I just wanted everyone to know I have struggled sense i was 15 with heroin addiction as a heavy IV user the whole time I was homeless and hopeless I have 9 months off that stuff now and im 23, more or less I just wanted to let anyone who is still struggling that it does get better and you can get through it

Do the scars heal.
they do it takes along time though i still have a few tracks but vitamin e cream helps with the healing but I would never be ashamed of them.
How did you finally accomplish such a heroic task? My daughter is 24, has been using for a year now, has been home a little over a month from rehab and has relapsed in spite of a lot of support and counseling that was put in place prior to her discharge. She was prescribed Effexor at rehab to help her depression and feelings of sadness and I had really hoped that the improvement in mood would help sustain her through the post-rehab adjustment period. Sadly, this has not been the case. I feel so sad, angry, scared and hopeless.
@sheila55 Honestly I had to lose everything to really take in the fact that this wasn’t the life I wanted to lead. Everybody is different when it comes to wanting to stop, but there is one thing that everyone has in common and that’s stop for themselves. Now I deal with depression also which cause a lot of people to go back out but what you can tell your daughter is that she needs to look in her rear view mirror and relize that it’s not good to take that road anymore, now I don’t know how deep her addiction took her but I can bet that she’s has done some things that shes not proud of and thats a direct result from the addiction. As cheesey as it sounds she needs to get with people that have the same problem like N.A. meetings, I was against it for a long time but it helped me it dosen’t help everyone though so don’t force the idea upon her.
