Overcoming Drug Addiction?
Question by Brittney: overcoming drug addiction?
[rewrite]ok so i’m finally going to admit it.
i’m going to come out and say something that i’ve been lying to myself about since the moment i touched the stuff.. i’m addicted to meth.
my first time trying it i smoked it with my friend who was also new to it all.
it was amazing. i thought hmm this is fun, maybe i’ll do this with her sometimes.
wait no, i should do this with her everyday. it’s not so bad as people make it out to be, i feel great and we’ll lose so much weight!!!
HA little did i know i’d be losing much much more than just weight.
it IS as bad as people make it out to be. in fact, it’s worse.
i could have never imagined the next 7 months of my life looking the way it did
i began finding any excuse, any way to hang out with my friend because she was the one that would buy the stuff.. she had the connect
then it turned into me stealing her dealers number out of her phone so i could get my own
then l began hanging out with tweakers, finding my own connects
yet still, all that time i managed to say “oh yeah, i can stop whenever. i just don’t want to yet.”
i would buy a sac and not feel the need to use it until i was going to a party or hanging out with friends or something that i wanted the energy and rush for.
now it’s gotten to the point where i can’t sit in the same room with some meth without doing line after line until it is gone.
i don’t know where to go from here.
i know the obvious… i need to stop.
i know the obvious solution, get help.
and you all know the obvious, it’s not that easy.
is there anything i can do… some way to convince and assure myself that this MUST be done?
like, idk, i just keep telling myself it’s ok for now and i don’t know how to push myself over that line to actually delete my contacts, seperate myself from this lifestyle and get help
