Stayin’ clean

[Vegas shortee]

So over my christmas break I went out with a bang abusing what opiets I
had and now I back in this new city and have to stay clean. I have a
new job and school work but living in a city where I barely know any
katz I get depressed and go straight to the only thing I know
here...where to get dope it sucks my man's 10 yrs older than me, works
so much leaving me alone and thinks I'm a weak bitch and needs to suck
it up. Any peeps out there feel me?

Yep. I feel for ya. How have you tried to kick it?

umm, I'v tried several times in the passed yr. mainly just cold turkey
I only weight 110 lbs. so methadone treatment really wasn't an option
cause the minimum dose is 30 mg and that makes me sick as shit. So i
get methadone waffers on the street. I'm going to my first NA
meeting this week I hope I met some cool sober people, but I am very
weak and sorta scared to become friends with anyone. I can't go through
withdrawls again my body just can't take the horrible cycle. I'v been
in the drug game since I was 16 and I'm 22 now I need to be done with
this shit. Feel me

Yes, opiate withdrawl is a complete bitch.

NA certainly does help but it is best to kick at a medical detox facility then do a 28 day rehab. If you are broke then they have state-run facilities that will pay for it. Are you on methadone right now? If so, what is the daily dose? If you are on smack and/or other opiates then you can go to a detox then rehab. My sponsee kicked 130mgs of methadone in jail and survived. It was bad but he survived. Most detox places won't take you until your methadone dose is at 30-40mgs per day.

NA is great. You might want to try AA as well. The message is the same. Just substitute alcohol for drugs when the people talk. I've found that AA meetings are generally more organized and have better sobriety. For me I go to one almost everyday. Drugs were more my thing than alcohol. But I do think on or two AA meetings on top of the NA would be beneficial. It's hard to stay clean without a support network. Getting clean is easy. Staying clean is a whole differnt story.
