i need help
Hilder took the advice right outta my mouth (or off of my keyboard), 420MissHT.
Lest any of you think I'm preaching 12-step treatment for pot here, you need to read her post above carefully and think again. I am not.
You can take steps to get yourself under control even without another stint in rehab, 420MissHT. At least for today. Find yourself an NA meeting and go to it. It's called taking step 1. Then go to another. Then another. Then another. Hit as many meetings as you can get to today, get some phone numbers, and start reaching out to the support that's going to be offered from the recovering people there. This'll help get you away from your self-destructive crowd at the same time, and you already know you need to break from them. If you don't have NA in your community, make it AA instead. Do the same thing tomorrow and over the following days.
Hilder is exactly right. You have to really want to change first, and that's why you need to take the first step. You are in control of the choices you're making, whether you want to accept that responsibility or not. Sounds like you're right on the edge of being ready to make that change, however, if you've pretty well hit bottom again. From a practical standpoint, make sure you cancel your debit card and be on the lookout for identity theft if you lost your SS card. Apologize to your friend and pay close attention when they cover step 9 in your meetings. If you were assaulted or were the victim of a crime in any way, report as much of that crime as you can remember and do what you need to to see about your health.
The power is yours, and you can take it or relinquish it yet again. I hope you'll take it. I know you're capable of doing so![SIZE=\"4\"]\"That best portion of a good man\'s life: his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and love.\"[/SIZE]
