i figured i would introduce myself here. :D

im an engaged 24 year old mother of one from northwest ohio. my daughter just turned one year old last week. i work as an STNA on an alzheimers unit of an assisted living facility. my fiance works in a factory. the 3 of us currently live with my grandparents.
my drug of choice is heroin. i used intravenously for about 3 years, quit cold turkey myself and was clean for 9 months, started using again for about a year, then checked into myself rehab. i was clean that time for 2 1/2 years. i started using again this february, again iv heroin.
i was seperated from my fiance when i started using again, and currently he is oblivious to my drug use. he did know that i have used pills occasionally recently, but he has made it clear that we are finished if i use again. this makes my use slightly more difficult.
i have been lurking for awhile now, but i figured it was time to become an active poster. thanks in advance for making me feel at home here. :)
 
So you can't be totally honest with you partner? That sucks!

Also, Alzheimers is a terrible disease :(


Welcome to Bluelight :)
 
Hello brownbetty, I too have been a heroin addict off and on for several years now. I am 21 years old but am currently taking suboxone instead of heroin. I cant tell you how much suboxone has helped me....It really saved my life and is keeping me out of jail(or a coffin for that matter). I dont want too come across as preachy but especially if your having too lie to your fiance....doing dope probably is something you should be focusing on quitting.(also especially since you have a child). I know that for alot of people (like me) you really have to hit ROCK BOTTOM to really want to quit but think about it...rock bottom for you would mean you would lose your child and fiance and possibly be in jail. ........

AHhhhhh im srry. I shouldnt be telling you how to live your life. Just know that suboxone is a VERY helpfull drug....and it will help save your life....

On the other hand do what you want in life and I (and hopefully no other members) will judge you for what choices you make. And please feel free to talk to us about anything and ask ANY questions you like. Especially since I have had a similar experience as you I feeel like I can be of some help when it comes to providing support or answering questions.

I hope I didnt come across too .....I dont know....pushy? But please know were all here to help each other.
