stick it out! You are doing well. Dont let yourself go back to what you were doing. I would see a rehab specialist if you can.

I'm hoping that you chose to stick it out. It takes so long to get out of that junkie mind set. Just remember that you're feeling like shit now because of the heroin! Opiates are a spawn of the devil. You have no control and never will. You need to remember why you saught treatment in the first place and try not to get discouraged by the time it takes to succeed in having a normal life again. I will be an addict for the rest of my life, I remember that every day and it helps me get through the day. I am always on guard. Someone couldn't pay me enough to do another opiate, prescribed or otherwise. I understand cravings, I'm not saying that I don't but see it this way. In satisfying this craving you will be getting 2 things. You will get the high which is what you were craving but you'll also get months and months of withdrawals over again. Starting back from scratch. Is that really worth it? Have you ever considered using the suboxone sublingually as it is intended? I received suboxone in an outpatient treatment facility and had very minor withdrawals that were almost completely subsided by the 9th day. I had no pain, no tremors and slept fine. I think that suboxone treatment and counseling in the right setting at the right point in your life is a miracle. You need to be ready to commit to changing your lifestyle and you need to be willing to fight for it, fight for a normal life! You deserve it. I hope that all is well. You're in my thoughts. I hope that you got some help. Very Happy
