Question

help!!! i was 12 when i started to snort crystal then i started using many different types of drugs i am now 15 and i want to talk to my family about my problem so that they can at least know wat i do and not have doubt in me

Answer 1

They probably do know, like I did with my daughter, it isn't to hard but, I didn't want to hurt her, I wasn't sure.
Her attitude changed, her demeanor, her looks her weight. When I found out, it was to late, the Marshall's office had to inform me.
It was a tough four year ordeal through the courts, her in house counseling and meetings. It took four years and cleaned out my bank account. We had to raise her three kids, she never changed a diaper, I did, she was in prison, we fed the kids and sent them to school, they even started calling us "mom" and "dad", how sad.

It hurt so bad to see these beautiful kids grow up this way.

Now, of course she owns a beautiful Arab horse ranch, has five wonderful kids and has a jump on raising kids and, know what they can get into.

For heavens sake, go tell them. Ask for their help and tell them how much you love them. Give them a hug and a kiss.

Answer 2

Do you want to just tell your family, or do you want support to get off drugs?

By telling them, you will likely be getting them on board to get you to stop using drugs. How effective they are at that will depend on how well they're able to cope with learning how serious your problem is.

Find a time, the sooner the better, when you can start this conversation with one or more of your parents, older siblings, whoever in your family can support you. You can start by telling one person, but don't ask them to keep it a secret, ask for their help in communciating it to the rest of the family that needs to know. Start the conversation when there is time to cope... not right before bedtime or leaving for work.

Be simple and straightforword "I've been using crystal meth for 3 years, I'm a drug addict, and I need help".

Answer 3

if you have the kind of family who will help you then just come right out and tell them.

i never told my family (frankly, they wouldn't have cared so i didn't bother) and not having those people there made it really hard for me when i eventually came off the drugs (i was using meth daily for four years).

i'm now drug free and have been for the last three years.

if you approach your family for HELP to get off the drugs, and not just to tell them you're an addict, then i'm sure they'll give you all the help and support you need.

Answer 4

This is a very big and a very impressive step for you to take. I am proud of you. When you approach them, stay calm no matter what. If you take the drama out of the whole thing it is easier to deal with. Good luck and congratulations on your desire for honesty.

Answer 5

wow.. I'm already impressed, and can tell you truely want their help. Sit them down and just tell them you have a problem and need their help to battle it.
