Starting my life over
Well, today I finally chose to do a detox. Basically, I am a 25 almost 26 year old male. I have been a cigarette and weed smoker for about 10 year. I also have become a heavier drinker the further I got into my 20's. Every year it seems to have gotten worse and worse. I wont lie also that some other drugs were abused along that road. While I can say I have not touched drugs in over a year, I would like to finally kick these last 3 demons. Smoking of any type is a horrible thing and I know needs to be stopped.Also the drinking has become problem. Im not violent or anything when I drink....honestly Im just tired of the hangovers, costs, and overall guilt I feel when I get tanked. Since most of my buddies/friends have the same problem, motivation is being sought out here. I guess thats a good intro for now haha.....I know I can do this and It will get done.
Good for you that you're wanting to quit at this point in your life. When I was about 27 I started to realize that I should quit, but it took me to age 42 to move from should quit to sincerely wanted to quit.
Good luck and I hope you find the resources you need here. It's a good site.

Welcome! It takes courage to decide to stop using and drinking - and it's hard to do it alone, so I'm glad you're reaching out for support.
Most of us found that our drinking/using got worse over time and the consequences got worse too. It's great that you're choosing to stop now.

I'm glad you made the decision to quit. You're young, I wish I would have realized my drinking problem at your age.
Instead, it took another 25 years, and believe me, it only gets worse.
Best of luck to you.
