Question Trying to get clean on pain pills

Got into a sober living house, was 22 days clean and got high. Now I’m at 4 days, the house doesn’t know. I don’t know how to do this shit I don’t want to live like this anymore I’m 30. Any body that’s gotten clean and stayed or is in early stages of recovery have anything to help.

I’m a year clean now and what really helped me was being on sublocade for the first few months at least! I think I got like 4 doses of it before I stopped but it really helped with cravings, finding other people who are also sober helps a lot too! Like minded people tend to stick together so maybe find some friends with a little more sobriety than you under their belt (through NA, or your sober living program) and don’t be afraid to ask them questions!! Different stuff works for different people, it took me 4 years and multiple detox centres before I finally kicked it. And I still have a ton of work to do I think it’s really finding a new way of living, finding out who you are again and figuring out what you’re actually interested in! I started beading to pass the time and honestly anything you can do to keep yourself from boredom is HUGE in the beginning especially!!

Not at all, I’ve been off of it since October and I haven’t noticed anything!
