Oh hun!!! I just saw your post. I am soo soo sorry. I don;t want to seem nosy, so please anything I ask do not be offended. And if you dont want to answer, please just tell me to shut up. ok?

First of all...hun..how old are you? Second of all, and I know you already know this. The mixture and amount your playing with is definately scaring me. Not to mention how small it makes me problem seem.

What about this roomate of yours. Do they know your trying to get clean? Do they offer you their meds? Or do they support you? Do you have any family near you can go to? Man if I could I would take you in myself! Is there anything at all you can get wrapped up in besides the using? 30 days is a hell of an acomnplishent my friend! Way to go. And, we all slip sweety. It just means get up and start again. You went that long, you can do it. I have faith in you, I can hear the desperation in your posts. You definately want to do this. And you can..look at what you just acomplished? 30 days! I wish! So that is proof right there, you have what it takes to get it done.
Please stay with us here, and let us help you.

I'm so sorry that your feeling so badly.  30 days is a long time, that was a extremely hard thing to accomplish.  Don't give up, get back on that wagon and try again.  I know from another post that with all of your responsibilites it is hard, I wish I could come and do your job for you and you go go into in patient treatment or something to help you quit forever.  I'll pray for you and all of us.

oh my god, i'm so so sorry.  you know, you start getting up there in numbers (days) and you begin to feel safe, like you've got this thing licked.  what was it?  did you just feel like you went through hell just to feel like nothing very special?  did you know it was coming?  if you don't want to talk about it, i understand?
i've read this before, but a lapse is not a relapse.  my prayers are with you.

Try to keep in mind the reason you want off...whatever your poison is. Do u have kids...a wife/hubby...a job...whatever you need to get you through this sink your nails in like a b*tch in heat and DON'T LET GO....
Remember there is also a higher power, at your worst moment, you will ask for him to take you, and he won't. Not to punish you, but to make you a stronger disciple. I believe every one of us has a destiny, some of his sheep just get lost along the way! You need to figure out whay will DRIVE and MOTIVATE you to quit.
