Not just a drug addict, but specifically a HEROIN or other OPIATE addict only. Generally only used to refer to such addicts that bang their fix rather than railing or eating it.

1. A term used to describe a heroin or opioid abuser. A slang name for heroin is "junk" and therefore a heroin user is called a "junkie". It is generally considered derogatory although in some circumstances it may be a term of endearment between addicts.
2. A term to describe any drug user.
This is technically incorrect but is common as of 2016.

A junkie is someone so empty inside so hurt and broken down that trying heroin sounds like a good idea because they are so desperate to not feel so emotionally fucked up from trauma and depression. Someone who eats breathes and sleeps drugs. Someone who is willing to do anything for drugs. Someone who will destroy their future,themselves , and any who enters their life. Someone who needs a substance to function physically dependent on a drug and mentally unable to deal with any of life’s obstacles or successes without drugs someone who literally can’t live without a drug. Someone who will sell their body for drugs. Someone who will break laws to obtain even a small amount of drugs. Someone who cannot get out of bed because their having cold sweats and their heart is racing and their bones feel like they are all bruised, contemplating suicide just to end their sickness and the pathetic excuse for a life they caused for themselves that’s a junkie.
I got in an argument with someone who knew I had a drug problem so of course their only come back was to call me a worthless junkie and suggest I should overdose.
