My son was a Heroin addict for 10 years and the WHOLE FAMILY suffered through his addictions, he was trying and trying to get clean but just couldn’t RESIST that pull of Heroin and would go back to it time and time again,after 10 years something “CLICKED “ and he was lucky to get in REHAB miles from home , and I’m PROUD to say he’s been clean for 23 years now and married with 3 children and lovely wife .I think of him as one of the LUCKY ONES ,lots of his associates are either dead or still using heroin or anything they can get their hands on. What I’m trying to say IS that if you want to get clean IF my son can DO IT you can too ,it takes a LOT OF WILLPOWER and DETERMINATION,but you GET YOUR LIFE BACK AND YOUR FAMILY ! GOOD LUCK TO ANYONE WHO IS TRYING TO GET OFF DRUGS !

Great message. To those who dont understand how this Drug makes you Feel the Best way I can describe it is it's like the Feeling of falling in Love. You know the Honeymoon period. Where life is Great and your always in a Good mood. Now the withdrawals are the Worst when you Quit Cold Turkey. I dont reccomend doing it that way. Full blown withdrawal feels like the Worst Flu of your Life while having an Anxiety Attack. Just Hell. Know you know something about it.

[@Oakleaf700]

@@jamesjoseph5707 Agree..Heroin feels very benign initially, like 'how can it be THAT bad when it makes one feel so comfortable and at ease? Ironically, the first time I had WD, ad a teenager, I put it down to something else, Just didn't realise that the sneezing and yawning, weakness and terribly aching legs and nausea were from WD. {No internet in those days} If only there could be a non addictive opiate..but that isn't ever likely to happen.

God bless him. I also went thru it for approx 10+ years.. and it took me to reach that point, for me to get clean. You can't get clean because others want you to. You have to truly want it for yourself. I had been to countless rehabs in the past, but I would do it because family wanted me to.. not because I wanted to. And that's why I never got clean during that time. It took me waking up one day, and just being fed up of living like that for me to get it together. And thank God, that day came. My heart goes out to anyone still going thru the struggle. Never give up, it's never too late to turn your life around. I'm living proof.

Former heroin addict in Pittsburgh and Detroit. Took me 32 detoxes, rehabs, half way house, jail, homeless to get clean & have been that way since July 24, 2008. Married with four kids, job, home, etc & life is good now but I too had lost hope at points and never thought I'd get clean. I'd say 70% of people I used with overdosed and died, 20% got clean and other 10% in prison or still using. If you're struggling as an addict or family member of an addict don't lose hope. They aren't themselves and hate what they do to you and to themselves but they unfortunately are unable to control it. It's such a horrible life and I pray for all of you

I know people claim heroin withdrawal won't kill you like withdrawing from alcohol or benzos, but it is so painful and soul destroying, specially as addicts often have nobody to reach to for support. Personally I couldn't take it and after two failed attempts at withdrawal ,during the third attempt the crushing depression led me to take a huge mixed overdose and I'm ashamed to say my son came home and found me blue and unresponsive on the floor. The poor kid had to perform CPR to start my breathing and heart again and keep me alive till the ambulance arrived. That was my "rock-bottom" putting my son through that, and I did finally manage to get clean following that.

[@_indent]

@@patrickskehill5589 I don't know, I can't agree. I battled a heroine addiction for 10+ years, and eventually got myself clean off of straight will power. I had been to countless rehabs in the past, and they didn't work for me. They preach 12 steps, and not everyone is programmed the same, so 12 steps doesn't apply for everyone. But either way, during my addiction I didn't feel all alone. I felt far from that. I used to enjoy getting high, and the days when I couldn't afford it, I would suffer withdrawals, but I didn't feel like I was all by myself and lost. No, I put myself in that position... and I accepted it. So it required myself to get me out that position. After accepting the fact that 12 steps wasn't going to work for me, I took it upon myself to get myself clean.. and I did just that. Was it easy? No. I failed many times in the past, but I reached a point where I felt enough was enough, and quit. Not everyone has that willpower, I get it. And I don't fault them for that. My comment is more to point out that I didn't feel all alone, or lost, or however you want to phrase it... and at my peak, I was spending 4-5 hundred a day, so I was definitely at full fledge addiction. If any of you are still using, never give up. It's possible to get clean. I am living proof. If you ask anyone in my family, they all expected to get that phone call one day. None of them thought I would get it together, but contrary to belief... I did. And so can anyone, with enough will power. God bless anyone who is still going thru the struggle, my heart goes out to you.

