Hi Plague,

I can't give medical advise but I can and will give my love and support.

It's ok to discuss [but not promote] drug use but good you put in that thoughtful disclaimer, it shows you care about the rest of us and will be appreciated. Many of us discuss how much we use/used, it's part of how we explain our addiction.

I feel for you, I'm a codeine addict weaning myself off and know all too well the living hell of addiction.

You did so well to flush the rest of your drugs, I know that must have been hard and I am very proud of you for being so strong.

Many people here have successfully gotten off heroin and subs so be patient and you will get people sharing their experience with you.

It's OK to cry and you are not weak or pathetic or a fool, please don't think that.

What you are going through is a battle for your life and it's gonna be the hardest one you've ever fought but you can and will win it.

The only advice I can give you is to forgive yourself for the past and look to the future. Keep hydrated, try to eat if you can and try to sleep [even if it means dressing and undressing, maybe try a medium to light blanket and see if that helps] if you can't sleep go into the chat room, you'll meet some very supportive and caring people.

Please see a doctor, you need professional help to get through this. I did and mine has been great. I also told my parents, they were sad but very supportive, I'm sure yours will support you too, remember that they love you. Don't worry about disappointing them, trust me, they'd rather know what's going on.

Keep reading and keep posting.

I'll check in with you tomorrow Mate,

Much love and understanding,

Faerie
