well its gonna be tough being as no one knows....like the others have said Id look into NA.....sadly I ended up going to jail before I could sober up(meth)....and even sadder is that Im afraid that even today (3.5 years later) if someone put it in front of me I couldnt turn it down...Id like to think I could but there is a BIG part of me that isnt so sure about it.......it scares me because I still think about it, I havent soght it out so I see that as a good sign but its still scary.....you might need to get away from the people who you use with, thye might be your friends but usually the people you use wiht are in just as bad as you & even IF they are REALLY your friends & not just a using buddy they cant help YOU ...YOU have to do it, its hard trust me I know, I tried to get away, tried to tell my "friends" I needed to quit & to please not bring it around but as soon as they were high they'd show up again....like i said I was trying as hard as I could to get away & then I ended up in jail......PLEASE get help...admitting it is a GREAT first step & often the hardest.....go to NA, talk to someone, tis is a VERY hard thing to do on your own you will NEED the support of people who truely love & care for you?
best of luck??
Rehab helps.
Consult a doctor, they might have an injection to decrease your cravings.
Why refuse to go to rehab? Get real with yourself, and quick!
it's all about willpower, and possibly changing the friends that your hanging out with. i am just curious of what drug it is?
rehab is all b.s, it makes it so you can still use the drug, and what is the point in that?
Just Do It

well if you wont go rehab, then you have to just ****** stop! it isnt that hard if its that important to you then you CAN and WILL stop. I did and i didnt go to rehab, i just quit it got to the point where i knew i had to and just did! you can do it..... i promise!
Just stop. it's not a DISEASE.... it's a choice you make every time you use.. try the website Rational Recovery.... you can stop on your own....
will power ,,,you have to want to stop ..go to Na narcotics anonamus(dunno how to spell it)
but yoou have to want to quit to be able to
good luck
well first step is admitting.
second, talk to a school counselor or to your doctor. in most states, a child can get treatment for drug abuse without their parent being informed or needing to approve the treatment.
you must consult someone because you will have a harder time doing it on your own.
good luck. you can do it!
find another outlet. try to make it a healthy one.
you know they did a test on two rats? separate cages. gave one an exercise wheel and the other some heroin every day.
they took the wheel and the heroin away after a while.
the rat missing his exercise wheel went through worse withdrawals than the drug-addicted one.
moral of the story? your brain produces the same endorphins whether your habit is healthy or not - and running is a great way to get them.
now go get your sh*t straight.
ahhh always hard to get over somethin you become reliant over....... At least You have admitted in, and honestly only you can help yourself, and u can only be helped if you really want it.... thats a fair call about rehab...... tryin gettin a hobby, or cutting down and when a Cravin comesacross you do somethin that takes your mind off everythin and relaxes you, whether it be music, swimming, punching a punchin bag, excersising i found that helped me.... this is only my opinion..... whether u take my advise is completely up to you....
It will take time, and u will become moody at times.... but in the long run youll be greatful you quit

Best of luck sweety
if you won't stop cold turkey & won't go to rehab i don't know how else your going to do it hun..I had some drug issues when I was younger and I went to rehab then started going to NA meeting, (narcotics annoyomus) the meetings really help, you hear stories from people who are older than you so you can see the effects drugs have on your life as you grow older. Drugs are a hard thing to quit, but in the end you'll feel a lot better. I've been drug free for years, and wouldn't think about going back to them. if you need to talk email me ;D
you don't have to go to rehab - it's a bit extreme. You can go to NA meetings (narcotics anonymous - anonymous is an important word!) - there are also meetings especially for young people and you will find a lot of kids in the same boat as you who are turning their lives around. Google them or check your phonebook and get a list of your local meetings - any AA, Alanon, NA group will have lists of meetings for all the groups. Good luck and well done - keep at it, be easy on yourself and take it one day at a time!
There has to be a DESIRE in you to change. You will not get over it by yourself, if you choose not to go to rehab there is another even better solution, but you are probably not going to accept what my answer is, however I won't tell you unless you asked me what it is.
Why do people do drugs anyways...sorry not helpful lol weelllll if u dont want rehab then stay away from the ppl who you take drugs with. if u dont take them with anyone, then spend more time being active so your mind is busy and away from your addiction. Keep a healthy diet, and do exercicse like normal. Keep a positive attitude and stop buying/dealing drugs! If you are busy and active you mind find that you stop craving for whatever drug you are addicted to. Patches and/or injections might help to stop this as well.
Think of all the bad things that will happen to you... And it will cost you too much money... This will ruin ur life...
The methadone clinic isn't so bad.(done it)Heroine was my poison
Hooked on coke too...will power (beat it)
Exercise does work too.It helped me!
Oh...you will have to get rid of your drug buddys too.
Believe me they will get rid of you once you go drug free.
start drinking
Little flower...You must go and allow yourself through the battery of procedures which are meant to snap you out of the bonds into which you have compromised yourself.
You must NOW depend on others who know more than you do about drugs. Their insidious but great power over those who They make their hostages, prisoners.
You are not in control, and yet you are asking for help. You yourself are alarmed, so that you are speaking of the situation.
Speak to your counselour, doctor, tell the exact truth to your situation, to your addiction.
IF he analyzes the situation, through experience and advisement, you must take his recommendations as valid. The you must go along with these.
Rehab, may just be, what you need. Rehab, Miss, is not what you may imagine it to be. That is only your fear of arduous work on your part to help you OUT an unhealthy situation.
We all succumb to that. We fear, are resistant to change, even when we know the change is for the good. On this side of change, before you allow it to begin taking place, you will resist it...if mostly because it announces that great changes must be decided upon by you, to help, save, you.
But believe me, even if change for the good, seems a task-master, it is a wise master.
You must give a try to what is wisely recommended to you which is aimed to help.
No one knows about the drugs???
Little Flower, we in this Forum now know. You have told us...because you must trust us enough to hear our opinion.
I am certain that no person of this forum would wish you harm. Not its' good people, not the caring, well-meaning, serious people here. And if you did not have trust in us, you would have held your situation from our knowledge. But you trust us. That is good!!!
I say you must speak to your counselour about rehab. Rehab, does not just help take you off drugs. It trains you to recognize, then follow another, a healthier lifestyle.
That is what you need.
The truth to your situation is bound to be known by those who you consider will think you stupid, at some point anyway.
And I don't think anyone will see you as stupid. If your parents, friends, do not understand your desperate situation, then you must confide this to your counselour. You may need help while confronting those in your life whom you'll need help from...become more understanding of what needs to be done...and of your welfare.
I think rehab, is something you must consider.
Speak to your counselour, openly, boldly...if she/he is not as helpful as you need, you must then seek for another.
But your situation is dire.
You must find the help needed to stop yourself, from what you are doing, Miss!
Take this seriously, take me seriously.
Take the people here who care sufficiently to offer you help, seriously.
Be of Courage, Miss...You need help. Allow yourself to receive THE HELP you need. Don't squander your time hiding. Act now, for the sake of your very self!
Your friend, grecia.
