Daniel,
I know exactly how you feel. I neglected myself, my family, and my home for so long. I'm now 7 months clean from opiates and cocaine and things are starting to take shape. My family is starting to trust me, I dusted off my treadmill and I'm walking on it every morning, taking vitamins, and my house is organized and clean, my yard is beautiful. Actually, I've become obsessive about cleanliness, but that's o.k. I'd rather be obsessive about that other than obsessing about my pills or running out over and over to buy coke.
I wouldn't trade this new way of life for anything.
Just remember, things may be tough sometimes, but you can deal with it a lot better than you could if you were using. And if you were anything like me....you just wouldn't deal with it at all.

Have a great day!

Penny
