So, I have a history of drug use, and that was fine until now. My family started to develop internal e personal problems, and it is becoming stressful, and in addition to that, my relationship is going down, and I'm using more drugs than ever. But I realize that I do that to escape reality or ease my problems, and I dont whant to resort to drugs, Any advice about what I should do?

PS: Sorry for any grammar mistakes, I'm not a native speaker.
 
sounds like youre ready for a change. Depending on what drugs you're on, you may want to consider rehab..maybe try n find an interest or passion to escape.
 
I understand your need for escape. There are other ways to occupy your mind though. I find a good escape for me is working on cars. I would love to work on cars and drink a couple beers but beer is a trigger for me so I can't. If you want to stay sober identify your triggers and find that one thing or multiple things you can do to distract yourself. Hope this helps.

Nothing that is worth a rehab. Most of the times I use cigarettes and booze, and sometimes sleeping pills because sleeping make me not confront reality.

That1s a good advice, usually I hang out with some friends, but I soon realized that they werent actual friends, that made the situation worse, I resort mostly in my best friend and in my gf, but as I said, we're in a stage in the relationship were both of us were bringing personal issues to the relantionship and using it to relief our anger. And I'm learning how to code, helps to get my mind off the problems, but sometimes I have some awful crisis. Thank you so much for your advice, it's very hard right now to be happy ;/
 
When everything in my human paradigm falls apart I go out to spend more time in nature. Works wonders for me.<3

Really? I like to walk on the beach, I live in one, but I still have the urge to smoke, or drink.
