Aout a year and a half ago Istarted doing pot and have been doing it ever since. I got bored with it after awhile, but still kept up with my unrecognized addiction. After having a minor operation I was prescribed Tylenol 2 to help with the pain. I didn't know what pain to look for after my operation because I was in so much pain before and had a tolerance for it. So I took 2 of the pills every time I felt a bit of pain. When my operation was healed I didn't need them anymore, but still used them, noticing then that I was hooked. Now that all my prescribed medication is gone I have been buying Tylenol 3's off my friend. I have also shared my addiction with another one of my friends, but she quit about a month after. It got so bad that I get high about 3 or 4 times a day and during school hours. I am only 15 and don't want to begin my life this way! I seriously want to get help ASAP!


P.S. I have not told my mom due to stress and my families drug past.

First, you are very brave to come here and open up about your problem, it shows a very high level of maturity on your part. That indicated that you are a strong person, and can overcome this issue as long as you set your mind to it.

I found this link, with many hotline numbers, perhaps it would help to just be able to really talk to someone, rather than the back and forth exchange you find here.

I truly wish you the best in your struggle!

Thank you so much! I will be sure to look into them.
