Newbies Nest Roll Call

my name is justin, i am 34 and live in minneapolis. i have been off of heroin and benzos(except temazepam for sleep only,also i take 110 mgs of methadone daily cuz i never could do the cold turkey thing except in jail but i would allways get out and overdose so methadone has really been my saving grace despite the stigma surrounding it,it helps my cravings as well as keeping back the inevitable wd, plus opiates dont effect me on it so i know its a waste of time and money)anyway i had a stroke back in feb. ever since i have been either in hospitals or rehabs, i have had three MAJOR surgeries including having my skull opened up and some capalaries deep in my brain cauterized, my last surgery was to put a plastic plate in my skull where they had to remove it so my brain could swell because my actuAL PIECE OF SKULL GREW BACTERIA ON IT SO THEY USED PLASTIC AND TITANIUMdamn caps lock, ANYWAY if ever i had a craving to shoot heroin it was after my last surgery, i woke up in THE WORST pain i had ever felt and all the dilaudid in the world wouldnt get past the opioidreceptor -blocking effects of the methadone'plus on yop of all the pain i had to re-learn to walk with a paralyzed leg(my left arm is too)so i am finally at home and doing out vpatient physical therapy, also thank god for my amazing girlfriend who has stood by me since day one(and she has stood by through my addiction issues too!)but she helps me with everything from showering to getting dressed,needless to say its been tough on us both but luckily 4 her shes not an addictbut god do i wanna get high, on anything! god please help me hang on and not throw away everything i have worked so hard for but for some reason i am almost ready to do just that! i suspect a lot of it is because my ego has been beaten to the ground and stomped on and the physical pain is getting real old! also i have little support and never cliqued well with naaa folk can anyone relate at all?

PLEASE hang on. Stay here and while away your time reading different posts. Spend your time really investigating this site. There is so much here to look at. Keep yourself occupied getting information from different readings. Look for a couple of folks here such as Brydlady or Kuya or others that have been here awhile who can direct you to places on this site that are helpful.

I can't imagine the pain that you have had and continue to be going through so I know it seems easy for me to say "do this do that", but what I'm suggesting is to refocus on the why's of addiction and not its cravings.

Smeggz, can you copy and past your message into a new post under Just Starting Out? That will get a dialogue going unlike this thread which a lot of people don't visit.

Hang in there. We can all relate, although you've really been through hell. So glad you have the support of your girlfriend. Lots of people here to talk with. Please keep reading and posting. :l
