Im struggling with doing dope every day. I've been to rehabs, and the last time I went, I went to detox, an I thought id be good. I should've stayed the whole 28 days. Now, I'm stealing from my family, and pawning anything that can get money for me. I need to get sober, cause I'm starting a new career Monday, and I can't and don't want to be this way going into that new life. Any suggestions that can help me in any way, I'll take it to heart, and work on it asap... Please, anyone?

I wouldn't have been able to maintain my sobriety if I was doing it "cause I'm starting a new career". I had to do this because I didn't want to die. What happens at this new job when you're withdrawing or nodding out from being high? Do you think you're going to control it all of a sudden because of this new job? Unless you detox today, it is more than likely going to end badly. Make sobriety your priority, go to 90 meetings in 90 days, get a sponsor and work the steps. That's the only thing that has ever worked for me. I'm praying for you, and I truly hope that you make it out of this thing alive.

Don't do drugs, certainly don't drink. Try to make a meeting, it starts with the first step. Life is hard. Anyone telling you different is wrong. It's hard for all of us. You have spent a while becoming an addict. it's going to be a while till you're better. Get busy on any project that's been bothering you, a messy closet or house or car. as I say, go to meetings, they are life savers, if only to do something for a couple hours without doing drugs. I tell them at the meetings I am just hiding out from my addiction till I am better, that's why I am there. That's not good but it's the best I can do now. Meeting makers make it.

Just relax and enjoy life. Wishing you happiness
I think you should get help before you start a new career my friend. If you can't control yourself now can you control yourself with money in your pocket? or is your addiction just gonna progress from there? My best advice is get back into treatment. For me I decided life's to short to be taking advantage of the ppl that love me... I still struggle with it but I never want to break their hearts again. They deserve us at our best. I hope this helps. Sendin love brother you got this
Maybe you need a maintenance drug.just a suggestion

I've walked off done at 100mls dropped down to 30 in three weeks then started crawling.this worked for me...be an adult and make your own decision
Jesus is the only thing that is going to feel that void in your soul. AA meetings and celebrate recovery are wonderful! Love you and I'm praying for you! You can do this! You are worth it!
You can get and stay clean. That stuff has you enslaved and doesn't help you at all. I know you can.
Matthew, in my experience as a chronic relapser for too many years and now sober for 15 years, I learned that MY SOBRIETY has to always be my number one priority. Over finances, romance and even family. Without absolute sobriety I lose all of the above every time! With sobriety I have all of the above and much more.
I strongly suggest rehab and going all the way this time.
I had to detox and the 3 meetings daily for 5 years. I worked the 12 steps with multiple sponsors multiple times.
I know it sounds difficult but it is actually the softer and easier way!
It’s easier than struggling high or fighting the losing battle to my addiction alone.
Theres the truth! Now what are you going to choose?
I’m here if you want to talk
I am so sorry you're struggling. That sounds so difficult and I hear the earnest desperation in your post. I've been there, and the gift of desperation is actually a blessing and a good first step. I'd recommend going back to detox; you're powerless when you're in the throes of addiction and still have the chemicals in your body. After that, I'd recommend finding the longest treatment program you can find and being willing to do and try EVERYTHING they say. Taking suggestion is key. Once you graduate that program(key word is graduate, stay no matter how badly you want to leave), immediately start going to meetings and get a sponsor. Maybe go to a different town than your hometown, or at least a sober living in your hometown. Try doing things differently, because clearly this way hasn't worked. I believe in you and wish you the very best.
