Hi, Everyone...need help
Hi
I've been reading the forum lately and thought that I'd finally introduce myself, My name is Mike I'm from NB Canada. Well I must admit that I do have a drinking and drug problem.
I started drinking at 14 realized that I had a problem at 15 when I covered it up with minor drugs and regret being introduced to cocaine at 18.
I feel so bad and ashamed to say that today I'm 36 and still drinking and doing coke.
It's been a long rough road. For many years I'd only do weekend bings stayed clean for 4 month and was so glad but lately things have turned to the worst, I 'm drinking and drugging every day and I'm going threw hell and things are just getting worst.
Everyday I wake up and just wish that I'd have a switch that could shut off my life. I really do want to straighten up my life. But it scares me so much lately when I realize I cant stop. My strenghts, faith and hope is just no longer their.
Would appreciate some help and support here thanks
Mike

Welcome Mike--glad you are here! There are plenty of people here who can share similar experiences--I too am a recovering alcoholic/addict. Check out the substance abuse forum as well--plenty of addicts here that have been there too-- :atv

Hey Mike, welcome to SR.
While it may be scary, it is a necessary revelation in order to seek help. It is good that you are reaching out for help so many people like myself think they can do it on their own. It was not until I accepted the fact that I needed outside help that I had a chance at a lasting sobriety. During my drugging days I did cocaine too. I know how addictive it is. You will find many here that you can relate to, so keep coming back and keep us posted on you progress.
But it scares me so much lately when I realize I cant stop
