This is a true first for me to actually write this is shameful and painful enough. I beg for mercy and understanding. Mostly, I beg for forgiving myself for what I have become.
When my husband left me 5 years ago and my depression worsened, the doctor suggested adding Ritalin to my antidepressant. I agreed. I never would have thought five years later I would have become so desperate to find relief from my circumstances that I have progressed to snorting and injecting, looking for the ultimate "high" off a prescription medication. I am no longer in denial but who I have become is making me feel worse than ever. I hit rock bottom with injecting and am now scared. I have messed up both arms and developed an abscess that drained on its own but also migrated further up my arm, now I am applying warm epsolm salt soaks and praying that it will go away on its own. I can't let this moment in time destroy my life. I have too much to lose to go to hospital. I will go if I start showing signs of worsening but for now I am praying. The positive that this abscess has created is that I can say whole heartedly I WILL NEVER INJECT AGAIN. Snorting and plugging aren't beneficial so hopefully once this issue clears. I can then begin working on stopping oral use of Ritalin. It no longer serves a purpose and this instance has literally scared me straight. I have no where else to turn. I can't let anyone else know. This HAS to get better and I swear to myself I will defeat and conquer. I am so ashamed and scared.

check out that smoke ring. It tasted really good. I smothered it with Maulls BBQ sauce which is Local to St. Louis and one of the best I ever had.....

I was recently separated from my wife of 33 years and it's complicated. Anyway I rented a room about 15 minutes away and I see my kids about once a week. I see the people who own the house I live in once in a while but other than that I stay in my room where I do my cooking, wash dishes in the shower, read, color, and sleep. I get out at least once a day. I grocery shop and I attend 2 meetings...
It sounds like this is a Prayer to God since no one else can know that addiction is controlling your life right now.
If you called the substance abuse center at your local hospital, you can talk to them confidentially and I urge you to do so now. You desparately need detox and substance abuse treatment!
You could easily die from injecting Ritalin, if you haven't already and your family will be devastated! Please call now and keep us posted, we care!
We will keep you in our thoughts and prayer!
God Bless!
I was a drug addict for years. I thought my drug use was harmless, but eventually I began using hard-core drugs. My body has never fully healed since the first time I took hard drugs.
The first thing that a drug addict needs to do is simply stop the drugs. I think that it may be true that drug addicts are often likely people to end up in prison, within a society. I think that we turn to drugs to enhance our social interactions, which is a ultimately false axiom. Most people are drug addicts today. I took a pharmaceutical pill once, and it was a hard - core drug high of which lasted for days.
Its been years since I quit taking drugs and my health has since then recovered a great deal. But, I will always feel that the experimentation with my body damaged me.
I give you my condolence and would like for you to quit your drug addictions. The best way to quit is to just quit every single one. You need to stop taking caffeine, nicotine, marijuana, and whatever other drugs you take implicitly.
Thank you
