Hello, I've been reading quite a bit from this site and decided to join. I have been using opiates for about 2 years on and off and recently realized I'd taken it too far. I had begun shooting up. I'm a 33 yo woman, married 3 kids good job happy life. My mom committed suicide when I was 21 after a long opiate addiction that tore our family apart so I know better. Never the less, it happened. Now I'm trying to be clean. Withdrawals suck. I'm trying the vitamin C. All support appreciated. I definitely don't want my children to have to live through the things I did.

yea def hard to kick it... I shot dope for about two years and did pills for a few more before that... I just got out prison, was in for 21 months and that seemed to do the trick for me lol... but honestly when I first went in they gave me klonodine and a few other things and honestly I didn't have any physical WDs but mentally it took about a year to get over the cravings... so mabe try to taper and after that some benzos... but gota be careful I've overdoesed mixing Xanax and heroin... but it gets better with time

Welcome to the site,

We have a Sober Living section that you can find here - you will find a lot of people going through, been through and living sober now so you will find some support etc.

So sorry to hear about your mum - if you would like to chat about that further then we have a section called 'The Dark Side' (for problems that arise around drug use/users) - maybe getting that off your chest may help you or others.

Keep at it
