Trying to get clean tomorrow – looking for advice/support
Hey everyone,
I’ve been using on and off for about 5 years (IV heroin + smoking meth), and I’ve finally reached the point where I’m done. Tomorrow is my last day using, and I’ll be starting on bupe strips.
I’m not gonna lie, I’m scared. I’ve tried to quit before and always ended up slipping back, especially once the cravings and boredom hit. This time feels different mentally, but I know that doesn’t magically make it easy.
I’m looking for any advice from people who’ve been through this—especially:
• What helped you get through the first few days/weeks?
• How did you deal with cravings and triggers?
• Any tips for starting bupe (timing, what to expect, etc.)?
• What helped you actually stay clean long-term?
I don’t really have a strong support system in real life, so I figured I’d reach out here instead of trying to do this completely alone.
I’m tired of this life and what it’s doing to me, and I really want this to be the time I stick with recovery.
Any advice, encouragement, or even just hearing your experience would mean a lot.
Thanks for reading 🩷
