hello people, this is my first post on a drugs forum, allthough i have been a herion addict for 20 years. i have successfully completed a methadone rip (several times) this is the first time thaat i have not had a saftey net of meth or subutex/suboxone to fall back on. i am a single dad to my little8 year old girl who in reality has saved my life. i am a full time student studying criminology and hope to do my masters in sociology, i am a marxist and politically motivated, however i just cant shake this monkey off my back, for the past month i have been hitting up spag bols, smack and crack in the same pin. im so scared of telling anyone in case they take my liyytle girl away from me as she is my world as i am hers. i just cant believe the posistion that i have put me and my faughter in and now i cant see a way out. any advice would be really appreciated

I think rehab centres can only notify social services if there are serious concerns to your daughters safety. also as you are a bloke its highly unlikely you would have got custody in the first place of your daughter if there were drugs concerns, and you were more addicted when she was younger!

also if you are studying all those clever things (which is more than I ever achieved at uni), and actually know what Marxism and are friendly and articulate you are probably an ideal case for a sympathetic social worker.

Perhaps ask at your uni counselling place as there is no advantage in them dobbing you in to any other authorities and fucking up your life and losing you as a student, they get brownie points for mature students from troubled backgrounds..

plus with the budget cuts putting a 8 year old girl in care must be way more expensive than leaving her with a parent. The only thing I would be wary of is if you are not on good terms with your ex partner and biological mum of your daughter do not go stirring things up in any way (even if you don’t mean to) nor sliding too far “off the rails” (i.e hanging around with the wrong people, especially if they are doing crime to support their habits or dealing) as that would be the only big risk to your custody of your child. a friend of mine had some hassles simply because he took his son along to a squat but even then he didn’t lose access/custody rights…

BTW its nice to meet another northerner on here, and you’re very close to me actually. Also good on you for trying to prioritize your daughter, if you cant do it forself do it for her.

aww thats too sad :/

i watched this documentary a little while back. its russell brand on heroin addiction and how his friends putting him in a rehab centre helped him quit… and how he thinks abstinence is the only way forward, and methadone only prolongs a bad situation. he meets people in different involvement with this topic… i found it a really good watch, very moving

[video]http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p00wq21g/Russell_Brand_From_Addiction_to_Recovery/[/video]

but from watching it, i’d say that the power of people can help someone through something… in the documentary the rehab centre is run by an x heroin addict and they didnt seem like they would dob anyone in, it was just a friendly welcoming environment

so you’ve come to an internet forum advice… my advice would be that you need to get as much love as you can to get through this and enjoy watching your daughter grow up… i’d suggest the next step to be putting yourself in an environment to is conducive to change… go to rehab, its not forever and there are caring people there that have helped other people get where you want to be… life becomes simple for a while, just get through the day, chill, chat with people and do some menial activities.

good luck x

If you want to quit. Know this. The first 12 days would be the hardest. Vomiting, diarrhea, whole-body itch and pain, running nose, tearing, hot and cold flushes, feeling as if one million ants were eating through the skin. If there is a way to bypass these 12 days, then quitting opiates would be easier. Not that the physical addiction is the entire ball game. No. After getting over the physical withdrawal, there is the psychological withdrawal from opiates to deal with. At lease getting over the 12 days of physical withdrawal permits a person to talk and listen to a substance abuse counselor or a group therapy like a calm human being, not a twitching, sweating, writhing mess.
