Ive been an addict for a year and a half I've gotten clear a dozen times but relapse always with in 2 weeks its usually because my husband will get and for me the temptation of it in my face or him doing it around me is to strong. I always say I will do it just once but we all know how that goes. This time im truly determined to quit its been 48 hours since I last did something. The withdrawals were bad so bad that last night I got a few subs enough to detox. My husband is not here and im scared that when he returns home that I will once again relaps. I will be clean but im scared because its happened so many times in the past. I want to be clean and stay clean any suggestions would greatly be appreciated.Thank you.

Mel24Ny,
You should absolutely be scared for a relapse. Truthfully you have a very small chance of staying clean while living with an active user. So, in my experience, you either both make a commitment to get and stay clean, separate yourself from anyone who threatens your intent to stay clean, or have no plan. No plans=Planning to Fail.
So, you are the only one who will know when you're ready to stop. Until then, keep expecting the same shit which will progressively get worse..
?I agree with big bird gemini, and wanted to add my thoughts, have you considered going to the Methadone Clinic? Or getting methadone maintenance from a private doctor.... yes, it is a commitment and another drug you will eventually have to taper off of... but without it I wouldn't have been able to get clean from opiates and my need to use daily. it has a blocker that will take away your craving for opiates, and it also makes you unable to feel the high even if you tried. (I tried once, about a month after I first started on methadone couldn't feel any effect from eating 6 roxy 30's) I'm on m. maintenance for 4 years and can watch people do opiates and not even care to join. I know not everyone is wild about getting on methadone maintenance or if its something you would consider to stay sober, but I thought I would put the idea out there. Best of luck.Hey guys I just went to a meeting because I felt like using which I I didn't but the meeting I went to was AA and honestly it didn't help me
I couldn't relate whatsoever because im an addict not an alcoholic. But although I didn't get much from the meeting and my urge to use is still there I haven't thanks to my husband who is now clean and sober we both have been clean 38 days
