We've got some good folks with some good recovery here, and a few still struggling...hang in there and come back to read tomorrow...they'll be around sooner or later. I'm not an addict myself, but the mother of a recovering heroin addict who found what she needed in working a 12 step program. She tried for years in NA and AA and it never 'took'...until she was sick and tired and of being sick and tired (and homeless, and broke, and alone)...the difference this time was in her, in her willingness to listen.

Hi there and welcome.
In addition to what mum n more has said I'd add this:
1) Swallow your pride and ASK FOR HELP. It can be a NA, a website, a detox/rehab; it doesn't matter. You are where you are because you don't have the answers and the power to pull yourself out of the downward spiral. I started here. I've made many many mistakes. But the difference this time was that each time I screwed up, I humbled myself asked for forgiveness and asked for help and NO ONE on this site has ever refused to give me the benefit of their opinion. Whether it was to stop me making a dangerous mistake or to take an over-inflated ego down a peg or two, they've always but always been there.
2)If you are on this site then you must want to stop or perhaps have even started. Don't lose that momentum. I came on here 1st only 3-odd weeks clean and was innundated with a plethora of advice, encouragement, admonishment, it was exactly what I needed to KEEP FOCUSED. I make mistakes all the time but the one thing I haven't done is gone back on junk.
3)Have a little faith. I don't mean it in terms of religion. I know your confidence and self-esteem will be rock bottom but you have to start some where and some time to believe that IT IS POSSIBLE to come off and stay off and for that, every person here is a pHD on this.
4)Don't give up. Even if you do RE-LAPSE it's no shame and no one will judge you or give up on you. This is par for the course. The only person that will ever give up on you is you.
Good luck and do keep coming.
Reshie.

Hi Jimmy,
Hoping you come back. I'm so sorry nobody was around when you reached out. Save for our good lady M&M. You got good vibes from her and Reshie.
