I don’t think I really need rehab but I know I need to cop on to myself some way. I developed an eating disorder when I was 13 (a mixture of bulimia and anorexia) and first cut myself when my parents split up when I was 14. I never told any family members about my eating disorder but I “recovered” by myself when I was 16, and began to take drugs instead, mostly weed hash codeine and legal highs. I often took codeine in school, maybe once a week, just for the laugh. When I was 17 I was molested … Keep reading…

I started abusing alcohol and marijuana in the 5th grade in order to deal with severe social anxiety and a skyrocketing battle with depression. I stated skipping school to smoke pot and when I did go to school I always brought a large water bottle filled to the brim with a mixture of any alcohol I could get my hands on. When I was 12 I tried meth for the first time and I figured out that strong substances were my only hope… The abuse of meth lasted for 5 months; I would tweak 24 hours a day every day … Keep reading…

I grew up in a home with a sexually abusive father who had a crack addiction. I first molested at age 11 and first introduced to crack at age 11. My father continued to sexually assault me for the next 5 years. My mom died from a heroin overdose when i was 7 years old. Im an only child so my father had to rasie me by himself. My father continued to make me smoke crack over the years while he was molesting me. Eventually i became dependent and could not stop. I was kicked out of high school and … Keep reading…

My life changed dramatically after a night of heavy drinking and partying about a year ago. I was involved in an accident while drunk that nearly took the lives of two very good friends of mine as well as my own, Sobriety was forced upon me after years of living the lifestyle that young adults “die” for. After being released from custody I stuck to recovery goals set by myself but I never sought support or help from others who have been in a smiliar situation. So ive picked up drinking again, only now if I get caught I go … Keep reading…

Starting from when I was 12 until I was 15, I had what started out as anorexia, and then bulimia, and then both. It got so bad that I didn’t even have a reflux anymore. It felt like I was a ghost; I was tired and unwilling to fight anymore. The day I stopped was the day that I threw up, and instead of food or bile, I threw up a good amount of blood. This scared me enough to stop, and with a few relapses, recover.

But lately, I’ve been feeling more and more disgusted with myself everytime I … Keep reading…

I believe there is an addiction for every human being. If we happen to stumble upon that one substance or behavior then addiction becomes a part of our life story. Such was my case. I drank alcohol in moderation and smoked week in college. i tried cocaine but never crack and some hallucinagens, but it wasn’t until I discovered crystal meth or methamphetamine did I understand and realize the power of addiction.

When I began I would watch others who were using meth lives become unmanagable. Some would live in homes that were constantly a mess, others tinkered with things … Keep reading…

I am addicted to thinking and doing things.  I can not have a minute in my daily life where I am not planning something. Either to go to the gym, to have a cup of coffee, or to read a book.

But it is the emptiness that I am trying to avoid. As if I am not doing something I cease to exist !

It is not one thing in particular, but an obsessive compultion to fill up the empty space.

I could more noticed it when I was watching TV, so I stopped and now I noticed that it is … Keep reading…

Started with valium given to me at work, kept stressing out.  Liked how it felt.  Still like how it feels.  I have a tab or two every day now to keep the edge off.  Is this an issue?  I’m so wound up after work, I feel like I need it to come down from the day.

Don’t know if I have a problem or not, but i can’t stop.  So yeah, guess I do.  Anyone else?  Heroin?  What do you do when you want to stop but the body won’t allow it?

I just want to share my problem with my son’s games addiction. I’m pleading for help because my 9-yr old son is addicted to his PSP. He’s been playing with PSP almost non-stop the whole day this summer. And when school started, instead on working on his assignments at home, he would play with the game system. I’m worried right now because his teacher already called my attention to his dwindling grades.  He have actually developed some twitching in his body already. I feel bad for I shouldn’t have given him that game player.
