I need to stop using SO many drugs. I used to use ecstasy once a month, but now im using it over 2 times a week, along with my habitual amphetamine and other strong stimulant use. I have started stealing hundreds of dollars from my family to pay for all of my pills...and i feel bad...but i just cant stop...
i don't want to go to rehab, because i dont want my family to know i've slipped back into drugs again....
please give me advice on how to cut down a LOT. please.
 
is your life out of control? do you feel powerless over your drug use? if the answers are yes than you are probably an addict. i recently started a 12 step program through AA and can say that it is by far the most hope i've ever had with addictions in the 15 years i've been using.

i highly suggest you get to a meeting before you kill someone.
 
Cutting back often doesn't work when your use is out of control like that. You gotta stop taking them. Stop hanging out with others users in settings where they're likely to take the drugs in question.
 
It sounds like you know what you need to do you just haven't come to terms with it. Once you proclaim you are an addict most of the weight is lifted off your shoulders. I am sure your family loves you and will be there along the way.

acceptance is the key... there is no shame in asking for help, thats what friends and family are for. But, only do this if you are committed to following through or you will damage those relationships. The one thing that kept me going through detox and staying clean what picturing my mothers face having to identify me at the morgue.

You need to be ready, willing and committed to this or you will fail which will make everything 500 times worse because then you will feel like a failure. Seek help. There are alot of resources out there. You don't necessarily have to go to rehad. I did a 21 day outpatient detox and it worked fine for me.

Good Luck
 
What worked for me when I went through a time like that was moving back home with my family... I lived there for a few months and then went traveling on my own. I've never had a problem with drugs and alcohol since BUT... understand that the reason I moved back home was I hit a rock bottom I'd never wish on anyone. It really took an extremely hard fall *metaphorically* to make me know I HAD to change. Hopefully the fact that you've hurt your family will be enough of a bottom for you.

Personally, I never joined any groups or went to rehab or anything like that. I rehabilitated myself on my own using EFT therapy and my own desire to change. Nothing wrong with joining some groups if you think it could help you, I just wanted to point out that it is possible for an addict to heal on their own if they are really ready to quit. I haven't touched alcohol or any stimulant for almost 2 years now...

Hello dear, just think that are you doing justice with your life and with your family...? This is much dangerous to taking too much drugs, in this sense you are going to damage your stomach and alternatively going to death before time. Just avoid doing this....Please....

From the looks of it you won't be able to just Cut Down......If it were just as easy as cutting down millions of people would still be using today....But what seperates us from the normal users.....Is we are addicts....1 pills is not enough and a million is never enough....

You seem like you have a decent head on your shoulders...you know what you're doing wrong and you know what you need to fix....

The sooner you quit the less "wreckage" you will cause yourself.....Stealing money from parents can have a harsh punishment if they contact authorities.....A punishment you might not ever be able to fix.....

Look into Narcotics Anonymous....Seek out your "Higher Power" for guidance... Seek help from a friend or family member.... You are part of the "LUCKY ONES" you have identified your problem early on before it is too late......

You can make a change! You know what you have to do! Raving and Ecstasy is just an "escape".....it shouldn't be done on a regular basis.....I am sure you have heard of E-Tard? The more you "roll" the more holes you burn in your brain.....Make a CHANGE before it's become TOO LATE!
