Am I an Addict?Do I Need Rehab?

Question by shmee: Am I an addict?Do I need rehab?
I didn’t smoke pot everyday, but I did think about it everyday and wish that I could use everyday. I’d say I smoked pot two or three times a week, whenever I possibly could really. When I started getting tested by my parents, I failed 8 or 9 tests over the course of 9 months. I also started doing oxycontin (8 or 9 times) when I could, other pills dxm cocaine vicodin (threw up from taking too much), drinking now and then, Smoking opium for a week or so, and snorting sleeping pills. I would stop smoking for a month or two, then set out to only smoke once or twice and go”On a run” for a week or so. I stole money and iPods for money. I almost got arrested for selling. I’m pretty obsessed with getting high. But I don’t use everyday. I am 17 am I an addict?

Well, I don’t know what the definition of an addict is but stealing to get money for drugs has to be a bad symptom in that direction. I think trying to escape problems using some kind of substance or behavior…I don’t care what it is…a drug, food, smoking, gambling..exercise…any kind of escapism is the road to problems. Drugs….the illegal ones are just the fastest road. Any of those roads will get a person in trouble….eventually. No one has carte blanche on perfection.
We all have problems.
