I have an addiction to prescription amphetamines. I was clean for eight months but relapsed a few weeks ago and have been doing unethical things to acquire more in the meantime. High doses for my tolerance level. I love it so much I can't resist taking more.
I talked to the social worker at a partial program about this and she gave me a bunch of AA packets but I don't think that would be the right fit for me. Is there some kind of support group I could go to that would help me out? I need guidance in managing this thing. I keep giving in to it again and again despite my efforts to overcome the cravings. I don't think I'm going down a good road right now.

Having open conversations with anyone who is going through something similar and trying hard to beat it helps, IMO.

There's N.A., or if there aren't meetings where you live, A.A. meetings are great, too. You just have to be sure the group is friendly & that there's a lot of laughter in the room. Don't let one bad meeting spoil your perceptions. I wish you well.
