Do I Have a Drug Prolem?
Question by Angel<3mc: Do I have a drug prolem?
quite a few months ago, actually a year ago next month, I admitted to myself that I had a problem with opiates and I admited myself to rehab, I “relapsed” about 3 months after rehab.
I just want someone personal, professional and respectable opinion and answer please because I am at a stand still and dont know what to do, dont know who I am, cant see my life, I guess you could say I am lost.
I used to do pills, but found them harder to get when I got out of rehab. Went back to my number one drug of choice, heroin, was a pretty big jump. I dont do H ever day like before, however, i dont think their is one day I go without being clean, ever!
If I cant get H or dont have enough, I go for meth, and do a little 1-3 day binge on it. If I cant get meth, I get coke, if I cant get either, I use weed in order to go sleep, before I went t to rehab, I HATED WEED! Still do, but like it if that is all I can get.
Not very big on alcohol, however, I cant smoke weed and be social, cant work on it, so sometimes I will drink so I can work and feel ok I guess…
Feels horrible admiting this, but at the same time like a weight lifted of my shoulders… havent told anyone, if anything, i feel like rehab made me worse… tought me how to hide my paraphonelia and keep it that way, tought me aobut other drugs, gave me courage to try other drugs, and I ended up liking them…
my question is, do you think I have a problem? Also if you have ever had a drug problem, and are sober and have been for a while, please tell me HOW ARE YOU HAPPY AND LIVE WITHOUT DRUGS? I want true happiness but just cant find it, thats why I relapsed…
I am sober now, took 5 tramadol hence that was all I could find…

I think this is relevant to your question. The statistics about recovery from alcoholism show that its common for recovering alcoholics to fall off the wagon once or twice during recovery. There are H users who go through sober periods and alternating periods of using the drug. Your goal is to minimize use, to zero if you can. The most important thing is never giving up. You can live for a long while on H but its possible that one dose will kill. In particular, stay the hell away from meth. It’s poison. It destroys your organs whenever you take it.
There used to be TV ads called Anti Drug that told kids to find meaningful ways to spend their time so drugs won’t tempt them. I go along with that. The problem with giving up a drug is that it gives the ex-user a lot of free time which is boring.