@@skramzgod yes, happens everyday in the west . Two years ago, pain management kicked me out for being pregnant. I’m a burn victim, third and fourth degree, with bone charring, almost twenty percent of my body in burn marks. I was on 20 mg Methadone and steroid shots. I got pregnant, I’m married and sadly, no method prevents pregnancy 100%. My husband is a scientist and I am an artist. I had no place to go and desperately called a methadone clinic. The doctor was shocked, what they did to me. I miscarried in withdrawal on the toilet. With my new doctor this would never happen. I had a healthy baby girl finally seven weeks ago, three days in hospital, no withdrawal for the baby , I was low enough at that point, because I planned this pregnancy . But I’ll never forget how cruel my old doctor treated me. According to CDC it’s forbidden, to stop opiates abruptly in pregnant women because it causes miscarriage. At the same time, they kicked others out, one a man that just recovered from chemo therapy. Going to the clinic changed my view on a lot of things. And I’ve met quite a few former pain patients, that got kicked out , weaned off quickly or simply got addicted. I am thankful I never got that desperate but I can say one thing; opiate withdrawal is hell. I don’t wish it on anyone. Well, maybe the doctor that said they don’t treat pregnant patients and no refill anymore… After ten years on pain medication, without a single issue. I hope you’re doing well.

The more horrible the detox, the better chance an addict has against relapse. However, this is not the one thing that will keep you from relapse.

The elderly gentleman towards the end is absolutely right about motivation. Without it, all plans to stay clean are doomed to fail.

Number one crucial step in staying sober for any meaningful amount of time.

[@willowmalone9215]

I think one of the hardest things for people who don't struggle with addiction to understand is why addicts who have gotten clean from their substances of choice overwhelmingly go back out and get addicted all over again (my local state- run rehab facility has a 96% failure rate. 96%!) . I know I wondered it myself when I was young - why don't they just stop and stay sober, and once they have stopped, why in God's name would anybody ever choose to get back on it again? As a former IV heroin addict of 7 years (im 24 now) I wish I had a clear-cut answer besides that your brain chemicals are basically fu@ked- your not making serotonin and dopamine and norepinephrine and all those other helpful little feel good chemicals-sometimes for a very long time after recovering from chemical addictions. Drugs can seemingly be the only positive feeling achievable for quite awhile, and its tempting not to relapse when everyday is an apathetic, soul crushing blur of depression. Aside from that, substance addiction is almost ALWAYS a method of coping with extreme trauma that must be painstakingly unpacked, unraveled and unlearned. Easier said than done for sure. So long story short, the answer is, there are no easy answers Edit: thank you to each and every person who took the time to write encouraging messages and those who shared their own ways of staying clean. I actually wrote down about 50 of your comments in a notebook to refer back to for hope when I'm feeling hopeless.

[@Ikaros23]

The lack of insight in trauma/PTSD and how to cure it. Is the main reason. The addict also don`t understand that the drug is not taking away the pain long term. It is simply taking away the pain short term, the multiply the pain after that by 1000. This is the same with all drugs. You also see this with even avrage people drinking alcohol, they forget the pain/anxiety that comes the days after beeing hammerd. They simply want to think that the drug is just a " good" thing and that there is zero downside. wishfull thinking is also common. People think that they are " special" and that they are not going to be addicted. And that only losers/fools and so on get addicted. When in reality trauma from childhood is common. There is also alot of brainwashing and marketing in culture where drugs, alcohol, nicotine and escapism is portraid as " cool", and something we all deserve. When reality is that there is no escape from reality.

And occupation the US has spearheaded the Pakistani government and is using Pakistan to send drone strikes on Afghanistan still after they got kicked out. They just can't seem to handle the loss and they can't seem to give up the money and resources down there

Wouldn't be surprised if we see another 9/11 so they can make an excuse to go back and recruit more people into the army

they don't need hope or love, they need methadone, bupenorphine, or literally just heroin

when the taliban take over Kabul they said they was drug addict in every corner. the U.S had control of Kabul for 20 years and they turn it into california without the movie stars.

@@aadil2248 Can’t forget the money and resources down there? If Taliban could remember it maybe they’re country would not be a worse shirt hole now than when the US where there. The Taliban is nothing but savage animals destroying Afghanistan.

Heartbreaking to see an Afghanistan like this, once a thriving-booming-trading nation caught between 2 so called super powers!
