Need support!
I'm new here. I signed up because I'm on day 1 of quitting a 3 yr addiction to perc 30's. Long story short, I'm having a tough time right now, literally I'm tears at work, I took a sub but my minds telling me to go get high! I left my money cards at home to make it harder to and it sucks because I have the money but it's for my mortgage! I feel like if I had some support and someone that cared I could beat this but my bf is also trying to beat this and my sister does drugs too! Just looking for any kind of support right now to not give up and go get high!!

Thanks guys! I'm 26 years old, my bf and I got caught up in drugs as well as my sister and it's spiraled out of control! This weekend we decided to have one last bang and quit today but it's so hard! I have suboxone to take because I had a bad addiction I could do 10 pills a day, steal $, didn't care! Honestly if I didn't post on here id probably be high by now I would've went home and got $ and got high. So figured id give this a shot first since every other time I just gave in! My bfs birthday is next week and he's leaving me if we don't get clean which is why I'm trying harder this time. I just feel miserable right now and so tired and lost without my drugs. I literally broke into tears and I'm struggling right now to not go get high! Looking for others to relate and know I'm not alone and I can beat this addiction. I told my family and they just put me down and talked **** to me when I reached out for help.

my biggest monkey on the back was alcohol.... but I have spent a couple years in a moderate addiction cycle with cocaine and MDMA in my past so I can somewhat relate when it comes to pills....
I'm sorry you got the reaction you did from your family. That's probably an indication they simply don't understand or are afraid or don't have the tools themselves to be of support to you. Try not to take that personally or hold it against them... stay true to yourself.
The addictive power of drugs can be fierce - but for me anyway I found the craving cycle and the physical aspects to pass relatively quickly once I reolved to stop. Hang in there, stay clean, have you considered getting to an NA meeting?

I'm glad you want to get clean. It's a much better way of life.
I strongly suggest talking to a doctor about your situation and getting some support IRL through something like NA or a drug and alcohol counsellor.

It takes some time for your body and brain to heal from the addiction but in time it will come. You won't feel this badly forever. Stay clean and you'll be feeling better soon.
