Hello

Hey everyone, my names Jason. A little about myself, I'm 19 and i'm also a college student. I've tried getting staying sober before with AA and NA, but it didn't work out and i've been using for the past two years. I pretty much have used mostall substances I could get my hands on. I am in the army national guard, and I recently failed a drug test, coming up positive for weed and amphetamines (however, i have a script for adderall, which is why i came up positive for amphetamines) Lately i've particularly struggled with oxycodone and weed. I'm trying to get sober as nothing good comes from my drug use. Today is my first day clean.

Hello, and welcome! And congratulations on your first day clean.

Sounds like drugs and alcohol are affecting your life in an adverse way. They did mine, too.
Just remember you never have to drink or use again. Think that first drink or drug through to the end and the ramifications it will bring. Nothing good is going to come of it.

I hope you feel free to post as often as you need to, you'll find a lot of support here.

Best to you.

I really hope you find something that works for you Jason. That road you are on is not a good one. If you don't mind me asking...I'm always curious why it doesn't work for someone...Because I've seen so many people get sober and clean in AA and NA. Did you get a sponsor to guide you through the 12 steps?
