hello everyone :)I am having a hard time dealing with a horrable drug addiction to heroin. I never thought it would be like this for me. I thought that i was strong enough & smart enough to allow anything to take over my mind..which is true but heroin obviously isnt in the mind.. I am 5 months pregnant come to find out when I was arrested in october on the 23rd and released on the 29th (caught with 6 bags of heroin, hypodermic tool & resisting arrest) I was in the holding cell 2 days throwing up before I could even see a judge..sent to the hospital where they made me aware of my pregnancy!!!I was shocked b/c I am use to the fact that I wont get a period for 1-3 moths at a time , normally getting a period every 45-60 days -this has been a "normal" cycle for me since age 12 when i got my first period. Then I had gotten the depo shot over the summer in june i believe so I when i had no period ..i wasnt missing anything ya know..i wasnt showing or feeling anything either I had thought that I was gaining weight because I stoped using drugs!!! The last period i had was on memorial day i remmeber that very clearly!! so ..yeah i wasnt using when i got pregnant! had i known i would have never started again! it makes me so sad too. well i started using again in July/ August due to depression. I was stressed out with all of my court dates and personal relationships ..it seems like i have no support until im having a crisis or i am dying... then everyone is there for me. My mother has absolutly NO CLUE as to what I am going through and is basically the only Family support I have. her email address is JJGC520@aol.com. I am asking that if there is anyone out there with simmilar issues and in our area (Islip NY 11751- we live by Islip high School, Main ST.) who may be able to help my mother , JoAnn, to help support me & to make her more aware of what I am going through & how to handle this, I would greatly appreciate some support with this. and if there is anyone out there who knows what I am in for as far as heading into a long term (12-14months) treatment center in ronkonkoma, I could use some insight on this program as well. Im packing tonight and I dont know what to pack lol!! what can i bring...not bring? I am looking for links on this website..havent found a link yet but if you do first please email it to me :) [[motiv8dprincess7@aol.com]] thanks in advance for any assistance you all may bring. Happy Holidays everyone :)

about the methadone program..they say that I cannot quit using until after my pregnancy is over because it is a very high risk to the baby to go through withdrawels while pregnant. so they have me going to a methadone program.

My name is Amber I live in baltimore,md. I've been off herion and crack for 2 yrs now. My story is kinda like yours. I went to the hospital to detox and found out I was 3 months pregnant, that did not stop me from getting high. At this time I was on the run from the police for armed robbery and some others. Finally I got caught I was mad then but now that was the best day of my life. I got sentenced to 3 yrs and dropped to 18 months I stayed in jail intill I was 8 months pregnant and sent to a rehab for mother and children. I loved that place. Now Im 22 years old I have at beatiful healthy 2 yr old boy and 3 months pregnant with my second and getting married this summer and about 2 months we are buying a house. Dont get me wrong I think about getting high all the time and then I look at my son and say never again I will not put my son through this. Getting off drugs is very hard. It is very helpful to have support from your family. but getting high is up to you, Your not going to stop till your ready please if you need anything write me back I'm sure I've been there done that
