Seeking support

[IOnceGrewHorns]

Hi all! I'm roughly 5 days clean of heroin after what (at the time) didn't seem like a problem in my life. It wasn't until after my brother and I really took a step back and realized the things we had missed, the way it was changing us, and how we were affecting those around us, that we decided to give it up for good. He quit 3 days before me while I finished up what I had left, and he seems to be pretty much entirely out of the woods for now. (He's even sleeping pretty normally??!?) I guess what I'm getting at with all of this rambling, is that although my conviction to not mess around with the dreaded junk again, I'm understanding more and more why it's important to have *some* kind of support through these kinds of things. Even just some kind, encouraging words can help make this whole ordeal feel more worthwhile and less arduous. I'd love even more to meet some positive people (if even just through a username-only basis) who wouldn't mind sharing their experiences and story. Okay, this novel has gone on long enough. After skulking and reading suggestions off here for months without being a member, I'm excited to finally be an official member of BL!

Hey, Great to have you here!

I'm an x heroin user myself. I've been off the site temporarily. How are you doing now? Please don't hesitate to ask me any questions. I also could move your post to a Recovery area or Opiate thread. Or anywhere you prefer. I missed ALOT of life using dope.

It helps though for me to see where not to go again. To be reminded that is I guess.
