I come from a long line of alcoholics... I don't have any problems with substance abuse but I have been to rehab for anorexia/bulimia. The causes of eating disorders is actually very similar to the causes of substance addiction. I'm addicted to the high I get off of throwing up and being hungry. Here's a little bit of advice. Don't share "war stories" Alot of people who suffer from addiction compete to be sicker than everyone else so war stories can be triggering. It may encourage people to destroy themselves more. Anyways good luck and don't give up. The best things in life are the hardest to get so keep working and keep your head up. If you fall back one step.... you have 2 to take forward
yeah i come from a long line of addictive personalitlies, I must say I think alot of it has rubbed off on me but I fight it off. The only drug I really do consistently is marijuana. And if you get addicted to that you're a twat
Painkillers had me for a long time in my teen years. I cannot even remember almost my entire junior year of high school because I was over-prescribed a bunch of meds. I used to put anything in my body, now I stick to organics. cocaine is the devil's drug, in my experience. it has turned many friends into zombies of hate and it haunts me to this day.
I come from a long line of alcoholics....I got pulled over 2 years ago adn blew a .071....thats right under the legal limit and got charged with a DUI. It was a big festival weekend and the cop just pulled me over for no reason, my seatbelt wasnt on, when it was. They found a bud...Ended up dropping the marijuana charge and giving me a negligent. Anyway I am back in my home area and I had got in some trouble when I was younger. The judge wants me to get a treatment evaluation, well the city is holding my family and childhood against me. We'll see what happenes, know within 10 days
i just finished a really intense probation, i was drug tested 2 times a week, had a group and individual treatment, and had to go to 2 NA/AA meetings a week. It really sucked the whole time because i fought it the whole way. Addiction is hard when you`re trying to get sober and stay sober. i wont lie. its probly the toughest thing you`ll ever go through. just keep your head up and realize that the grass is greener on the other side. if you are trying to stay clean i suggest you do it when you`re really ready, or atleast think you might be. i say this because i see a lot of people not get far on the road to recovery because of no desire to atleast try. desire and strength will take you far. I also suggest going to NA/AA meetings to help with the support part of getting sober.having people there to talk with will save your life. Also, if some days it feels like you`re angry all the time its usually because you are being angry,its a natural way your brain deals with working without the help of drugs. Take every day slow and dont live too far in the future. Hope this shed a light on something that was once dark. good luck!
