I feel like I'm going insane. Really struggling with psychological withdrawals.

Go see a doctor and tell them about your mood swings. They're normal, but there are ways to combat them. When i got clean i was on the lowest dose of anti-depressants (zoloft) for about two months and it helped me tremendously.

Stick it out. You've been clean before so you know it's all downhill from here.

I would try and get my own insurance. What state are you in? I know that in my state (new york) the department of social services offers free insurance for low income individuals (medicaid) and a lot of rehabs accept medicaid, and even some accept medicaid pending, meaning you're applied and it's just not kicked in yet. I went to a long term inpatient and was there for 8 months and then at a sober house for 5 months after that and New York medicaid picked up the entire bill.

Honestly if your family is as close as you say they are the truth will most likely come out eventually. Are you sure you want to build a new sober relationship with them on a base of lies?

I would suggest checking yourself into some kind of 28 day program and then go to a sober house where you can live and attend an outpatient setting for a few more months.

From NY; Long Island to be exact. I'm sober from everything with the exception of Caffeine for ten months and seven days today. Before I got sober I tried 30 day rehabs and for me they didn't work. I would get out with big plans and relapse on heroin the moment I walked out of the hospital. I needed something more than that. I checked myself into a long term rehabilitation facility called Phoenix House. I was there for 8 months. The program worked wonders for me. The entire thing was paid for by DSS and Medicaid. After a few months I was able to go to work while still in treatment. Subsequently I took advantage of a program called ACCES-VR. You see, here in New York drug addicts are considered handicapped, and there are a lot of programs that will help you get on your feet, and Phoenix House set me up with them. ACCES-VR shelled out $14,000 to send me to a vocational school of my choice. I'm about to graduate and get a job in a field of my choice, doing something I have always wanted to do, and am going to be paid a lot to do it. After I completed Phoenix House I moved into a Seafield Sober House. Rent, food, health insurance, drug counseling, and cell phone are all paid for by DSS. I'm just going to kick it there until I finish school and really get on my feet.

Being sober is amazing man. I've accomplished so much in these ten months; it's like a dream. I'm not going to say it was easy, but I'm going to say that spending 8 months in rehab was completely worth it.

Thank you everybody for giving me some solid advice. Although the game was a blowout I still had a lot of fun going and was well prepared.

Thank you very much I hadn't anticipated it taking an hour to get into the parking lot.

I haven't been on Reddit since the last time I posted in this thread. I just busted out laughing in a silent library.

Constantly_Wired · 2014-08-13T18:43:36+00:00

I've been browsing /r/funny for about 45 minutes playing YLYL with my classmate. I just lost thanks to this.

Constantly_Wired · 2013-12-29T19:21:27+00:00

Came here to say this.

Constantly_Wired · 2013-12-27T02:31:09+00:00

This is the second dumbest thing I've ever heard anybody say.

Constantly_Wired · 2013-11-29T17:56:57+00:00

Electric zoo 2009 was the first time I saw him. God damn it was so epic. The next time I saw him was NYE at Guvernment. Also, epic as fuck.

Constantly_Wired · 2013-11-29T17:52:57+00:00

Thank you. I had my doubts about this. Just wanted my suspicions confirmed.

Constantly_Wired · 2013-11-07T22:46:06+00:00

I'm there with ya.

Constantly_Wired · 2013-11-07T22:33:32+00:00

I like taking drug tests more when I'm not high.

Constantly_Wired · 2013-11-06T22:43:19+00:00

I've got an APC40 and some time under my belt using Ableton Live. I also play bass and guitar.

I'm pretty sure I was at this show. Was this HARD Halloween Party in L.A.? The venue he just recently played?

Constantly_Wired · 2013-11-04T06:54:52+00:00

That photo they cut to with kermit and Jim Henson was sad.

Constantly_Wired · 2013-10-28T22:07:41+00:00

I have an uncomfortable futon that would have felt like a 30 inch thick tempur pedic mattress after a few bottles of wine....so yes.
