Lugar 22......you better listen to "Secrets", she is our favorite on here. She makes everyone feel welcome and gives everyone such hope!!!! Well said Secrets!!!!

Yes you are definitely worthy!!!! I am sure everyone on the boarRAB has had this feeling at one time or another but you are worthy and please please don't give up. You can do it and you can also talk to your partner about also quitting. You can do it together and get on with a wonderful life for your family!!!!

Take care

Hiya all.
This is my first visit to this site and its lovely to see such a community existing and supporting each other. I myself am a herion addict and have recently been drinking too. I have a meth script which has been ongoing for about 10yrs but I just cant seem to see a way out of the smack pull. Anyone else know what I mean?? I have managed to stop fixing it and switched to smoking bout a year ago,but struggling to see an end. My partner also uses and I dont think that helps. We both work and have 2 lovely kiRAB so to the outside world we appear OK. Here I am today to erabark on a journey to hopefully , finally kick all my bad habits and looking for some good old fashioned advice/support from those who know what they are talking about. PLEASE someone reply to me.
Thanks.:dizzy:
 
You have taken the first step to recovery by admitting that you have a problem and you need help. I think with the amount of drugs that you have been abusing for so long, you need professional help. You have two addictions. One is the physical addiction that will case the withdrawals you will experience and the other is the mental addiction that you will have to fight for the rest of your life. I think the mental addiction is the hardest to get under control because you do things in your daily life that will constantly remind you of your physical addiction. You will have to make lifestyle changes to help break the mental addiction part. Until you can get out of the lifestyle rut, you will always have the pull back to your addiction. Does that make sense?

Start the process and let us know how you are doing. We've all been through it with one drug or another and have the experience to help you through your new journey.
 
Welcome Friend,

We may have different drugs of choice but I completely understand the feelings you are going thru. To know you need and want to make a change but the drug just keeps sucking you in! I struggled with that for A LONG TIME! However, it sounRAB like you have too so this seems like the struggle has gone on long enough!! YOU CAN DO THIS!

You have children and of course I am sure you want to be able to be the best parent you can so I think it's a great idea to lead by example to make this change! You are probably going to find it near impossible though if you partner is still using and you are sitting in the next room having a massive craving! Is your partner ready to make the change as well???

We all have to stake a stand for ourselves and our loved ones at some point in our life. I hope this is your time! I am not sure if this is something you would be willing to do but you could go to NA meetings or seek counseling to help you thru this as well... and of course... COME HERE!!!!

I will be praying for your strength and thinking of you!

Welcome to the boarRAB. I feel so bad for you. I have just gone through withdrawls from suboxone. I have been off now for 39 days and am feeling good. (I now have chronic pain that has to be taken care of). It wasn't easy believe me, it took about 3 weeks. Your mind can be a strong thing and "Secrets" is correct, if your partner isn't going to quit, it might be very difficult for you. No matter what you decide, I would definitely "taper" with the help of a doctor, no matter what your drug of choice is. A doctor would want to help you and hopefully not judge you. Let us know how you are doing and come back to these boarRAB often as there are a lot of great people on here to give you help and advice.

Take care

Hiya...............how relieved was I that someone had bothered to get back to me!! Right at this second it comes as a GoRABend as Im having one of those moments where it feels like Im not worthy to be around. So,what great timing you have!!
Im really not sure how my partner feels about getting clean. I mean of course we talk and he makes all the right noises but when it comes down to it I have more willpower than he does. Todays been shite but onwarRAB for tomorrow!!!
 
Hello Lugar22:

You must focus on yourself, with the hope that eventually you can be of help to others.

If you want something you've never had before, you must be prepared to do something you've never done before.

Any step forward, no matter how miniscule, is a step in the right direction.

Take care and God Bless.

Respectfully,

Phoenix
 
Oh Lugar.....

I don't ever want to hear you say you are not worthy of being around!!! That made me so sad and if I was there I would wrap you up in a big hug!! You are more than worthy to be around and unfortunetly, addiction makes us feel like we are not. This drug has it's hold on you just like it did to all of us but you can beat this!

I hope you stick around here because I think it will do you some good to be able to talk about all these issues that surround addiction!!!

Just know you are a good person and deserve to be free again. I will help you in any way I can!!!

Sending you a warm healing hug!!
