Answer 3

Consider a residential treatment, this is for your own good, the people there can help you alleviate addiction in you.

Answer 4

You obviously are aware of your problem which is a good sign. You can't change what you don't acknowledge. I am almost 50 and was into drugs BIG TIME earlier in life so I am at least somewhat familiar with your position. I would recommend Narcotics Anonymous. The phone number is in the white and yellow pages phone books. It's a 12 step program run by recovering addicts. They have been there so can relate to your situation without judging you. It's also free. No dues or membership fees. It really is free. I personally got sick and tired of being sick and tired. Sounds cliche, but it's sooooo true. In NA you will find support, companionship, unconditional love, and most everything to help you get straight. But it's a lot of work. You have to really want to get clean. And please be prepared to get slaughtered on this forum. There are many good people here, but just as many who will revel in ridiculing you and expressing their ill will towards you. Please just IGNORE these IDIOTS. In my opinion, they are more screwed up than you or me. We have a problem that we are trying to fix. These peoples' lives are so pathetic that they get off on our misery. If you would like some support, go to my profile, and e-mail me. I assure you I am not some internet sicko looking for victims. I worked with severely emotionally disturbed adolescents and children for over 14 years and am on this forum to offer my support and assistance. I can give you all of the info you need to check me out so you know that you are safe. You have a long life ahead of you and it's your choice whether it's a happy productive one, or a miserable failure. I hated the fact that the drugs controlled me. Other people say "It's not my fault. It's the drugs. They have taken control." But we can't say that. Obviously we consciously know that everytime we do them, we are committing slow painful suicide. And it not only effects us. All of the people in our lives pay for our bad choices. I don't believe that addiction is a disease. A disease is something we contract through no intention of our own. Drug abuse is a choice. I understand that once addicted, the right choice is more difficult, sometimes impossible, to make. You need some tools to fix this. Just like fixing a broken down car. You gotta have tools. And sometimes the problem is beyond our ability to fix on our own so we need a mechanic or an instruction book. That's what NA is to me. An instruction book with live support, 24/7. Just like every other aspect of life, it's all a series of choices. If my life sucks, I got nowhere to look but in the mirror. That's where the answers lie. There are contributing factors but we can't afford to blame our addiction on them. They helped us choose substance abuse but won't help us quit. They will only drive us deeper into oblivion until it's too late. Addiction really isn't the problem. It's a symptom. It's a warning that something is seriously wrong in our lives. But with will power and support we can deal with this and begin to think clearly again. Giving us the ability to figure out the "why". You can get clean without knowing why you started using. Then, when your brain clears, you can begin to figure out the "why", enabling you to much easier resist the temptation to use again. It's not as complicated as it seems. Ya just gotta want it, then put the energy you use to find and do the drugs into getting free of them. And make no mistake. Alcohol IS a drug. Only difference is, it's legal. (At 21 anyways) This is a progressive thing. It will only get worse. You won't wake up one day and just feel better. Quite the opposite actually. Please know this. We who are in recovery love you and support your recovery unconditionally. We reach out to others because we genuinely care, and in doing so, help our chance of staying clean. "The cure for self is others." I have a toll free # you can call to find a local chapter anywhere in the continental US. If you are outside the US they can give you the info to find resources where you live. 1-800-479-0062. Please go to my profile and e-mail me to let me know how you are doing, ask any questions, or for anything else. God bless you and give you the strength to fight this. Your life depends on it.        

Answer 5

Oh wow, what a story.  There is definitely a drug treatment center literally in every area of the country.  One of the best places to go is the Mental Health facility in your area.  Actually, I would make a phone call to them and tell them that you are very young and need help in stopping drug use.  They will give you the name of a program to help you.  There is also Narcotics Anonymous and I would email them and find someone in your area.  Sounds like you are definitely ready to do this and just need a little outside encouragement.  You are a very, very wise kid.  Who know  a 16 year old could be this smart when it came to stopping drugs?  Wow, I really do admire you. I was an idiot when I was 16.  Sounds like you know that you have your whole life ahead of you and you want to live it sober.

Answer 6

superstar,

you might not want to hear this ,but the only thing to really change you is JESUS CHRIST.When i was younger i was into the whole drug thing ,I was into coke,weed and a lot of other stuff.I wasas invited to church by my parents who had recently started that night i gave my life to GOD,this was not easy for me because of all the things i was doing..

but he took the cravings frome andnd turned my life around.this was not a decision but a commitment on my part to do as the bible says and stay in his will.

Find yourself a GOD fearing church in your area and let GOD handle your problemdon'tnt hold back let him have control you will be amazed at the change if you need someone to talk to send me an email

Answer 7

Since you are web savvyy I would suggest you get on the web and look up AA Alcohol Anonymous and they can direct you to a group that can give you assistance.  I am perplexed how you can afford to do all these drugs and not work?
