Hi all!!
Ive been an addict for about 14 years now and I been in recovery for about 9 months!! I've also relapsed a few time and am currently sitting with 5 days clean time! This is hell being dry drunk and not being able to use!! I feel like im going out of my mind just wana go score some dope! Been doing NA meetings but they make the craving worse!! I need help seriously and I dono where to turn to!!
Try a different meeting...not all meeting vibes are the same. Some places they do a lot of war-storying and not so much recovery...another meeting may have really strong recovery going on all the time. I will say that my daughter goes to AA after attending NA for a couple of years...she felt that the recovery was stronger and longer-term than in NA, plus they talked more of alcohol than drugs, so the cravings weren't activated.
What do you mean by dry-drunk? Is it just that you are not really 'recovering', just clean? Or are you drinking?

you need to conquer your boredom. tomorrow im starting my 4th attempt at stopping heroiand crack. i sometimes find going to the gym, setting tasks for myself, even little things like housewor just as long as im kept busy. ive always been lucky to have a group of friends who dont use so ive always tried to spend alot o my time in their company so that gear or crack are never the topic of converstaion. the last time i tries to stop i did about 5 weeks, as keeping mysekf constantly busy and my mind focusing elsewhere time went really fast, unfortunatley some personal problems occurred for me and i was back to square one.
well done though, 5 days is awesome :) kep it up..
wish me luck too !!
maybe we could update to eachother every day how we're getting on???
sometihng to think about then, and also 5 minutes of the day kept busy doing it! lol

I'd sugggest keep going to meetings. Like M&M said, go to different ones. You're so right, one is never enough for us.....never will be.
Keep the faith, you can do this!
