I'm powerless and need help!

I'm struggling badly in my addiction. I've been making excuses and watching myself use while a part of me is dying inside. I don't want to be like this and I know I have to do something today! I'm afraid of overdosing and leaving my friends and family with that horrible scar. I have an extreme personality and do everything in excess. Someone please give me some feedback. My heart hurts and I can't do this alone!

I'm going to a meeting tonight. I need to talk to people with the same problem I have.

Thanks for responding. Today has been tough but I am doing it. Just thankful for this site, it's been encouraging and helping me with my confidence. I'm going to a na meeting at 8pm. I need a sponsor badly. 9 out of 10 of my friends are also drug addicts and that is going to make it that much harder. I'm self medicating to fill several voids in my life.
