Hi, i am maggie, i am 20 years old and i have been struggling with a heroin addiction for three years now. This is the first time i actually quit. I have been clean for a month and 6 days now, but the mental part is so hard for me.. I had to completely leave the state that i was living in and come to a new one to get off the s***. i couldnt do it with the people i was hanging out with so close to me, but i still am struggling with it, i get so depressed i dont even want to get out of bed, i dont want to go to work, i dont want to do anything. When does it get easier. I think i just need somebody to talk to that has been there Nobody understands where i am coming from, i feel like i am in this alone.
Hi Maggie,
Babes, I am so feeling you. We've all been there us people on the Board here.
Hey, congrats on getting clean. You're doing good, and you must want it really bad if you relocated and all. Give yourself some credit, Maggie.
It is tough, honey. Know it can be done. Hey, plus this is your first go and that's awesome you've come this far. You never know what to expect. You'll probably get depressed. Feel like you've lost your best friend. That all happens. Best thing is if you can fill up your time with something new. Or actually something old you had a passion for before dope. Keep your mind going. I know you're probably thinking "Pffffffffffffffffffffffftttttttttttttttttttt". I used to think that when people said it to me when I was newly clean.
Maggie, not pushing you or anything, but have you checked out any Meetings. It works for alot of people. I'm not a Meeting goer, but I know people that it saved their lives. How about new friends and all? Are you up for that yet?
Not sure of any of this helps. A month and six days is GREAT. I promise you it gets better! I hope you come back. Everyone here is wonderful, and we were all you once. I'm not an authority or anything. Hey, tapping these keys on here helped me many a times. So, that could help you as well. Just stick with it. Keep going. Some days s*ck and some are better. You can finally sleep at some point. You'll catch yourself laughing. Support though is essential so you can talk to us anytime.
Just give yourself a chance, Maggie. Know you just keep going. One bit of advice somebody told me once and it is TRUE. It only gets harder if you pick up. It gets worse. You're in a good spot. You're doing something that is not easy. You stay put and this is just me, but I know people this helped too. That Fish Oil stuff. Omega 3. I swear by it for mood. Just a little tip there. Hang tight honey you can do this.

Hey there,
I'm going through the same thing right now. I totally know what you are going through. I've mess up on Saturday and now that is all I think about, ya know. For me it is the stress, I think, the stress of life that makes me want the junky life back. I can't go back to that I have a son and also I'm on parole.
There are a lot of people here that you can talk to, please feel free to jump in, in any of the threads.

Hi Maggie -
Very proud of you and your recovery - I am a mother of a 20 year daugther
I will be picking her up tomorrow from rehab. ( first time) I am afraid for my daughter and her friends she hung out with - I will hope she will make the same choices that you did -- keep it up - and you will be fine.
Blessings
