Unhappy My first day..

I've been an active IV methamphetamine user since 2011. I've tried numerous times to quit using, everytime I use, I always say I'm never going to do it again, or stop shooting and only smoke/snort/eat it. But that demon inside of me never fails to come alive. But today feels different (06/07/2014) I don't want to hide behind my meth monster anymore. I can't afford rehab, so I'm trying something new.. I'm just tired of being sick and tired. I'm only 29, I have to change how I've been treating my body, I'm pretty sure that I have hepatitis C.. there has to be something better than this life I'm living..

Welcome to SR lostthoughts. My DOC was alcohol, but we understand how powerful addiction is to any substance...you are among friends and those who know what you are going through. There is also a separate substance abuse forum down a little farther on the main page, but you are always welcome in Newcomers as well. Read lots and ask lots of questions- we are here to listen and help.

Hi and welcome lostthoughts - you'll find a lot of support and understanding here...

check out our substance abuse forum as well

Substance Abuse - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

If you suspect you have HepC - why not go get yourself checked out and find out for sure?
