Why is it so hard for me to leave the drugs alone for good? What is preventing me from getting the help I truly need? What must I do for me to make a decision to be honest with myself about the situation and the fact that I have let it control my life and when I don't have to
Tamika, it’s hard for all of us. It’s a daily struggle. But; you have to want to want it!!!! Sobriety is so wonderful!!!! Just for today. Wishing you happiness always!!
Edward is right, it is a daily struggle. Have you tried to go to a meeting? If not there is an app you can download called meeting guide. Input your location and it will show you all the local meetings in your area along with online meetings if you can’t make it in person. It’s worth checking out. Be strong, you can do this!
I swear I still struggle with cravings from drug addiction even after almost 3 years of sobriety. But I always remember to NEVER FORGET HOW MUCH HARD WORK I PUT INTO MY RECOVERY!!! I can look back and see I was lost in the drugs, caring about them more than family. More than my fiance. Took me a few slip ups in my recovery to say F THEM DRUGS!!! I stopped cold turkey and had family and friends keep me away from the drugs because the real way to quit is stop all together and have a strong support system. I was irritable but over time, I went from zero life in my eyes to gaining tons of life back to my eyes!!!
Just take it easy on yourself and be patient. I was once there too.i feel you.Remember your not the only one and your not alone.just keep trying.
