Addiction

Hi I have a problems maybe someone's bin threw it before that's over came it that can give some helpful hints I have a meth,pills and drinking addiction I've bin clean 2 weeks from meth the drinking and pills i find easy to stay away from but the meth I keep coming back I was clean 5 months then fall off went got high 5 days stright no sleep doing tokes every 15 mins just asking if anyone knows the key to living a sober and drug free life I'm trying to change the best I can

 

A really close friend of mine has had a problem with drugs for a good 6-7 years of his life. He's currently been sober for over 9 months with support from his family and friends. I suggest you go to anonymous rehab classes. I agree with the phrase 'The Hardest Part of Addiction Recovery is Admitting Your Problem'. It's good to see that you've admitted you have a problem with drugs and seek help to overcome it. I hope you don't mind me asking but what State/City do you live in? (if US) I could try and help you find close clubs near you. http://www.smartrecovery.org/ is a useful website and I think it could help you.

 

Canada I was offered rehab for 21 days but I'm getting a new apartment might go after that but I'd rather kinda just try to do this on my own I'm thinking of just gaming hard til the cravings go away I have a worker and she said basically all I need to do is replace pills drinking and meth with other things more healthier things I may take up working out

 

I say just work with your case worker, and get your life back on track. Best of luck

 

I'd say go to rehab, it can change a person's life and how they look upon those addictions. I'd suggest looking for good rehab centers in your local area and see if you can continue being sober and turn your life upside down and start heading in the right track. Let us know how you're doing!

 

i'm not one for twelve step programs, that shit's just annoying.

honestly, if it weren't for probation and random drug tests, i'd probably get high every now and then, which would probably put me back at square one eventually. so i really don't have an answer to that.

the best advice i can give, is think about the future. that's how i get through my days. find a hobby, keep your mind off it, etc. if you have too much down time, you'll end up doing due to simply being bored.

when i got out of jail, that was the hardest part i've ever been faced with. knowing i could go bang 5 of dope, and it get me as high as a 20 used to. but i didn't, even tho i wasn't on prob at the time. and that hardest part was i couldn't get it off my mind. now that i stay busy on the computer, even though im on house, it's enough to keep me occupied and not think about it.

so basically, find a hobby, and stay focused on the future. its not worth it man. also, find some good artist, music always does the job for me as well.

 

Thanks guys ill do my best lol

 

Best of luck man. Just ask yourself if it's really worth it, and stay focused on the future and becoming successful.

 

Try doing something fun and you like to forget about it. If you can go to a rehab bro

 

To keep sober, socialize with your family and/or ask help from professional's.
A friend of mine was addicted to heroin for a few years. He went clean by simply this: Moving to another country/avoiding contact with people in the ''big'' cities.

I know it , some drugs are only a addiction to the human mind. Your body doesn't need it. You can live without it. Example: You can't live without water but you can live without drugs/alcohol and other stuff that's bad for your body. Imagine all the cool things you can do with the money you don't spend on that kind of stuff. It's better for everyone in the long run.

Life is made to be enjoyed without chemical stuff in your body.

Hope you stay clean man!

2 weeks is awesome! I hope you're still going strong!

If not, at least you have conquered step 1: wanting help and not feeling sorry for yourself. If you are still clean, that's wicked.

Find something else to keep your mind off it; mostly these things stem from boredom or lack of well, anything stimulating. Find a sport you like etc.
