Do i have a drug problem?

Question

I really can't tell if this is a problem.

But at the moment things are rubbish, my relationships with friends are getting worse and all i can do is cry, i just feel depressed.

When ever i go out (3 -5) times a week i drink a h**l of a lot and do a lot of different drugs (e.g ket, pills), i can't have much fun without drinking or other stuff.

And now I'm sober at home with nothing to do and it's rubbish.......

Answer 1

depends on your age I think.  21-25, maybe excessive partying, but you can recover.  30-35, you are digging yourself a hole already and seeing some of the effects.  40 and above, you are pretty much a loser with a lot of problems.

Answer 2

well, yes you do but, there's help out there you just got to want the help before it will do any good trust me i've been down that road with my dad before i know what's it like. but if you step up and realize that you have a problem, that's your first step. then go find the help at any rehab place there everywhere just look. but if you don't think that you got a problem then the treatment ain't going to do you no go. cause as soon as you get out your going to go right back where you was at doing the stuff all over again. and you be ding all that work for nothing. but just step up and go get the help. trust me you're feel a whole lot better after you get out. you're feel like a new person.  

Answer 3

Well, you kind of sound like I did about a year and a half ago. I had a drug problem and I knew I did when all that started to matter to me was the drug I was addicted too. I mean sure, other things mattered to me too but the differance was that I couldn't do those things without needing to get high first. The more depressed I felt, the more I wanted to do the drug. I also minded being sober. I didn't want to be sober.

It still sounds like you have a problem although it sounds like there is still room to get worse. Just get help now. Check into a clinic just to talk about things that I driving you to cry and be depressed. Good luck  

Answer 4

You have a problem with depression.

You are hurting, bad, so you try to mask the pain with drugs/alcohol.

So, I would say treat the underlying reason that you go out and drink and take drugs for, which I would guess as being depression.

Try seeing a psychologist.

Answer 5

yes you have a problem but just think a lot of us have had problems like that but overcame them and now we are drug free. so you can do with out them like we have ( for those of us who have used drugs). .  

Answer 6

i am no drug therapist but it does sound like you have a drug issue.  i would go back to before you started drinking and doing drugs and think of all the things that you used to love doing.  i know that it may be hard to get back into those things at first but it is a good place to start.  if that does not work i would consider going to a counselor.  i as your self have also had a problem.  it is hard i know what you are going through.  talking to someone really helped me out.  they put me on an anti depressant which made me feel A LOT better.  i was able to do more things and build better relationships.  i know that if you are feeling like you are empty and sad you know that you want better for yourself.  i know longer drink and my life is better.  i got married and now i have a beautiful baby girl.  if i did not stop i would not have that. there are so many people who would love to help you all you have to do is ask.  i hope that this helps you out.  i will keep you in my prayers!! good luck

Answer 7

You have a LIFE problem and a Drug and alcohol problem. You need to seek professional counseling, and get your life together.

Being sober is wonderful, when you get your head out of the shadows. If your life is " rubbish" , recycle it. Everyone's junk is someone's treasure.

Answer 8

anyone who does drugs or drinks alot

has a PROMBLEM!

maybe you should consider getting help

like a consuler

Answer 9

Talk to a professional councilor or psychiatrist immediately. It's better to work on fixing things now before they get worse or engrained into your habits.

Also tell any close friends you have left and family for help.

Answer 10

ya you have a problem go see a support group to help or talk to some of you friends and see if they cuold look past what you may have done and help you.  That's what friends are for, they are a support group.

Answer 11

as much as it hurts to hear the truth----> yeah u do have a drug problem... But i can relate.. i smoke a blunt everyday.. life is stressful!! it calms my nerves and help me get by... i look at it like this.. you control the drug.. don't let the drug control you!! if you feel you can't function at all with out it.. and all your doing is taking drugs, and drinking and not doing nothing constructive with your life at all.. get help!! but if your making it, your good money!!  

Answer 12

Maybe. Sounds more like depression to me though. I would talk to a professional about it before it gets out of hand.

Answer 13

ino. right now ur life seems dull and boring

but slowly ur life will progress with time.

Answer 14

aw..it very well could be that you have a drug problem which isn't good

try doing things that make you happy and don't focus on all of the bullshit drama that goes on around you. it'll eventually get better I promise =]

Answer 15

Yep stay off the ketamin, those pills and all that sh*t will age you - when you reach 25, you will look 40. When (and if) you reach 40 you will look like a pensioner!

Answer 16

YES!  You are addicted.  It takes 21 days to develop or kick a habit.  Choose life!  God Loves you.  You can't be what he created you to be addicted to drugs and alcohol.

