Being Under the Care of Someone Very Familiar With Addiction, is a Good Idea.

Probably not. If quitting is a problem it is probably an addiction, in which case an addiction clinic is probably best. As scary as it is, addiction itself is much more scary.

You need help with this, so that they can monitor you, I wish you the best !

rat poison is an acceptable substitute.

Most likely not, and trying a do-it-yourself approach almost guarantees failing. You need professional help and real medical treatment to do this safely and with any hope it will work. There are many options which you need to discuss with a doctor expert in drug recovery. There's everything from cold turkey withdrawal to rapid detox under anesthesia and one method is not right for everyone.

Check into a rehabilitation Centre and they will give you all the informsation you need. Most people say to go Cold Turkey I've never ahd an addiction but I think this would be the best way to go. Take Johnny Cash's advice, have friends and family supporting you :)

Yes i do believe it is possible. In order to do this you must leave your environment, get a new hobby that interest you intently, leave all things that remind you about your heroin use behind, and go through the pain for a little bit. The pain associated with opiate withdrawl is your brain and body trying to get back to homeostasis, however if it is very strong you may need medical attnetion seeming as though this in itself may become detrimental to your health. Truthfully though i do not adivse you doing this. See a specialist, check yourself into a clinic and clean yourself up. Heroin is a very expensive, unproductive, and life threatning activity.
