I am just getting started here. I just found this site today. I am from Harrisburg, PA and I am 36 years old. I am a heroin addict who has been clean for 6 months and I have been an IV heroin user for twenty years. The last four years I was on subozonesuboxone which I detoxed cold turkey from along with 240 mg of Xanax a month. Although I obviously was medically detoxed from the Xanax with a taper since I was on that large dose for 8 years. I am just lost living in a recovery house trying to find something to strive for. I haven't shot up for four years,because of my long term subozonesuboxone use. I am fantasizing shooting up and don't think I will ever stay clean. I wish our country had heroin programs such as Switzerland does, where you can't get your dope from the government, it's clean and pure, I wouldn't need to steal or do all the other things that come with it. Just introducing myself a little, and throwing a little info out there.
 
Hi jav. It's nice to see someone else from my area. Not to far from harrisburg. I actually work there sometimes. I'm 33 been addicted to Oxys for a while now. I just can't get my brain to not want to get high. I feel your pain it's a tough battle. I just found this site this week so I'm new here too.
 
Nice to make your acquaintance Jschreff thanks for the request stay in touch and be safe.
 
Welcome to the site :)

The fixation with the needle can be a bigger hurdle to get over than the actual addiction to the drug for a lot of people. We have a sober living section which can be found here where you may find some further information or at least other people in the same position as yourself.

Take care
 
Hey...strange to see people close to where I am. It seems like I talk to people all over the world but very few in my own backyard lol


OP-- I have been an on and off IV user for 22 years. With a few long stretches of clean time--longest was 9 years. After a period of time you just sort of move on. Usually after I've been away from it a year or more I don't think much about it. The longer away the less often I even think/crave/fantasize. And I understand the needle fixation. I had a bad IV cocaine habit while in a methadone clinic back in 2000 because I couldn't feel the dope much and I really craved shooting up as much as the dope. So I get it

But the longer you keep on going down a good road, the more things you get that you don't want to lose. For me it's my son. While I had a relapse when he was a toddler, he was what pushed me to get clean again and stay clean. And honestly, him giving me a hug and a smile or watching him sleep in the early morning--that's a better feeling inside than I ever got in a bag.
 
I just moved to the area and is looking for an outlet, Mary, or anything. Can anyone help me ?
