Acceptance is the beginning - since you have accepted it then you are on your way.
seek professional help about it. don't go doing it alone.
And always remember you have a son who needs you.
He will inspire you to be strong get over this hurdle in your life.

If your little boy flesh and blood is not enough to make you want to stop i don't know what is. You don't need encouragement u need proper professional help to keep you on the straight and narrow. You will feel like crap- you will come down so heavy, is there anybody that could take your son off your hands for a few days? Cold turkey will be very intense and im not sure you can look after yourself let alone your son.
Sorry to sound morbid but thats me- i am to the point and you dont have to listen to my advice im sure there are others who have better advice for you. I am glad that you have taken the first step to recovery- it will be very hard though you just need some support. 6 months dependant is only just the beginning, withdrawing now is the best time that way u will recover more quickly
Good luck, Come back and tell us how you get on

Each and everyday is a challenge, always remember about your child and just what you wrote here. Look for professional help if possible, there has to be an agency out there that you can turn to. It has to be hard for sure but you have your senses and priorities and if drugs are it then there is nothing anyone can say to really help you! For you it is bite the bullet and well it sounds weird if you really want you son later to respect you then you will at least try. Even if it does not work this time try again and think positive. Think how proud your son will be later in life that he has a clean loving, FATHER???

you dont necessarily have to go cold turkey, there are substitute drugs that help to wean you off the harsher drug... Why did you get on it in the first place? I know that this is hard for you and your family, but you do have people who care for you regardless of what you have done. Think of your little boy, if you stay off it, you can help to rebuild your relationship with him. Please do not go back onto it, no matter how ill you feel or how low you feel...it's awful to see a parent whacked out on heroin. I once saw my dad collapse, bang his head on the bedside table and have a fit on the floor because of heroin...I would hate for your son to have to see something like that. I mean, you are only 25, you have your whole life ahead of you...you could do allsorts of things! You could get an education, get on a career path you want to be on and do it all for yourself and your son! Just think of how proud he will be of you! DONT GIVE UP GIRL!!!

Judging by the different questions you have asked regarding heroin.. I would like to know how you came to start using? Have you got a Mum that could help you.. a sister.. a friend.. somewhere you could stay till you get your mind around all this trouble.. hey, listen if not.. keep asking questions on here.. keep going.. listen to the answers.. the postive ones... and never ever let anyone convince you that drugs will make you forget.. they really dont....
love xx

Is there a counseling center in your town, where maybe you could talk to someone there? I would bet that there are others like you too, so maybe there is a support group or something like that. Sometimes it is hard to be strong on your own, but a group could help. Try the social services office in your town or county, they will know where to direct you. Doing this for yourself would be the best birthday present you could get, and it will help your son too.
Good Luck, and today is my birthday too! So all the best.
Be strong.

you should first have the determination to quit. Avoid your friends who use it for sometime but do not shut yourself away. If you cannot do it at home, go to a rehab center but not everything and every step they teach in rehab for people to follow shall help you quit. It is your determination that shall help you quit. Rehab will help you overcome the first effects of withdrawal and shall help you because you will not have access to the drug but after that you have to fight the urge. Dont shut yourself from other people who use it but the ultimate test is to be where the drug is and manage to fight the urge to just take it. Good luck. Fight the Urge and repress the monster.

Never give up hope. People have given up before you and they have stayed clean. Now could be the start of your life or the beginning of the end. Some people don't manage and they die - that doesn't have to be you. Good luck, it's never going to be easy but you can win this.

Happy Birthday!
Being lost - it's a funny thing! Isn't it? So, you didn't get issued a map at birth either?
