Dealer keeps calling me
I've been clean for 9 days now but my dealer keeps on calling me. He has called and called for the whole time I have been clean. I guess he just misses the business. I don't answer the phone when he calls and was just wondering if he would be giving up anytime soon.
blah blah blahhhhh

Right on!!! don't answer that call. When I was released from prison I had this same problem. Everybody kept calling, stopping by my house and it used to **** me off. I finally changed my phone numbers and posted a note on my door to 'LEAVE ME ALONE' It took a while but they got the message. congrats on 9 days

You're doing the right thing by not answering the phone Angelhugs.
I agree with 4health, perhaps you may have to change your phone number. My girlfriend who is also getting off drugs turned her cell off completly this month. She just couldn't stand the dealer calls longer.
Good luck!!

When I was in Rehab, one of the young kids there got a call on the hospital phone from his dealer!!! Poor kid about freaked out, hung up on the jerk, but was pretty shook up most of the night! I felt so bad for him!
These scumbag dealers are the lowest of lowlifes! Hang in there **{AngelHugs}} and don't answer the phone unless you know that it is someone you want to talk to and soon he will surely stop!

i have to say that was one of the worst problems i had when i got out. i had finally resolved myself on the fact that i was going to be clean but not everyone had that same vision. keep on doing what you are doing. whatever it takes. if it takes changing your number then do it. just don't let them into your head. nine days is a long time but you are still too weak for the conversations that would come if you answered. gratz on the nine. it is so worth it. i promise.
NA Rocks!

Boy, I know what you're going through. It's very trying, to say the least. I had to spend almost a full day typing emails, following them up with phone calls, to numerous online pharmacies, telling them to stop sending me pills. They are infamous for just billing your credit card and shipping a big ole bottle without warning, and I was terrified that might happen. I got a few phone calls here and there, but I told them I was a drug addict in a program and I no longer wished to use them. I was in the middle of a $300 battle with one OP who screwed me royally, and I just walked away. My recovery is more important to me now. I just call it a lesson learned. But I can't imagine a dealer calling or knocking on my door! That's gotta suck!
Good luck to ya, Angel. Make it clear to him you don't want him around. And congrats on the 9 days! Keep it up!

Funny, no bartenders or patrons at old haunts called me after I got clean and sober... but, yup, the damn drug dealers kept on calling. I had to change my phone number and I suggest that you do, too. Immediately. The peace of mind well out weighed the hassle.
Just do it.

That SCUM! Keep him in your memory so you can check and just not pick up or take the call and hang up on him. He'll get the message eventually.
Sadly, my lil bro is my dealer. I can't even check up on the kid. He's dying of drugs and I can't even talk to him or see how he's doing without falling into the abyss myself. This does suck, but stick around it gets better.

Angel,
I dealt with old dealers/using buddies in 2 different ways when I got clean.
1-I ignored them calling and refused to check my voice mail, after a month or 2 they stopped calling.
or
2-I told them to **** off & the only reason I associated with them was b/c of dope and I don't do dope anymore so they can go **** themselves...
Option 2 might not be the best thing except for really stubborn people.

First off im very proud of you for not answering the phone. In my case its a eye opener and a heart sting to read these posts. i WAS the drug dealer in my case and i guess it hurts because i once did the same thing. i agree with not answering the phone and changing your number is probably the best thing that you can do in this situation. i congratulate you on your 9 days sober and i wish you the best, keep posting. id like to know how your doing.

Thank you very much everyone!! You all helped me so much. I thought i was just gonna go crazy with all of these calls...but today.......he finally did not call. Maybe he is finally getting the hint...
Made it to day 10. I'm having a bit of a rough night but I want to stay clean more than I want to use so I think I will be ok.

That is awesome. Don't answer the phone. In re the above quote I was a drug dealer for a long time and I was just sick, that's all, just sick, a lot unwell. That's just my humble opinion of myself though. Most of the dealers I knew were addicts just like me. People with a disease. Not all but most. We are not bad people trying to be good. We are sick people trying to get well.
