Sage words, atm.
Cherry, I don't know you really beyond your posts here, but it's really tragic to see the number of false starts and setbacks you've been through.
I can't know your mind, your motivations, your fears etc. but I realy do think that some kind of total separation (be it physical or otherwise) from the people and the lifestyle associated with heroin and crack is the only way you're going to get through this, at least as long as you have other troubles on your mind, which I know you have (again only from your posts).
That isn't to say you're not a strong enough person to overcome it without that kind of separation, but the last few years of your life
before the habit were enough of an upheaval for even the strongest of people, so there are bound to be lingering issues from all that went on back then. I've never really been a long-term heroin addict, but I know that as soon as I'd dabbled for the first time, it was never far from my thoughts whenever things went wrong in my life and I ended up getting burned once or twice when I leaned on it too heavily.
That's something I'm only just getting over now, and I moved across town to get away from the smack scene some six years ago. What I'm trying to say is that these kind of addictions (not all addictions though, I'll add) are usually a symptom of a deeper-seated malaise, and it's hard to work on solving these bigger problems when there's an escape route close to hand.
Hope you don't mind me chipping in with that, but I couldn't just let your post pass without comment. Disregard it if you wish, but good luck nonetheless.
