Hello Strawberryangle.

Soberrecovery is a great place to start. When I first found it I 'lurked' for months before posting anything as I was scared to.. It's helped me much, hope it can help you too.

There are many on here who are struggling and many who have overcome Meth. It's a huge step to take overcoming any addiction and takes courage so I'm glad you're here. I may not be much help as I'm a struggling newbie as well but stick around, there's a wealth of wisdom and experience on this forum.

In the forums you can also post in the drug addiction section. I recommend reaching out to as many as you can on here.

Hi Strawberry!
Hang in there. Does your Bf use too? What are the specific hold ups in finding a rehab? is it financial? Do you have any family members out there who know of your problem who could help?

Hi

Yes my BF does also use we are eachothers trigers, My family knows my problem and they wanted me to live with them there in Calif. im in Az. I did find a place they take state insurance becouse money is tight .And im hanging in there,My BF is getting help so as I go in . We have been together for 5 years now ,crazy but I am also still married have been for 25 years we had a bad split up and just havent filled D yet .But with doing Meth everything is tomorrow and tomorrow never comes. What are my chances on staying together with my BF do you think .Our whole relationship has been using ,But we are together 24/7 and love every min. of We both dont work he has 100% disabled . How are you doing and do you have kids or a BF

Strawberry,

I was incapable of getting out of the hole I was in with out my family, pushing and pulling. Your BF and you are like a match and flame, triggers for each other. You need to step out of your box (easier said than done). If you can't go to rehab please get in touch with your family, your bf is incapable of helping you as he needs help himself. Call someone in your family and tell them you need help.

I have no kids and no BF, my last relationship fizzled do to my addiction. Do you have children?

Hi strawberry

you can always use this database
Substance Abuse Treatment Facility Locator

simply choose your state then location...if you click on the select services button you can refine your results to things like price and the type of programme available.
