I've been in residential detox twice before. Each time I have struggled with the residential environment but, more than anything, I've struggled with the emotions that come up for me while detoxing. Both times I've checked myself out on days 6-7. I'm well engaged with an addiction clinic and I'm receiving support there. I also have a T, who specialises in trauma. I have not been mentally stable enough recently and my next attempt to quit using has been put on hold until I'm more stable.
I'm starting to think I will never be stable enough. Maybe there's never going to be a right time to try and give up again. I guess I'm wondering if trying detox again - at home this time - is something that needs to wait. Any opinions on or experiences of waiting for mh stability before attempting to quit a substance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks x |