God bless you

Answer 17

Daisy,

I think you may be depressed and the depression is leading you to use. Everyone I have ever known uses drugs to escape/cope. You might think it is just fun, but regular people don't take ketamine for fun. People who use downers usually have real anxiety issues and self medicate. They find people are easier to get along with and social situations become easier when they are high.

You can't just stop without help. Is there anyone you can turn to? If not, check your phone book for NA-Narcotics Anonymous- and go to a meeting.

Good Luck

Answer 18

Yes you do, and the 1st step is recognizing that you do. Get help b4 it becomes even more of a problem. You can't get through without help, at least it would be a whole lot harder by yourself, and it will be hard enough as it is!  

Answer 19

The fact that you have to ask if you have a problem is evidence that there is a problem.  Testament to this is the statement that you are losing relationships with friends and you are suffering from depression to which you respond by abusing alcohol and drugs.  

The issue of having nothing to do is something only you can resolve.  Escaping negative feelings is possible without drugs and alcohol.  You may thrive on the temporary relief while using them but that escape is self deprecating and will destroy you if you dont destroy yourself.

At least you are reaching out for help.  This is good.  Dont give up.  Stay sober and find activities that make you happy.  I personally enjoy paintball  :-)  Its a great stress reliever, is physically demanding and I meet lots of great people.  My wife enjoys embroidery, my son plays paintball with me and has started his own lawn care business.  Make yourself busy.  Find creative outlets.  Satisfy the need within you to express yourself in a positive manner.  Above all else know that you are strong enough to overcome anything that life throws at you.  

Answer 20

If you feel all that can make you better is drugs and alcohol.

then yes, i would have to say you have a problem!

.. but if its just an occational thing, no you dont.

.. .. and drugs is bad for you.

DONT DO DRUGS  

Answer 21

yeah your an alcoholic , and maybe even have a drug problem, you need to go seek help def.

Answer 22

I would perhaps say that you do not have a drug problem.  The only thing is that since you are going through a tough time you think that the only way you can have fun is by being intoxicated.  This FEELS like fun since all your problems are forgotten while you are intoxicated.

I would suggest that instead of going to places where you have drugs and alcohol easily available, you should perhaps take a walk in the park, maybe go to some kind of museum, somewhere you will not have the option of diving into drugs to alleviate the pain you are feeling.

Perhaps the best way to feel better, and not so depressed, is to speak to someone - anyone - that will just lend an ear- this will leighten the burden of the time you're going through.

I hope you feel better!    

Answer 23

pills can kill you faster than alot of other "hard core" drugs. be careful! especially when mixing them with alcohol. believe me i've had my share of near overdose moments in the past as well (thatll sober you up in a hurry)

if you have to ask...YES YOU HAVE A PROBLEM.

3-5 times a week is alot. especially mixing things together.

drugs, pills, alcohol dont make things better. sounds to me like you need to stop running away from your problems and face them. reality really isnt so bad all the time....intoxication is not the answer.

i speak from personal experience.

Answer 24

the start of a drug problem i'd think, yes. which is probably making things seem worse than they are, but i do sympathize, i know what its like to be there, you need to get help now before you dig yourself in deeper and its impossible to get out, good luck! *hugs*

Answer 25

I had a similar experience, but i always wanted to play the violin.  I bought a used violin, and found a cheap tutor.  I spent hours leaning, and palyed my *** off.  It really helped me to get my mind off of things, and gave me something to focus on.  You cant drink and practice, because it requires a lot of concentration at first.  

Answer 26

Go talk to a doctor about getting off the drugs. Regardless if you perceive it as a problem or not, it's not helping you to keep drinking and popping pills.

Answer 27

I can't say if you do or not. But there is one way to tell that always works.  Ask yourself why you are do it? If you are doing it to feel better then you have a problem.  If that is so then you need to go to NA or AA meeting.  If you are doing it to be social then it is fine.

Answer 28

Alcohol is horrible for depression and your substance abuse is ruining your brain. Quit while you are behind and become addicted to volunteering or something useful... for your own good. Get ahead of it. Good luck!

Answer 29

Yes, you have a problem. Consider seeing a counsellor, sometimes just talking about all your problems help.

Good luck to you

Answer 30

Well, since you are asking this question in the first place, I would think that you are probably worried about it....And one sign of addiction is when you are sober, you cannot cope without the drug/drink normally.  I would suggest talking to a doctor/psychiatrist about this, and get some counselling or maybe get some medication for your depression so that you won't have to resort to drugs and alcohol to solve your problems.  Good Luck to you, and I wish you the best!!  I went through this same dilemma, and luckily I found the proper treatment/medication that helped me with dealing with my addiction.

Answer 31

Yes you do
