Hey Grimey welcome to SR, im sure that you will get alot of good positive replies here, but be sure to look at the other forums too like the AA related ones and the NA/substance abuse ones too...there are hell of a lot of people who are going through exactly the same things as you with the same thougths feelings fears guilts and shames...many are in recovery and are able to help...

I guess you are pretty young to my 40 years but I was young once too!! and I did all sorts of things, pills, acid, glue, gas, speed, heroin, weed and finally settled with alcohol!!!!

you expressed what happened to you with weed so eloquently that I had to smile! I used to do it because everyone else was and it made me so PARANOID that it was unbearable!!!my behaviour was erratic and I lost all bonds and trust in people.

those thougts were compounded by the use of other drugs and alcohol...the bottom line is this stuff really messes you up and can have a long term effect.

now I ended up becomming an alcoholic and i eventually found AA five years ago...this may not be for you but I think you have aknowledged the damage youare doing to yourself and how you feel is not right

so waht are you going to do?

you can go to the NA/substance forum and ask for help there and in the uk they have NA meetings where fabulous people like you recover and get theri lives back ontrack

I would not swap my recovery for the world! I am nearing the end of my foundation degree now,and am nearly up to speed with my maths in order to do an advanced GCSE something I would not have done if I was still drinking....you have noticed a pattern in your behaviour do you think you are READY to cut that ever decreasing cycle of damage and crap?

the bottom line is this is up to you ....YOU have a choice now Grimey you can ask for help and seek it out and I hope you do because you sound like a terrific person with hellovalot going for them...

If you get it now it will save you years of humiliation and shi* inthe future....

so I wish you luck my friend and love and hope you have the strength to seek help because it is out there all you have to do is ask and remember this YOU ARE NEVER ALONE....

love purrddyxxx
