What do u do when u've lost urself in drugs and have been doing it for so many years that u've lost urself, and not kno or remember how to indulge ur interests? How do u break a habit that has been apart of ur life for so long, that is seems to be the only thing u kno how to relate things to?
When u've forgot how to enjoy urself w/o drugs......how do u find urself again when ur broke and all ur friends are drug addicts.....but at the same time u love the drugs so much that u don't want to cut them off completely?????

Once you out of controll, its all or nothing. Took me 38 years to get back in controll. Only you can decide if your out of controll.
Good Luck

they work only if you work.
you can't just do like 3/4 of the program and think you're 3/4 cured. you have to do it all the way and you have to WANT to do it.
You need detox/rehab, support groups, and a psychologist. You need to deal with the physical addiction first... then work out the issues that you're hiding from when you're high.
Might I make a suggestion?
If it's possible, change your surroundings. move to a new town, get a new job. It will be REALLY hard to go through a program and then come back to your home to your old friends and places you know you can score.
You've got to cut out the negative things in your life that cause drug use, and possible relapse when you come back from a program.... even if it's people you are close friends with, and have been for a long time. You'll need to do kind ofa reverse intervention... you know how friends/families always write these notes to the addict? You need to do the opposite with the people who trigger your use. If they're good friends, they'll understand it's best for you to get clean and not be friends with them until you feel you're strong enough to be in their environment and not relapse. if they give you shit about it then they are just being selfish addicts.

By this, he means, you need support. Where there's a will, there's a way... wether your support group is a counsellour at a drop in centre, NA mates, or a girlfriend/puppy/child/workplace, etc. You need to find someone who understands and supports you in your decision to quit drugs and find new healthy ways of living. Understanding is KEY.

This is completely true. New surroundings not only severe contacts and force your to provide for yourself/deal with things in a new way, BUT new surroundings also give you a second chance... If you move somewhere where no one knows your a fucked up drug addict and no one has any expectations of you - you have a 2nd chance to rebuild yourself in a fresh new context. Once you start the rebuild, you will surely feel better about yourself in ways you forgot you could, and that is the start of a new life - feeling good about yourself because of achievements such as job/providing for yourself/relationships, refreshed and/or forgivin relationships with family, etc.
YOU need to KNOW your done with your dope, and your friends in the scene, before you TRY to quit. If you plan on going back to the scene, you WILL slip.
(believe me, im in the same battle but a little furthur along.)
Maybe you could give us some more details?

Support groups work. That's why they have 'em.
And yeah, the surest way to relapse is to be around your old scene.

yes, abandon them all if they all use drugs.
im taking a long ass break from everything(weed, shrooms, cigarettes, alcohol, coffee...everything that i consider a drug...unless prescribed by a doctor) and im hoping that in 6 months ill look back and realize how much they fucked me over for the last few years of my life.
they only way to do this is to fully commit, otherwise you'll be right back where you are and who knows what bridges you'll have burnt.
