I have been addicted to opioids for almost 15 years now. It started with oxycodone, during that time I was able to get myself clean using a relatively short yet painful method I came up with after a lot of experimentation. About 7 years ago started using heroin and syringes and ever since then the longest I have been able to go without using has been less than 2 days before the symptoms of withdrawal and pain become so unbearable that my body feels like it might shut down. Nothing has worked and I feel more and more helpless by the day. I have gone from day one of the most accomplished and driven people I knew at my age 2 isolating myself from the world to the extent of not even speaking to family. Every treatment option I have been offered just replaces one addiction for another. My goal is to become truly clean so I can finally start living up to my true potential again.
