Not a new user, but new to TDS for the most part.
My name is JD, and I'm 23 years old. I was the typical anti drug growing up kid until senior year of high school when I finally drank. Dranking led to smoking, which led to cough syrup to psychedelics etc. I've smoked pot consistently for the last 5 years straight, at least a g/day. I needed to stop this abuse long ago, as its so much more harmful to myself, even though I still have the "idea" that its good. I don't really even know what it means to be sober for more then 24 hours. Its extremely hard for me to go more then a few days at most and not dose on something.
Anyhow, then I opened myself up to more and more kinds of drugs. I've had a few run ins with binging on shit, but never for an extended time, so never addicted to any one thing. I found myself in a bad relationship for 3 years, and I turned to drugs to get away. Just as time has passed, I find it harder and harder to go a day without something. I can't remember what it was like to live a sober life anymore. Tried quitting drugs, just made me smoke double as much weed all day. Relapsed with one substance, now its turned into 6 different ones over the past week or two.
Being liberated from my relationship made me feel lost for quite some time, I seem to be at a crossroads or something. Just started using more since I was "free". Losing your self is easy, but finding yourself is hard.
Anyway I've been a member of this board for a while, and its a great community. I've met some people I still talk to daily. I hope I can help contribute and learn in TDS. And hopefully create some good relationships with you folks.

I admire the people who help souls who are in a bad place, it can really help having someone to relate to.

for you all.
