I have been pushed into using drugs again, by my “friends”.

I am not sure whether or not to keep them as friends if all their going to do is push me to do things I don’t want to do. I stopped doing everything for about a year and now I get pressured into it again. I am on probation and I can’t afford to fail a drug test. Can anyone give me advice on if I should get new friends or keep these ones, and how to get pot out of my system really fast without taking niacin.

I know you probably don’t like this kind of reply, but “You will make new friends”. Gah! I hate when I have to say, listen to, or do that! It takes forever, but if your current “friends” know that you have or had a problem with drugs and STILL pressured you into using, then you’ll have to drop them gently, and put yourself out there for new friends to meet you, and it’s definitely worth it.

I do like that reply, but im not sure how to do it. That still doesn’t help with the fact that I have a drug test coming up soon and Iam not sure if im going to pass it. My PO told me that if I mess up again it is going to stay on my permanent record.

First off, you need to take accountability for your actions. Your friends didn’t do ****! You decided to do the drugs regardless of peer pressures.

One thing I was taught in Narcotics Anonymous is that you have to get away from anyone who can influence you with drugs. You see you are too weak to use your own will apparently. There is nothing wrong with that as drugs have a habit of taking over a persons will.

Get off the drugs and stay away from your loser friends! Go make some new friends at a youthful NA meeting(s). I suggest you go to 90 meetings in 90 days, get a sponsor, and start working the 12 steps. And after all of that, you might even have a semi normal life, or even a great one! ~smiles~.

Good luck take care friend

Wow i kinda tink that OccultPizz said it all….except i tink that the only answer u really want is how to u won’t get caught in the drug test. I know nothing about drugs but i do know about friends…they convience u to do things that u don’t want sometimes for the better and more often for the worse. U know ur self u sud ditch them. If they were gud mates they wudda seen how long it took u to get off in the first place. And as for the drug test…as i already will admit again that i have no notion about drugs but i do know that both drink and drugs are deaniminated in the liver. So im guessing that if you go on a special detox for the liver it will help!! Ya can look it up on line…..or buy stuff in a health store…….really best of luck!!

It was not the peer presure that caused you to do drugs. you only do the drugs if you want to. they cant make you do something if you dont want to do it.you only do it to fit in the group.you need to let those friends go and get new ones. stay away from drugs. good luck my friend.

i think if they are going to pressure you and don’t understand that u are on probationa nd can go to jail then they really dont care about u. i would advise you to stay away from them until u get off unless they are the ones who got u into trouble then really stay away for good. the only way i know for pot is to dilut urself with water or drink alot of it or got to the grocery store and buy surgel its what u use to make jam and mix a half of bag w/ water a bottle of water and drink it pee 2 or 3 times then go take a drug screen it worked for me in drug court
