I think maybe some counseling will work I have 15 years sobriety and I'm in counseling twice a month just so that make sure my mind's straight. Because my mind can go off and think of anything at any time about anything and I don't have no control. I am single my husband passed away 15 years ago when I got sober he died of alcoholism. Don't pick up pick up the phone call someone get to a meeting call your sponsor if you don't have one get one one that you can relate to go to a women's group somebody's going to relate to everything you're saying and there is a friend I'm in iowa. Good luck I'll be praying for you let me know how it turns out your friend always

Always can talk
NA meetings online. 24/7
Without meds all I can say is diet and exercise. Maybe take up disc golf? Movement and a healthy diet will balance your hormones out.
For the ice my bro used Kratom.. Legal but also addictive and tastes awful.
Thomas is right, meetings are important
You can message me and I will try to help
Stay strong you got this! One day at a time.
Q drugs is a drug is a drug. It's the obsession it's the not wanting to feel. I know I had almost 10 years clean time when my son killed himself and 20 mins after that phone call I had a needle in my arm that was stuck there for 2 years lost everything including my left leg. But I was given another chance I'm in NA I go to meetings I have a sponser been clean 18 months the 23rd and I have learned to live the guy in the mirror and my life is better than I ever thought it could be.

You can't beat yourself up over it just get through the sickness and then when you're back to thinking and acting "normal" start making things right maybe your partner will be more understanding than you expect
I'm so sorry for you losing your son that would probably drive me to using again too
You got this.
Sometimes thinking about recovery one day at a time gets to be too much.
So often I've found myself thinking about recovery 1 second, 1 minute, 1 hour at a time.
You can do this.
Put God first ALWAYS AND YOU SECOND IT GETS EASIER.
I know.
I was sober over 14 years when I lost my wife to long battle with ALS. We were sober together for 10 of those years.
So you got this.
Thank you it's a struggle but I'm doing it
What partner he picked leaving me and drugs over me and not having back when I needed him the most. That's not a partner. A partner would stand tall for the one they love like I did for him . He never did for me sorry last part off message upset me.

I’m not experienced in meth and illicit fentanyl. I’d suggest you talk to a doctor if you are struggling and get to a NA meeting with people who are similar in their struggles and strengths at overcoming addiction. Don’t substitute alcohol for drugs. It’s all dopamine.

I really think you should talk to your doctor. I know it’s hard to reach out. I had to go to meetings after I went thru a short stay in rehab. I just needed the support and connection with others.
I am in recovery from Heroin 16 years sober. I use to eat fental patches. I detoxed cold turkey. I have tried Suboxone and also methadone. Never tried meth unless it was in E. Usually if you get past the day 5 of the withdrawals you will feel okay. I would recommend rehab or some doctor visit even if it is a psyche or crisis center. You need to get some time sober so that you can gain the strength to get to a meeting. Maybe consider a rehab and a halfway house. I been to rehab 3 times and went to a halfway house. Once you get through the physical withdraw you need to find a woman sponcer if your a woman and work the program. Hurt people hurt people. From what I gather your hurting from what you have went through. Don't be discouraged and try to go to people who build you up. Hope this helps. Drink water and try to avoid caffeine.
