It has really opened my eyes to the addiction the person that I love is going through. I was starting to believe that he was this person now I see that this is just part of the addiction. It gives me hope that if he gets help for his addiction that there is hope that he will go back to the person I fell in love with a married. I just hope that he knows that how he feels now is because of the drugs not because this is who is really is! God please help him! I am so thankful for your blogg.

I know this because on 8/22/07 my daughter overdosed and died. She had not had an addiction to heroin it was mostly recreation able drug for her. Therefore she had not yet built the tolerance and physical addiction, because she had not had a tolerance yet she snorted 2 and a half bags and went to sleep and never woke. She was my only daughter, 22 years old beautiful and a whole life ahead of her snuffed out because of addiction. She was my baby girl taken from me because of 30.00 worth of dope. Needless to say i hate this drug and i hope that someone reading this will realize they have a problem and immediately seek help. Don't wait the longer you keep using the harder it will be to get clean. Don't be another statistic! Don't leave yourself a legacy as a drug addict. Sadly that is exactly what you will be remembered as. With todays medicines available to heroin addicts, such as rapid detox. Some doctors will put you to sleep for 48 hours so you wont feel the anguish of withdrawal. If just one person reads this and is inspired to get help then my daughter Jeanie Lynn's death will not be in vein. Just one! And maybe this will save a baby from being born with this addiction. I guess those are my thoughts on opiates. God Bless AJ Opiate addiction can be deadly. I know this because on 8/22/07 my daughter overdosed and died.

I have been addicted to Herion, and most recently Pod Tea, which ill explain if any one has any questions about it. I have kicked and been off for 2 months now. I, and looking back would have done it differently did the cold turkey method. During the first week I went through a complete and total disconnection of my surrondings, one of which I have never felt before. I was welcomed back with a CRIPPLING depression. And to be honest, after 2 months I still struggle to sleep (the RLS is terrible and in my arms as well) to eat, to get motivated.. it is getting better but this is a fight that I truly would not wish on my worst enemy. "I pray every night, telling myself, ok this is it, tomorrow you will wake up and it will be like nothing ever happened." I am still waiting for that blissful morning, I know it will be here. But the struggle is, I also know what will end this withdrawl, what will make me finally sleep a whole night. Its just too easy, nothing easy can be good when I have worked this hard.

Thanks for your honesty. I also am an addict and recovering alcoholic. I became addicted to vicodin when I was 45. I stayed addicted for 3 years . Unfortunately for me, my drug that got me off the opiates was crack. I stayed addicted to crack for 3 years.I am now clean and sober over a year now, and at my age you can definitely see the destruction in your life and body. I feel like I was spit out of the other end of a crack pipe. I am also building a website for addicts to go to for help. Hopefully with the right information given to us with these computers we can find the taylored help needed. Thanks Again!

You are on the right path. Get on and off the MMT and take advantage of the fact that you don't have to hustle to come up with dope money. You will have a bit of extra money, so do something for yourself like buy jellies like you did in your earlier post. And I know this is ruthless but don't get in tight with fellow patients in MMT, because if you ever want to rise above the grinding life of getting up and going to the clinic every day for the rest of your life, you have to stay out of the kind of trouble that many of your fellow patients have. Read a lot of books and watch a lot of movies and after you feel stable and have some money, get them to taper your dose, even if they give you a hard time for it. I knew people who had been on methadone for almost forty years. It helps addicts who cannot ever avoid relapse and it's a good thing but keep your dose no higher than 40 and try to get a bupe doctor. I didn't go to NA to get off the dope, I basically quit MMT after a six week taper from 120 and it was pretty tough, but I made sure I found things to do that could keep me interested and it's a lot easier to deal with the depression when you can just accept it and find another way to fill the day until life starts making some sense, and eventually it does, trust me.
