Welcome to the forum. I just wanted to say congrats on 4 days clean from H, but please be careful with the booze, us addicts get cross addicted very easy and the alcohol will take you down fast also. How long were you using H?  There are quite a few members here clean from herion now and made it to the other side and you will get a lot of support.  Have you thought about getting any type of aftercare? Good luck and feel better soon.

Check out the health pages here in the top right of this page, lots of good info.

Hey Brian my name is James. Im the guy who Laurel told you about heroin addict 13yrs.
Brian you have only started your journey 4 days is great. Its a great start i went to hell and back on many occasions even thought life was not worth living,how wrong was i.I took heroin with my partner for 13yrs.I struggled at first and caved many times you are 21 you have your whole life infront of you. Heroin is an ugly nasy drug that when gets a real hold of ya it does not let go easily. It tricked me many times to get me using again,anything that happened to me was an excuse to use heroin again. Thisis going to be real hard work i wont kid you about. How did you use heroin ? . Ill help you all i can ill tell you what to exspect no beating about the bush. You have a great start 4 days is awesome.Iv been clean over 6 months,Let me know how much you were using how you were taking the gear IE snorting smoking shooting .You can pm me any time i had a wonderful women on mh help me as i could not do this alone Good luck Brian and i hope to speak to ya soon ....James

Hi welcome to the forum!

And congrats for your decision, Brian...secrets remedies ? as you can imagine there are no magical pills but read the health pages ( on your right side of the screen ) The Thomas Recipe and the Amino Acid protocol.... there are some stuff and advices that can help you now.... Please, hang in and be positiive that it can be done... we have a member here that was on heroin for 13 years and he is clean and happy, it is not easy but it can be done. I am sure he will come with advices and he will share his experience with you when he sees your post...







immodium ( diarrhea )

advil

a good vitamin complex and a good B's ...

some magnesium ( best chelated )+calcium supplements... to help you with muscle cramps and aches

potassium rich food... apple/orange juice  , bananas, spinach, raisins, nutcrackers..

eat as healthy as possible ...some protein shakes.

this is very important, .....drink a lot of fluids to keep you hydrated ... gatorades, green tea ( theanine on it, will help your mood and to relax), tonic water ( it has quinine and it will help you with RLS )

Hylands restful legs to help you with RLS , hylands cramps legs

maybe some natural stuff to help you with sleep like melatonin and valerian root ( good for anxiety too and it helped me with the stomach cramps , imo).

lots of hot baths ( with epsom salts if you have them ...)

start with walks and some light exercise as soon as you can to boost your endorphines, enjoy the sun ... exercise will really help you a lot to  heal and to feel better :)








all the best :)

Congrats on getting clean but do use alcohol.  You are just switching one addiction for another.  go get melatonis or valarian root otc to help you sleep and lots of hot baths.
