@Mary Oden so that makes it ok? Any addict that has ever felt being sick would never ever show how to use or get it for someone who has never done it. (Unless the person is rich and they are trying to get them to spend all their money with them) other than that I promise you that anyone that's been really sick and knows how that is would never knowingly allow anyone to be in those shoes and that's real. The amount of empathy for others and remorse for themselves and what they've done that they wish they never have honestly would not allow them to give a sober person opiates. Have a good day and if you have anything else to add or if you feel differently please write something back.

@@calvinengle2020 His sister may have not actually experienced withdrawal before she shared with him. She was most likely just wanting to let her brother in on what she thought was the best thing she's ever found. Even if she had been sick before though, that doesn't really mean anything. She was at the beginning of her addiction and obviously didn't see it as something that would be as much of a problem as it was going to be for them both.

I had a godly experience as well. Looking at myself in the mirror... a mess. My hair was ratty.. tangled. Bags under my eyes.. scabs on my face.. skinny as a rail... ugly.. sick.. afraid.. high.. denial.. sadness.. alone.. lonely. And then all of a sudden I said out-loud to myself in the mirror “this isn’t who you are.” For days id been praying.. begging my higher power for help. I’ll never forget that day in the mirror. That day in the mirror I saw myself with clear eyes for the first time in a while. What I said to myself was the universe speaking through me. It was that day I called a rehab. I’ve been clean ever since.

Having a lot of troubles, bad things happening in your life, and also responsibilities makes you age faster. Ever wonder why highschool kids 80 years ago looked like 25 year olds compared to highschool kids now that look like theyre still in middle school? A 17 year old back then had more responsibilities, which makes you look older. Your life decisions literally change the way you look. You wear your everyday choices on your face.

Some of my childhood needs weren't met and that carried over to my adulthood and at 34 I learned why I had this void, this emptiness, it changed my life. Now that I know I work on it everyday.

Entertainment Fun she did the "inner child work" You should google "inner child work" and read up on it and give it a try! It really does work! Find a psychologist/counselor and you can do all of that work with your psychologist. Make an appointment to see the psychologist/counselor once a week. It will help you!!! Whatever kind of insurance you have, there are many psychologists/counselors that will except your insurance, and the insurance will cover the cost. So all you need to do is show up to every single appointment and be truthful with your counselor and do the inner child work. And with time you will start to feel better! I promise you that!

I’ve been sober for 76 days now, currently working through the 12 steps w my sponsor, and I never thought I’d be able to wake up in the morning genuinely HAPPY. knowing I don’t need a hit of heroin or dope to get through the day and feel a glimpse of “acceptance”. I am a drug addict and drugs no longer interest me... I think about how fucking miserable and powerless I was when I was using and I think about the way I was living and it encourages me to stay sober. I would not be at this point without help from my family (who I have burnt nearly every bridge w at the time), I will be forever greatful that they still had hope in me and sent me to rehab... I am 22. There is hope. There’s something out there greater than you and I and it is not drugs or alcohol

I'm almost 6 years clean from opiates. It's always refreshing to hear someone speak their truth and be fully honest. I found being honest and completely open with my journey, the traumas I'd endured and hidden for so long, and the addiction I'd managed to hide for 7 years, was the only way to truly heal and conquer my demons. If I'm honest, i still crave it almost every day! But it's about how I overcome that on a daily basis, and to not act on those urges. Every day sober is a good day! I wish anyone struggling with addiction all the love and support in the world. Please remember there's a better life out there for you, and it's never too late to find your happiness ♥

He owns his behaviour and knows how it's affected his family as well as himself and truly see how bad it was. I hate when addicts make excuses and blame everyone and everything except themselves. It makes my blood boil. But good on this kid for stepping up and being a man about it. I got mad respect for him 👍

The one thing which got kicked me into it was my ex girlfriend. Her leaving me killed my inside. So I took high doses of oxycontin. Someday I realised, if I can live and survive without my ex gf, then I also can live without those drugs... because I loved her much more than those pills. There is a flame inside me burning brighter and brighter till the day passes. I will kick into the gym, eat clean again. I want to shape my body instead of destroying it!

Good to hear. I feel like it's an impossible feat, and like my brain has suffered permanent damage and I'll never know happiness again, if I ever knew it to begin with.

And I'm a new father - something I should be happy about. right now it's the only thing keeping me from killing myself.
