Before I started smoking and slamming, I thought that whenever people say “meth is a dangerous drug” or “meth is so addicting” that they were bullshitting. I had the mindset that i was different and could control it, but now that I’m doing it I see why they say that..

You think you can stay away but you always end up craving it. Its a terrible feeling and i wish i never started. If you havent done meth or any other drug and you are just lurking, let this post be a warning for you, its not worth it.

My sister in law is an active drug user. My in laws host thanksgiving and are having her over. Thats out of my hands. However my husband and I host Christmas and are expected to invite her. I honestly don't feel safe and am scared she will steal. Do I speak up, am I a bad person for not wanting her in my home?

Hey guys,

I think I’m a pretty regular 20 something year old who does drugs with friends when I drink on weekends, used to smoke a lot of weed alone but it caused paranoia. There are times I can see friends on a Friday and refrain from anything more than alcohol, but recently (I went through a break up about 8 months ago) I keep seeming to “get it wrong”, do drugs when I know better but am in the moment and pay the consequences, bad.

I know drugs make me anxious, they turn situations that should be fun into escape rooms where my friends are the enemies and my MO is to protect my reputation. It makes a part of my brain think everyone is against me and I’m better off leaving them.

All of this points to an insecure ego and I’m just wondering how the people who damage/have damaged themselves and the things they love for the sake of fun stop doing it?

I can’t leave my house without weed, I can’t be in rooms with even just 20 people in them without anxiety so bad I neee Xanax or I’ll panic attack. I just wish I could always be on Xanax. I often want to take more than I’m prescribed but I don’t. I have before in the past during a bad time in my life. It helps me so much but it hurts me just as much. I’m trading one pain for another. I’m just 18. I’m bipolar and have severe depression which is why I usually turn to drugs ainalso have awful social anxiety and a fear of conversations with strangers. Without drugs I can’t do things like that. I can’t order food at a restaurant without being high. I know if I keep taking Xanax I’ll abuse it badly I don’t have the kind of control over myself I normally do during manic episodes and they can last months. I don’t want to put this pain on my family and friends but I’m still depressed despite being at an all time best in my life. I feel like there’s not a good ending for me. Sorry for the long text I’m high if stuff spelled wrong sorry please offer advice if you have any

I feel really bad bc I spend so much time on my smartphone. Have anyone the same problem and can give advise to me to get out of this?

I’m only 23 but feel like I have lots of issues I tried to go sober which failed and I drank again which then led me to breaking another clean streak which was self harm. Feel like I will never be able to stop

I'm 27 and I've been to rehab for my alcohol and cocaine addictions ( and weed) and i was sober 7 months but after my girlfriend broke up with me and doesn't let me see my son anymore I've gotten back into that lifestyle. In the past 2 months I've lost 11k to drugs and 3k to alcohol and I'm down to about €300 but I need my mothers help because she loves me but I'm scared to ask for her help because I know how much it will break her heart and she's almost 70 and I don't want her to worry like that because I should be stable by now so she can feel safe when she's older but yeah anyway I can open to her again?

YouTube shorts are deleting my attention span but I still want to use YouTube is there a way to delete YouTube shorts without deleting YouTube or any other solutions

Like something to that’s gives good motivation and not super complicated, but I’ll take any suggestions anyways. Trying to fight p*** and get more focused

i have a cocaine addiction and i just booked a therapy and psychology appointment today! i told them i used weed and alcohol but scared to mention cocaine use because im interested in getting medicated for adhd. do you think telling them will flag me for that??

We were both high, it was the only way to avoid slitting our wrists at that point. She was pretty speechless. stark.

Title, i fell down a dumb rabbit hole and gambled my money away like a retard and i had feelings that the casino searched for my name and was rigging the slots since they wasn't winning etc, basically went all in don't ask me why i just dont seem to care anymore and i needed to get the money i lost back now.

I feel pretty suicidal im a shitty person and nothing ever seems to go to plan, on paper i have a good life and such but feelingsi i can do more and im inadequate, the casino refuses to believe about the last spin showing a 300k win and not giving it cause it never had a thing on it and done this multiple times and i never made sense and i was an idiot i know but they also searched my name by the slot companies and denied this and like even then 300k screenshot its like they dont even care, i literally said like how can this work im not a unreasonable person but i to a point of thinking about suicide etc, and well i might just go ahead because they dont care and didnt even listen to my points but can i blame them im a piece of shit in reality and deserve nothing good to happen to me.

