Hi (sorry I don.t know your name)my name is Lisa and I,m 28yrs old and have a boyfriend who is John we have been together 5yrs we both are also trying to beat a heroin addiction and we are both on a methadone program I know exactly how you feel we last used on the 20th march 08 which has,nt been long but what I found helped me was keeping a journal (you can just use a notebook)and writing in it everyday how you feel and also have a seperate page and write the pro,s and cons of using drugs and when you are having a bad day go back and look at why it is better not to use, when you are beating an addiction it is better to take little steps everyday and also when your having a bad day and have cash try and go out and buy yourself clothes,book,cd etc anything that makes you feel good about yourself because what I,ve noticed when I,m having a bad day and feel depressed and go out and use it just makes me feel worse with the guilt etc than I was feeling before I took the drug. also try and keep yourself busy and maybe join NA meetings near by where you live or come online to this site and that will make your time go really fast and you will be able to speak to people who know exactly what you are going through(Like me)and also if you are on a methadone program ask your doctor to put your dose up more.I Will be hear if you need anyone to talk to and welcome to the site I,ve only joined this site 3wks ago and think it,s great that we can all support each other when we need it I hope some of my advice might be useful to you I,m going to send you an invite to be my friend so please except if you wish to and if you want to add me as your friend then that would be great. |
