that is a good idea, i found the counseling the best help for me, and i am sure it will do you good also, good luck,
I don't use alcohol or any other drug...just pills. I don't know how I feel about na...only because I don't want anyone to find out. I have a select few who know this part of me. The last time I called a counseling center they told me that I needed to detox first so I think I will give them a call and try that route again.
i had counseling, it was a great help, i also went to some NAmeetings, they were ok, all of it helped. i do think aftercare is very important, i relapsed a few times before getting some, i wasnt trying to think i was clever enough not to need it, i just didnt realise how sneaky this addiction disease really is! i really wish you well.
Hey,
Good job for trying again, have you tried anything before for aftercare? Maybe like AA or NA meetings? Although do you plan on being completely 100% sober from everything, even alcohol, or just sober from the pills? because AA and NA programs work around 100% sobriety. You can also try getting a therapist/ counselor. I do think AA works well for some people, it is free and people are there to help you 24/7. You can find a meeting and go to one and see how you feel about it.
I'm going to do it this time...I'm going to stay clean. I want nothing more than to be free. I'm going to look into after care....what worked best for you?
welcome back, its good you are getting clean again, its not suprising you are sad, these pills mess our heads up, and you have been through such a lot, and you are also mourning your loss, i really feel for you, time is a great healer, as my old gran used to say!! look after yourself, god bless.
