Hello Navin

Seem's to me your going trough a time of despair and been self medicating for a while now...there was a time in my life were I like you tought it was over for me so I can relate to your question...Is there anything left than can help you, yes there is you say that you have been under psychiatric help for a long time, at this point my oppinion is that you need detoxification first and formost, what I can suggest if you have the means to do it is to get yourself in a private clinic where you could be medicaly supervise and where you could go into therapy to get to the roots of your struggles.

I dont know where you are from but in your case even if it involves travelling to one I would strongly suggest that you take it under consideration.

 

I use for twenty seven years before going to a clinic and I have been clean for over ten years now, at the time I never tought it would be possible for me I was a total wreck, first I went trough detox and gradualy began my therapy (group and individual) it lasted six months as a inn patient, before going in a supervise appartment in all it took me two years.

 

I will say this is was the best investment of my life, tell yourself that you are not alone in this situation (wich your not) so before taking any drastic measure's think of this, I have seen you before on this site Navin and your still here so I believe you want a change in your life the only thing you have to do is ask for the help and lend yourself to it.

Good Morning Navin

I am glad that you replied, your question to me I will try to answer, Did I live a goal less life at the time I tought I had everything under control and tought I was living well.

 

I had a house, new car, familly ''friends'' and was working in construction on major sites here in Canada, but I was using wich means that my mind was always in a altered state, and that my friend cought up with me to a point where I couldnt live without the substance and couldnt live with it either i was caught in this infernal cycle.

 

You see Navin by having a mind that was altered my growth as a person couldnt evolve due to the fact that I wasnt giving me the chance to live out my emotions good or bad it was like it was frozen in time due to the substance and my altered state, it is not a question of will power I have tried to manage my use in many ways and fashions just to find myself broken again.

 

In my experience this is a journey that one must take in a ''selfish'' way meaning that for once in ones life you must think THIS IS FOR ME & ME ONLY in order to obtain the serenity and solice that you are seeking (unless I'm wrong here).

 

As I said will power as nothing to do with it your heart is where it must come from its not a celebral decision but one that comes from within your soul to put it in simple words, do you want a major life turning change in your life that is in my view what you should ask yourself.

 

Navin you are a young man and you can achieve great things as you understand them, time is on your side here, I was face with that decision at the age of 40 years old, truly my friend (brother) I hope that you will consider what I'm saying to you.

 

As my Grand Father use to say

A old man sitting down see's further than a young man standing up.

Peace be with you

Michel
