Still can't get clean!
Will it ever end
tried meetings? Tried praying? If you always do what you've always done, you will always get what you've always gotten.
someone told my son once to get clean you have to chase recovery like you did your drugs and that means dealing with the reasons behind why you use.
God bless you and lead you in the right direction.

Try Suboxone.
Try Methodone.
Try meetings.
Try in-patient rehab and
Try out patient rehab.
Try church or praying to a higher power.
Try looking in the mirror and seeing what you've become and ask yourself if you want to die?
Because even users of 10, 15, 20+ years using - the luck runs out...either jail or death..You are so lucky to still be alive. If you want to stay that way, fight for your life back. Just TRY. Do not give up no matter what!
I am guessing you can't stand the cravings and the feeling of restlessness and boredom even after you've detoxed you will want it still. That's why I suggested Suboxone..it's working for me and I was a pill and heroin user for 11+ years. Probably because I'm ready and willing and I truly hated my life of running around all the time for a fix..trying to find money...oy..it was a horrible time. I just wanted out so bad. The suboxone saved my life. I know it did. If I didn't eventually OD, I was going to nod off while driving and hurt or kill someone and I couldn't live with that. Or nod off while sleeping and cause a fire. I burned my chest pretty bad and have a scar where I fell asleep once with a cigarette. Nodded off is more like it, I didn't fall alseep. I nodded. No getting around it. Ouch, yes - it did hurt.
You are not alone my friend...all of us here have issues and are coping with recovery. There isn't much coping where I'm concerned...I actually am enjoying my self-discoveries and figuring out why I am this way. There are parts that hurt though, I won't lie about that.
And, life moves on....with mediciation (subs) and therapy you will find days where you actually forget about drugs maybe for a day or so, you'll be too busy thinking of other things.... When this day comes, you'll know you can finish! you'll know you've won! So keep pushing, never give up. We're all here, listening and waiting to help you. All of us have bad days too, try and remember that. Most anything said here seems to be without judgment so no matter how bad it is, or how terrible of a person you think you are...there's always someone who has it way worse. Hang in there please!!!! Don't give up.
Big Hugs!! ((((((((((hug))))))))) and Prayers going your way....

It can end, it takes a lot of hard work. I don't believe in God or a higher power. I'm sober besides methadone. I have done in patient rehabs / out patient rehabs and in 2004 methadone the 1st time on it they all failed. I'm currently about 2.5 years clean going to methadone clinic going to groups weekly. My groups are not 12 steps and have nothing to do with A higher power thankfully :). Without methadone on my own i know i'ld still be using. You have to change your whole life and lifestyle not just the not using it's a very complex process it requires your ALL.

My man used for 30 years and he's clean at the minute - keep the faith and keep trying.
