I need help badly

[RickyPV]

Hello everyone,
I am new on here & the reason I am here is because I need help quitting! I use heroin. But I dont want this anymore. I want my life back. I want to be normal again. But i feel lost. Can someone help me? Anybody!

Welcome i am going to move your thread to sober living so you can get some support there.

Try going to a meeting.. NA/AA/SMART etc . Its worth a shot. It helps to be around other people in recovery.

if you need to tapper loperamide has helped many according to my research on it. i'm using low dose at the moment to get off oxy/hydro. those are much weaker i know. so i dont know where you would need to start i started this time at 10mgs and i'm down to 6 today.

if you decide to try loperamide I would probably start with the dose on the box and take 1 more than that every few hours until w/d is manageable. then slowly tapper by taking less every time the w/ds start again. For me, I typically hit hour 20 before im sneezing again. some people only get 12 hours out of each dose. everyone is different. Actually this time i'm tappering by dropping each week not each day seems to be going much much smoother.I dont know if it will come back to eat my underwear but, so far so good. hope my story is of some help.

I have been on this rollercoaster for years now.. im actually doing good right now I am on 7 days clean atm. im really trying hard this time. ive noticed, staying busy helps the most man. I even pledged a frat lol... anyways. I was always horrified of withdraw symptoms, scare the shit outta me. but if you can, find a few suboxone and taper like that. it always seems to help me. I just usually relapse during the PAWS.. I usually find 2 or 3 8mg and half em for 4 to 6 days.. usually after you have taken them the half life will be in your system and you will be ok without taking them. you will not feel the best but it is way more comforting than cold turkey. im so terrified in going cold turkey that think of suicide. this is how I know that I have to get this fuckin pos off my back.. and im pushing 30.

never done heroin but have been through the physical wd off xanax and it sucks. as someone said earlier, being around sober people at meeting and seeing people who have been sober for a while gives me hope that i can beat my addiction. i used to hate meetings but im starting to see that they can really save my ass.

I was at the same point...

We didn’t stumble into this fellowship brimming with love, honesty, open-mindedness, or
willingness. We reached a point where we could no longer continue using because of physical,
mental, and spiritual pain. When we were beaten, we became willing

Meetings can be a good start. Just to know others beat it?

Opiates are a bitch, but the WD shouldn't kill. Find something that helps (like staying busy, lots of physical activity but don't overdo it, trigger your own endorphins?) There are other means. Ultimately, if you want it, reach out and take it. You can, that much is at least reality. Admitting that you see a problem is the first step. Getting removed/detached from the fear of failure/success helped me out some, but my issue wasn't opiates (the "greater issue" anyway). Possibly going for some temporary replacement therapy? Just offering some suggestions that helped me out. I wish you luck, no........ properly applied motivation for a better state of existence.

How are you doing?

What's goin on man. I'm in the Same boat as you, I get clean and end up relapsing months later and repeating the damn cycle.

I'm now on day 4 though and I'm feeling good, what works for me is getting in touch wit myself and just thinking about the reality of te situation. The fact I use to have thousands of dollars saved and now I'm broke and struggling, how I'm just a slave to a powder, just take it all in and really think about it. It's so stupid that thinking about it does help a lot . Smoking weed helps too! And suboxone can help out,

Congrats on wanting a change and hopefully you can find most of the information you need to help quitting and staying sober. I had many failed attempts at quitting and honestly suboxone has helped the most. Even if you can get just a few strips to help you through the initial first days it makes a lot of difference. In the beginning you'll feel depressed but at least you'll regain some hope. I suggest doing some research and coming up with a plan of action. Good luck! I've been there and I know how it feels but things do get better : )
