    On the 28th September 2004 this question has been read 60 times by many people and you cannot tell me that there is NO ONE out there with a problem. Maybe they do not want to admit it, but it does exist.

    Come on guys be truthful about yourself and maybe we can help you.

    I cant quit...
    Hi there, I'm 18 and I've tried everything, I've been addicted to a lot and got through a lot... with the help of my love.
    But the problem is that I've started smoking again and I can't quit... I can't tell her that I'm smoking again cause it would break the trust...
    I got off everything but cigarettes seem like my catch22... help me man...
    I need help. :(

    I'm in the same boat mate. I've been smoking heaps of cigarettes...

    The worst thing about stopping drugs is that I lost all my friends. I feel so alone

    If you do not mind me saying so, you cannot lose something you never had. Those individuals that you did drugs with are not your true friends. True friends will do anything for you, they will love you, help you and be there for you no matter what!! Those people were simply people that you hung out and partied with.

    How do you help someone that does not want help? The individual is not a teen, he is 24 years old. Any suggestions?

    Hi, GreenX,
    Are you talking about being an addict? If you have or have not quit yet, have you found a Narcotics Anonymous meeting near you?
    If you have NA meetings near you, there will be a great number of "friends" just waiting for you to come to the first free meeting.
    Also, Alcoholics Anonymous, AA, is another free meeting that you can attend, finding friend after friend!
    Best of luck, and hang in there.

    Ok so right now you have been feeling down because you feel like you have lost all your buds and stuff, But you need to look at it that these people where not your buds they have the same issue's and problems that you do!! They can not give up the drugs, and staying around them will lead to your death or even jail...

    As posted above you need too get to these meetings, in your mind its going too tell you "Na don't bother" but deep inside yourself you want too be clean. If these people where such good friends why would they run when you stopped taking the drugs? Why don't they want to hang out with you? Maybe because your not chucking your money down some jumped up dealers ***!!

    It's a good step if you have stopped using! But that is just step one, you have a massive road ahead of you and you really need support and help to ensure that you keep on the right track.

    I wish you look in keeping clean and pray that you may stay that way and go look for some help, before its all too late.:(

    Hang around people who like you for you. Most people that do drugs are so addicted that they only hang out with others that do it to increase their chances of getting drugs. Those are not your friends. I know you are probably smoking the ciggeretts because of quitting but they are just as bad for you. Go visit a nursing home or a hospital and take a look at what smoking ciggeretts does to a person. Go find you some friends who will support you and don't get involved with people doing drugs.

    Hi,

    I have quite a few problems im dealing with. I am a 21 yr old male and i have been seeing a counselor about anxiety and family problems. I have had a very strange life and many problems to go with it. I am dealing with living at home with no family communication whatsoever. I have an adddiction to spice and i quit smoking weed when i got my new job but i need something every night and i relied on spice. I know its sold everywhere and so many people do it with no problems, i did for years. ITs not the spice itself causing me to ruin myself but my addictive nature. Now i need it throughout the day and it causes me extreme anxiety to the point that i can't even leave my room yet i can't stop. My counselor knows i smoked spice before my doctor put me on celexa (SSRI). Now i can't stop still and have been saying i dont smoke it anymore. the spice is the main problem as of now as far as drugs go but i have had a tendancy to get high off whatever is available. I have tried soo many pills and even coke twice. I took an extreme dosage of xanex and destroyed my car and didnt remember three days although my friends were there they didnt remember anything either til a three days went by and we remembered we took xanex cause we completely forgot we did and i think i died that night. the spice is my current addiction. I am afraid of using it while on this med because it makes me feel convinced that i may be dead and that i am in a dream and life blows up in my head to an enormous size its very wierd and i have had big changes in life perception since mixing the two. I can't play my guitar anymore on spice which i happen to be very good at. the reason is because the music fels so out of this world to me and it seems so REAL. I cannot explain myself fully. Its like i hate it and then it wears off and i have to do it again. I also binge drink on and off every other week or so. I have no motivation and i feel a need to move out and get a good job very very badly. I have OCD too. I have never posted online about myself but i am sick of it all. I want to make somethin of myself and be something great. Im stuck delivering pizzas in a car i was very very lucky to get and i have been doing this for three and a half years destroying cars to deliver pizzas. The main thing is that i know i have a problem and my counselor doesnt even get the feelings i have. I wish someone would understand. I dont even think this life is real although we are real. Its like we exist but in some strange form thta only matters because we are here. like this is really the only existence where actual life can be possible. If the universe is infinite which it must be, then how can we die and experience nothingness. How can it be possible to experience nothing when there are infinite possibilities. My mind is rife with these crazy ideas allll day long. It stresses me more because i know the meaning of life is meaningless and full of meaning at the same time because evrything is possible and the human mind is just a human mind and cannot know the truth till we are gone no matter how much i feel it all the time. its like these five senses can only pick up so little and if there was one solid answer then people would have figured that out. I think every god must be real. If a god is real to someone then in their reality it is a truth. There are so many beliefs and so evry one must be true. If a thopught is thought does that not make it true? Everything we observe or do is simply a thought and nothing else if u really look at it because we may touch something for example and feel it but what is a feeling if its not just a thought. the senses send a message to our brain to simply THINK about what it sent to us and by feeling or tasting or hearing and whtever, we are simply thinking. There must me an infinite number of gods even though one person may believe in just one. if they believe in just one then there is one god in their "now" and it is possible to have more existing on completely different plains ruling over multiple infinitys and the truth will never be for sure to us because the universe is ever expanding. we obsrve it and its an idea. when we die we have no more ideas and now its somethin else. ahhh. :( help
