I am a Drug Addict and I Need Help

I am a drug addict because the drug controls me, I cannot control the drug. I am a drug addict because the drug means more to me than the people I love. I didn’t intend on becoming a drug addict, but it did happen and now I need to do something about it. I’m scared and I don’t want to admit that I have a problem, even though I do. I need help because breaking free of this drug is going to take more than just me wanting to be better.

I am a drug addict because my drug of choice is the first thing I think drug-addict-depressedabout when I wake up and the last thing I think about before I go to sleep. I need help because I cannot stop myself from wanting the drug or thinking about it. I am a drug addict because sometimes I do things that are against my true nature. I may steal or argue or even become violent. I need help because the drug controls my mind, body and spirit.

I am a drug addict because I made a choice to try this drug and very soon, it got the best of me and I couldn’t stop. I need help because I keep needing more and more of the drug to feel satisfied. I am a drug addict because my entire world revolves around my drugs. There is nothing or no one that comes before my addiction. I need help because I am pushing away the very people who care about me.

I am a drug addict because the drugs are now affecting my health. I need help because eventually, the drugs will kill me. I am a drug addict because I cannot be trusted with money. To me, money is for buying drugs. I am a drug addict because everyone keeps telling me I am. I need help because I don’t or don’t want to see it myself. I am a drug addict because I am not the same person I was before I started using and I need help because I miss the old me, and so does my family. I am a drug addict because the only time I feel alive is when I am high. I need help because I want to know real happiness again and not one that comes from a bottle or a pipe.

    Hello boy and girl..!
    Ya… I had been a Meth addict…
    I started doing Meth at the age of 16 and I has been addicted to meth for 2 years. Before that I had heard about Meth from my Fr, my guy..But I never thought that I would ever put it up in my mouth, felt it and addicted…

    The first time I ever tried Meth was one day I had some problems with my teacher, my mother and my health…Every thing was wrong and I felt my life had been collapsed…I felt so sad ..Then I use it everytime I had fallen down, day by day… Next, it became my choice when I wake up and the lastting I think before I go to sleep..Meth had been affected my health strongly and I can’t control it….I used…go on used ..All my money had “burn” for Meth….Sometime I used Heroin to change my felling and to cool off my drug hunger..

    Once time, When I tried to do Meth, my vein ruptured, I fallen, fainted..Might I see the death…Then I wake up in the hospital, some thing was wrong with my health, the doctor said that I might be died. I was so scaried, very scaried, but I continued to use it. Because It give me a few peaceful minutes, some thing happiness and warm felling. And…Some where in me thought “I hope you die”..Nothing is valuable to me..Fr, Fam, School…So wanna die, so want….

    But I did’t want to die easily like that, so I tried to get over it and come back with real life. I thought I will die in a “Life Battle” but not die by Meth..I got involved between my acting and my thinking. Then My lungs was being worse, I got pneumonia..So hurt and I was so worry…The doctor said me to chose DIE by Meth or LIVE with a really life, and I decided to stop it, I thought “I can kick it” and tried to kick Meth out my brain..

    However, It was so difficuty because I had slaved Meth. It control my soul, my spirit and my body…I must spend many times, many determinations on giving up Meth…

    And now I am a normal girl, no Meth, no cigaretter, no addict..Sometimes I smoke cigar but NO meth or Heroin…It is no worth using meth and paying your future for anonymous felling. It may be give you something fly, something crazy. Give you every thing you want..But it doesn’t give you happiness, good heath, and really laughs..GIVE UP it like me and come back with our lìfe..Plz….!
