First off sorry for the long ,potentially boring post but I'm a hurtin scene. If any body hates I'm just gonna remove this . Ok so I'm not exactly sure if I can be considered an addict or if I'm just becoming one. So here it goes
I've been around drugs all my life . My dad is a semi-clean alcoholic speed freak loaded up with prescribed (to him )meds that he abused on the regular. He was prescribed clonazepam ,zoplicon, aswell as a ssri that he misused for some reason? He stole my moms ADHD meds aswell as her lower dose script for clonazepam. Oh yeah he also dabbled in coke and loved his hash.
My parents split up I was 7 . So basically slept at moms on the school days but he would always be there right after school to pick us up . After school from when I was 7-10 ish we always hung out at his place while he chain smoked his funny smelling "cigarettes" and grew his "tomato" plants in the spare bed room . He would also use the bathroom alot, leaving a trail of white powder. Did I forget to say he would also be drinking a 24 pack of bud to himself?
At ten he offered me my first joint . I smoked it then every day after school I would chain smoke joints with dad . Then when I was 11 I kinda walked in on my dad with a straw up his nose . I just said what the hell are you doing? Then he offered me a line. I thought long and hard cause honestly I remember it I wanted to so bad but eventually refused because I thought since I was only an 11 year old kid I would die.
Then It slowly got worse for my father. More more people would show up to buy whatever he could hustle . He could sell ice to a Eskimo literally . I've never scene so many drugs moved so fast. I remember he would get me to weigh him up his oz's apon oz's of pot for him in baggies . There would be a solid 20 + bags that I would be asked and enjoyed weighing it for him every 3 days or so . Back then I just dident realize how much dope actually cost.
He would start snorting pills with the door open not even relize and my younger sister would see . It was really fucked. Drinking,popping pills while watching movies with us. Then we start stealing regularly with him . We would steal groceries and TVs from the same damn store. Anything we needed we stole . Pretty much. Except when winter came then he bacame the local black market for snow blowers And snow tires . Again sipping on a beer the whole time .
Eventually got caught for stealing and luckily got off on house arrest .then his insane girl friend jumped Infrount of his car drunk . And almost got charged with attempted murder and growing pot.
Eventually ended up literally in his parents basement 10 hours drive and a ferry ride away from me .
He's been gone since I was 14. Since 14 I have still smoked weed one a steady basis . At 16 I started experimenting with physcidellics and liquor . Then to any drug I could get my hands on but heroin (mostly opioids,benzos, speed pills and dxm.) the first time you use it .
Now I'm 18 and been using any where's from 1-6 speeders a day with usually a couple hours sleep a night for a month . I stopped and said I think I'm done with speed for a bit. 4 days later I find a script of vyvanse and Went threw a script of 30 30 mgs vyvanse in 2 1\2 days . I don't know how I'm alive right now. I post up my doses aswell as how I felt .bluelighters reply with get to an ER now. I read it don't care the pop 2 mgs of clonazepam . Then blacked out . In the sense I can't remember hours of that night/early mourning. But at the same time I know I was not asleep . Because next thing you know I'm sitting in 2nd period class in my pjs wondering how the fuck I got here .
Anyways I'm on the 2nd day of come down and I still don't care ? I'm very well liked and literally don't have a single enemy at my school . I dident notice untill today that everyone is unbelievably concerned for me . I mean people who I have literally never said more than 2 words to me were asking to talk to me in private . Every single class today my teacher told me they were worried about me . And that I look like a pile of shit . And that I need to go to an in patient program because I'm going to far. both the principles and the guidence consoler seen me today in the hall and asked me if I am sick and then told me they know what's going on . So now I have a meeting at the school . Tomorrow in the mourning so they can tell me possible options if I choose to get some help. Which I already told them that I don't want help and that I'll be laughed at rehab like come on I'm not that into the shit .
Reflecting on my day when I got home I asked my self ,am I procrastinating/sugar coating my drug use? Do I have a problem ?
This is the first drug type other than pot I am really grabbing ahold to . I don't believe I have a physical dependency . Just when I don't have Amphetamines I want them so bad and I always no Matter what end up buying more and more shims .

