Sometimes I think about suicide. I don't know how else to end this thing I call a life. Most of the times I'll tell myself...I don't want to get high.

But there I go.....buying drugs and consuming them :-(
If you've been in treatment and recovery in the past, then you should at least have some idea of what is recommended when you have a relapse. Find and use what ever safe/sober support you have available to you, even if it is a 12 step meeting. In my experience, trying to do this alone is a set up for more pain and suffering.
Thanks for this!
