How bad will my withdrawal be after 2 weeks of heroin use. Ur not shooting up?

[Bananabella]

I started using 2 weeks ago when my 17 yr old niece died suddenly from a bad liver disease 4 hours before her transplant... destroyed us all. I do not shoot up and was using roughly 3 bags a day ... very low grade stuff in my area. Can anyone please help.. I could really use someone to talk to... I had not used for over a year. Very disappointed in myself and today is day one. I refuse to let this get any more out of hand.

Most of us Addicts have raised children that have witnessed the devastation our addiction leaves. My own children had to pull away so not to continue to get hurt. I was fortunate that they forgave me and treat me with such respect. I'm still very humbled by my family's forgiveness.. Really when you think about it a 6 month stay in a rehabilitation Then a halfway house after is the best possible way for a junkie to get on their feet and make it. If he can work the program to his benefit He would gain his life. I will be sending a Prayer for I know first hand how difficult it is to walk away from that life. I was glad to read you will be checking out counseling I went this route. It was difficult speaking of the things that made a junkie but it was so worth it. All the guilt I use to carry is gone All the shame all the stuff that comes with using gone. I work my recovery here and in other ways all thru the day. DominoSarah Our fearless leader We have been together this 9 years.. I consider her a Big part of my recovery and helping to shape the Person that came out of it. Do not let her fool you she was the Stubborn one lol :)) There are a lot of us here that have been around awhile. Some use AA as sara does some use NA our Counseling like me even Clergy but most of us have something going on at home that helps in our recovery. Everyone that knows me knows I'm in recovery. This helps keep me accountable.. I'm glad you are not dealing with the rls I think that is the worst and the sneezing ! Make sure you eat tonight ok and keep the fluids going and the walking is Wonderful ! It just helps with everything !!

Caffeine wasn't a good idea.. one cup of coffee made me throw up... odd.

And yes he knows what I have gone thru... unfortunately he saw it face to face. I stopped because of him.

I went to stay at my sons home with his gf last night. Walked to store and back twice... walked to an old friends about a block down... was awesome to see her. She being the one amazing friend I have that knows it all... has been almost.a year since I have seen her. Loved it... felt good. The walking I think prevented the rls and I did feel better. I will open up and tell u my 19 yr old son is in jail for a dirty urine on probation. It was heroin...
I'm devastated and now his gf is telling me he got it in his system from bagging it up to sell.. wtf.. excuse me but omg...
his lawyer just informed me he will go inpatient now then to halfway house. He signed a contract with drug court. This is his second time dirty for heroin I'm now told. Either way I did not raise my son to be part of this epidemic in any way shape or form. So... yes I'm going thru it.
Hence my appreciation for this thread.

Btw no rls or restlessness .. think it's cause of gaba... they should be using this for wd for everyone. What a blessing it's been... stand by it fully. I'm proof.

One year is long enough to find out all that H brings is Misery.. I'm so glad you are escaping that life. I was sorry to read you are having BF issues that always complicates things and makes it difficult to grieve. I was happy to read you got some sleep and that you ate and are drinking. Spending the day doing busy work our walking a few times will help a lot I'm also glad you are on the downward side of the wd. The Mental part does suck but better then being strung out. Congrats on day 4 ! That is great the more days between you and your relapse the better !!
