you need to fix the problem not supress it. In most cases one uses some kind of mind altering drug such as alchahol or pot to escape reality. You need to face reality head on and change what is making you unhappy. The pot in your case does that temporarily but the problem is still there. Find a way to solve the problem then you will find a way out of the pot. Also...and this is the hardest part...change your play mates and play grounds. If your problem is pot...don't go to where the pot is. I am speaking from experience. I used to get stoned every day. one day I had to quit to get a job. Then I had to stay clean to keep the job. I have a family and my job was more important than the pot. eventually I got over it. Now I'm just an alcaholic and trying to defeat that...it's not easy but I'm winning

I totally understand you--I'm also an addict, but I've been clean for 3 years. When my mom died was when i started using again (after 5 years clean-time) and i got busted. What helped me was coming to terms with my mom's death;dealing with it; deciding I WANTED to stay clean, and staying away from ANYONE that used. It's hard, and sometimes lonely, but the self-respect and self-esteem you gain back makes it so worth it. Good luck.

drug rehab program... you need support by those that have been through similar life lessons
