Hey all,
 Im new to this whole computer thing but ive tried everything else so why not.....long story short, im a heroin addict ( plus anything else that was in my grasp at the time), im on my 2nd day/night clean, spent most of the first night,last night, reading all the different posts up on here, so for some reason i feel as if i already know some of ya's just by what ive read so far. I have to tell ya it actually helped me get through the night reading the old posts, at least distracted me from going downtown. Anyway for now im pretty much just trying to push through this so ill prob do more reading than writing. So, for what its worth, Thanks. Just trying to take it an hour at a time for now....ill open up more when im feeling a lil better. thanks again

Welcome aboard now you just hang tight and get through withdrawals just keep that a priority and maybe get to a meeting and hear about how this program is saving other addicts, if you want more reading here's  some of the literature that lays out the steps and most of the chapters are in this also, eat it up your going to need every bit of that to change the life you have to a new one and its all there in the literature and from the sharing of others experience strength and hope, hope you hang in there .

Hello Paint, and welcome to a new way of life. Vini is right, the first thing to do is to learn how to stay clean, this makes the other stages of recovery possible. Suggest you get to as many face to face meetings as possible, introduce yourself as new and listen. You will find answers to many things that may be disturbing you now. Please return here and let us know how you are doing and ask questions....we are here for you, and we have been where you are. Good Luck and remember, withdrawals no matter how bad they seem at the time, are only temporary, and there is a new day coming. Hold on, I promise it gets better...

Dan

Hey Paint, I know we have been talking back and forth on my post. I just pulled yours up. I'm sorry to hear your in full withdraw right now. I know it can't be easy. I see my partner go through withdrawal and it hurts me to no end. But I do see an end as long as he stays on his path and doesn't go back.

I'm fighting for you!!! Please pull through and be strong, just think of the good days ahead once you've made it through the withdrawal. Its going to get harder before it gets easier but once your over the hump, you will be so much happier!!!

P.s. I hope this is good advise.

J.

Hi Paint, I know exactly what youre going through, I am a heroin addict as well. I have been off it for over a week, maybe its been longer, time seems to go so slow now that I'm just trying to get through this. The research says that most symptoms should subside after a week, but I really think that depends on how much you were using, cause I still feel horrible; not as bad as the beginning, but still there. Its definetly one of the hardest things I've done, but I know it will be worth it in the end. Just hang in there, and feel free to talk to me anytime, Krikit
