What you are doing takes a tremendous amount of courage. Congratulations.
It's a cliche, but one day at a time - or even one minute at a time. My 24 yr old daughter has stopped drinking, doing drugs & compulsively going from one relationship to the next. She finds a tremendous amount of help from the 12-step programs - Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, and Sex & Love Addicts Anonymous. There, she meets people who understand WHAT she is going through & they're able to support her.
If you decide to try it out, your local Public Health Dept or hospital should be able to help you find a meeting or ask your parents to help you.
Please continue to take care of yourself. This site can be a place of great support & people here truly care about each other. Your parents are obviously there to help you. Please keep us posted as to how you're doing and how you're feeling. Sometimes, even if there aren't answers, it helps to say how we feel & have people who care listen to us.Thinking of you every day. Kath : )
> sorry to sound like im looking for an excuse to not facing up to life, but whats left. i have been away from heroin/alcohol for one whole week, on a naltrexone implant program. at the moment i am still on barbituates, and benzodiazapines, and seem to just look foward to the nightime. im frightened the nightimes are going to get earlier.fortunately i am monitored by parents, so i cant abuse the barbs.i have heard about trazolon? to help with reality. otherwise, its back to pink floyd
