I
Hi. I've never looked for support because I would never let myself admit I have a problem. Here I am. I started taking opioids for Endometriosis and migraines. Now it controls almost every part of my life. I'm trying to find the line between needing to take them for my Endo and taking them because they are the only things that make me happy. Idk what else to say or where to start. I'm ashamed and embarrassed. Where do I go from here? I'm terrified to tell my doctor because I actually need pain relief and I don't want it on my record.

Hey there
First of all I want to tell you that I am so proud of you. It takes a lot of courage to open up and especially a lot of willpower to want to recover. You are already doing amazing. Admitting it and looking for help is the first step!
You already have everything you need to recover. You have willpower. It is completely in your hands. And you CAN do this. Talking to someone here and having long-term support could really help you in the process. Take your time to think about everything and to find methods that fit for you.
You will get there.
Take care & stay safe <3
@Dimara Thank you so much xx
Any suggestions on where to find some long term support that doesn't include paying for a cousellor?
@MomUStoAU
You're so welcome!
Sadly enough I am a teen, so I can't chat with adults. But there are a lot of listeners here that offer long-term support. You can go to the Browse Listeners page and there is a filter 'Long Term Support'.
I think this link directly filters Listeners that offer long-term: https://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/?badge=&find=&sort=&ageGroup=&listType=&country=&category=&gender=&language=&acceptSponsees=on
I hope you find a great Listener who can support you during this journey! You can always update us in the forum or to find support by peers.
Welcome in this community!

@MomUStoAU у меня подобная ситуация.правда я сидел на мефедроне.и сейчас.когда остаюсь один,у меня дикое желание поехать и взять пару грамм.но,я,для себя вывел правило.что не стоит общаться ни с кем.кто связан с наркотиками.так легче перекумарить.и мыслей меньше в голове.не расстраивайся.ты молодец что осознала проблему.старайся не думать о наркотиках.
