While I understand where you are coming from in terms of the "What I saw / What she is" aspect (been there a few times myself), I think you are somewhat mistaken in terms of your next course of action. She said that you meant a lot to her, and she is addicted to Heroin.

Now, either you can walk away from her, being completely bitter about being lied to, or you could choose to do what I believe is the better, more compassionate thing.

I think you should be her friend, and try to get her some help. Now, I know that you did like her for what you thought she was, and now that you know the real her you don't really like her. Don't you think it would be a better thing to do to spare her the difficulty of losing someone she may actually care about, and try to help her out a little through life and addiction?

Sure, she may have betrayed you, but so what. She's got a serious problem. You mean something to her. I think the least you could do is just be her friend.

Walking away maybe the "strong" thing to do, but standing your ground and helping a person through addiction is much more compassionate.
