Relapse

I’m trying, I tried to OD twice this week but nothing happened

Go to detox.

Not an option, and I’ve been twice then once im back out in society it just starts again

When you get out, are you practicing a program of recovery?

There’s a couple of sayings in the AA program.
-nothing changes if nothing changes
-doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result is the definition of insanity.

What I’m trying to say is if you don’t like the results you’re getting then try something different. I’ve been there and had to realize that my way was not working. Time to try somebody else’s way.

Get out of where?

I understand, I’ve tried that and that still doesn’t end up working out…. Just got sick of it

I got no income, my local disability support declined me said I’m still fine, I have Adjustment disorder and I just shut down and isolate

I understand. Before I got into the program I had a million excuses for why nothing would work for me. Then I read the part and the big book of Alcoholics Anonymous where it said that I could recover regardless of any of my circumstances. I needed to change my thinking.

I feel I was on day 3 and relapse

Do you have the means to be able to come to the United States? I ask because there is a rehab that worked really good for me and I made a lot of new friends whom I talk with daily. The place is called Jacksonhouse it’s in golden hill a suburb of San Diego California. Otherwise try looking for one in your area

No , I have no income I’m on disability, And I’ve seen them they look amazing but they’re private and costs thousands I don’t have .

I went to treatment Center near me this August

It didn’t workout, I have a lot of underlying issues and mental health conditions and I needed a dual approach not just addiction

I know it’s definitely not cheap. Do they have some sort of payment program I know the place I was in does

I have found things that work but I have a disorder so I get overwhelmed and stressed very easily causing me to shut down and isolate which leads to using

I can’t physically recover from my disability just work on changing ur mind, but when ur reminded every step u have no leg and get sores/blisters it really brings u down

No it’s free here

Life never goes as planned for anyone , Hoss. You’ve got a lot of excuses to go get loaded , don’t you. Buck up , podnah. Work the steps. I promise it’ll get better

I was about 4 weeks. Then job fell through, few other things and now I’m here it’s Friday and I started a bender Monday.

I don’t consider them an excuse, but a way to help cope with the emotional and physical pain I deal with daily . But yes that’s not the way, which I why I’m working with a doctor to cut all the other drugs and just be on a mood stabilizer, anti anxiety and the odd sleeping pill
