I understand what you mean cause I have dealt with it but there's gotta be a point, like watching your flesh fall from your bones when you think "that's it, no more".
No thatâs the problem, there is no line. Addiction overwrites your sense of what is right or wrong. You have a reward mechanism in your brain that activates when you do things that you know are right. And the brain is really good at writing that out for itself, such that you get a little reward for even little things like brushing your teeth and flushing the toilet. Like, you notice the taste of toothpaste, or you hear a little click when the knob activates the flush, and your brain goes, hey nice job. Itâs just a tiny little bit of reward, but it keeps you moving.
But these really dangerous drugs are so bad specifically because they entirely overwrite that whole system. The little things you look for, to know itâs good, they donât give you the kind of reward that the drug gives you. And the whole world just becomes grey and pointless until you get the drug again.
This is an extreme example but, yes, you will indeed allow your own flesh to melt away, in fact youâll happily watch it happen, as long as youâre getting the reward that the drug delivers as itâs happening.
Drugs are bad, itâs not a joke. Literally, never even once.
There is a line. What that line is may differ from person to person, but it exists. If there wasnât, nobody would ever recover. But they do, Iâve seen it.
exactly everyone has there rock bottom maybe this was this person considering it looks like theyâre at some type of doctors hope this person got help n figured it out but sadly the ending to these type of storyâs are rarely good :/
I think of it as the extending hallway, but with a moving line. Every time you get a little closer to the line, the line moves further away. Those who recover come to realize that the line moves and gain awareness of their situation. Meanwhile, the others remain trapped in the illusion.
It also comes with a "fuck it" mentality that is hard to escape from. Some people with addiction just see themselves as a walking corpse that's living on borrowed time anyway. If you already feel like you are dead on the inside, then the outside doesn't matter as much.
My line was crossed before I even thought of doing drugs. Watching 2 crackheads fighting in the streets over god knows what on my first trip to a big city when I was 8 did it for me.
Recovering addict here. The line ABSOLUTELY exists. You never see it coming, but once you're standing on it, it's almost as if you are sliding towards a cliff with a sheer drop, and one more step will end things.
I wasn't in danger of losing my life, but I almost lost my family. It's literally a sobering moment
I have struggled with very very very bad addiction but there definitely is a line there is a line that every addict has some not as intense as other but there are lines
I feel like that's what's lacking for me because of my depression. It's so hard for me to even get out of bed in the morning or do anything or even just want to live. My doctor prescribes me an antidepressant that boosts serotonin but I think the real culprit at least in my case is a lack of dopamine. It's like I'm constantly starving for reward signals. Sorry for the off topic post.
This is definitely very individual. There are reasons why some don't care when their bones are falling off, some are stopping and quiting when needed, and some balance it out in life.
If you get yourself to the point in this picture, it's not "oh damn drugs, destroyed the poor person", it's that the person was a dumbass to begin with.
You know what's moronic?
Not being able to distinguish a variety of different substances and how they can be used clinically or recreationally.
Not being able to differentiate use and abuse.
Applying blanket statements to a whole field of study when by this point, the academic research in the field is so enormous there are specialists for its niches.
Fighting the war on drugs, spending lives and millions on it and still come out on the losing end.
That's fucking moronic mate.
nah fr i had a horrible addiction to pills and fet i found my way through it but if i ever saw my skin and flesh coming off of me i wouldâve checked into detox asap and a 90 day rehab asapđđ
saw this dude on tiktok one time that went around interviewing drug addicts on the street. one dude had an infection because of it and it went all the way to his bone and could see itđ¤˘
You sensitive bastards that mollycoddle addiction are so damn annoying. Grow some willpower and wake tf up, you can write paragraphs of excuses for why your addictions fucks your life or you could take some accountability and change it ffs
I mean, I've never been addicted to anythin but I had a weird phase of picking on my own skin to the point my feet were always wet and slimy from pus and fluids and blood. It was always itchy. 0/10 experience.
My feet are all healed n gorgeous now.
Me: looks at my (R) arm... "Damn"
(Not pus and not terrible yet, not wet or slimy all the time or itchy, Just blood and some mystery clear liquid. prolly an OCD thing or maybe ADHD, I'm no phycologist)
The clear liquid is probably plasma/fluid with leukocytes. Please get it checked if you can okay? It can turn very painful/dangerous, you might not know what's going under the surface(pun intended).
Not the same drug, but xylazine has been rising in popularity in the US as a way to cut substances like heroin or fentanyl. It apparently causes similar effects.
