Drug Abuse Support Forum

Context: I live abroad, across the ocean, I have always helped my family financially, I've taken care of both my mom and my brother, paid holidays and send money for daily things. So I'm far away and the only thing I can control is how much money I send. The problem: My brother had been a recovering alcoholic for some years, he was doing well, until a few days ago when he was intoxica...

Last relationship was for 3 years. loved her (and still do) so much. Lot of heavy shit to deal with in the early days but we had each others backs. Many happy memories from the early times. Love is the best when it ain't being the worst. It all came to and inevitably. No party to paint as the bad guy and making it simple. Just a painful and long avoided but acknowledged conclusion coming...

guy I am currently committed to revealed that he occasionally chats with his ex. An ex he cheated on me with in the beginning after being together for 5 months, due to a nasty argument. He confessed to me, stating that I deserve better and left me for her. We didn't talk for months after that, he left voicemails stating that he regretted it, stating that she helped him financially at a time ...

I had a wonderful friend. He and I shared everything. He was funny and easy to get along. About a year ago he got a medical marijuana card and it became legal for him to buy a lot of marijuana. He's been high ever since. His personality has changed. He says very little now and is constantly worried about his pot supply. I was going through some things this summer and he couldn't listen t...

Hello I'm Stantza, I came to an advice forum because I have not come across a problem until now that I feel not only distressed by, but also feel an unfounded guilt, sense of responsibility and helplessness for. I'll explain... I love my younger brother with my whole soul. I have always (esp. during childhood) felt the need to protect and defend him with my life. He is at heart a g...

Back in October 2018 my husband started low-t injections and almost instantly he changed from a loving, caring husband to a jerk, insensitivity, quiet man. No matter how many times I try to tell him to stop, he’s answer (and that’s if he speaks to me) is that he will not stop.. not sure how this can be legal, for physicians or whatever kind of people that work at those low-t centers to be in...

Where do I start? I'm 15, male and a mess. Maybe the fact that I've been kicked out of school for the second time, for smoking weed before school. There's also this guy I like, (well, liked) who showed people the texts I sent him which were meant to be private. I have also been using heroin since everything has become so much worse than before. I'm not addicted to it and just t...

Hello, I have a problem. I recently found out that my wife is on drugs. I have always felt that drugs are some thing that would never come between us, because I felt we were beyond it. now I feel that I have been foolish. She has been burning through cash for several months, spending thousands of dollars that she hasn't been able to account for. We almost lost our home before I cut he...

Ok so I'll start off with a little back story... I been friends with this guy for a while, 4 years almost... nice guy. We met at work, at the time he was getting over a break up, 6 year relationship and I had my own relationship problems. That's really how we bonded... I never showed any interest in him nor he with me, he was on and off with his girl. Anyway we got really close, st...

My husband and I are both in our early 30’s. We’ve been married for two years, together for 5. He is an amazing man…very hard working, loving, attentive, and lots of fun. He owns a very successful business with his father and it affords us a very comfortable lifestyle. I also have a new business (that he backed financially) that is doing well, but still growing. I would not be able to de...

I have been drinking and doing drugs since I was 14. Now I don't think I am a drug addict. I have yet to have a problem with any one drug but I am starting to think I have a problem with being high. I don't drink or do any drugs every day but a good majority of my off days. So far how it happens is I will get into a drug for awhile then stop doing it but then I will find a different one...

I have been dating a guy for three years and last week he asked me to marry him. I have not said yes or no as I told him I want to think about it. Every three months he gets drunk and then he will resort to using drugs "to make him sober". I have repeatedly told him I would leave if he does it again, but he disregards these warnings and has done it twice now since I said I would leave. ...

I'm 23 and my brother is 18. A year ago, before I was about to give birth to my first child my husband was laid off. Ever since then, we have been struggling.

I am beyond frustrated with my husband and my stepson. He's 16 and ever since he came to live with us, he has caused nothing but drama. He uses drugs and because of his drug use, he was kicked out of the previous school he attended. He's now attending school here and he's still using. He has stolen from us to buy his drugs. His dad and I have even caught him in the act of doing the ...

Hey There! I need some advice or help or something (I don't really know!). So, last year I tried marajuana for the first time, that was rather uneventful. I didn't really like it, but I also didn't hate it. After doing that for 6-9 months I was given the opportunity to try Es. I loved them, it was the first time I was happy in literally months (Suffering with depression). After g...

Hello friends, I'm looking for some good advice and guidance when it comes to supporting a former addict, who happens to also be a family member. She does not live with me but will, every now and again, visit me (out of her state). We talk often and I think she's on the right road to recovery (over a year sober)... However, I want to make sure that I am doing everything that I can to...

Hi, We got married really quickly, within a year of meeting. My wife has been struggling with a metamphetamine problem on and off for about 15 years prior to us meeting. I have not been able to help her stop completely, and it has been the cause of much conflict and unhappiness within our marriage. Now she is being treated and things look positive for the first time in a long time. My concern i...

Hello to all of you. I'm in my late 40's and have been a "dope head" since I was 16. I am horribly addicted to it and it has caused me major problems at work, at home and with my health. The time has come to let it go but I know it's going to be difficult especially when I'm dealing with a great deal of uncertainty and issues that have come about because of my ad...

I wasn't letting him in the house...

But of back story: we have a group of friends we have hung out with for several years. We all hang out and drink regularly but drugs were never involved. A few years ago a guy joined our group who has a prescription to Adderall. Now our friends regularly take it in order to stay up until 6-7am and drink all night/morning. My husband did it a few times and after a few discussions where is voiced my...

Hi I have been with my boyfriend for 7 years and we are due to get married next year. Only problem is he smokes weed ever day and I hate it. His argument is he has a good job (over 40k) so the weed shouldn't be an issue to me. I also have a good job on nearly 30k so we have a promising life ahead of us. My issue is I can't live with the fact he may still smoke weed when we have kids. He ...

I had been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder when I was 17. I have been in and out of rehabs since. I got into drugs and life was getting worse till I was 23 and got into a rehab for 6 months.

My boyfriend and I have been together for almost 6 years now. In the beginning of our relationship, we were very young. We were still in high school. At that time he introduced me to marijuana, which I liked very much. He and I smoked it quite a bit but we always had great times together. My opinion of cannabis is that it is okay to be used once in a while. As long as you are not dependent on it, ...

Hi my husband and I have been together for 15 years. He has always smoked the strongest weed that you can get. He has periods of abstinence in which he is becoming increasingly violet and scathing towards me. We have 2 boys aged 8 and 9.

My fiance was a strong marijuana addict when he was a teenager. He ended up in hospital due to heart attack and also he was under more risk because his dad´s side of the family suffer from heart problems.

My drug use physically gets me out of bed in the morning where I have enough energy physically to take a shower and get dressed. A lot of the times this is a chore.
