Opiate withdrawal. Could use an opinion, and some advice.

Hey everyone it's been a long 8 years since I initially started this thread. In case anyone wants an update I took a really wild ride after my last post. I did relapse and went through a really crazy turn of events. It concluded in me seeing jail time and after getting out I was homeless for 3 months. During which I stayed clean. It was the hardest 3 months of my fucking life but by the sheer amount of willpower I expended and possibly a crap ton of luck I pulled it off. My first job out of jail was washing dishes at a local restaurant and brewery and then I got into an Oxford house which I stayed at for around 18 months. My family finally saw I was trying my best and that I was able to maintain my sobriety despite being completely on my own. So my brother let me have his spare room and I got a better job and a better one after that and saved my money. Now I'm in my own house and have my daughter 50 precent of the time and will be an addiction counselor next month.

My point is to never give up. You have the ultimate say in whether you will continue to be chained to your chemical shackles. Be well my friends. I hope to be back around the community.
 
Congratulations on being able to turn your life around! I'm glad you took the time to update us. I often wonder what happened to someone after they stop posting. Your story is inspirational. Thank you for sharing and good luck in your new job!