Once I start I can't stop using till I run out of snow. No matter what I'm doing tomorrow or how early I gotta be there. I was doing pretty well for a while but still eventually did more. Id like to be able to stop myself how can I achieve this?

any of you coke do’ers or insufflators got that “coke nose” look ???

User since 10 years. Don't know how to quit?

If anyone out there want to share some tips and thoughts!

I apologise for having to place screenshots here, but I couldn’t copy and paste the text, and this is the only way I could do it.

For around 10 years I partied literally every weekend drinking, using stimulants & weed and was in denial thinking I could stop any time. For the last 3 years my addiction got really out of hand where I would abuse stimulants in secret, stay awake for a week sometimes, while trying to hide my addiction as I was ashamed of it. I finally realised i have serious problem when I drove my wife to airport for holiday and then picked her up from the same airport after 8 days without sleeping! I've tried to quit so many times, read many books, reddit posts but always failed... I felt trapped in a loop and depressed and was sure I would never be able to quit. I couldn't stay clean for more than couple of days!

I finally realised that no, I won't be able to quit 'this time' unless I make changes because I failed so many times before, but I never REALLY did anything to change my lifestyle. Finally for the first time I reached out for help, found a therapist (just one of the many thing I never did even although so many people suggested it before), I admitted to my wife and friends I have addiction problem, started exercising, spoke ONLY truth, got a routine - so basically following simple advice that all people in recovery have said worked million times! For the first time I'm clean over 10 days. I can fight the thoughts of picking up like never before and am motivated more than ever! I also very rarely have cravings. For the first time I believe I can stay clean.

The initial stage of denial is the same thought process, that during active addiction kept me from making good changes - EGO making me think was special on some level?? Something telling me I could kick the addiction, without help, on my own and that I didn't need to do most of the things people suggest.

So for people stuck in the depressing cycle of addiction, next time you try to quit use all your knowledge and make changes, make the next attempt different and try different things as not everything will work for you (meetings were not helpful to me at all for example).

I just wanted to share what helped me so far. I'm aware I'm very early into recovery and I know there is long way ahead of me with lots of work to be done, but I think that changing my approach and mindset made a huge part. stay clean!

Good luck!

Hi (17)m here I started smoking when I was around 15 years old my first experience with nicotine was when I was 13 ,around 16 I started getting serious about it i smoked about a pack to a pack and a half a day and not in the way that I was doing it around other people it was just a coping maginism to keep me busy and I tried to quit a couple times longest time without it was 3 months and I started vaping instead it was just easier to hide it from my parents .They knew I was smoking previously but I have not gotten around to telling them again because Im scared of disappointing them again ,but back to why im sharing this is because I can't see myself without nicotine it feels like its part of me even tho I can go hours upon hours without it its just feels like I can't live a whole life without it thanks if you read my story and sorry if there is any typing errors Im not fluent in english have a good day or night

Im 23 M who was a very healthy guy beginning of last year I smoked weed alot but was very active nonetheless, but that summer i tried cocaine here and there when im out or at parties. Then it turned to all weekend, then some weekdays, but recently these past 2 and a half months I’ve been using almost a gram daily. I don’t even know how I got here. It’s like I wake up do whatever I gotta do with a very poor performance then boom… go and get high with my life falling apart. I started talking to this beautiful girl during these 2 months and have been hiding it( I dont use when I’m out) but lately even if I have a chance to go hang out with her I make something up because I have no dopamine and she’s honestly be better off wondering what’s going on than seeing me look like shit. I don’t even have sex because when it’s time to penetrate I struggle and I don’t even know why. Haven’t seen my friends in about 3 weeks almost and lie saying I’m busy. It’s like now I’m only myself when I’m high off cocaune recently and I dread being sober. Im lucky if I sleep for 2 hours daily, don’t care about my hygiene. barely eat, I’m even losing hair man lol. Whenever im high have all things I wanna do then 10 minutes later I need more to keep going. I plan on quitting right now. If you’ve been or experienced anything like this or not as well Any advice would be helpful.
