4 months sober from weed
by modestCat1325

 Wednesday
...See more I’m 16 years old and I used to smoke weed everyday for a year. Before anyone judges I suffer from borderline personality disorder and weed has been very accessible to me because everyone in my life would smoke or provide me with free weed, including my family. During my addiction, I never wanted to quit until I had gotten psychosis from it twice which made me quit. Now I have so much regret from it, my memory is still very bad and I still experience dissociation everyday. I thought quitting would make me feel better but I feel worse now. I feel really stupid compared to before I started smoking, I didn’t think it would affect my brain this much. I just feel so much regret that I think about everyday. It feels like i’m never gonna fully recover from it and like I ruined my life.

Turns out newer community is in to Meth, and I'm sober/"substance"-free...

...See more I became friends with some different people in the past year or so for various reasons, and many of them "indulge" or "self-medicate" in ways I don't agree with. Some of these people are even quite important to me. I've never done meth and don't want to. I quit anything more than rare use of drugs more then a few years ago, recently saying a no thanks to all, and went sober a few or so years ago. It's really quite stressful and sad for me sometimes. I have tried to tell them there are better solutions out there. That health is something I care about. Their health. That they are beautiful. That God created them beautiful. I could go on and on. But many don't really take me seriously. Some have cut back and that makes me believe in humanity more. I say it's bad but I don't really want to push it too much. I don't want people to quit too fast... and have it be bad for their health? Some say that. I don't know. And I don't want people to change for me but because they want to. Maybe my approach is wrong? I don't really know anything about the drug. It just wasn't ever really around me. I'm trying to keep compassion and care but I feel this issue creates such a distance. Atleast I'm gaining patience and calm somewhat I guess.

Alcohol and depression

 December 15th
...See more Hi I am Jay I suffer with depression and addicted to alcohol. Both sides of my family are alcoholics and so am I. I was sober for a year and half then my partner and I agreed that I could drink beer and only with them. So this being said I was depressed Friday night and gave into my stress and depression chose to drink as I drank heavily while my partner was out of state. My partner and I have been togehter for 5 years and they suffered a lot with my drinking. They are exhausted from the last episode which was a couple days ago. They want to quit drinking which I agreed with our talk today and they want me to seek therapy. The only issue is they expect me to be fully off the booze and in therapy come Jan or they are leaving. I just wished they understood I just can't snap out of hey I am never drinking again because I will get the urge drink when I am depressed or stressed. I will kick it and want to kick not just for them for myself as well. I just need the love, support, and understanding this won't be an easy task as they make it out to be. Not just love, support, and understanding from my partner I will need from my family as well. I know I need better coping mechanisms for my depression and stress I want to try healthier ways to cope. I have trouble sleeping from my childhood which I use alcohol as well to put me to sleep

I feel so lost. i want to get help. Advice and opinions?

...See more I’m been struggling with weed addiction for around a year or longer now. i’m 16. I have had breaks in between throughout when flying to a different country but as soon as i’m back home i’m on it again. 3 times a day. maybe even more; whenever the feeling wears off. This weekend i finally found the strength to quit weed and turned to alcohol instead for two days. Now i’m two days clean from everything and i feel like i’m spiraling out of control and i haven’t been doing anything but simply floating. I feel empty. I desperately want to get the professional help needed because i know something is wrong with me. In order for me to get this help however, i have to bring it up to my parents. I don’t want that because they’ve never really been the supportive type. I feel so isolated and alone and scared and i feel like this pattern of getting better then getting worse, it’s never going to stop. I know it will but why does it feel like everything is ending?
