I'm 16 and I'm an addict?

Question

No one has to answer or read this I just need someplace to vent. I'm 16 and i'm already addicted to booz and drugs. Almost no one knows, and the ones that do don't know how far i've fallen. I try to stop but can't. I keep telling myself this is it this is my last joint my last bottle of Vodka but the next weekend its the same thing. I'm still an honors student but lately i can't pay attention. I can't tell anyone and I don't know how to get help. I have the best parents anyone could ask for, I have everything I could want and more but It seems like I just can't put the drugs and the alcohol down. At first it was just a good time with friends, and now i'm addicted and I think i'm going to hit rock bottom.

Answer 1

If your afraid to get help from your parents... and afraid to get help from a counselor you can always try it yourself.. just keep saying NO.

I know how hard it is to turn yourself around... I know how much it hurts to keep going on with your life at this rate and believing that it will all go away

Thinking: what if tomorrow I don't exist and the drugs leave me int he hospital with liver poisoning and I'm dying and ****... I got the chance to have that life I always wanted.. I didn't get to find a beautiful girl and get married and have children.. I didn't get the chance to live my life to the fullest because the drugs had taken over my body and my mind.

All you can do is turn to yourself in the mirror and see what you are inside you. Answer yourself a loud.. who do I want to be? What do I want to accomplish.

If thinking about the worst isn't working and you have tried all in your power.. tell your parents... tell them you have a drug and alcohol problem.. I'm sure they will do what it is they can to help you.. especially if you are coming to them for the answer and for the support.! And if you are willing to get the help you need! They wont turn you down... they will be rpoud you came to them and told them the situation before it got worse and ruined your life forever!

Good Luck and Best Wishes...

Youre already taking the first step: Noticing you have a problem!

the second step is asking for the help!

Be Strong! and no matter what any of those liquor bottles say and no matter how good that weed smells... just turn around and face the world! there is a whole lot out there that it has ot offer... Spread your wings and FLY!

Welcome to bitter reality. The fact that you've always had everything so easy - great parents, easy marks - has created a void in your life. You're filling it by getting wasted and blazed as hell every single weekend.

Is there a way out? Yes, there is, but it's probably more work than you have willpower for. You have to destroy all your booze and weed (and whatever else you might be using) and anything associated with it, like pipes, bongs, shotglasses, etc. Forcibly remove yourself from the environment where you're tempted to drink and smoke - don't go to the parties, and avoid stoner friends like the plague. Yes, it will be the toughest thing you've had to do yet, and probably for a long time to come, but if you pull it off you might find yourself on the other end of the tunnel, clean.

So get your **** together, son. You've got a great thing going for you. Your life is a dream - stop turning it into a nightmare. Man up.

I am asking you please to tell your parents about your problem.
I know that they love you with all there heart, and I am sure they got a good idea what might be going on but not sure until they find out it is to late. Then by that time they are completely devastated and heartbroken that they could not attempt to help you get over your problem. I seen this situation unfold from start to end. The person that has the problem was my cousin I was his Uncle. He died from alcohol poisoning and hardly any brain activity from smoking weed. he was 15 years old. I still miss him :-(

he started taking beer and weed where he could get it at 12 years old and leaving the house at night when ever he could to steal beer or weed or what ever. he was caught a lot of times by the police and sent to (lock-down) and then to AA for 45 day lockup which was a place that did not let him go out alone or see anyone only on Sundays at a table for 4 hours
no books, no music that was about it but he was monitored with 30 other inmate kids and all stayed in a small cell

I thought he would wise up from that but he did not he started doing harder drugs and started injecting any and all things he could find he was in the hospital a lot of times near death Tore me apart each time until this October. I just wish you well...

Answer 5

Tell your parents. They can help. Trust me. Im 20 years old and I tell my mother everything still to this day. She has helped me in every problem. Sometimes she was a little mad at first, but in the end she loves me and helps me. Dont seek help from strangers or peers. If youve been blessed with good parents then utilize them. Your honors and good grades wont last for long so they are bound to find out eventually. Why not tell them now.

Answer 6

You need to tell your parents. Tell them that you have a problem and that you need help. Tell them that it has gotten out of control and you don't know what to do. Then tell them what it is. You need professional help to get over this and they will know where to get it for you. Do not delay this any further. Tell them now. Realizing that you have a problem and asking for help is a big step. It is easier than you think. Just say it and go from there. Good luck to you.

Answer 7

if your parents are soo great then talk to them about it and ask them to schedule you an appointment with a guidance couselor at school or somewhere else. before you go too far and have to end up in rehab or have to take daily antidepressants from all of it. I have family members that started young and now they take anti-depressants because they are alcoholics/drunks whatever you want to call them. they tell you nothing is wrong but you can tell that they are sad/depressed lonely. all of the above.
you should seek help from your family.
good luck!!
and i hope i helped!

The fact that you have thrown this statement to the wind already shows that you are ready to do something about your problems.

A lot of people are in the same boat as you but never say so. Not even on the internet where annonimity is almost gauranteed.

Find someone to talk to. They may not be able to answer you but you need someone to listen.

Good Luck Lola......You have already started to do something about it.

Answer 9

been there done that. the only thing groovy i was not studying. don't bother speaking to the person or persons your doing it with,they wont help. my advise, dob yourself in to the oldies,try to distance yourself from the trippers,finish your studies then see what going on with the ones that did not stop like you have. then make your choice, if you have an addictive nature(believe me a lot have) kick around kool people that don't. you wont regret the long term outcome. p.s. i wont say good luck because i believe you make most of it yourself in life.

Answer 10

Just tell your parents to read this. That way, you will be telling them everything without having to say a word. Then, you all can go from there.
