Does this mean that i am weak? It's obvious that i cannot stop on my own and need help,but i cannot afford to take the time to go to rehab.I go to a few meetings a week a listen to a lot of good stories from other people and some of them really touch me deeply and are similar to mine but i keep taking these drugs everyday.How do i get a sponsor and will they help me even though i am still using so i can cut down and stop? Am i supposed to go to them or do they come up to me seems how i am the newer guy at the meetings.It is hard for me to share my troubles with someone that i don't know face to face.Any help will be appreciated.I would love to come on here and also tell my wife that today i am clean,but i don't know how far that day will be. |

Basically, brother, you need detox. That's usually no more than 5-7 days. It's an investment in the rest of your life. Whatever it is you're concerned about missing (job, family) can all be lost if you keep on using. Once you're clean, you may have a better outlook and you are much more likely to be sponsored. But, you gotta want it. Getting clean has to be your priority...if not everything else you prize now can be gone. Trust me...I know. Hoping you see what has to happen, I remain your humble servant, |
Keep going to meetings. Maybe arrive early and leave late, talk to people. Things will start happening. :) |
I didn't have time for rehab. I did have time to continue killing myself with poison. |
