Nu ya mogu, khot' kazhdyi den' kolot'sia - I don't understand the logic. Is he saying that he USUALLY can/would like to inject every day, although sometimes he does want to take a break.

Well, I can shoot up, easily every day, but there are moments when it's good to take a break

The point is that he's capable of shooting every day, but he DOES like to take breaks.

The rest:
...and yet there is always somebody who bothers me (with the stuff), so I can\'t really say for sure (how often I shoot up).

I am always ready for injecting, even if it is every day. It is just sometimes this desire subsides but still, there is always somebody there who offers more.

Well, I can inject even every day. Just sometimes I feel the urgency to take a breake and still somebody is constantly interfering. i.e., I can't concretely and definetely say for how long I'm injecting. Say,for a week orso, or for ten days.

Well i can inject myself

Well, i can inject myself every day. It's just that sometimes i feel like having a break, but still someone' pushing me into it constantly. Well i can't say exactly how often i do it, a week, maybe 10 days without a break

It's just my version. As in your previous sentences i tried hereleaving the spoken language tone

Exactly, he says that he wouldn't mind taking a break
