I thought i'd say a hello to everyone i'm a recovering heroin addict and have been off it just over 3 years, i lost 6 children through my addiction, some how at 7 months pregnant with my 7th child i realised i needed help, when my son was born he was taken off of me but at 9 weeks old he was returned to me and we went and did 8 very hard months in a family residential rehabilitation unit i now have 2 wonderful boys whom live with me, i'm married ( my hubby not had drink in a year and a half) have a nice home and i'm studying to become a nurse. I still get cravings every now and again but they terrify me as everywhere i look i see a vein ( i used to inject) i can taste it the lot. I know i can never say never but i'll sure as hell try sorry i'm i'm going on a bit but it's a taboo subject with my family and friends.
