Every time I click on the link to get he...Hey Gled. Every time I click on the link to get here- I wonder if drugs or some drug-related misadventure has claimed your life. When I see the latest entry, I'm relieved that you're still with us but saddened to know that on your current path it's only a matter of time until you slip beneath the waves.<br /><br />You're a likeable fellow, there's a spark, a joie de vivre that shines through and I really hope that the spark gets a chance to flourish. Get clean, buddy.

But they have this antimethadone thing. Maybe I won't even tell them I'm still on it. I'll lie and say I'm clean. I hate lying but maybe I'll try it. Then maybe I'll get accepted for once ...

You are the one who has to suffer through it. If you weren't strong enough to resist heroin in the first place, it's going to take a lot of support for you to ditch the habit now. It's great that you can get methadone to help but obviously, it isn't enough on its own. It's really too bad you and your worker aren't connecting. What about the 12 step groups? Are they available? Do they help others? Have you tried them? It's clear you want to quit but you haven't found what you need yet.I hope you can get the strength up to try again soon. I'm sure your body appreciates even just a few days break here and there. I think it's a good sign that you enjoy eating so your body stays as healthy as possible. You certainly are far from hopeless.Jeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15320507412459242451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8092261346236962635.post-88650241226778781612009-09-30T02:27:26.934+01:002009-09-30T02:27:26.934+01:00When the desire to be clean consumes you more than...When the desire to be clean consumes you more than the heroin itself, you will be clean. That kind of desire doesn't come easy. We all have wants... desires. I've had things I wanted, but the desire never consumed me. The wants faded. Now I feel as if I am a leaf floating on a stream with no ability to fight the current unless the wind blows hard enough my way. How do you feel Gledwood? What do you really want? Are you like me? Like the leaf on the stream waiting for the wind to blow your way? I'm thinking I better learn to swim or I should just be content to let the stream take me where it will. In my case going with the stream may well be the right choice. In your case, I'm not so certain. I would wish you luck, but that is like waiting for the wind to blow your way. Good luck anyway Gledwood.

If you ...Gleds, I think that you said it best here. If you want something bad enough you'll do it. The Big Book of AA says the same thing--basically, if a person is willing to go to any lengths for sobriety then there is a good chance for sobriety.Sydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05642843245634635843noreply@blogger.com
