My son was a herion addict and unfortunately is no longer on the earth, he did not commit suicide but doing herion lead to the road of him leaving.   Me and his sister have hurt so much because of this.   I myself went into a deep depression and did everything, and nothing worked, now I just pray and trust God that he will help me, he is helping me and I thank him every day for what I do have, my eyes, my legs, things like that.  It starts to work.   That is the only way to heal your broken soul and start to feel the holy spirit back in you.  Don t feel guilty, God loves you the way you are, forgives all your sins.    I wish I knew of someone else who could help you with draw but in the end all we have is Jesus who died for our sins, and he promised to care for us and does not lie.  Pray every day and thank him every day, even though you don&#039;t feel like it.   Try and make it through, Herion is bad but God is stronger.   I know you will make it if you just trust Jesus and believe with all your heart that he will heal you of your addiction.   Don&#039;t give up, Don&#039;t hope, just BELIEVE.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Zoe, do not kill yourself.

isPermaLink="false">http://www.spiritualriver.com/?p=368#comment-132971</guid> <description>I have been addicted to heroin for 4 years now (on and off.) I feel hopeless. I have tried everything. Methadone, suboxone, detox, rehab, halfway houses, outpatient, AA, NA, you name it, I&#039;ve done it. Why can&#039;t I stay sober? I want to be sober so bad it hurts. Every part of my body aches for sobriety. I hate myself, and I hate this personal hell that I&#039;ve created. I feel like I am sinking deeper and deeper every day.
The only problem is, is that I&#039;m really good at hiding it. I&#039;m only 21 years old, I&#039;m a college student with a 3.8 GPA and really good part-time job. I come off as a &#039; functioning addict&#039; but inside I am broken. I wish there was a pill for this, a miracle &#039;cure-all.&#039;
I need help. I contemplate suicide every day, and I use in amounts that very well could kill me, but, alas, they don&#039;t. I&#039;m so young. I can be somebody - I can do something with my life, I know I can. I just need to kick this awful habit. I have the gift of desperation. I&#039;m willing to try anything at this point.
Somebody, anybody, if you&#039;re out there, please get back to me and let me know there&#039;s hope. I&#039;m a broken soul just waiting to be fixed.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have been addicted to heroin for 4 years now (on and off.) I feel hopeless. I have tried everything.
