im in an opiate relapse again. i cant seem to stay away from them. i dont think i will ever be 'ready' to quit for good. it seems impossible to me. im losing faith that i have a positive future and im wondering if i am just driving myself further and further back down the hole as a form of passive suicide

just wanted to share my thoughts. i dont have a lot of people to talk to IRL

Dang! I wish I knew of something that would help, but opioids weren't my drug of choice. I've heard they're especially difficult to wean off of & stay off of. Of course, you already know rehab/detox are possibilities, but I don't know your insurance situation. N.A. would be another possibility, but I know folks have mixed feelings about that, too. Anyways, I just wanted you to know that we're reading along & are hoping things get easier for you. That's not much, but it's all I have to offer. Keep writing & hang in there.
Thanks for this!

I danced with that partner a few times but I was careful. I would get pain pills for my back, knee or shoulder (legit sources of pain, but I could deal with just OTC stuff) or tussinex for a drip cough (wasn't really that bad) and then I would use it up much quicker than specified. When I finished the last dose, I would be racking my brain about how to get more; if I knew my neighbor had some I might slip into his house and steal it. Just a few cycles of getting high on it and you want it that bad. I only took it when I was depressed; if I was hypomanic I would probably have sought it out illegally.
I don't have any specific advice. Just a little bit of understanding of how strong the pull is. if you aren't strong enough, you need to find people to help you resist.

Replying to your last post on roll call sz,

- I posted this in your addiction thread instead of roll call sz cuz the mods probably wont approve there and they like me to put triggers here too because what I talk about is too much idk. Roll call also moves too fast so you probably wont see the post not that my post even matters I'm just a person but because I've dealt with addiction of at least stimulants bringing me to my knees I'd like to help a little because it wont make it worse at least so it's worth helping someone out especially if they're apart of that roll call community we have there.

Possible trigger:

Hey,

I found the way to these sub-forms for me own reasons but I'm sure you can beat your addiction.

How is it going?

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
