SWIM would like to start a thread for all those addicts (like SWIM-self), who keep trying to beat drug addiction but often come up against obstacles (i.e. relapse) repeatedly too.
SWIM thought it would be good to have a thread where people could share their stories about their progression (i.e. when they stopped/how long and how they're finding it) and also their regression (i.e. if they mess up and relapse). So this thread will really be for addicts to support each-other in the battle against addiction (whatever drug it's too doesn't matter either).
SWIM is addicted to crack-cocaine (for 8 long years), opiates (2 years) and heroin (1 year). SWIM is on methadone (1 month) right now but just yesterday relapsed so this next week is going to be really hard for her to get clean yet again. SWIM is quite worried about her predicament....she wants to stop so very much and yet with three addictions to contend with if it's not one drug it's another. SWIM is almost in a constant state of craving something. Also recently SWIM has noticed her alcohol use steadily increasing so she knows she has to nip that one in the bud too or she'll just end up replacing one drug with another.
