Do you have any numbers to call? Have you tried NA or AA hotlines to find local meetings or zoom meetings? Get with someone sober and throw those numbers away. Asap

Thank you my boyfriend is coming home in an hour an I’m letting him know to delete them out of his phone. I’m not exactly sure where to find the hotlines but I’m trying my best to stay busy and distracted I might take a mindfulness walk when he gets home

Ahhhhh, your boyfriend has numbers to cop? Why?

#5

Gotta change EVERYTHING to stay sober. No half measures as they say

#6

When I was using I didn’t have an active phone so I used his phone to call the dealer and he was too afraid to tell me to change so he was kind of an enabler until we had a child

#7

I changed everything but I forgot what circumstances let me to check into is blocked call list but I did check and I found the old numbers

#8

Well, sounds like he’s still enabling by keeping those numbers. Well, hope you make it another day.

Don’t do it. You been through that road before you know it bring nothing good. I have a friend I’ve been trying to get her help. She’s homeless and keeps going further in that dark hole. Don’t blow all that hard work and effort now or never.

I'm a heroin addict and been clean for over 3 years. Whenever I use to have cravings and thought about copping dope I would do something to keep me occupied for 10-15 minutes and it would always pass

I learned alotthat it’s just a passing feeling and usually tend to my son or try to go for a walk

I don’t mean to scare you. I lost my brother to a heroine overdose. He was 13 years sober. Sweetheart some of us don’t make it back. Hold on to your sobriety like your life depends on it. BECAUSE IT DOES
Stay sober one day at a time. Reach out for help

Don't know but I'm proud of you! What an accomplishment!

When those cravings come, just remember to play the seen all the way through. You might feel good for a while but sooner or later you will be right back where you are at that moment having to start all over again and having to deal with whatever it was you were feeling at the time of the relapse.

Whatever you are feeling at that moment, it's never bad enough to start using or drinking again. You made some phone calls the last time around and that's more than I can say for most people. The result is that you are still sober. Big congratulations to you!!
