Answer 2

oh love, your so young, you are going to waste your amazing youth on things that you could and should be doing later on in life, if ever. You need to speak to someone qualified in that field, talk to a drug and alcohol counsellor, they will be confidentail and there should be help lines you can contact.

What is the possible of moving away from where you are? Staying with a relative and changing schools? You need to get away from this group of friends because they will drag you back, misery loves company, you need to be strong and stay focused. Maybe get a job over the weekends so you have to have early nights, something you really really like, like working in a music store, theme park, or sports centre?

Message me if you need any more information? I may be able to track down some contacts for you, take care and good luck!

pick up a hobby that you enjoy, and distract yourself from the urge of doing drugs/drinking.....you may need professional treatment to achieve this but maybe changing who you hang out with will make a huge difference, because if you are around other people who do drugs it will be very hard to resist it and temptaion can get the best of you....good for you for wanting to stop, thats great...stick with it and i know you can improve your life..

Try the s*x thing...It's more addictive, and really really FUN!  

Answer 5

You may like to start an activity box. What one is required to complete this is  put  ideas, books, games or whatever you may enjoy in a literal box. Then if you become bored you have ready to go activities.

More people don't do drugs or abusive alcohol than do. If your friends can't understand then maybe it's time to move on. Stay true to yourself and you will see changes happening for the good

Good for you. I have faith. If you do slip up,  don't punish yourself.

From experience, I speak, there are no excuses.