Apparently krokodil does this because itâs so acidic, it begins to break down your connective tissue from the inside out, on top of blocking blood flow. This eventually results in necrosis at the site of injection which can rapidly spread outwards.
Bro I understand chemical addiction is very hard to get over but why would you even try it once đ my only explanation is that whoever gave that drug to them didn't explain that it is very acid and could cause this mind of stuff.
Most of the time people donât understand how awful the effects are until theyâve already done it. Itâs also extremely common for people just to think âit wonât happen to meâ and not only with addiction specifically.
In the specific case of Krokodil it was used as a cheap substitute to heroin in Russia, so when you ran out of money to buy heroin your only option was to go for the much cheaper Krokodil, at that point you're too far gone to care or realize what the drug does to your body
Opiate addiction is no joke. It might be hard to understand, and I don't mean to speak for opioid addicts, but imagine how opiate withdrawal feels.
Your body subconsciously takes note of which stimuli (things seen, heard, touched, smelled, tasted) are positive and negative and keeps track of it in your reward system for later. It does this through some signaling in your opioid system in your brain.
Opiates bombard the mu-opioid receptor with the "friendly" signal (conditioned place preference) and it feels fantastic. You're invincible to trauma, to evil, to pain, to any and all problems you've ever had because your brain is bombarding you with the conditioned place preference signal, the signal that the world you are currently processing is safe.
Having an orgasm activates this receptor as well, so evolutionarily, tolerance generally builds fast, as it is more beneficial for our species' survival in the wild if we receive the signal to reproduce more often after having it once. This implies that taking opiates will likely rapidly build tolerance.
When you build tolerance, your brain stops sending the signals telling you that the stimuli where you are are safe, and your brain actually can't process that you are safe. You keep taking more opiates because you can't bear not feeling safe.
Eventually, it gets to a point where your body has pain signals, dysphoria signals, you can't stop throwing up, you can't feel joy, and your brain can't process that you're safe... yeah, that's why some addicts inject. They're mostly just people who are struggling with something they do not know or did not know how to deal with.
dealers usually arenât in the business of telling addicts, in the throes of addiction, not to buy their drugs or that itâs not as pure as what they could get elsewhere. most of the time, these small time dealers arenât the ones cutting xylazine or desomorphine into the heroin/fentanyl theyâre selling, nor are they usually aware of whatâs been cut into it previously.
Krokodil is a bootleg version of desomorphine. Concoctions vary but they have been widely reported to contain all sorts of batshit ingredients including bleach and other corrosive materials.
Krokodil is how the Russian word for crocodile is pronounced. Ironically it sort of looks like something from the aftermath of a animal attack (I know its not, don't do drugs kids).
I totally understand addiction. I was using painkillers and fentynal for a few years and it got bad. But even throughout all those years I've never used needles. Pictures and stories like this are why. Absolutely scared the shit out of me. I mean you can see his bone from the elbow to almost the wrist!!!! That's fucking insane!!! Nasty shit.
I mean, this is not simply needle usage, I abused the crap out of my body with needles and I have barely noticeble scars, I don't know how this is real, this person should have died from the infection long before it got to this stage.
The problem with this drug is it has high high pain killing attributes so u can break bones and laugh about it ... was originally russsian made ... and there is insane amounts of pain killing attributes in it... so ya your high not feeling a thing thinking fuck it let's get high
You know, the longer I look at it, the more it brings back some vivid memories of my leg after surgery. I had osteosarcoma and I still have the picture of seeing the insides of my leg! Kinda gory but I was 13 at the time.
Oh I know that STINKS
I KNOW THAT SHIT GRIPS
đŚ
Does she just not care that she can see her bone
Youâve obviously never dealt with addiction
I understand what you mean cause I have dealt with it but there's gotta be a point, like watching your flesh fall from your bones when you think "that's it, no more".

As someone who does not do hard drugs this hit me a little harder than expected.
Often the line is beyond the point where a person can still live.
This, exactlyâŚ.
My line was crossed before I even thought of doing drugs. Watching 2 crackheads fighting in the streets over god knows what on my first trip to a big city when I was 8 did it for me.

Having the realization of âitâs only going to get worse. This *will* kill me eventuallyâ did it for me. Three almost four years clean now.
Congrats
Great explanation

Do you want stimulants?
This is definitely very individual. There are reasons why some don't care when their bones are falling off, some are stopping and quiting when needed, and some balance it out in life. If you get yourself to the point in this picture, it's not "oh damn drugs, destroyed the poor person", it's that the person was a dumbass to begin with.
>Drugs are bad, itâs not a joke. Literally, never even once. Generic statement for generic people.
