Hi I'm new to this site. I joined because I'm quiting heroine and cocaine cold turkey. I took my last shot today at 4 am. I'm detoxing at home and I'm here for support.
I'm 17 years old. I've been using for 5 years and this is my first time detoxing. So naturaly I'm scared. So any advice or words of encouragement would greatly appreciated.

Hi and Welcome!

I'm glad you found us and that you have decided to live a sober life.

Have you talked to your dr about detoxing?

Welcome....

I too think it would be wise to talk to a doctor.
Are your parents aware of your situation?

Hi. I'm new here too. I wanted to welcome you. Do you have anyone to support you through this? Five years is a pretty long dependency, You'll need help with this.

I admire your decision and look forward to hearing more from you as you grow in recovery.

Godspeed.

Welcome to SR!

As others have stated, detox can be not only hard but dangerous to go through. I would suggest speaking to your parents and/or your doctor.
