I didn’t make it. I have no idea how I’m going to do this without going away. My neighborhood is such a trigger for me. I travel for work sometimes so I’m not home to get them in the past. 6 months ago I got a job 20 minutes from the house. I’ve been doing about 5 to 6 everyday for the last 6 months. Yesterday was longest I went without them in the last 6 months. I want to stop but it is such a hard thing to do.

I’m not sure what “them” are, but if where you live is a cop spot you may want to move. When I quit using heroin I had to move. There was no way I would have survived. Also there are plenty of people in recovery that remain in bad areas and stay clean. Getting involved in a support group and becoming accountable to others can help greatly.

If stopping is hard for just one or two days, I think rehab would be the best choice here. Having the controlled environment would give the necessary jump start to recovery

Your still alive so you havnt failed yet your still making it. Maybe try a NA meeting or somekind of 12 step program might help you to keep from using? I know when i was stuck in my use every thing i could think of was an excuse for me to keep using, life was a trigger for me, sometimes we just need to learn how to quit fooling ourselves if we really want it and need it, we find a way to start our recovery, a treatment center wouldnt be a bad option if you are serious about getting clean.
