I Need Some Help!
Posted: 01-02-07 15:04pm

Ok so it all started in mid 11th grade when my friend offerd me these 2 30 mg adderall xrs at school in the morning and ask if I wanted to try them . I asked him wat they did and some other people and all they told me was that it makes u feel mad good and u do liek all ur work and have fun doing it . So I was thinkin how could that be fun ? So I poped thr 60 mgs thinkin that nothin rly was gonna happen , until about 30 mins and I felt so amazing I was talkin like a milllllllllion miles per hour movin around basicly had a great day. I started usin it like once every 2 weeks or so which lead to my ciggerate addiction. Started smokin pot a lot like everyday and then I got prescribed adderall thinking I would only take the recomend dose and itl help me start doing better agian . That worked untill summer time where id dmoke pot every day take at least 30 mgs of addy every day and sometimes id pop some extra her eand there everythig was goin ok until school this year started I messed up my 1st quarter avg cause I enver did work cause I was stoned all the time and then I told my mom I didntwanan take adderall any more so she stoped getin the prescribtions but there was still a lot of pills left aroud nthe house anyway so for the past 3 months I have been smokin pot like everyday, gettin shitfaced drunk at least 2 times a week and going on like 3 day adderall binges like 80 mgs at a time or more every week . Hmm letss see I did extasy 3 times in the past 3 weeks , usaly when I dont take my adderall now I do other things like vicodin or somthing which is bad and I feel bad . Al lthe extra adderalls are gone so for the past 3 days iv been taken some ritalin but that sucks its nothing like my adderall all ritalin does is make me think everyoens out to get me and makes me feel really nervouse, and all my moms ativan is gone as b/c iv been using those to get to sleep after a day on adderall. Nothing is the same any more , I wish I could be how I was in 9th and 10th grade , happy all the for normal reasons be bale to laugh and liek really mean it , nothing does it for me any more I have no future im never happy and I need some help from u guys or somthin show me that im not a lone or give me some advice plssssssss the deppression makes living suckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

Dutchmaster you said… “nothing is the same any more”

that may be more true in that statement than you realize. We put ourselves on the other side of how it used to be in our lives with our drugging and drinking. And we can’t go back to the way it used to be. We have to move forward. There really isn’t anything else.

The old you is in the past, the new you is what you need to focus on. In order to get on with your life without chemical augmentation, you will need to do some things you may not want to do. Your friends aren’t going to get you clean, they can’t. If they are using, they are like poison to you. Stay away from active using. Find a new set of people, like you, who are trying to stay clean just for today.

Try looking in the rooms of alcoholics anonymous or narcotics anonymous. There are people who understand exactly where you are right now, and moreover have a program in their lives that offers hope. Just show up and audit a meeting or two. Listen to their stories and see if what they have may be applied in your life.

What do you have to lose?

I remember when I couldn’t imagine life with the drugs of my choice, and I couldn’t imagine life with them either. I was screwed! That my friend is the stepping off point. When it gets bad enough, we will make any deal with the devil to make the pain stop.

Just remember dutch, nothing changes until something changes. If you change nothing about your life, you will keep getting what you are getting right now.
