no more hope left ;(

7 years addicted to so many things. Got clean from cymbalta (yes it can be addicting) got clean from 3 years of an outta control ativan/xanax habit, got clean from drinking myself to sleep 7 days a week, but these demon spawn opiates have a strangle hold on me and wont let go!!!!!
My home life is not the best and thats partially my fault, but i dont enjoy anything anymore. Everyday is a struggle to just survive. Sittin here totally blowing my schedule/plan.
I dont know what to do anymore. I feel like giving in. 7 years.......and the sheer amount of what im on. I feel no hope at all.
How can i beat that kinda xanax problem and not be able to make a dent here?!?!?!

There is always hope, never forget that.  Get in touch with a therapist or counselor.  Find one that suits you and be totally honest.  You dont have to be a prisoner any longer to these pills~~~

First, to answer your question:  You were able to quit the Xanax because you didn't LOVE it as much and you still had your favorite love to fall back on. Opiates!

You need to get some realistic help. The forum is great for adjuvant support but you need the real deal. You are waaay depressed my friend. Your family doctor may help you out and maybe you are already on AD's, I don't know.  I do know that giving up the opiates will cause depression so you may not be ready to do this until you get the rest of your life in control. You know what I mean?  

One thing for sure, stop snorting!  It's hard to break that habit but you just have to. It will hurt you in the long run. And continue to taper down a little. At least you'll be moving in a positive direction.

But you need some help and you need it fast!  There are addictionologists which are my personal favorites. Look around for some help and know that opiates WILL defeat the effect of some AD's so all the more reason to cut it back.

Don't give up; it's too easy and that boy needs his Dad. You know that...
