I use to do that all the time. I couldnt accept that I was an addict and recently that I have some mental issues. But minimizing your probles will only keep you using and sick.
Let the professionals decide whether you have a problem or not. Or thats why we reach out to others so they can help us see what we cant sometimes.
I think you have a very valid problem. Doing drugs is def a problem. And can cause mental issues. I know mine stem from many yrs of drug use.
Dont be ashamed here. We are all in this together.
We never judge or put down or minimze anyone here.
I think you will see that the more you read and interact.
This board has really done so much for me. Without SR I wouldnt have even kept trying.
I have found a wonderful group of people here and they truly care.
You can always come here and vent, rant, ask questions, share and even try and help another with your own experience.
Its how all this works. We help each other.