I forgot to mention that also with all that jazz about my dad that at the same time I was being physiological abused and beat up by my moms now ex. aswell as that my Father only drinks and smokes pot now .
Ok so I take sertraline for depression . And doctor also thinks I'm ADHD. Have had anxiety issues in the past. I am very bad tempered for certain things but I have never really gotten physical with people even when I'm angry because I'm totally against fighting.
What should I do . Rehab ? Go live with my father on the rock Where I will have no access to uppers ?
I just don't know what to do . Please help I really need to figure out what I wanna do .
Again sorry for this absolute mess of a thread I'm just very upset.
 
Start out with AA meetings and light exercise, see what happens?
Probibly should have mentioned I have bi weekly meetings at my school for my drug use and also exercise for roughly 30 mins Monday threw Friday because I have a physicals and health development course. Thank you for the reply .
 
Do you like anything outside of drugs? You need an escape from drugs. Do you like soccer? Do you like school? Do you like reading? What do you like that isnt going to harm you and put you in a grave or in prison? When you figure out what that is, go do that :)

You will be okay. You gotta know the sour before you can appreciate the sweet.
 
I absolutely love paintball , have played it competitively for 5 years now . But last season the only field we had with in an 2 hour drive closed down. So i think your right I need to find something else I enjoy but it's just so hard because I honestly haven't been doing much after the age of 10 besides getting blazzed and then paintball

Then play paintball in your free time with friends. Join a competitive league. Dive into what you love about life. The other problems will sort themselves out in time :) I ate over 60mg of xanax, a bunch of seroquel, booze, oxys, phenibut, ambien all in one night. I remember eatint my whole adderall script of 20mgs xr I had like 60 of them in about 3 days. Ive been thru where your at.

What your going through right now isnt life showing you how bad it is, but it is a testament to how strongly you have been created... how much you can endure and keep pushing forward. You are stronger than you know.

This, you gotta get away man. It sounds like it's been a staple in your life forever and it sounds like you're finally sick of it. Get hobbies, create something, start a band, join a sports team, do something you can be proud of and really sink your teeth into.

You know what the right answer is.
 
You can always discover new things that you love about life, that you had no experience with before... for example, I used to hate metal screamo shit when I was younger I remember, and one day I dated somebody who thats all they listened too, and over time I ended up loving it...

I found out I like cycling, photography, I found out I like to workout, I found out I love music festivals, tattoos, finance, I found my career path...


There are lots of things in life that I didnt start liking till I got older cuz I never gave them a try before cuz I was too busy getting drunk doing drugs with my friends...

There are lots of things in the world that youd love to do but u will never know till u try.
 
my two cents, i never got addicted to opiats, but have abused the shit out of weed, k2, mdma, adderal, xanax, air duster and tried loads of other drugs. it might not be as bad as a heroin problem, but for me it was ruining my life. i had a problem. drugs were the only way i enjoyed anything. if i didnt have drugs, i would crave and want to get fucked up. ive been sober 3 months and life is improving a lot. no more black outs on xanax which is a plus. i think if people are thinking you have a problem, and your having to ask if we think u have a problem, then u probably have a drug problem. im 22 now and basically from 14-21 my life is a blur. dont remember much cause i was always fucked up one way or another. im glad im trying to sober up now, but wish i would have done it sooner like at your age. i think u should just ask yourself if you keep living the way you are living is it going to make your life better? its up 2 you, but i can say from personal experience, it gets worse never better when it comes to drugs. not trying to preach but it definitly sounds like the honeymoon phase of drug use is over for you. so idk if people think u need help, maybe try and listen. make a pro and cons list of if you continue your pattern of drug use, and decide what you want. i wish you the best of luck man
 
Decided to do this on my own with the support of my friends an family . It's been a rough last few days using dxm and smoking pot has helped. But still feel shitty and want nothing more than a line of go-fast .
