My neighbour got his friend to phone me and offer me loads of free drugs. Well I say free but I'm sure there's a catch somewhere. Any way I said no. I'm really proud of myself . but at the same time I feel sad. I don't know why I feel sad. I wrote about my neighbour on another thread recently. He's a drug addict and he's somewhat stalking , harassing me. Anyway I just wanted to tell what happened . I donk know how to feel . I'm supposed to be going out with my daughter and I will , but I wish that phone call never happened

(((crying))) You said NO! That is all that matters. Be proud enjoy your baby girl and put the past behind you! As for the stalker there are ways to report him if it gets out of hand. don't take calls from people who don't want good things for you.
Thanks for this!

Well done, cryingontheinside!

A hard part about breaking addictions is when there is some sort of socializing or human connection involved with using. If you are lonely you might be wishing for a connection with your neighbor and feel sad because saying no to drugs also means saying no to any such connection.

Think about what you hoped to get when you relapsed with him. By saying no to drugs, you are also saying no to the possibility of having what you hoped to get.

Most of the time people who do drugs don't even know what drug they're doing. On top of that they don't know or care about the purity of the substance or substances in question. Nor do the druggies care about how much they take or how often they take it. It's no wonder drugs are illegal. People are not smart enough to responsibly use drugs themselves.
Thanks for this!

I'm feeling very fragile. Part of me is craving the drugs. I am very depressed and I know drugs can make me feel better for a short time but in the long run it makes everything much worse. Any tips to squash those cravings ?

Perhaps the resource center has some ideas?

They planted the "seed" of addictive thoughts just enough to smear the fun time you were supposed to have with your daughter. Look at them and the drug as enemies.....protect what you have....you are strong.

If he keeps harassing you ..tell him firmly that you are trying to stay away from that "world" and to stop with the phone calls...Depending on his response....like if he laughs it off...tell him you are serious....and if the phone calls continue you will be forced to get a restraining order on him.....and walk away.
Thanks for this!
