I am a mother of two who has been battaling herion addiction for years. Just when i think i have done so well and stayed clean an incident would happen and my mind will jump to wanting a taste to stop the pain or worry or aniexty. I sometimes wonder if these thoughts will ever leave my mind. Sometimes i have to give my money to somelse so that while i contemplate scoring i am already a step ahead, so i think. I would sometimes give in but i dont want to and i want some advie om how to deal with the madness in my mind

" Go to a meeting and work the steps. You need to find a sufficent replacement. And a bullet in the head or ignoring it won't shut it up. Do you see how the main problem centers in the mind? If you don't change through working the steps, then your clean date will keep changing. Or, you could try naltrexone to prevent you from getting high if you use. But then you still haven't dealt with the real problem which is your thinking and your mind. "

" I agree with Bill. I am on methadone and it has done wonders for me. I don't think about anymore or anything. I am able to focus on what matters rather then the heroin. The groups I am in now help too. I hope that his advice helps you. If you want to talk hit me up. Best of luck to you.
