A Year and a Half
A Year and a Half
I came home again and decided, that was it. This was the end of it. I was going to beat this. So I locked myself in a room and detoxed off pills. (I was taking 10 dilaudids a day). I detoxed off in two weeks and felt somewhat normal. After that I decided I needed to be on suboxone matienence to physically stop myself from being able to feel getting 'high'.
Its been a year and a half since that day now, and I'm a year and a half clean. My life has changed DRASTICALLY. I now have a full time job, and am moving into my first apartment with my wonderful boyfriend who is also sober.
There is always hope. It doesn't matter if you're 50 or 15, or how long you've been actively addicted, you CAN get clean. Never, ever give up on the idea of someday living a sober life, because it's obtainable. I can't tell you how many times I thought I'd never be anything but a junkie. That I'd never make it to be 25. That I'd never be happy off of drugs. I am everything I ever thought I'd never be, and all of those things are great.
If you are actively addicted to drugs and want help, SEEK IT.
