• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I don't want to go into much detail on my private life. I need some verses to read to help me through and fin my way. I live in a broken marriage. I am an addict and have been using opiates to deal with my problems. Days I don't have opiates I use benzos and am very bitter towards the world. Wife says kIds don't come to me for anything because I do not do anything for them. I do not work or anything. I get overwhelmed so quick that I always quit my job and end up using again. I am stuck in this marriage. I am very young and had kids way to early. I don't know what I'm doing, all I know is that I am failing. I keep my use hidden from the kids. I try to use fitness to stay off the drugs, but I always quit working out because of them. I feel lazy now because I don't do anything except use drugs and study on the computer.Sorry just didn't know where else to go. I come to you for help. Any help welcome.. Pm if you'd like as well. Thanks.

I'm a recovering addict, been clean for almost 25 years. I get it.

I suggest you follow this link, get hooked into the NA fellowship in your area and start going to meetings on a regular basis. Like, every day, and take the suggestions.

You don't have to use anymore. You can stop using, lose the desire to use and find a new way to live.
