Now Is Clearly The Right Time For Me To Get Clean

[Jimmy_Pop]

There was a time when drug use was just one of a set of unrelated problems for me.

This was a couple years ago, when I had problems with jobs, money, relationships, family, etc.

Since then, I've managed to clean up my act in a variety of ways; for example, becoming a harder worker and paying my bills on time.

However, I'm still addicted to cigarettes, booze and stimulants, and it's clear that these addictions are holding me back.

It's not even that I've got it that bad or whatever, it's just that I can't muster the right level of motivation to get the things I want out of life when I always have drugs to fall back on.

Things like working out and getting into relationships... I just can't work up the motivation to do these things when I'm using.

The answer is so obvious. I need to get clean. Now is the obvious time to do it. I have so much positive momentum going in other areas of my life, but I really need to cut out the drugs in order to actually ride that positive momentum through to an equally positive conclusion.

I apologize if this is a bit incoherent, I'm strung out atm.

Good luck, I hope you succeed *hug*

I believe the first step in getting clean is the will-power and your own self-wanting to get clean. I've used for 2 years heavily 10 bags of heroin a day, and have found my savior which is suboxone, i am also on clonidine but i have gone without heroin since Tuesday, and even though it is still tough for me, even with suboxone i want to get clean and free from this disgusting drug, whatever your addicted too is also just bringing your life down. I'm lucky to have a loving family and girlfriend of 10 years who is sticking by my side through this, i wish you the best of luck in getting clean and remember you have to WANT to quit...much love
