Wondering..

[cruz214]

Well as some of u know im 30 weeks pregnant and anout 2 months clean from heroin. My husband is in jail currently and is clean also. He's been clean for about 5 months tho. Well I been thinking about when he gets out and its confusing because I don't know how we can stay clean. Of course we don't want to do drugs anymore AT ALL but ever since we have known eachother we have ALWAYS done heroin. I have NO idea what we will do now since we are clean. U would understand what I mean if ur an addict or ex addict..like u get bored or just one weekend u feel like doing ur DOC if u have nothing better to do. We are wanting to stay clean and do things with our son. Im just scared because I've never been clean for a long time.
I don't know if u undersrand what I mean. Im not being selfish, im just worried. I want to make sure we are going to stay clean.

hi. this is my first post. im 27 and just about finished a ten year heroin addiction. over the last year iv gone from 70ml meth ,down to 20, then onto 8mg buprenorphine. in just under 48 hours i go away for my dtox. im scared not about the dtox, but about living drug free iv never done it before. its been a long time, but this time it realy is the end of my drug use. for me the most helpfull thing i did for myself was cut ties with all drug users and change phone number. maybee put your relationship on hold and see if he can remain drug free outside of jail. whatever you do i wish you luck

HI Cruz. Welcome to the forum and Congrats on your quit and on your babe !! I can imagine you feel apprehensive about what will you do. are there any aa meeting that are closer to you ? they also accept drug addicts. also there are churches based in religion and outreach programs that are not, some towns have community calendars that you can participate in outing dinners and such.. a hobby you both can do together such as gardening with spring coming up. my hubby and I do photography.. also it would be good to reach out for therapy thru the community based programs There may be a waiting list but getting to why you both use, and having a objective person to speak with would be great..  You both need to fill your time try to attend meetings and reach out for support as Sarah said you need to surround yourself with clean people.. Take the time to eat well get enough exercise ok be kind to each other but most of all reach out to others.. I know with my partner when I was doing H we were alone alot and although it sounds good it was very bad for us for we played of each other and knew each other too well.. so I would have to say support and letting others in will be your best chance.. I wish you the best and yours, lesa

No, we are planning to start going to the n/a meetings that we were going to before but it's really far and we have no meetings around where we live.
We never have been around people that use. Everyone we know use but we never hung out with them or did things with them so I think we'll be ok with that ?

Are you 2 doing any type of aftercare?  Surrounding yourself with clean supportive people will help.
