so this summer while in the midst of a severe manic episode I found myself shooting heroin in a hotel room with people I should not have been hanging out with. Fast forward 4-5 months and I have blown through thousands of dollars and developed a pretty bad habit. I checked into detox last week and got clean. I got out yesterday and am white knuckling right now, while I wait to see a Dr about going on maintenance.
I don't know how to do this, I don't remember what to do. I went to gym this morning and a meeting at noon. I don't know how I am going to make it through the night. I will call somebody I am sure and I will get by, but I am afraid it is only a matter of time before I slip up.Holy crap this is hard, my cravings are bad.

Find another meeting (AA meeting) where you can be around others who are working at staying clean one day at a time.
It's hard but be strong but don't give in and keep reaching out for support.

Surround yourself with people in recovery. Get phone numbers and call people. Don't think about slipping up. Just take a minute at a time. Make healthy choices for yourself, one after another, a little at a time. Eat, take a shower, go to a meeting, ask some one to go for coffee or a walk, clean your apartment, read the literature, pray, go to another meeting, get a sponsor. And so on. Do not hang around with old using friends. Hours turn into days, it gets easier, just hang on, you can do it.

Heroin is/was my drug of choice. I was drug free for 23 years not alcohol free. I have never liked drinking more than the occasional beer.
