drugs and alcohol are often abused at times like the one you are going through... i take it you know the show the OC, because your nick name on y! answers used to be "i love rian atwood" so... but anyway, in the OC, marissa abuses alcohol and it gets really annoying when you watch her drink...this is probably what it is like for your friends who do not approove of drugs when they watch you... try to find someone to talk to, a psycologist, school counceler, or just a friend and have a nice long complein!! anyone feels a bit better after they let a bit of the pain out!!! try hard to just stop doing drugs, drinking and having sex!!! don't think of it as quitting because that makes it harder, think of it as if you were just sick of that and are giving it up!!!
whatever you do!!!! please stop living the life of depression you are living, eat yummy candy if you think it will help you quit...and since you are turning 18 soon, i would advise you to buy a packet of those nicotine chewing gums, those will help you quit...and as for the sex, do it less frequently and with protection!!!!!
good luck!!!!
hope things turn out ok!!!
ps: it will be hard, but you gotta "keep holding on", and not throw your life away!!
pps: happy birthday in advance!!!! =D
Quit now that you are ahead you don't sound like a drug addict yet but if you keep up with this behavior and dont get you sh!t straight you will end up one think about your mother and your future......If you want or need any kind of advice or help send me an e-mail.
The best advice I can give is to stop drinking, smoking, doing drugs, and having sex. Just completely stop now.
You need to find someone to talk to, like a therapist. You might need to go on antidepressants.
stop associating yourself with people who do those kinds of things. your willpower will be the only thing to help you quit this destructive behavior. Why weren't you thinkin about your mom and her illness before being dumb and deciding drugs is the answer.
you have to tell your mom and go to rehab. i understand you are afraid of your mom finding out and her having to deal with the your addiction but it'll be even worse if you dont go to rehab and die. then how do think your mom will feel? ~its the honest truth and your to scared to face th facts o well
first of all if you have any friends that are old enough to buy a nicotine removeal patch from a pharmacy they should buy it for you. i would tell a Relative that you can trust, sit them down, and make them promise not to tell anyone else, they will inderstand. The best solution is not to keep this hidden
IT WILL GET WORSE OTHERWISE
You have to try to stop
Fill up on twizlers, adn prtend like you are smoking and then you be eatin a twizler instead.
Talk to your friends and make them not offer you anymore got it
Really stop now...I had a friend that smoked weed every weekend for about 3 months, when he tried to quit he had so many sezures in his room trying to keep it a secret, his body just went into a coma and finnally he passed about 2 weeks later...
Is there a counselor at your school that you can talk to? That's what they are there for and they are required by law to keep what you say in confidence, They cant tell your parents. It may help to have someone else to talk to just to get everything out. I've been in your situation but didnt have someone to talk to. Hope you feel better!
hi,, you dont give your age though its not all that important, i was/am an acoholic and was by the time i was 16,, thats a story for another day:) ,,if you have the presence of mind to just cut it all out then do so and problem solved,, have to find some new friends to pal around w/ and something you care about or want to do to occupy your time, if you find you just cant give up the life but want to then you'll need some one more than you will find on this site to help,,there's places on the web and in your local phone book that will point you in a postive direction w/ f2f human connection,,, best to you and good luck,, i sign this ,,, sincerely PBJ
You sound more like a drug abuser, not necessarily an addict. If you can quit without physical distress (the sign of a true addict) you'll be fine. JUST STOP and see how it goes.
P.S., lots of people use drugs and alcohol as an emotional crutch during times of crisis. That doesn't mean there's anything wrong with you; please go talk to a school counselor, friend, clergyperson, or even a trusted teacher. Sometimes it helps to just have a shoulder to lean on.
Good luck to you, darlin', and may God bless you.
First of all you need to stop hanging around the people you do drugs with. Find friends who are drug free! Find out what triggers you to do them. Then avoid that. Go to meetings for people your age like AA(alcoholics anonymous) or NA (narcotics anonymous). You can find info on line for meetings in your area. Dont give up! You can overcome this!
