Im resetting and regretting. I seem to be my own worst enemy. Today the first time in such a long time I told myself gave myself a pep talk. I CAN do this! My kids need me! For the first time in a little over a year I feel I can do this I am the boss of me! Not herion! Herion is no longer in control of me! I will fight this with every fight I have left in me! I AM MY OWN BOSS AND I AM STRONG! First step to sobriety is admitting I AM AN ADDICT!

Hi and welcome to ts I’m also a heroin addict. I got into recovery and of January and like yourself I had to fight with everything I have … R u going to get maintenance meds from doctor or cold Turkey? I work a 12 steps programme and go to meetings each week I use this app on a daily basis and only have clean and soba people in my life . I’ve had to change the people places and things that trigger me and it’s so worth it x

Hi Savanna, sorry to hear about your stumble. Sobriety is a journey and it hurts when you fall. But you are here, you’re admitting you have a problem, and you are seeking advice and support. You’ve already started your journey 
Lots of good advice on this thread so far from two wonderful people who are walking the path too. Especially the advice about seeking an in-person group was one key part of my turnaround. We addicts have a history of being alone, running away, and when we turn to a group and find connection with each other it helps us heal.
You can do this. It will take change and change is unfamiliar. But you can do this. You have the courage and determination to do it. Looking forward to walking the journey with you
