...See more Being 42 years old. No great education, being a drug addict the past 25 years. Do I still have hope to be someone? I feel like these 42 years flew by and I have nothing.....nothing to look forward to either. Anyone ever feel like that? Can I still do something with my life?

...See more Hello everyone thank you so much for reading this. I am 42 years old and am a male. I've been an addict for about 17 years. From snorting Adderall, ( stimulants ) when they'd run out opiods and or anything else I could get my hands on. I've been to 5 or 6 detoxts, and I am diagnosed with dual diagnosis ( masking my anxiety and depression with drugs. ) I haven't been serious about quitting until 2 years ago. I new it was my Rock bottom then and now I know it's my rock rock bottom and I'm to the point of finally being able to get myself sober. I wish I had more resources, but AA speaking personally is an amazing program for me. I used to use every day. If I wasn't using I was planning on a way to get money or I'd be sleeping. Finally I can see that my worse day sober are better then my best days high. I just just relapsed. It will be a two day relasapse as I got some medication I shouldn't have from my doctor. I know I can stay clean but I have a question..... Being an addict for so long, not having much work skills or a college degree. Basically starting my life over, my question is-is there a life for me? Can i still do something with my life? Can i get people's trust back? Can I make something out of myself? This is the 1st time asking, I know it will be hard at 42years old, but can I? This isn't supposed to be a foolish question as I just looked at it and it appears to be. I can really use some support, I know I have to get and stay sober. Thank you!
