Help
I am desperate for help. I am addicted to amphetamines and downers. I have been for a long time. I have 2 young children and I'm married. I started this forum because I'm scared and I zero tools with starting the recovery process. Today I was confronted by my mom because I stole half her prescription of adderall for the 3 month in a row. Please pray for me and the days to come as I cross over to becoming drug free.

Welcome to SR Secretsover, you have made a wise choice by ( 1 ) admitting you have a problem ( 2 ) reaching out for support. No one needs to do this alone. I personally have an addiction to cocaine. 25+ years. SR is helping me, and can help you. Addiction is a disease and treatable. Plenty of people here in similar situations. Listen to what they have to say. It can't hurt. It can help. God Bless

Welcome! You are on your way.
For a quick start I'd suggest you find some NA meetings in your area, even if you ultimately choose a different recovery route, the face to face support of others and a set time and place to go can be a huge help at the beginning.
Please see a dr, be totally honest and find out what they recommend. Many communities have substance abuse resources, you can find out about them at clinics or by calling a substance abuse hotline.
You don't have to do this alone. It sounds like you may have a possible support in your mom. Maybe she can watch the kids so you can make appts and meetings?
And stick around here, we are a great 24/7 support and resource.
