Just another day..

I have been struggling with a pretty severe opiate addiction, be it pain pills or heroine, I just wanted to get high.  I've now been clean for close to 9 months except for one week about 5 months ago.  Over the past few months I have doing pretty great but for some reason today I just feel completely defeated.. I can't pinpoint why, but something isn't right.  I have absolutely no reason to feel this way.  Currently I'm working a steady job, and going to school for what I've wanted to do since I was 12 years old,  Is there anything I could change or work on to break this depression?

I couldn't agree more with replacing your addition to supplements. While they are good for you most of the time, it is our behavior that needs changing once we get clean. I have to catch myself to this day even when I take aspirin. The bottle says two---my brain says six is better.

Tommy, have you been involved in any sort of aftercare since you got clean?

Im not sure how I feel about replacing my pill addiction with supplements just to feel better. I understand its not the same, however the dependence on a pill is still there.
