Question I need help! temp sponser?

i am currently in a acute psych ward for a long term detox from methadone and xanax. I have no access to AA or NA and i am the only addict on the ward so i have no one to talk to. I really could use some support from either email or on the phone. i started on 90 mg's of methadone and now 2.5 months later im on 35. im also on 1 mg of xanax.

is anyone willing to be a temp sponser or even just a friend on the phone.

Males only

jeff

If you're in a psych ward, i should imagine it is (fairly) hard to use there, right?

Am I missing something?

Glad your here!

I would suggest another possibility for temporary sponsor would maybe be contacting the NA group close by and ask them if such a situation could be set up. I would think the medical professionals would want to be involved with this certainly.

peace to you

you may want to post this question/thread under substance abuse:

Substance Abuse - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

Perhaps you can get a friend to exchange PM's with>
Personally, booze was my deal - not nearly enough sober time and zero experience with narcotics.

Maybe that will help!
peace

Is there anyone from a local NA group that comes and visits the hospital? I know AA does hospital and prison visits where I am.

Possibly NA comes and visits people who OD in your area and your facility's administration can get you set up.

Sorry that you feel alone - even if we contact cyberpeople, at least we're talking/typing with someone.
