"My life is getting better and better"

I was on Methadone but it didn't really help. Because I knew I would still use Heroin, I did. I switched to Buprenorphine, I was lucky, I went and stayed with a friend who doesn't use and she supported me while I detoxed to get on it. I then switched to Buvidal which has been life changing for me. I haven't used Heroin since starting Buvidal.

I've been so lucky, my keyworker has supported me so much, signposted me to the right services and generally been there for me. Learning to love without Heroin is hard, being present in life after so many years of being numb can be challenging but it's so worth it.  

My life is getting better and better, I'm getting on with my family, re building relationships with my sibling, my parents and making new friends. I'm very grateful to everyone in the service, particularly Lewis.
