Quitting substances.

Strung out for days, being so high you literally dont know your name. Leaving home and coming home 2 weeks later broke and pennyless. Got fired and lost friends due to MY addiction and theirs and death. Most recently been binging on extacy, Ive done over 300pills in 8months(not joking). People say its not addictive im a walking contradiction.
Addictions ruined me in a sence from injurys to being a drop out. just wanted to know if anyones had similar situations or if they had suggestions.

Been there, done that, have the t-shirt lol

We make bad decisions in life sometimes and they have consequences. If you want to turn your life around you will. Anything can be addictive, if you have an addictive personality. Now that you recognize the problem, do something about it. Get into a program, stay away from people who indulge in that lifestyle, get yourself back on track because it is a quick road to nowhere, I have seen it too many times.

I have friends who are in the same boat as you, except they do not care enough to even admit they have a problem. One of my friends will be housing his own child in January and he is still not clean. He has been telling me for months that he will get sober and start doing right, but it has yet to happen.

All I ask of people who do drugs of any sort - is to look at what you're doing to the people around you. You don't even have to care about yourself, care about them.

i grew up with parents doing drugs around me till i was old enough to realized what they where doing. Still remember it. Or seein your dad so drunk hes like passed out in a closet.

which is kinda funny ahha

^ That doesn't mean you have to be like them! Why don't you prove to them your not like them! your better!? I did! *walking proof* Do something with your life! Get into rehabe or something to help ya out!? If you wanna talk to me about it I am here to listen! maybe I could coach ya threw it!? haha...i dunno! I just have alot of faith for people with bad backgrounds! because I know they can be better!

When you are damn good and ready to make a change, than do it, stop making excuses and put some action into it, because the only person that can help you is you!...there are many outlets and programs and support groups to help guide you on your journey, but if you're not willing to do the foot work and give 100% of your being than the hell with it stay miserable, this may sound harsh, but that's the reality of addiction, no magic fairy is gonna sprinkle dust on your head and make you better...it's up to you to change...if you want it bad enough you'll go to any length to get it....and i truly wish you well..and i hope you find your way sooner than later...good luck mister!!!!

Ive been there but the thing is im sober now and i wanna use.... i think its our society that provokes us because idk anyone who doesnt smoke or snoff or anything u know... i'm planning on miving over seas see where that takes me get away from the enviornment is def key because everything can trigger it

Feel free to tell me to piss of but....society has nothing to do with it, staying away from using people is difinitely a key, to stay clean you have to give up all of your "using" friends, and that's really hard to do, you have to find a new group of people to surround yourself that dont use, and that can get lonely at first, and as far as the the change in environment goes, it can go either way, one thing to keep in mind is that no matter where you go, like you said, you still wanna use, and no matter where you go it'll be there...my advice may not mean diddly squat, but i tried the change of venue, and my addiction increased 10 fold, and on the same note i've seen it work for other people, and yes i am a blabbering idiot, but i wasted nearly 10 years of my life suffering, and am now gratefully in recovery..i dont have answers, i only have suggestions....pm me, if you need any...

^^Too true

An addict always needs someone else to blame, so we will blame society for choices WE make. Maybe a change of venue will be helpful, but you still only quit if you want to, you can go anywhere in the world, if you still want to use you will.

I agree with the two posts above mine!
