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

Anybody That’s Been Threw Abuse? How Do You Get Over the Aftermath.?
Question by Julii: Anybody that’s been threw abuse? How do you get over the aftermath.?
[rewrite]My now ex and i have been together a couple of years and we have a 13 month old son. He started pushing me around and pinning me to the bed and putting his hands on my neck since i was 5 months pregnant. It would stop for a little while and then start back up again. I somehow managed to convince myself that my son needed the both of us around, and that he would change. I begged him to get help and finally it got to be to much. I kicked him out and he refused to leave so i tried to call the police and he snatched the phone from me and threw it against the wall. Then he threw me on the bed and put his hands on my neck and pushed. I could still catch some breaths, but the whole time this was happening my son was right next to me terrified. I know my ex grew up around violence, and i cant help but feel sorry for him. At the same time im so angry. I guess what my question is, how can i get over this roller-coaster of emotions, why do i still feel sorry for him, and will the loneliness ever go away?
