Drug Addiction Rapid Detox Forums

its been a good 3 weeks from any oxy's, but only 3 days no heroin, i just moved to my new location to get away from oxy,never touched heroin till i got here,iv down graded i think with myself and and the drug, never thought i would smoke heroin, smoked oxy's though. Same feeling or high in a sense , and i feel f@#ked, like i cant get away from opiates. im needing some insight if there is any out here in this forum... Im ding this for the first time ,because im want to be done with all drugs, i feel hopeless, but knowing that im not, nothing seems to make sense....HELP

Well, first thing's first...treatment. What you're doing is too strong to stop it all on your own. Are you a military vet? If so, check out local VA's for their residence programs. They worked wonders for me. If not, check out the various state-sponsored facilities or if you have the dough or have loved ones that do, go private. This is of course pending on the fact that you WANT to stop.

Treatment never stops upon completing rehab. It is during that time where your head starts to clear, when bad emotions buried deep come up to the surface and you begin to see why you abused drugs in the first place. Then you must address those issues. I myself have been clean going on one year now...one tiny bump in the road. I used hydrocodone for approx 3 years, taking nearly 30 a day at the end. It ruined everything. I learned a lot about myself from that experience, and overall I think it actually made me a better person in the end, believe it or not. You have to want to stop first. It also helps to open up to people about it, and you can start doing that now if you've been keeping it all a secret from people. That will help you start your journey big time. Honesty. Just let go of the shame and get real about it. Hope this helped...

thank you first of all for lending a ear. im not a vet ,been unemployed going on 2 years now, and pretty s** feeling not working, my abuse really got bad cause of not working. i dont know, im up and down with all drugs including pot. the feeling of detoxing have really been a part of my usage cause im so use to the feelings,no excuse.. like i said that i moved 1600 miles from home to get away from the opiates. and not even 2 days finding heroin, then started using that. no needles, but thought of.....im kinda scared .....but i know right from wrong, and not trying to have any one feel sorry cause im passed that....i just need HELP BAD.. havent started looking for any state help yet , still trying to get setteled in, i guess i already have by smoking heroin day 4 though, money = bad things........scared........

No problem, and no need to thank me. I get enjoyment out of helping people out with this sort of thing now that I'm clean. Maybe this site doesn't necessarily help to conquer one's demons, but it does help to get things off your chest. Look, the bottom line is that I can think of a lot of things to say. I can share experiences, offer avenues of treatment, encouraging words, etc, but you really have to make the conscience decision to do this yourself and stick to it. And that's just being honest. If you don't mind me asking, how are you managing to make ends meet and support your addiction being out of work for so long? You said that money equals bad things; where is it coming from? Hopefully you're not into a whole lot of illegal activity. The last place you want to detox is jail. Addiction leads to 1 of 3 places: jail, death, or an institution. There is no happy ending unless you seek help. I wish you the best of luck and will keep you in my thoughts and prayers (although I'm not much for praying).

sorry i havent been on to respond, you know what that means....... iv been collecting unenjoyment for so long now, and i think that where i can get away with my using, i really screwed up i did alot of that crap H, i still rather have a oxy anyday, but the hard to getr here, i kinda of think thats a good thing, i dont know, i need to jus cope with this B.s
