gonna join this community just to post this cause it really hits me hard here. dated a heroin addict for couple years. he'd been doing it a lot before i met him, a little while i got to know him, not so much once we started dating. really one of the most amazing, caring people i've ever met in my life. such a good person. i loved him more than i've ever loved anything. well, after about a year and a half he went back to using all the time. i lost my best friend. physically, he's still here. but beyond that... i can't even have a conversation with him. i know he's sick, i know anyone with this problem is sick, i understand that. but please, if not for you, get some help for the people who really love you. i lost my heart over this shit. i know you've all heard this before, i know its not that easy, but if you can think of someone you really love, please find some help for them, if not for yourself. don't leave them like i've been left. please, please, please try to get through this. its such a waste of so many good lives. i couldn't help him but maybe this will hit home and help someone else... please. you're above this. don't sink so low. be the amazing person everyone knows you are.

Thank you for your words and emotional appeal. Unfortunately when you are in active addiction that stuff really doesn't matter anymore because (at least for me) you can't feel anything but pain and hurt and depression so you don't think of yourself as an amazing person and you don't think you have anything to offer to those you love. I literally remember writing out like a balance sheet type deal and thinking my son would actually be better off without me both due to the pain I cause in his life and the financial impact of me dying.
Your thinking gets all messed up but every once in a while a solid emotional appeal like yours can get through (I believe in AA we call it a "moment of clarity") so I am sure NA has something similar.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
