I have only ever smoked Heroin on foil and was doing so daily for around 2years. Although when I was smoking I managed to keep my city job I was high most of the time smoking before after and during work but no one really noticed. The only person that did was my mum who swiftly went about looking for treatment for me. I did a subutex detox for one week and then had a naltrexone implant it is a 3 month implant and It has now been 13weeks clean, I am happier now and a lot more engaged with work and life but I still think about smoking. I tried to smoke as soon as I reached 12 weeks and still can't feel a thing. I do it and afterwards I am relieved that I haven't felt anything because I know when I do it is goin to be very easy to slip back into old habits. I feel like im going mad waitin for this thing to wear off and in the meantime sitting in the office thinking about it all day. I don't like NA meetings as I really stick out like a soar thumb and I kept it a secret for so long admitting this to anyone is tough. I tried a counsellor she was clueless and no help. Does any one have any good coping strategies?

If you have a city job, you probably have good insurance. Find an addiction specialist in your area.
 
Hey there, welcome to BDD. I'm going to move this to TDS for you as they are the place to get help and support for addiction issues such as this. They have a no triggering rule there which means no talking about currently taking drugs, or glorifying drug use.. and there are plenty of caring and experienced people there who should be able to help you <3
