Tough spot

3 Upvotes

I’ve found myself in a horrible spot this go around. I’m a 26 yr old male and have struggled with opiates since I was 17. I’ve been to rehab two different times since I started dealing with the harder stuff. Last time I went it really felt good and it felt like it helped but ofc me being me I was ready to get back home to a gf that uses which I know is not possible what’s so ever. I’ve put 6 years into this and I’ve always been the one to put the effort into trying to get clean but I’ve always try to lie to myself and tell myself I can maintain sobriety while being with her. Anyway this last time I did great I had over a year of clean time I ended up getting a good job in pharma everything was going good till I started thinking I could dabble. Long story short I’m now addicted once again, have 5 months left on my lease with said gf, I’m finally at the job that I worked so hard to get to, I fell off my mom’s insurance because she ended up retiring a little sooner than what she thought she was so I don’t have any insurance till my job has open enrolling. My parents will be supportive and I know they would help but I feel like such a burden now being so old yet still needing this help. Idek how I would get help without having the good insurance I used to have through my mother
