i dont know where to start. i've been an addict for a long time. i want to quit but i don't know how. i've been to a 9 hour a week 6 week recovery program about 2 years ago. i still use as much as i can. meth is drug of choice, alchol when i can't afford it. it's been along time since i went 3 days without meth. the addiction is so strong. i dont know what to do. the hardest thing is trying to figure out how to be happy. i can't think of anything that makes me happy. i almost think happiness is something made up. something that isn't real. any ideas to help with cravings?
getting hooked in to lots of meetings , getting a sponser, phone numbers, call people in recovery when the urge to use strikes, we do recover, together we can. check out what meetings are in your area, i know in ours we have meth anon. as well as NA ect. please dont give up on yourself, happiness is yours if you want it.
What Galeon shared above is what works for me too Heather...
Trying out treatment courses, detoxes, religion, medicine, psychiatry, geographical change, willpower and so on did help me in the short run, but was never sufficient to counter my disease in the long run. My addiction always resurfaced and continued to progress after some time of relief.
Regular daily maintenance of my recovery through NA is what worked eventually, and continues to work for me till this day...
I don't have to do it alone, I don't have to do anything at all... I just needed to allow NA program to do it all for me
Keep coming back, we need you, NA Hugs.
