wh do people still on drugs get all the attention?

Question

I MANAGED TO QUIT DRUGS AND I FEEL BRUSHED ASIDE AT MY SUPPORT MEETINGS

Answer 1

Hi,
The reason that comes to mind is they need way more help then you do right now. But instead of feeling like the king of the world for quitting, you feel shoved aside, not important, not worthy, your having feelings of why did I quit in the first place, what was the point, what for? If anything, at the beginning of each of the meetings, they should hoist you up on a chair & carry you around the room & worship you for your bigger then life accomplishment!

Just think to yourself each time you enter that room from this point on you can say to yourself, you know what I am just a little better then everyone else here, because I managed to stop one of the most evil habits ever known to man!!!!!!

Every person like you should be written about, or talked about or worshipped like famous celeberties except that this is the real world we live in which is so _ _ _ _ _ _ up.

I was never a user until after my brother got me to try meth just once. I was 23 & thought myself ammune to **** like addiction. Of course I thought like that because I had used
cocaine or weed on separate occasions (about 5 or 6 times each) at different times in my life. I was able to use the drug, have fun then go to bed & wake up the next day not wanting more of any type of drug.
No wonder I thought I was better then everyone else.
I also tried acid on a number of occasions but didn't like seeing things that weren't there! That cured me of that drug real quick! As for extasy, it wasn't that bad but I didn't like what it did to my back, (previous car accident) (prior back problems)... Need I say more!

What you should do now that you've quit & (hopefully you stay that way,) is maybe counsell or at least lecture or speak out in schools for elementary kids or teens or even parents who don't know the signs to watch for in drug use.

Use your knowledge of your life experience to help others gain some knowledge as what to do in a simular situation.

All you would have to do is go up on stage, tell your story & wait for the questions to arise. So much easier said then done! Huh?
Hopefully you can take what you've learned & pass it on to someone in need of your help or advice. Wouldn't that be the next best thing to brag about?
You quit,
You tell your story,
You help others,

What would be next for you? Who knows the skies the limit when you preserve it!

Any tips you have please email me at [e-mail]
Any & all would be appreciated!

If ever your sitting there & the thought crosses your mind, think of all the things you've accomplished since you quit & what a waste it would be just to throw it all away for some enlightened fun. Its just so not worth it.

I always think about what if I had just said no just that once to my brother? I know that more then likely I never would have been presented with that opportunity ever again, but ultimately it was my choice, my decision, myself standing there saying yes to something so unknown to myself.

That was & still is the biggest mistake & worst decision I had ever made in my life. Til the day I die, this will probably be the worst decision I had ever made.

Anyways,
Good Luck My King of the world,
Nicole

Answer 2

Wow everyone is being so harsh! You need to be encouraged to continue in the sober path but with the comments you've gotten that might be hard. Remember your sobriety depends on YOU, whether you're being lavished with attention or not. At the end of the day it's all up to you and your choices. Does it suck when you feel like others are getting more than you? Hell yes but now is when you will prove to yourself how strong you really are, and not use these feelings to turn back to drugs.
Good luck and stay strong.

Answer 3

What a whinner! You can not be serious. These people are in the fragile step of recovery. You have already mastered this step and succeeded in staying sober. Quit whinning about the lack of attention you are receiving and start supporting those who realy need it!

Answer 4

I see that you still think its all about your needs being met. Now, instead of being addicted to drugs you are addicted to attention. Let's see you kick that one....
