Hello
Well hello,
I don't know where to even start. I guess with I am addicted to opiates, and I believe that I am capable of quitting if I had someone to talk to about it... I have been taking them on and off for 4 years. It started with a back injury and now I am physically dependent. (which I thought would never happen of course..dumb ass..)
I have been physically dependent for about 6 months now. I have no one in my life that I can turn to because they are addicts, or I don't trust them. This is a conversation I never thought I would have.
I am willing and ready to quit, I just need some support, I am ready for the week of feeling like crap. I can get through it, I am a strong willed person. I just need the added support for my weak moments so I do not slip up. I have to many people around that are addict as well, there is not much I can do about them. My boyfriend, my best friend..ext...
So I guess hello, and where do I start to find a few people to lean on in the next couple of months of this battle I refuse to loose? I have been through way to much in my life to let this control any aspect of it.

Welcome! You will find a lot of support here. I spend a lot of time on here just reading and learning about my addiction. It is comforting to know that I am not alone in this and the feelings I have are normal for what I am going thru!
So have a look around and stay strong!

Pleased to meet you KitKat. I'm so glad you reached out for help - there is plenty of it here, and we all understand how you feel. I had no one to confide in either, and SR has meant the world to me. Congratulations on wanting a better life. You can do this.

Okay ..
I am doing it! I took over 10 pills yesterday.... and I made a choice to only do 2 this morning... just enough so I was not sick! I did not have much time to explore the site yesterday, going to do it now! I already feel stronger just making the decision not to do everything I had....Thank you all for the welcome!
I know this is the easy part and I have many hard days to come!
