    • Close Prescription Drug Abuse

      I have abused about every prescription drug made. It got bad about 3 1/2 years ago when I was prescibed hydrocodone for headaches. I had used other illegal drugs recreationaly, or so I thought. It was at this time that I found my drug of choice which soon came to be oxycodone, methodone, and now heroin. I guess it is obvious that I went to buying drugs on the street. Whatever I could get whenever I could get it. I have been institutionalized, attened an Outpatient Program, and NA meetings.

      Support Groups Somewhat Helpful
      It would probably work if I would take the suggestions and work the program. I love how the people there care and love you. I am attempting 90 meetings in 90 days, now.
      Outpatient Treatment Program Somewhat Helpful
      This was kinda helpful but brought on a lot of anxiety and feeling that made me want to use bc we spent a lot of time telling war stories about our addictions.
    • Close Heroin Addiction & Recovery

      I just recently started using heroin. I have never injected it. I know that if I was to contiue to use that could be the next step.

    • Open Cocaine Addiction & Recovery

      I used cocaine for the 1st time about 10 years ago. Although, I havent used it in several months. I still have cravings for the high. I know that I have to stay away from people that use it. I will not do it alone.

    • Open Breakups & Divorce

      I was in a mental and emotional abusive relationship that turned to physical abuse in the end. We were together for 9 1/12 yrs. I have been away from him for about a year but still have feelings of sadness. We have a 4 yr old son together, which he never sees. He is a loser with the same addiction probs as me. I thought for a long time that I could not live wo him. I have learned that I can and life is better. I have discovered that I was more addicted to him than in love with him. SICK

      Over time the feelings have become a lot less intense. I know that I can have NO contact with him bc if I do, the feelings become overwhelming.

    • Open Single Parenting

      I am a single parent struggling to do what is best for my 4 year old son. I have trouble with discipline. We have both been through a lot. His father is an addict. Last I heard he was sent to some kind of facility for 6 months. I dont know that to be the truth...I got that info from his gf. Its really a long story. I hope that he is getting the help he needs. I cant worry with him any longer...I have to focus on me and my son.
