Wanting to quit drugs and lift again, please help.......

[2BeSwoleAgain]

Man, I've really went downhill guys. I was doing so well in the gym, trained hard for three years. Started when I was 19 and went from 175 to 215 and pretty ripped(I'm 5'10") for the last 3 years.The last few months I've went so far downhill I can't believe it. I started injecting Oxycontins. I've messed w/ them the past couple years on occasion but this time I got hooked. Then I started messing with Heroin. Heroin is much cheaper so I kinda switched to Heroin and have been injecting it 1-2 times a day for the past couple months. I feel like shit everyday until I get my fix. I've with from 215 to about 185 quick. I feel shitty about myself, I lost my gym membership and havent lifted in months. I'm not sure why I'm posting this, I guess I'm just looking for some support and encouragement to help me get off this shit and back into the gym.Has anyone else ever been here? If so can you give me some advice on getting off this and back into the gym. Should I just slowly ween myself off the "H" or should I try to get Methadone. I don't wanna get professional help, I wanna try to quit myself. Any encouragement right now will really be appreciated guys. Thanks for listening and hopefully one day I'll be back on here with an update telling you how I straightened out and am back in the gym growing again.

Admitting your problem is the first step. Seek out help. Goodluck. Give us an update.

First off...

First off, I want to wish you the best of luck. No, I haven't been down that road and I don't exactly know how you feel or what you are going through so i am not going to sit here and lie to you and say that I have. As barnidge mention earlier the first step is to admit you have a problem, which you have done. I honestly wish you the best bro. Just do what you have to do and straighten yourself and your life out. I mean lifting for me has definately help my life in different ways then yours, but it definately helped me live a better life. Not just in the physical aspect. But also mentally. Once again, Good Luck.

you can wean yourself off, but there's gonna come a point where you have to put it down and you're gonna feel like shit for a while... and it's tough... and not everyone can do it... my little brother couldn't... he died in March of a heroin OD...

Good luck and try to stay around the people who love you and DONT hang around with those that have these bad habits.

One of my best friends is doing this right now. Literally. He's my roommate, I've known him for 14 years. He goes through about $2400/week in OC's.

He quite, cold, back in early June. That was a complete disaster, I had to sit here and babysit for weeks. He was so depressed. Intensely suicidal. He didn't sleep for 9 days. I've never admitted this, but there were times I secretly wish he would just finally kill himself. It's tough to spend 12+ hours a day, days on end, with someone who does nothing other than cry, vomit and stare at the wall. I watched him go from 184# to 137#, took him to the ER three times due to kidney issues. He improved to "just staring" (ie depressed but no suicidal talk) by early July. He seemed all fixed by early September.

Now he has started agian, continuously fuk'd up since the 14th of this month. I hate him now. I'll be here when he falls apart though.

GO GET HELP. If you want your life back GO GET HELP.
