hello, i come to this message board in search of advice and guidence. im having a rough time in life right now and im doing things i havent done in years. when i was about 15 i used to experiment with drugs, mainly cocaine and ecstacy... i stopped because it gave me severe anxiety and i generally felt guilty about doing drugs knowing my mother was a drug addict and committed suicide because of it...im 22 now and lately i have been experimenting with drugs again, knowing deep down inside i dont want to be that person that i used to be...but i get so caught up in the party scene and wanting to have fun and meet new girls...i just genuinely want to be liked i want to be cool, i want to be popular...sure i had a great time tripping on MDMA last night but now i just feel like such a low life...ive learned this lesson already and i cant figure out why i am putting myself through this again...i know that i am not a person that should use drugs, i also know im a different person when i drink...once i get drunk, im willing to do drugs that i wouldnt do if i wasnt drinking...which leads me to this point, just trying to vent my feelings and try to find the right words...i know this may all seem like a random blurb but im just trying to formulate how i feel right now...obviously i know i have to stop doing drugs for good this time, and im thinking about quitting drinking for good as well...just looking for some encouragement and positive feedback, i know im not the only one that has been down this road

Thanks for sharing honestly. NA is a program for people who have a problem with drugs. The first step we take is to get honest with ourselves and admit that we have a problem with drugs. You must decide for yourself whether you have a problem with drugs. If you think you have a problem, trying going to some meetings. You will find lots of experience, strength, and hope there.

You sound confused.
NA may be able to help you.
You see, the disease of addiction is not just about being a junky, it's about the compulsion to do things even when we don't want to.
If you do things that make you unhappy with yourself, yet you keep doing them in spite of that, then going to NA is probably for you.
Good luck, and let us know how you are doing.

The moment I started being in uncomfortable with my using, I knew I have a problem. And opening up about it and asking help, it's the best thing I could have done. Right time, right place. NA meetings and recovering members can help a lot in staying away from drugs. Please try a few meetings around where you live. Get to know a few members there. Doing this changed my life. Thank you for sharing, best wishes and fellowship hugs.
