[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 705772, member: 18958"] Welcome RCIII. I second what Susie says, about groups, and family involvement. There are parents on this site whose adult children are recovering from heroin addiction. There was a great Anthony Bourdain show (the chef turned author who has a program on CNN where he goes from City to City, country to country showcasing cuisine and culture) on West Mass. a couple of years ago which centered on recovering from heroin. Bourdain, who was born into a well to do New Jersey family in his early 20's became a heroin addict (while at college I believe, in Western Mass), eventually recovered, and became tremendously acclaimed. He is now near 60. He was an addict I believe more than 20 years. *There are young people here on the site who quit in their early 20's. Besides his 2 shows, and multiple emmy's Bourdain has written several books, the first called [U]Kitchen Confidential,[/U] I think. His story is inspiring. This is so painful to read, and so easy to understand. Bourdain's mother said that she feared he would end up in prison or dead and she did not know which one was worse. But look what happened? It is hard to see beyond where we are when we are mired in weeds and feel stuck in the mud. Remember the movie [U]The African Queen?[/U] There are things that we feel that given our situations, are normal. Forgive yourselves. [/QUOTE]
