i’ve been taking heroin for 15 years and last year managed to abstain for 8 months, which is the best i have ever done. i have since relapsed and now thinking about having a naltrexone implant. i have found keeping a blog really theraputic and encourage you all to keep some sort of diary, either at home or online. days tend to merge together when on heroin and its hard to pin point specifics, so keeping a diary can be a good way of keeping track of your emotions.
one of the hardest things for me is having to lead a double life, nobody would think i was addicted to heroin from looking at me, far from it. anyway i wish you all the best on your recovery and sometimes its worth looking into the idea of having some kind of blocker. its a good idea to have some kind of safety net in place at least for tyhe first twelve months after giving up.
