I'm qbout to give up

Relapsed again tonight, went 50 days but I gave in… I’m an alcoholic as well but I can’t drink because my pancreas is fucked so using meth seemed like a better idea plus I’ve been hitting the oxy again… I don’t know why I’m even writing this, everyone else has given up on me don’t see why I shouldn’t think I’m gonna take the whole 2 sheets of oxy I have left and fade away

Nope, don’t take the oxy. Stick around. There’s light at the end of the tunnel.

This isn’t a failure but it does mean you have to change something. Have you been working a program? Going to meetings?

I’ve been trying to recover in denial everytime I try Na or program I just find talking about it just makes me want it more, I don’t fucking know

Addiction is escape. Addiction is about getting numb and running away from something. If you’re feeling that way it means there’s something you’re still trying to run away from.

Inpatient treatment is helpful here - really getting clean in a place with no drugs.

You’re here Marly. Tells me you’re not done with life yet. It’s the drugs that make you believe you are. You’re right, just talking dsoesn’t cut the cake. Recovery is a verb. For now you just need to make sure you´re safe. Right now you need to keep talking. You´re not alone.

This is a moment in time. Think about times you felt like this before and pushed through…and your life got better.

Death offers a one way ticket with no back out clause. You don’t want that, you just think you do.

Hang in there!!!

You’re writing this because you have a desire to stop using. You had fifty days someone else never got that’s a miracle brush you’re shoulders off, and go forward. You’re gonna do what you want in the end finish the sheet don’t finish the sheet just keep coming back brother you’re worth it. Go to n.a. meetings, keep an open mind, take suggestions, get a sponsor. The misery will always be there waiting for you so why not try something different the worse that can happen is gaining freedom from active addiction one day at a time. I gotta get back to work but I hope you try again bro :v:
