im 25, first shot dope at 18. been a junkie since i was 21. had a bad habbit last year.

my wife caught me then and threatened to leave me if she caught me again. shes caught me 2 or 3 times since. now shes going to leave and take my child.

i need help. does anyone have any happy recovery stories to cheer me up?
 
Why don't you try rehab or an AA/NA meeting or even Suboxone? I think a long stay in in-patient rehab is always the best option if possible. It gets you in a safe environment and breaks the pattern of bad decisions. Then you just have to stay the fuck away from all the junkies you associate, they truly aren't you're fucking friends. My life would be in a completely different state today if I had managed to cut ties to all those fucks. They do nothing but bring you down, 100% percent of the time.
 
Get into a rehab programme, I don't know were your from, I'm unsure of the funding for rehab in the Us but if your lucky to live in a EU country you should easily get the funding and your rehab pay for I'm going into a rehab unit in 3 weeks, i've been on dope about a year less than you and fortunatley i don't have wife or kids but the damage it's done to my imediate family and friends is horrible and I'm greatfull now that I have a chance to sort this shit out as. There is no way in hell is this horrid existance worth it, I'm lucky my family and friends have stayed by me despite the going missing for months on end and the stress and worry ive casued them also I have abused class A's to unreal limits but still am told by people they cannot tell i'm a heavy drug user.

My words of wisdom for you mate is, look your only 25 if you can sort your shit out now then your still young and go on to do what ever you want to do, I always loved drugs but now am growing sicker and sicker by the day. I get more enjoyment from meeting people who were far worse of than me and are now clean with good jobs etc, just listening to how they are doing and enjoying the smallest things in life, I really envy these people. Just remember its possible for you to fuck over the smack and kick its fucking teeth in even after its bullied yo for so long. I'm sure if your family see's you making an effort they'll stick by you, an if not if you stick at it over time when they see you've really made an effort and changed then they'll be there, getting clean is experience that will not just rid you of drugs, and without sounding too much like a cliche will make you a better person.

Peace

Yea you do. But not from here. Go to an ER that has a Detox unit. You will be there about 5-8 days, then request to be sent to a 30-day or longer treatment facility. Now that Suboxone is available, you won't feel much of the withdrawls. Miracle drug for opiate WDs. I recall the days of having to order .5µg from some other country and hoping it got through for those times you ran out. Worst pain I have ever felt that wouldnt kill me was opiate WDs. The worst pain that would kill me, cold turkey from Diazapam. The reason I mention that is because the first time I went to treatment at the Hospital De-Tox, I was given diazapam while there and was released to go home after 7 days. I felt great for about 2-3 days. Then slowly my hands started shaking and after a day I was in a full Benzo WD because the Hospital never followed up on aftercare. That's when I went back to the Hospital and after 5 days told I had to go through a longer treatment.

Best decision I have ever made. If anyone is reading this and takes either opiates or benzos....if you take them to feel "normal" Its probably time to go to treatment in my opinion. Just my thought on the matter.
