So, the reason to be dead set on wanting to stop using, instead of just needing a few day vacation with the intention of going back out to get high again, is that for many parents, they will start to see it as crying wolf instead of truly needing help. For a lot of people, this means going to rehab or 12 step fellowships like AA and NA, and if you don’t truly believe down to your bones that you are ready to stop, then the process won’t stick.Ī lot of people will come to a place in their using career when they run out of money, or don’t have a place to stay, and will ask their parents for help, when they are really only looking for a warm bed, a hot meal, and a possible loan, especially if their parents are naive to what addiction looks like. The importance of knowing truly to yourself if you are really ready to stop is that it will put you into a place of willingness to actually go through with the process that follows.
#You are my addiction crack#
I realize these questions sound cheesy, but I’m sitting here writing this, as living proof, that someone who was once a heroin shooting, crack smoking, pill popping, molly eating, cocaine sniffing, alcoholic CAN get clean and sober, and so can you. Have I gotten to a point where I don’t even care if I amount to anything, so long as I can continue to use drugs and alcohol?.What are some of the consequences that I’ve experienced from my using?.Once I pick up a drink or a drug, do I use until oblivion or blackout?.Have I tried to stop in the past, but find that I am unable to do so?.So, if you are wondering if you have hit bottom, and are addicted to drugs, ask yourself these questions: This happens pretty quickly for those of us who abuse drugs and alcohol, especially when finances, consequences, and relationships all start to go down the tubes. So what is it? Most people have heard the phrase, “hitting rock bottom” and understand that it pretty much means, your life can’t get any lower than it is right now. What those of us who are clean and sober call, a bottom, is this vital key to stopping addiction and getting sober. Here are some things to keep in mind before doing so. If you have come to a point in your drinking and getting high that you damn well know that you have a problem, then it’s time to get help. There’s really no easy way to have this discussion, no use in beating around the bush, and no point in trying to continue putting it off. And to be honest, it could go in one of three ways, they can be super supportive, they can be super angry, or they can wonder why it took you so long to realize they’ve known about it the whole time. So, the time has come to talk to your parents about your addiction, not necessarily anyone’s idea of a “good time”.
