How to handle my relationship while clean

...See more So I'm working on recovery from hard drug addiction. Today's about my 4th day clean after a 5 year addiction. (its progress) I'm 21 and they guy I'm seeing is 27. (He doesn't use, so he doesn't understand how hard it can be to recover) I've been with him around 5 months or so? I've never actually had a relationship without being on some sort of substances threw out it. And come to think of it, I've never even done physicall aspect of a realtionship while sober either. (Make out, ECT..) I've had an issue of being in a troubling situation where things got out of my control, so I've always been on the semi-prude end, until being extremely comfortable with someone and even then sometimes I can't cope. Since im not using in order to repress and numb myself, I'm worried that ill push my boyfriend away, or that I won't be able to handle certain situations in the relationship. So basically I was wondering if anyone had any advice on how I can handle my relationship sober? Thank you! xoxo

...See more Trigger WARNING .. (possibly?) I once read somewhere that it could take a heroin addict 8-12 times of actually getting clean to be able to get sober.. If that's true, then im almost there. Only thing is im hoping attempt 7 allows me to step threw the sober door. Background - I've been using both herion and meth since age 16. I'm now freshly 21. .. Herion is my DOC. -Currently im withdrawing from meth and heroin. Feel like slitting my wrist, but it's a pain to move. (Not sarcastic) Tip: (would NOT recommend) Replacing one addiction with another (ha) : I had the bright idea a while ago that if I replaced my physical addiction (herion) with a mostly physoclogical one (cocaine, weed, meth, ext), i would have a better chance at staying away from heroin. So attempted to do so.. Only thing is, that my mind isn't that strong. (Addict thinking, because I was already addicted to uppers..bleh) ... (Took forever to find motivation to write this).. Long story short, day 3 of withdrawl. I feel more confident than I ever have that I'll be able to come out sober this time. And I hope anyone struggling with addiction, finds the strength they need..... "One day at a time"... Right?
