giving up

[mij123]

is it possible to give up heroin on your own without help

[worried878]

narcotic wd will not kill anyone//as a rule...course as mentioned above...health problems that are under a drs care may need to be addressed before detoxing at home

there r lots of safe drugs//both rx and otc..that can help u thru this....meetings or some type of aftercare is almost crucial for most...making a plan and doing ur homework..knowing what u may expect can help..the health pages r full of great info

keep posting

methadone will help you get off Herion but I strongly suggest you going to a methadone clinic and getting maintenance and clinic are very private and only about 13.00 a day lot cheaper than H and they will help you detox safely. You may be on more H than the methadone you have or methadone may be to high dose. I am on methadone maint. Have been 2 yrs if you have questions message me try to help.
IMO I strongly think you need help from clinic or something, I have list of clinic if want them let me know.

are you planing on using meth as a maintenance or to taper off the H ?   it is going to be hard to stay with your partner still using they will not go back to the way it was as once an addict it is very difficult to keep your resolve with it in the house and being around someone else high.. this is where meetings a support group would come in. I'm not trying to give you a hard time it is just that you deserve to be free of this drug and a solid plan would be a great start...

what kind of medication where you given ? and I'm very sorry to read about the loss of your dad. I hope you find it in yourself to stop as you know it really leads nowhere..  and yes I believe you can get help for yourself without announcing it to the world but it helps to be honest with someone close for support and also to be accountable to..

thanks for your advice.

my partner has been on h for 15 years and in all that time i never felt tempted but last year my dad passed away and i smoked a little in a roll up and it helped one year on and i cant stop i pay for it out of my wages so cannot afford it no one in my home is aware of it yet nor are my family or friends i don,t mix with addicts.  i am scared of stopping i have been given medication by a friend but so far have not tried it as im scared of geting depression. i dont want people to know if i can help it but wanted to know if its possible to give up without help. or if u can get secret help

Hello and welcome to the forum.. It is possible to get off H in a home setting if you do not have medical problems that will be exaggerated by wd. There are over the counter products that help with the symptoms. staying off is a whole different ball game. many of us moved from the town we used in changed who we hang with places we go. counseling NA or AA are all needed for long term recovery.. You just have to be really sick of being a junkie.. getting honest with those close to you and yourself.. Please keep reading get tips on wd look into meetings. sit in on a few and find one that suits you. If this dose not sound doable to you I would definitely check into rehabs and see what they have to offer.. keep posting you will find a lot of support. It is not to late to reclaim your life and get it back to moving forward.. I wish you well and please feel free to contact me anytime.. lesa

anything is possible but not recommend. when we do things our way they end up being the wrong way. Want it bad then surrender to your addiction and seek help Try detox, rehab, and aftercare. My suggestion attend an NA meeting and explain your substitution and they will guide you to the best way to go about this. If you don't like the way it goes then go another route. BUT PLEASE TRY

you owe it to yourself

any questions or nee to talk let me know
