New here
I'm looking for basically anyone who's been through this mess and made it through. A little about me - I'm 20 years old, a veteran (joined young and got out on a general discharge a while ago), and a heroin addict. I started with pills about 18 months ago and it moved on from there.
I lost a lot over this - my army career, a lot of friends, and my integrity (did a lot of things I'm not proud of to get money for dope).
What I'm trying to figure out right now is how to quit. When I think about dope it's like everything else gets shut down, and there's nothing but the thoughts about my next hit. It's the first thing I do every morning and the last thing I do at night. Whenever I decide to quit, I give up on that within a day.
How do I decide to kick it, and stick to my decision?
