From a drug user....drugs aren't the answer

The alcohol the weed the acid and shrooms and cough syrup. It doesn’t help. It just covers up the pain that will always be there. Im trapped in the cycle that empties my account at the liquor store. If ur thinking of picking up the bottle or trying new substances, use my ■■■■■■ up lifestyle as an example that its not the way. It is the farthest thing from the answer. ■■■■ u drugs

Yea life continues but for a few hours it doesn’t hurt as badly as it usually does. I’ve been sober for a long time but I’m tired of feeling this way.

Drugs are not the answer! :+1: :blush:
I’ve been addicted to weed. What a huge waste of time and energy. I feel much better now that I’m not addicted and don’t use it.

It’s been right at a year since I last drank. I don’t miss the hangovers.

I have to chime in for the current abusers. Getting clean and sober is not impossible. Just go to an AA, CA, or NA meeting and hear the hardcore drug users tell their stories of using drugs for most of their life and the supposedly “hopeless” alcoholics who lost everything in their disease and ended up sleeping on public park benches in pools or their own urine while scaring kids who walk by them and see a “hopeless” wreck of a man laying semi-conscious for years at a time. And then they come to AA and wrack up 15-20-30 years of sobriety and become responsible, contributing, members of society.

Or the ex-cons who spent years in prison where they could get any drug tney wanted inside or drink pruno every day to get drunk but they somehow find AA and with some luck they get clean and come to meetings to help other people. I’ve seen too many cases of addicts or alcoholics who were written off as hopeless but with a little honesty, some effort, and faith they turn their lives around. I’m not saying this for the fun of it. I’m not making this up or exaggerating. I am saying it because I have heard it and seen it with my own ears and eyes countless times.

My dad is schizoaffective and an alcoholic. He is extremely suspicious as he drinks he gets to be more so. He has physically hurt my mom.

My brother is bipolar and he is a dick without his daily fix of weed.

Was that directed at me?

Yup!!! U wanna rumble in the jungle or what

No i don’t wanna “rumble”. Honestly that was unwarranted. Im glad ur off drugs but coming after me with something i struggle with is wrong. I don’t know what i did to u but if u keep it up ill have to get some outside help. @Rhubot or @Moonbeam
