Heroin is bad Renton knows it, Renton's friends are awful and Renton knows it but nothing is worse than the normality of life, so he doesn't choose life he chooses to distance himself into addiction. It is only at the end he chooses to accept the mundanity of life and he chooses to not hurt himself and the people around him and chooses life.
