How long were you clean before the relapse? Have you found anything that helps with the cravings, urges, and withdraws? I am quitting heroin cold turkey and have been clean for 12 hours, but its starting to get really tough.

I WOULD be at day 46 now but I lost control and had to reset a week ago. I can say first hand that it was horrible. It was nothing like I expected, it was just this bizarre, alien, empty experience, like no matter how much I drank I never felt drunk or happy. Just like a dirty feeling but you canāt shower to wash it off. It was not worth losing 40 days over.

@Sierra I have never taken drugs but I suppose itās the same as kicking any habit . My advice is to rid your life of anything that is connected to heroin that means friends also. You also need to understand that heroin is no better or worse than any other addiction you are as important as any other person on this world. Last of all understand your triggers and what makes you use, put a plan in place to deal with them . And most importantly love yourself
@Sierra, a lot of people who are trying to get off heroine end up going to detox/rehab to try and kick the habit. There are also synthetic drugs like suboxone that addicts use to ween themselves off. Unfortunately that stuff is also addictive. It sounds like you havenāt been using that long and arenāt chronic so to speak. Iād bet you can tough out the withdrawal symptoms and fight off the cravings Iām positive you could get clean on your own. If your boyfriend is not on the same program, that could be detrimental. Good luck!
