scared to quit heroin

Heroin withdrawal is not fun. You CAN recover from it, but it is likely you will always kinda yearn for it in times of need. You will find certain things will trigger cravings, things that are common in your using, like needles or certain environments. I would recommend you learn to recognize these, rationalize them and understand them. NA is a good idea, so is a connection with friends and family. Social support will save your ass when the chips are down.

You might also want to look into better medical alternatives. I know that with a lot of addicts, it is very likely that they are self-medicating. I recommend you see a doctor or therapist about that, because you you are depressed, you will likely simply go back.

All things considered, I wish you luck. You have one hell of a fight ahead of you, but it's a fight you can win. Be prosperous in your endeavors.

That's the nasty thing about heroin, you let it in. It makes things seem beautiful. It makes you believe it's you're friend. It's not. I realize you probably know this, but I'm saying anyway.Heroin's one Hell of a drug, but if you keep taking it. You will be dead before your heart stops. You'll lose everything including yourself.You know why you should stop with out asking anyone. You just have to be strong enough to do it. Once the withdraw is over it'll be easier.Just don't let the dark nights that come (and they will) make you fall back to it.You're stronger than this, you can do this.

Message me if you want to talk. Wife of a recovering heroin addict.

You are a father now. You have a family that needs you. That should be enough of a reason to quit. Return to NA and stick to the program. If you can't imagine your happiness without the use of heroin, then maybe you can imagine your child with a father who is locked up in his own world up in the sky. A child that'll have to live through your drug addiction. I know that this may come across as vindictive, but believe me when I say it comes from someone worried about the security of a family emotionally and physically.
