Update on my condition, for those who care....

I have been clean for almost 2 months. Yeah I know that it isnt much but still, I'm really proud of myself. I stopped cocaine because my nose was literally falling apart. I couldn't blow my nose without pieces of it falling out. I got bloody noses 5 to 10 times a day. I look like a human now. I stopped the heroin and I'm still in the "detox" process. I have to take methadone and naltrexone daily to help keep my withdrawls under control. I was stupid and waited until something "happened" for me to stop all the drugs and I will pay for that mistake physically and mentally for the rest of my life. I'm doing much better, and thank you (you know who you are) to the certain people who were nice enough to care and warn me about what i was doing. I don't really have access to a computer very often so I won't be on much but I jus wanted to say thanks :wave:

Yeah you wanna watch that nose you don't wanna end up like Daniella Westbrook - An english actress who's nose fell apart totally in the centre when she was snorting drugs!!!
hopefully hook up with you in the big Apple
Good luck with it all.
you'll be pleasantly surprised that there is little or no long term damage mentaly or physicaly.
i cained most of it very heavily for years.
whenever i have any kind of medical test ...my blood pressure is perfect. all my vital organs are near perfect.
alcohol abusers are the ones who suffer health problems for the rest of their lives.
when you finaly get rid of the methadone etc and are truly free from it all ...you will be amazed how fast you become both mentaly and physicaly very very healthy.
good on you BB for admitting you lost control and have done something abiout it.
you'll be fine ...real fine.
Hope you stay strong xxx
Well done!!
I'm sure its still going to be difficult but you've made the most important step. Keep it up.
100% respect foro you BB and good luck and stay strong
I remember reading that thread thinking ' I hope she realises sooner rather than later' so it is good to see that you are on the right track- I can imagine it'll be really tough but it'll be worth it for your health
Good Luck:)
Take care of you

well dun u deserve it babe
I am really pleased for you.
I was sitting here reading a few threads thinking I hadn't read anything by BB in a while and wondered if she was ok...
Then I see this thread!
Am well chuffed - you used to be great for giving people advice on these boards and so hopefully we'll have you back soon!
Good luck with it all and well done!

I'm a relative newbie here so I'm none too sure what the past has held for you, but I getting a slight picture from your first post in this thread.
So I hope everything is going ok for you, you take care and keep safe.

I've been using that there line for aeons, and it appears in the book "words and phrases that are property of Susie" so remember to pay the fee everytime you use it

bastard ...30years of delusion up in smoke ...
I'm a newbie here, I registered in order to ask some questions. I didn't really know where to post this, so I put it here, since it's related to BB condition. Sorry if I seem to pollute the thread.
I recently discovered that one of my relative has been taking heroin. Nobody in the family know the specifics, since he or his parents wouldn't talk about it.
I just know he started last year in spring or summer, and stopped last spring when his parents discovered it.
Since then, he's been on a treatment to stop.
I've been through the fact sheets and the threads on this site, and there's some questions I'd like to ask. I'm particularly interested in BB and Morocan Roll since they have personal experience of it, but any input would be greatly appreciated.
- how much fixes does it take to become addicted ? what duration and frequency of use ?
- according to the duration and the frequency, how much difficult is it to quit ? what are the risks of failure ?
- My relative and his parents wouldn't talk about it. I'm not even supposed to know. What should my behaviour be ? avoid the subject as long as it is not open before me, or start on the subject ? what should/can I do, and what mustn't/shouldn't I do ?
Thanks by advance.
Regards,
Gwen
the withdrawl from that would be like a mild dose of flu or a bad cold.
if you have been 'absorbed' by this stuff for years ...it can get very complicated.
heroin is your wife is your life is your only true love. heroin comes before all other things ...physicaly emotionaly spiritualy ...more often than not financialy as well. you have a lifestyle geared to getting and using which becomes ingrained in your very soul ...becomes a part of you ...your personality.
heroin is your only real true freind. heroin is also like a demon who has possesed you.
heroin is the ultimate painkiller. you have felt nothing remotely 'normal' for so long that ...laughter is amazing when you rediscover it ...as are tears. feelings come flooding back that you haven't experienced in years ...
heroin makes you comforatbly numb.
most addicts are convinced that packing it in will be terrible ...how will they ever have a good time again? will they ever be able to laugh again? how boring is a drug free life?
the thing is ...they cannot see that they stopped laughing a long time ago. they haven't truly had a good time in years ...cos they no longer know what that feels like.
i'm rambling ...goodbye for now ...talk again.
the good news ...most people not only survive this terrible thing but actualy thrive later in life ...glad they actualy did it and escaped ....
