Anyone who has an addiction problem needs to trust there heart. I know that you know you have a problem. Even if your user friends say that you don't you know you do. Check with your local na or aa. It will be a hard decision but one well worth it. Also, read a lot about it, get totally informed on your addiction. Tell everyone that you know and watch the love and support and prayers come in. You will be very surprised. Remeber that you choose to use and you can choose to stop and you cannot do it alone. You need support. You need encouragement and most of all you need to talk about your problems. You have been stuffing them for a long time now. It is time to face them. You will be happier. It will be hard but isn't getting you life back worth it? Do you really want to hit bottom. You eventually will if you don't stop. It is a proven fact. Do you think that winos were just weak individuals? No they were problably just like you and then their disease progressed. Please, anyone get clean. You deserve an awesome life. This is the only one that we have and we might as wll make the very most of it. Good luck. If anyone needs to talk you can email me at cgubler@galton.com.
