I didn't know I needed to. I was to much making arrangements to make a daily planner. Just so I wouldn't have free time on my hands so when I quit it wouldn't be so hard on me.

I use heroin. I've tried to cold turkey it and went through hell. I always ended up using. I've been cutting back on heroin and raising my methadone. Isn't methadone a drug as well?
I am powerless over my addiction. I let my head do all the thinking and not the lords (HP for me). I am powerless over family that do not think I need meetings. I am powerless over my children, I have let them do whatever so long, that now I ca
