PS. We live nearby. Should I knock at his door every other day to see if he is on meth. He looks pretty normal on meth anyways. I am worried about him.
What if someone does not want to get the help to stop using drugs and instead claim that they can do it on their own? Is that possible? I would like to get some success stories with and without help. Thanks
I quit all thoughts of my addiction. Now whenever I notice or think of anything that reminds me of this addiction, I return my thoughts into my body and into my breath. Just like in meditation, I focus on something single to not let my instincts get the better of me. It works for others things such as my food and candy cravings too. It worked so far but its been only a few days so I don’t know.
So I am asking; What is this called that I am doing? Does it work? Will I succeed in ending my addiction.
I think we would get benefited. Don’t tell me it is excellent muscle relaxant or peg or two is actually a good sedative. Look at accidents caused by drunk drivers. Look at student addicts. Find out how many have liver cirrhosis every year. Why we want to change the state of mind and feel temporarily happy by having alcohol ? World statistics shows that Alcohol consumption is on rise in all forms of alcoholic drinks. I think consumption of alcohol must be having proportion to insecurity , lack of confidence , relationship problems and psychiatric disorders. What are your views on this topic ?
Iggy – where you would draw the dividing line ? do you know how many teenagers drank alcohol on 31 st this year and to what extent ? do you know many rapist do the crime under influence of alcohol ? how many women suffer abuse from their husbands who are alcoholic ?? In country like India a very low quality poisonous alcohol is produced illegally killing many people every year. Many add drugs to alcohol to increase the “kick”. I am not suggesting alcohol should be banned , it will be impractical, but at least why not be aware that consumption of alcohol may go out control one day.
i don’t know what to do to stop hurting. i’m 19 years old, a senior in high school. i’ve been living with my dad for alittle over a year, he and i were very close in the begining. he was recovering from a crack addiction and alcoholism and doing very well, he had a few relapses during that time but they consisted of getting high or drunk once, telling me about it if i didn’t already know, appologizing, and then stopping and staying sober for several months. about 2 1/2 weeks ago he and his live-in girlfriend had an arguement and he came to me and said it was about him using behind my back for several months. he told me he would sober back up and things would get better, i didn’t believe him this time, about a week later i found a crack pipe in a cigarette pack while he was sleeping. i wrote him a long note telling him i needed to get out of the house to think and i didn’t know when i would be back. when i got a hold of him again i told him i didn’t think it was healthy … to be cont.
for me to continue living there and enabling him, i had told him on more than one occasion that i would move out if he relapsed again, this time i did. i found some friends who took me in for a very small amount of rent and have been staying with them ever since, only going back to gather a few clothing articles and other necessities. i have been keeping in contact with him via phone because i still love him and want to maintain a relationship with him. this morning before school i called him because he had asked me to, he said we needed to talk soon. when i asked him what it was about he said he was considering moving across the country back to Washington state, i didn’t have time to talk more, i will be going over tomorrow to talk with him face to face about it, but it devistated me that he was leaving. i love my grandmother to death but i know that when he goes back to Washington she will enable him more so than i ever was able. it hurts me so bad because i love him… continued…
so much and wanted more than anything to try and form a healthier relationship with him and now that will be impossible. he won’t get the help that he needs when he leaves, and i know that he can get healthy, but not if he goes back to Washington where he knows many more people, most of whom he used drugs with (many more than crack) and he will fall back into the pattern that he has been in for many years of using and not caring about anyone/anything. is there some way that i can make the pain he’s causing me to go away and stop thinking about him and crying everytime i do? is there some way i can help him? is there a reason people do this to the ones who love them? any feedback or advice you have will be greatly appreciated.
thank you,
Girl in Pain
As I’ve aged I’ve fallen into the easy buzz. I was mystical and lived in yoga ashrams and had a great many wonderful experiences. They warned me if I left at the point I was at that the negative would come at me even harder. Kind of like stretching a rubber band. I pulled it far because I had extraordinary ability and saw and walked away. They were amazed and saddened. True to their word I’ve fallen into alcoholism which those who haven’t been there can’t understand. My spiritual side has never gone away yet alcohol like a cancer won’t let me go. Any answers??
