21 Years of age. Opiate addiction five years, three of those years spent on heroin, 2 of those years snorting heroin and the last year shooting it.

Went from about a gram and a half a day habbit to the methadone clinic, settled in after a week, relapsed a few times, stuck in there for a little under a month, just gave it up(was on a fairly low dose,65mg), about 5/6 days ago. Still going through mild withdrawal.

Startiting to want to go work, make a few bucks just to go get lit for about 8 hours and regret it tommorow.

Do I start up a hobby?

I know there isn't one definate answer but, any suggestions would be greately appreciated.

So good to hear you are trying so hard! I would definately keep busy. I have heard and seen that taking up a musical instrument or new hobby does help Smile I wish you luck with your struggle here. I am sure you will do this! Hang in there! Smile
