You have to care more about yourself, your life, your family... than you do drugs. As long as you are weak & let drugs rule your life you will not change. You have to be strong!

Looking for help is a good sign. Keep doing it. Yes you can keep it up. Do it one moment at a time and be proud of yourself for trying. Making big changes in your life is difficult for everyone. What you are doing is very hard and reaching for help is a good thing. We all need help. Drugs and alcohol are big issues.
I'm a mom and I would not kill you. But, I would not want a life of drugs, drinking and putting your education on hold for you. That's doesn't mean she doesn't love you. Tell her you are trying and it is hard. Tell her things what she can do to help you. You might be surprised at her reaction.
Also try talking to your school counselor. Tell her/him that you are struggling to change right now and could use some assistance. Ask for help with school work, ask them if there are any campus programs for kids trying to deal with alcohol and drug use. These people are sitting in their offices drawing their salaries with the sole purpose of helping you. Use them. Put aside worry about your peers thinking this is not cool. What is cool is being strong and confident enough to make a difference n your life. People will realize that and respect you.
Friends can be a great resource unless they encourage you to fail. Find friends that can you can talk to about this and that encourage you with alternatives to drugs and alcohol that are fun and that you enjoy. It can be anything that you like to do, sports, video games, travel, hiking, whatever it doesn't matter as long as there are no drugs or alcohol involved.
If you are receptive to religion, a good youth group can really help. You have to figure out how to reward yourself for your hard work and get back to the business of being a kid. You have two jobs at this point in your life. Having fun and getting an education. That's it. Find a way to do that. You got lost on the road to the fun part and decided that drugs were the way to accomplish that. Drugs just numb the fun as well as the pain. They stimulate areas of the brain, reducing inhibitions and altering consciousness.
Here are some places to go on the net for help. I encourage you to make calls, send emails and seek out help from parents, friends, everyone you know. Your life is worth it! If I could give you a hug. I would. Please know that there are lots of people out there that care and would like to help you.

The first part of getting help is admitting that you have a problem and you just did that,good for you. I am sure your mom will flip out but you need to ask her to help you with your addictions. I am not sure of your age, well whatever age, you know you don't have a long life to life when your on drugs. You need to gain more self confidence about yourslelf and not do nasty things. Regarding the swearing, you need to think before you talk. I am not a physcologist but did take many college classes and it seems that you are reaching out for help. There are many free organizations to help you. Please get help and I know you will feel a lot better about yourself. Life is tuff enough, you do not need the headaches, illness, possibility of jail time, fighting, arguing, possibility of living in the streets, having no food, this is the life of a drug addict. You can do an internet search for help as well, there are many organizations that will help you. Good Luck

Well, first of all if you are scare of all these things you. You already made your first step, and that was saying you need help. Second, thing is to stop being with the person are people who do these things. If you change your play ground you have to change your play mates as well. Now go and talk with someone you trust, whether it be a counselor are your parents, aunt are uncle but someone who want judge. I hope this will help you. Also try some type of activity with the school are your church, if you don't belong to a church join your local YMCA.

You can't do this alone, honey. You need the support and help of those who love you and those who have been through it before.
First, you need to make a promise to yourself, and hold onto that promise no matter what. Tell yourself that you want to live, and not be the junkie on the street corner, meeting an early and painful death because they couldn't stop the addiction. Promise yourself that you are going to live and get better, no matter what it takes.
Second, talk to your mum and a school counselor and tell them you want to beat all these bad habits, but need help. Your mum may be mad inititally, but she's more concerned about taking care of you than punishing you. Tell her if she loves you, to yell later and help now.
good luck!

Emily,
I just answered your other question about teachers, go back and look at what I said there. Go to a teacher or counselor that you trust, they are there to help you. They care about you. They want to see you be successful. Please, find one and talk with him/her as soon as possible because they know how to find the help you need, they are trained in these areas. I wish you luck, you will be okay! Asking for help is the first step.
Take care

Get a new hobby that takes up most of your spare time that you enjoy. Try and get your friends to help you stop smoking and motivate you towards your education.
Asking your friends can be a bit embarassing but it will help.

Find a support group that handles these issues. You can do it, just believe in youself and set a goal and push yourself to achieve it. Don't ever give up on yourself. Good luck.
