Does it even matter anymore?
Here I am waking from a 3 day crack coma. Induced by 6 strait days of constant using and running. I came very close to shooting heroin for the first time the other night. Also dodging a dealer for 4 days that really seems like he wants nothing more than to put a bullet in me for money owed.
I smell, my hair is in so many knots I will need to cut it off to get them out. My skin is dingy and scarred. My lips are chapped and bleeding. How I made it home is beyond me. I still have a couple hundred dollars left but am so drained I cant even think about wanting to get high anymore. My car is on a repo list. My family has finally disowned me. All except for the grams and that isnt too far off. Lost the job. Lost all hope for a better way at the moment.
My head is so foggy I cant seem to walk a strait line.
There is broken glass all over my room. How it got there I have no idea.
I really let myself go this time. And I see no way back from this one. I lost my voice from doing so much drugs. I am scared to look into the mirror and see the reality of this past week. I really did it this time.
Grams wants me to go to inpatient and then sober living. I kinda wanted to do that before all this happened.
But now I am so far in the BS I dont see the point.
I feel I am doomed to be this way forever. So does it even matter what I do now?
I have lost everythign I worked so hard to get back. I am barely hanging on to life. So what does it matter if I go? Just to get out of everyones way? So they dont have to deal with me anymore? Push me onto the system and hope for the best?
Why go when i dont even care anymore?

Only you can doom yourself to be like this until your luck runs out. This isn't what God or anyone else in your life wants. Yes, it does matter, it'll only be too late when you're gone. I really believe that God has a plan for each of us.
So are you going to do whatever it takes to reach out and stay clean and sober forever, or do you want to keep riding the merry-go-round until it's too late for you?
I know you care. Please get help.
Please listen to Grams. We can only do so much here in cyberville Chi. You need a human being in your life RIGHT NOW that can help you. Not later today or tomorrow - but right now. Please go get the help that you need.
I don't want to lose you.
Prayers for your healing Chiynita.

This is the PERFECT time to go to treatment....call up gram right now, tell her your ready. Call anyone who can give you a ride to treatment...call the treatment center and go now.
You really sound just like me the day i went. Those 30 days got me ready to begin the journey of sobriety.

Listen to Daddio...listen carefully....listen again...do as he says...if you do, things WILL improve...the choice, as always is yours...and by the sounds of it honey, the way your going you ain't gonna have many choices left, so choose wisely. GRAMS!!!!!!!!!!!
Much love to you.

Much love to you.

Trish, I hope it has beaten you enough times now for you to do whatever it takes to recover. Don't even think about it, sign up for inpatient and sober living. You owe it to yourself and your Grams to at least try.
Do it!
Do it!

You can do this take a deep breath and make the move.

Chi, I am sad that you are in this place but I will be much, much sadder if you choose not to try....
I have enjoyed your contributions on this board, so much compassion and love, you need to choose to have compassion for yourself right now even if you have to fake it till you make it, you DESERVE, Chi...it is up to you...I pray, pray, pray that you listen to Grams, go to treatment, just put one foot in front of the other and do it, no matter what your brain is telling you , just do it, save your life, we care....you are in my prayers.....

I don't believe that you don't care anymore. You are coming out of a "crack coma" and are bound to be upset. It is "false" hopelessness. It is the drugs.
Your grandmother sounds like a wise and loving woman. Listen to her. This can really be the very last time you have to go through this.
In kindness and concern, Don
Chiy
It is the drugs that sucks the caring right out of you. We who are sober today are no stronger and certainly no better than you. The caring has been restored, that's all.
You have a spirit that fills a room and can change lives. All you have to do is change yours first. Do that and I know that you can help change a thousand lives.
Few of the long term recovering folks here haven't been where you are at now. Choose life, Chiy. And then teach others to do the same.

Chi--get help! Get help now--while you are still willing! It will only get worse if you continue....take advantage of treatment..it certainly couldn't hurt anything. You are so worth it!
P.s "I love you--brother!"

My eyes filled with tears when I read the news. You've almost always been there, every time I've logged on for the past 10 mos. Why do you come here, even with all your setbacks? Because deep inside, you still have hope that this can all be turned around. Despite what you may think, losing you would be very hard for many of us. Maybe Chiy this is your last time. The end of your story is yet unwritten. Please do not let your time on earth end in tragedy. Reach deep down inside yourself for the strength you know is in there...and get back on your journey to health and happiness. PLEASE go in to treatment, but don't do it feeling all miserable and dejected. Do it with hope & anticipation of a brand new life without these chains around you. We love you, Chiy.
Please get help. You are in over your head. I agree with the others, long term treatment and sober living. I think that is what you want, but you are trying to convince yourself that, that you need it by doing this to yourself instead of just doing it.
Give yourself permission and just go.
Much love and light and healing to you....

I felt the same way after I relapsed last year....had lost everything and didn't know if I had enough fight in me to try and get it back.
You DO want to fight back, or you wouldn't be here. It was the way you're feeling now, that made me realize I just couldn't do that sh!t anymore. No matter how much crack I did, I was filled with self-hatred and disgust at myself as soon as I came down.
Please, sweetie, get help. You are so worth it and you need some help to realize what a wonderful person you are.
Hugs and prayers!