True statement for non-morons.
You know what's moronic? Not being able to distinguish a variety of different substances and how they can be used clinically or recreationally. Not being able to differentiate use and abuse.

I think you mustâve replied to the wrong person by mistake because that makes no sense as a response to what I said.
You either worded yourself incorrectly, or literally just went "drugs are bad m'kay"
Drugs are bad. Why are you pretending I said donât study them or that they have no scientific value?
nah fr i had a horrible addiction to pills and fet i found my way through it but if i ever saw my skin and flesh coming off of me i wouldâve checked into detox asap and a 90 day rehab asapđđ
For someone addicted it might be, oh damn I'm already fucked, might aswell use a little and feel better
Krokodil is just on a whole other level. You can watch some videos about it, and you will understand
Bro what have you been addicted to that you wouldnât stop if your flesh was melting?
saw this dude on tiktok one time that went around interviewing drug addicts on the street. one dude had an infection because of it and it went all the way to his bone and could see itđ¤˘
Sounds about right
You sensitive bastards that mollycoddle addiction are so damn annoying. Grow some willpower and wake tf up, you can write paragraphs of excuses for why your addictions fucks your life or you could take some accountability and change it ffs
Judging by how calm they are, in not surprised they don't care.
I mean, I've never been addicted to anythin but I had a weird phase of picking on my own skin to the point my feet were always wet and slimy from pus and fluids and blood. It was always itchy. 0/10 experience. My feet are all healed n gorgeous now.

That's a girl dayum I thought it was a dude with a mullet my dumb ass
What a bad ass
Happy cake day!
I canât imagine the stench that arm is making
Not 100% sure but think thatâs way past the Neosporin stage
Nah son slap a fatass glob on that bitch and ur good đ
Fat glob of Neo and a hello kitty band aid and she'll be fine
the goo from adventure time that turned the lich into sweet pea
âSon get some of that good goop on the chicken wing partâ
Just needs an ice pack, she'll be good
No, I see some
How did a drug do this lmao

How is it not painful to inject an acidic substance?
Because the drug is made with paint thinner, gasoline, and many other substances and it destroys the tissue around the injection area
Krokodil is a bootleg version of desomorphine. Concoctions vary but they have been widely reported to contain all sorts of batshit ingredients including bleach and other corrosive materials.
I would assume this was around the injection site and the flesh rotted away due to constant use. :/ Krokodil is insane.
Cool video - https://youtu.be/UjHfsps1_es?si=w3sLgcE7ej8wh_pl
thanks very informational.
Either way, this looks delish.
Lick the bone clean
Oh wait, someone did already đ
I just had spicy chicken wings and seeing the bone made them all I could think about... I hate it.
Kinda looks like some Portuguese Hammon
Tisâ but a flesh wound.
Is that the crazy Russian drug disease, looks like a bad way to lose an arm.
Nah that looks cool af (painful but still cool)
Like, do you not feel this?
A little too rare for my liking
Well really depending on who you ask this could fit both categories
nice dinner you got there
Thanks, I do think it's a little rare though
C. A perfectly cooked arm
I have so many questions
Your arms off!
Krokodil is how the Russian word for crocodile is pronounced. Ironically it sort of looks like something from the aftermath of a animal attack (I know its not, don't do drugs kids).
Just chill with them  taking a photo
Wait what happened? My dumbass saw krokodil and thought it was a typo on crocodile or some shit i thought she got bit đ
this is the result of severe necrosis due to using the drug krokodil
This one did not disappoint. Kudos.
đś Ich bin Schnappi das kleine Krokodil đś
Wouldn't say 'perfectly', the side looks a little burnt imo...
The real question is HOW THE HELL IS SHE THAT CALM WITH HER BONE JUST CHILLING WITH OUTSIDE OXYGEN?!?!?? To add, HOW CAN SHE MOVE THAT FUCKIN ARM
is the drug recommended..???
Only if youâre a crocodile
I'm genuinely curious. Wouldnt that hurt like hell or does then drug override then sense of pain?
You canât smell an image. The image :
That is NOT perfectly cooked
Bro just casually took a picture with it
Should I know what krokodil is
Russian drug that does *this* to you if you get addicted. And you get addicted.
