I stopped using heroin a year ago and ever since have been gaining weight. I thought that quitting drugs wOuld make me feel the best I have in years but I honestly just feel like a fat ex junkie.mwhen I was 18 I started shooting meth again to loose weight and even though I was hurting my body I actually felt better about myself than I do clean and sober. When I was using heroin I wasn't as skinny as when I was on the ice but I didn't feel as over weight as I do know. I guess I shouldn't be as worried about the way I look on the outside compared to the amazing work I've done to turn my life around, but I feel like using drugs again would make me look great like I used to. I even have dreams about it most nights. Maybe this is just my mind trying to trick me into using again. I really want to find a way to be healthy and look great. When I went to rehab everyone was telling me not to worry about keeping weight off, but I really didnt want to just swap my drug addiction to a food addiction. Does anyone know any good healthy diets that will let me live a strong healthy life and maybe are also good for hep c?
i gained weight when I quit smoking and joined weight watchers and got rid of it all again. It was fun too. You can eat anything you want just as long as you count the points. Counting points is so easy. Go check out their website! They have message boards like these as well. Don't go back to doing drugs you've done so great getting away from them. Stay in control of your life!! Good Job!! Mary.
