- REALITY CHECK!
- Rotating your spot is
recommended, but sometimes
you may not have the veins, or
the time to find one.
-
- Think about these
things:
-
- Do your best when your
in a hurry, but if
you’re NOT in a hurry, why rush the shot?
-
- Save the
"easy" spots for when you KNOW you don’t have
time. The veins in
your hand look tempting, but if you’re
not in a hurry, then save them for
when you need them. They are delicate
and you can lose them fast.
-
- If you are panicking
about your shot, that
is when you could blow your vein!
- Steady!
Take a
deep breath. Try to remember
what calm feels like.

- STUFF YOU KNOW
ALREADY
- (but a reminder won’t
hurt!)
-
- Try to find a place
to get off where there’s
lots of light. Plan ahead.
- Use a new needle
every time you possibly can!
A sharp point saves lots of wear
and tear on veins.
-
- EVERYONE is
entitled to take care of
themselves, whether they use drugs
or not. Learning to take care of
yourself takes time and thought.
Talk to your friends, find out
what they know.
