Welcome schk
I know how you feel, it's a tough road but it is well worth the trip. Get into a program and get yourself a sponsor. I have 38 days today and it keeps getting better all the time. You will always have bad days, but if you have a good support infrastructure you can learn to deal with them in a healthy way. Keep working it, you're worth it. There is a lot of support here so keep posting.
God Bless

Im an addict. My drug of choice is more. I liked the drugs you mention, but my favorite was whatever you had and I didn't have to pay for. If you follow the 12-n-12 of NA (12 steps/12 traditions), it promises you freedom from active addiction. PERIOD. An addict, any addict can stop using, lose the desire to use and find a new way to live. www.na.org , then regional links then Hong Kong. I used to live in Hong Kong on HK Island. off Conduit Road, North of Central.

Hi schk...
Glad you found us.
I think it is rare that someone in recovery gets the monkey off their back completely.
It lurks there in our subconscious...
We just need to remember that is a primitive part of our brain and we can learn to ignore unhealthy impulses.
