• 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.

Hey Im proud of you!! I want you to know I was addicted to a lot of pain killers and various other drugs for 3 years, I know it's not as long as you, but anyways.. The hardest part is the withdrawal! Once you get over that BUMP, it is a lot easier! You are going to do great, the withdrawal was so hard for me because of other drugs I did, but once it went away it never came back.

GO GO GO GO!!!

I am so proud of you! It takes a lot of strength and willpower to get clean. I know that you'll be ok. In the short time I've known you, I can tell that you are a kind and loving person, and it's really an encouragement to me. We are all pulling for you here. You have my prayers and my friendship if you ever need me.

You are amazing. I wish you everlasting peace.

With love,

Great to hear that a fellow addict has found recovery! I hope you're doing well still and will keep you in my prayers. I know how you feel, I'm a recovering addict as well. I used to shoot heroin everyday 5-10 times a day or so, more and more towards the end. I spent 5 years of my life destroying it. I was terribly addicted to cocaine and heroin and fell in love with the IV method. I know exactly how you feel. You can do it! I believe in you! I'm coming up on 5 months now and used to have 17 months at one point and fell off and got back on after almost a year spent shooting up and I struggled through the withdrawals and everything to get and KEEP my 30 day tag after having relapsed so many times and being unable to get more than 40 days for so long, I finally did it!

I know of so many people who are living miracles, I know I'm one. God saved me and his gift to the addicts, Narcotics Anonymous saved me. God didn't want me to die out there, even though I've ODed multiple times and should've died more times than I can count. God had a better plan for us than to die trapped in the grips of the disease. I'm a living miracle and so are you. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK! God Bless you! I believe in you and remember, in recovery, we will love you until you can love yourself.
