Nowhere to Go but Up

After a scary run in with being drugged on Saturday by a trusted so called friend I've realized how much of a problem drugs and alcohol have become in my life. I thought I could handle this on my own and quit cold turkey with no professional help or intervention. A friend of mine passed away last week due to heroin addiction and it's all become too real of the path I'm going down. I'm out of control and I hate who I've become and what I am. I've made the decision to try out NA because at this point I know I need help.

Yikes, I'm glad you're OK.

Do NA for sure, and is visiting a doctor an option for you? Detoxing can be dangerous and medical intervention can make it safer.

I'm glad you've decided to live a sober life. I'm sorry about what your 'friend' did to you, but I think you might find that it takes a lot of changes in our lives in order to recover, including friends.

Please know that SR is here to offer support.
