Im sick of it really really sick of it i've only ever had one week proper clean and that was in jail. i keep saying and trying to do all the right things like i've recently split with my partner who is a user, ive started college i've even moved back to my mums to make my enviroment safer and asked and im looking into a rehab but why cant i break this cycle!!!
If you can stay away from the dope using methadone treatment and therapy ,I say go that route until you get your act together and breakup that cycle a bit.

Hi Carmen ; welcome...Jack is right of course....though its so so hard sometimes isnt it ?....the AA/NA meetings can help a lot with breaking out of the cycle...its really difficult to go it alone...try getting yourself on a higher dose if possible to stop the cravings...breaking up with your friend who uses was a huge step in the right direction...it helps to talk to people though...come here if you can and just spill....take it one day at a time...focus on your college work...try to make friends or meet some friends that are outside your normal group...that is...who dont use...who are into other things that you could try and be interested in...keep your hands busy, your head busy...your not alone in trying to break out of the cycle...and its a hard thing to do, kind of like re-inventing yourself on all levels...but that sometimes can actually be a fun thing if you look at it diffrently...try on a new style...be someone you like, get involved in some things you might be interested in...the world has a lot of things to do besides drugs...it might not seem so at times, but after a while things begin to open up...youve really done some wonderful changing it sounds like...keep it up...come back and talk...were all trying around here to get through each day without the smack...its a bumpy road...but it can be done :)...hugs

Hey Carmen,
It is tough. I think we all know that here. Been there.
You've taken some amazing steps. That's no easy feat for sure. If you can do all that like the courses and moving and all I'm thnking like Jack and Con said. The methadone maintenance route should get you there.
Only better days ahead for you Carmen.

My mom is on the methadone clinic and has been for awhile. She's doing good just make sure to try to get to mtg.'s. Or try to build a sober support system. Best of luck
well done to u going back to ya moms to make ya environment safer.. it's not worked out that way for my daughter,she's been using -despite my rules.. and now at this time of me typing this message-she is on a "rattle" in my home.where her 9yr old sister is living-i cant turn her away-all i can do is be with her through this rattle- as they call it.and hope.. good for u girl.. if being at ya moms keeps u stable then go for it.. i wish you all the best and hope for you to be stable and clean.. keep posting and let us know how ur going.. thoughts and prayers to you
Hey carmen, i was you aswell, i couldn't stand myself a few years back. Felt i couldn't get out of that cycle...samer sh*t different day. Slowly ( and after a few attempts ) i eventually did.
Like con said, maybe AA/NA would help you. I know how hard it is, we all do. Keep posting on here with whatever is in your head. Take care, Kev
