Hi Jetster
Thanks for posting, its brave of you.
Addiction to anything is horrible, not just for the addicts but families of the addict too.
Trying to get off Heroine or any Opiate once hooked is a very daunting prospect. Not only have you got to go through withdrawals which are horrendous and can last weeks, you then have to face up to the things you were self medicating for – in his instance depression and sleep.
Its really easy for people on the outside to say just stop taking it, but not so easy to actually do.
Before I say anything else, do you get any inkling that he wants to stop?
There is alot of help out there it’s just knowing where to look and seek it out.
Do you also have people you can talk to?
