Ah, Spy 
. Do you have any offline support at all? A support group, a family member or friend you could call?
Don’t give up on yourself.

Dying is not going to help.
Get yourself help, get off the drugs
Another Efficacious Novena coming your way as soon as I am out of this concall. Ask your guardian angel to help.
And call somebody there!

People like to make fun of this painting and blaspheme, but it seems pretty straightforward and serious to me.
You do it to yourself, you’re doing it to Jesus too

Spyridon, you must get help. Call the VA, get a taxi to the emergency room, call NA, but do not stay home and use or be tempted to use again.
St. Michael the Archangel,
defend Spyridon in battle.
Be his defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou,
O Prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God,
thrust into hell Satan, and all the evil spirits,
who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.

I second all the previous posters stated. Go out for help, dear Spyridon. There are people who will help you with organising everything. It´s the devil of addiction holding you in your house. Remember, you are not lost.

This isn’t the end. There is still time to fix it. Go to the hospital and get some help. You need offline support.

Access to drugs won’t help and the Methadone hasn’t worked either. There’s gonna have to be a big change. Get help.

I agree. The drug use is a symptom of a larger problem. You have to get down to the root cause.Spyridon:

For my father it was PTSD from his time in the military. Once he started treating the PTSD he hadn’t even realized he had he has able to conquer addiction.

Don’t give up. You did it before, you can do it again. Find someone in person you can work with. As everyone else, praying for you.

You are a very loved member of this community. We’re all praying for you.
Please, as others have said, you need outside help right now.

This early in recovery there’s a lot of hanging on with grim determination even if you can remove yourself from the immediate presence of drugs. I suggest you participate in NA meetings at least once a day (more when possible), daily contact with your sponsor and all of the other members you have on your phone list (if you don’t have them, GET THEM) and daily step work.
Don’t be afraid to open up about this at meetings - you’re not the first or last. My 31 year anniversary was two days ago, and I can assure you that, if you hang on tight to the program and don’t use no matter what, eventually this will pass. I have friends in the program who weren’t born the last time I really wanted to use. Remember: don’t quit before the miracle happens.
EDIT: Sorry to see you relapsed. Pick yourself up, call your sponsor and get to a meeting right away. And although I’m not a physician I also suggest that DRT isn’t really supposed to be a long term solution, but merely a way to taper off over a limited peiod of time. Have a serious chat with your doctor, but my recollection is that six months is the max. Someone else observed the truth that the drug use is merely a symptom of a deeper problem, but the continuing presence of narcotics in your system will hamper your ability to work on the real issue.

Dump the drugs and alcohol down the toilet. Find a bed in a detox. Get your a** to an AA meeting. Do not waste your life with an NA meeting where relapse is more commonplace and accepted. If you couldn’t find a bed, go to the emergency room and do not take no for an answer.
At the detox, tell them you want to get off all drugs and alcohol including the methadone. As long as you are taking methadone, you are a relapse waiting to happen. While detoxing, find a bed at a rehab. Stay as long as you can. While there, take the cotten out of your ears and stick it in your mouth.
The next year is going to be very rough, but it will give you a genuine opportunity to have a good life. I’ve interacted with dopesick people, and it looks awful. However many of them have managed to carve out decent lives. Their key was getting completely clean, no methadone, and following a program.
When you leave the rehab, look for a halfway house or a sober house. You need time away from your family to get your head clear. That way you will be able to return as the man God intends for you to be.

While I’m sure this advice is meant well, Spyridon’s wife is ill and needs drugs, and he is caring for her, so it may be difficult for him to just ditch out on sick wife unless he can find another caregiver for her, and if she needs medication long-term he may not be able to avoid it forever.
Also, it’s inappropriate to tell someone in a methadone program that they need to get off it. I realize that the programs are controversial and there’s a variety of views on them, but being on a methadone program or not is both a personal decision and a medical decision of the person. To tell them they need to get off methadone is essentially medical advice that we should not give on here.

No one said it is going to be easy, but Syridon does need to get help. His wife is sick, but so is he. His access to her drugs is a real problem.
As stated by several people, the root cause needs to be found and dealt with or he will never achieve permanent sobriety. Drugs of any kind start as a way to avoid reality. Getting clean and free of every drug is the goal, but the addict has to come to terms with why they needed to escape to an altered state to begin with.
I do not believe that most people can do this without professional help, and that is what I pray Spyridon gets.
