I just feel alone. I feel like I need a substance to make me happy. I’m depressed. No energy to do anything. The other day I got some heroin but it was bad and didn’t do anything so I didn’t tell my husband. I’m ashamed and scared. I do better in rehab or some kind of structured place. I feel institutionalized. Idk what I’m even saying. I just know I HAVE to stay sober and I am desperate for a happy good life

Caitlin, maybe rehab would be good for you. If you are using daily and need to detox, you will need to do that. Whether it's rehab, or finding a group like NA or AA, you will quickly understand you are not alone. There are thousands, millions worldwide of us out there who have been through he'll and come out the other side. You need to reach out. You've started here, now take the next step. Tell your husband the truth. Decide on the action you should take, and do it. There is help if you look for it.
You’re not alone

Your deff not alone. What worked for me or anyone else may not nessicarily work for you. I would tell your husband as he could be helping you stay sober and making you happy. Hiding shit always blows up in your face.. Bad things happen over secrets. Good luck with your journey and reach out if you ever need anything
Just feel blessed that shot didn’t kill you. They killing folk out there on the streets. Got another chance to stay alive, cherish it. Just don’t pick up no matter what. Hit zoom meetings at least. Need one let me know. Welcome to a new beginning.
Good afternoon Caitlin!!!! Are you taking the right steps by asking for help. It’s like somebody it’s already said be thankful that it was bad because it could’ve killed you. I’ve never done heroin or shot any drugs. But I know people that have I’ve heard some bad experiences. I would recommend that you go into a rehab. It really sounds like you need it. In there you’ll learn all about it and see what it does to people. Everybody’s worth what they get. Get sober life is so much better. And you save so much more money. It might be the best thing for you and your husband. And yes you should tell your husband because if he finds out later on down the road. You never know what might happen. You just need to have faith in yourself. If you don’t have faith in yourself I have faith in you even though I don’t know you. Because we’re on the same boat here with our disease. I am a grateful alcoholic today. And the reason for that is because I have just for today. Because Yesterdays It’s gone tomorrow’s not here yet so that just leaves me in today. And I have a few years sober I still look at it and save them one day right now. So good luck in your journey and I appreciate you sharing your story.
