This may sound weird so here goes anyhow. I stated drinking at 14, pot 10, pills 11, coke 20, heroin 25. Once I was deep into my heroin addiction I stoped drinking. I went to a methadone clinic for 8 months and am now 11 months off heroin. I have not used coke in a year. Pills were never a big thing but, I have used valuim in the last 3 months, while coming off the methadone. I tend to say i've been clean 11 months but, that only refers to heroin. I have a new found urge to drink again, which I indulge. I know this drinking could turn into a everyday thing, I take things to the extream. I have been drinking now to kill the urge to shoot up. This is not good I know. I quit heroin only to start drinking again. I still have no control of my life.
Its so hard your just swapping one addiction for another.
I pop pills then that makes me want to drink and its a merry go round. I am only a few days sober and have not taken any pills or took any drugs for a couple of days.
I stopped going to meetings and have just gone back again, its the only thing that helps.
Otherwise we have no chance. good luck xx

the thing about drinking is, it lets your guard down, before you know it you could easily end up back on the drugs.
Think of all that hard work you have done to be clean.
Try your hardest to resist the drink, its all part of the downward spiral.
In the end it will make you depressed, then you are going to want to be up lifted again, its all a viscious circle.
Try and stay sober and give your body a chance to repair itself

its about controlling it rather than it controlling you...easier said than done and we all know that...what I have come to realise is that YOU DONT HAVE TO DO IT ON YOUR OWN. there is so much support available and you have kicked one addiction so you no you can kick them all keep focused!