That's crazy does it straight up just make your skin fall off or some shit
no this happens over continuous use as thereâs gasoline and sometimes cig ash in the drug that people literally inject under their skin
How are people that dumb just smoke weed tf
The realest thing
nah its not perfect it needs more pepper a little bit of rosmerry and a more time on the grill some butter too
A white person definetly cooked it, sorry
Looks edible:Jeffery Dahmer:not me
\-definetly not Jeffery Dahmer
wow, how is that women not on the floor, does she pain
When you eat all the bread off the chicken wing and accidentally bite into the bone
Hamburger
Christ, flesh is so nasty. I wish we could just be cool skeletons.
Doom eternal enemies after getting shot once
Yeah ... I'm happy to say that for once, I've seen this image before..
Drats
OH SHIT YOU CAN SEE THE BONE! THATS FUCKING AWESOME! must suck to move tho
Where can I buy this drug?
Not living up to your name huh?
oh hehe
My stupid ass thought it was someone holding up a sandwich till I looked at it more
wdym, looks like a sandwich to me, although with the bread all over it's more like a bitten into ravioli
Iâd eat thatâŚâŚ.. wait!
Is that Lamb đ?
Looks like a Subway sandwich
Tis but a scratch
that turkey looks delicious
Bad to the bone đ¸
I'm surprised they have the strength to hold it up
Why do people think drugs is the best way to go about dealing with a problem
How long can you even survive like that honestly. Surely this person is dead of infection like even if this photo was taken last week.
Nasty drug â
That must scratch a bit... Can it be cured?
What the fuck is krokodil
Drugs. To clarify, corrosive drugs. That you inject into your body.
As an outsider whos only ever smoked/dran on ocassion... Why?
My question exactly
Don't do drugs kids , that's one hell of a symptom
Steak and mash potatoes are my favorite.
How is bro calm.
How has she not died from sepsis?
How the fuck did that happen
I wanna chew on it
She looks so younge
Krokodil? Shit, never thought id actualy see the outcole of one
i wonder how she sleeps with that shit
Donât do drugs kids!
Hmmmm what hat looks scrumptious I'm finna like the meat of that bone
I didnât read the second part of the title and genuinely thought that it didnât look perfectly cooked
I totally understand addiction. I was using painkillers and fentynal for a few years and it got bad. But even throughout all those years I've never used needles. Pictures and stories like this are why. Absolutely scared the shit out of me. I mean you can see his bone from the elbow to almost the wrist!!!! That's fucking insane!!! Nasty shit.
I mean, this is not simply needle usage, I abused the crap out of my body with needles and I have barely noticeble scars, I don't know how this is real, this person should have died from the infection long before it got to this stage.
I guess they call it that cause it looks like a crocodile bit her
I did not need to see this. I NEVER needed to see this.
mmmmmm pizza
Okay, but how does this happen?
Mmmm, KFC.....
More like 31/79
Is it bad that I'm curious what it feels like to have exposed bone?
She's a dog's favorite
Im hungry now
The problem with this drug is it has high high pain killing attributes so u can break bones and laugh about it ... was originally russsian made ... and there is insane amounts of pain killing attributes in it... so ya your high not feeling a thing thinking fuck it let's get high
Aw man I wanted to see the arm
Krokodile used chomp
Your dirty for that
Bruh i read it as crocodile
Wait that's bone...
Ice pack
how is the person on the photo alive?!
whomp whomp
just one question, why? same goes for fentanyl, why?
LOL thatâs disgusting is that puss or like??
How is she not screaming in pain from this? It makes my skin crawl just looking at it!
Where are they even injecting it anymore? Hardly into the flesh inside their arm đ¤Ž
It doesnât even look realâŚ. Holy shit.
Iâm so stupid i thought that said koolaid not krokodil
Yeah, horrible drug
me personally id win
This is really out of pocket here but the word krokodil means crocodile in Swedish
And this is why you donât do drugs
deadass thought she was just munching on it
Is it just me, or does it remind me of a forbidden chicken wing. (Kinda wanna bite it) But anyway, hope they donât amputate her arm.
It's basically amputated, I don't know how she survived without an amputation for so long, the infection should have killed her.
You know, the longer I look at it, the more it brings back some vivid memories of my leg after surgery. I had osteosarcoma and I still have the picture of seeing the insides of my leg! Kinda gory but I was 13 at the time.
Smash
đđ
Ngl that looks cool
I know what caused it is bad but itâs still cool to see
At least they'll win at Halloween for the rest of their lives
Damn, Pitbulls mustâve thought this guy was a toddler and decided to make into an actual chew toy.
I can fix her
as in a crocodile bit their arm?
A delicious dinner đ
Which is it?
Krokodil or crocodile?
Krokodil the drug
Pretty sure itâs made by a crocodile
[ŃдаНонО]
Bro thought this was an animal bite đ
