Hey just to check in. I have been clean for 206 days now! Although its quite tough at the moment, for it's the first autumn/winter that I live through entirely sober in 15 or 16 years from when I was about 12 or 13 up to now.... I didn't even know I had seasonal downs... It's quite heavy at times ac...

30 days tomorrow and still clean! Do need to stay in touch with my recovery all the time! But it's a learning curve I'm sure. At times I have desire rather than the harsh cravings that I had during the past weeks. As well as suicidal thoughts. If have learned to keep in mind that being Hungry, Angry...

Hey BigBrother You describe well what im going thru for almost 23months ;( does the NA told u that Thats rough, sorry to hear that. Have you been to a meeting? You should be able to find someone in NA who can relate to you for sure! Also, NA is an organisation entirely made up by addicts who have b...

If you mean Post Acute Withdrawal Syndrome, I can offer you some info. PAWS is a result of the brain having to learn to raise dopamine levels on its own again, without the administration of drugs from outside. This period can range from several weeks or months up to years depending on the length and...

In about 6 hours I will be SOBER FOR TWO WEEKS!!! Completely, except for tea, coffee, chocolate. So that's more sober than I have been for over, let's say, 15 years. Do I have cravings? Yep, lots. But as long as I am loyal to NA and keep on going to the meetings, I will be safe. The junkieman in me ...

My history with addiction and depression. Maybe I was already an addict (or someone with a addictive personality) about 6 years before I ever took my first drug. I remember being very intrigued at age 6 or 7 by the evening news and all the stories about drug smuggling and such.. my parents were drin...

Okay! So tomorrow I'm off heroin (clean and serene- no weed or beer even). After about 13 visits to Narcotics Anonymous, meeting other recovering addicts (short and long-term), starting the program in my life (reading the basic text, daily prayers/meditation) and keeping close contact with my sponso...

Hey! Thanks for all your concerns and replies!! Even though me feeling so bad did not make me feel very decisive in taking this step, I went to NA last Tuesday morning, and have been clean since Sunday, I have already attended over 6 meetings and have shared the situation with my parents and other i...

Totally lost myself about a year ago. Completely grasped by this opioid crap. It makes me stay up late and wake up late and unable to perform any task or hobby. If I don't get my freedom back now I doubt I ever will. I am scared that I will kill myself if I proceed. It has been on my mind daily whil...

I remember this guy that was around here a couple of years back, preaching about nutrition to keep a steady mind. I looked up some of that stuff concerning my addiction to heroin- just had a one time relapse last weekend after 3 weeks-. I noticed the whole last week that this relapse was creeping up...

Hey guys how have you all been? I hope everybody is holding up and moving onto a better and happier life. For me it is time to make a drastic change in my life. I have been using drugs (coke, heroin- especially the latter, snorting not IV-ing) way more than ever since October and January-last week. ...

They're all gods creatures Well. She is a dog and she belongs to herself and she's my friend so she belongs to me and no she is not a creature of god because gods do not exist in real life. Get your facts straight. I do not respect religion and do not respect the act of being religious. Do not ment...

Hey, that sounds idiotic but good idea! Did get past this soon after. Kept focus on raising her and learning stuff. Spending time and concentration on her daily lessons helps both of us. It might just be called communication. Still very worrying that I take out my hidden anger on pets when I don't h...

At this point, I have only one friend who still tokes. He respects my decision and doesn’t use at all around me. I consider him and his family like family. They say to give up people, places and things. Aside from that, I’ve totally walked away from all 3. So I’ve struggled with that decision. Not ...

One last note on that.. You're always going to have old friends who think it's no big deal. People think you're ridiculous for taking abstinence from the green seriously. People with the "I'm gonna toke til I die" attitude. Those are the ones you definitely don't want to be around. They r...
