It is very difficult. But if you are determined, and you stick with it, you can do it. Recognizing you have a problem and seeking help is the best sign that you'll make it. Take full advantage of the therapy offered. Find out why you have addictions. Get to the root of the problem. Best of luck to you.

Sounds like you have a good chance of recovery. You were in a dysfunctional relationship that may have led to meth use for escape or your meth use scrambled the selection of a life partner. Either way, you have suffered. Hopefully the detox center can help you. Talk to a social worker and deal with your ex-partner to be (I hope). See if your social worker can get you into a rehab program where, housing, education and work are all in a group so you can feel like a productive member of society, again. Here's hoping the best of luck to you.
