Stuck in a rut

I’m finding it difficult to break from my drugs and drinking. I seem to be constantly drunk or high and don’t know how to gain self control. I’m losing my friends as i’m always too drunk and constantly making a fool of myself. Everyone is laughing but no one is helping I drink when i’m alone and use speed, cannabis, acid and anything i can get my hands on to try and make things better. i don’t know what to do and things are getting out of control.

You need to find something that you love to do. As cliche as it sounds, something that you love to, that doesn’t involve some kind of substance abuse, will direct your attention away from those helpless drugs.

Well knowing you have a problem is the first step towards changing it. A 1000 mile walk begins with one step. (Chinesse Proverb) I suggest calling a drug counselor, or your local Mental Health Facility, get admitted if you have to. Drugs are addicting…I know. And when you get so far down, you may just need a helping hand to pull you back up. Life on drugs is like living in a dumpster on a dead end street…it takes you no where. Please, for your sake, get help. Lest you become what you hate.

when i knew i had to kick an addiction, i moved in with my “clean” good friend to a totally new town hours away from the people who shared my addiction. dan12333 is right,, we traveled and camped, etc. did lots to keep busy .

it is easier if you get away from the things or people that trigger the need to use. and even better if you have a supportive person that is serious about helping you.
