How do I move on from a heroin addiction?
I am 53 days clean today after a 2 year heroin addiction. I have tried to get clean so many times in the past and have never made it past a week or so. I am now in an intensive outpatient 5 days a week, and attend NA regularly. I have also suffered from depression for the past 10 years. Now that I am off heroin, I can't explain the depressed, down, sad, lonely, and confused feelings I have. No matter what I do right now, I cannot get using off my mind. It haunts my dreams, I have extremely vivid using dreams, to the point where I wake up and feel like I'm in physical withdrawal again. I am wondering how long I have to feel so ashamed and sad, and wondering how long I have to live with this addiction haunting me and remaining so strongly in the forefront of my mind. I try and stay distracted I read, I play with my kids, I play video games, anything at all to distract myself but the second I stop whatever I'm doing I feel the addiction pulling and dragging me down so far that I can't help but wonder if I'll ever feel okay again. I never feel okay. I am lonely as my clean friends from before my addiction swore me off long ago, and my using friends I don't talk to or associate with anymore. I don't know how to get past this and I am asking for anyone's experience or advice. Serious answers only please.

My daughter has had a heroin addiction for several years. What more can I do? Serious only this is life/death?
My daughter is in her mid 20's. She has had little clean time over the last 4 years. She has been through rehab centers and jail. She is now a convicted felon. But I received information from a trusted person she does not live with me that she " has one foot in the grave." She looks horrible, expensive daily for H, so she is prostituting daily. Therefore, I called her local crisis center to try and force green warrant her into treatment. But I was not getting much help. So, I called the police who promptly told me if she did not answer the motel door where she is living there was nothing he could do. But, they agreed to check her out, and if there were were drugs in sight, etc she would be arrested. I love my daughter so I would rather she be alive and in jail. A little later my daughter calls me screaming wanting to know why I called the police. I understand her addiction, which seems to have spurs, so I told her because I love her. She told me " now you will never know where I am again" and hung up on me. I am at a lost for help. She has no health insurance and because she is a felon she is limited to assistance.

Anyone heard of treating heroin addiction and depression with marijuana?
I am looking for websites or articles that talk about this issue. This is a serious question and I would really appreciate serious answers. I know that marijuana has medicinal uses and that both depression and heroin addiction are treated with pharmaceutical drugs which can sometimes be just as harmful. The person is already off of the heroin and has gone through the withdrawals. The doctors put them on a medication combination that has caused them even worse depression. I understand that marijuana is more natural but a lot of people think it too is addictive...then again some people don't. I'm wondering if any research has been done on the issue. Thanks.
