Cs this I do the same thing -
Much respect for speaking on your struggles and to everyone who has shown support. The road to recovery won't be easy, but stay with it and appreciate every victory. Try to remember the things you are grateful for, and call on those things to help you through

I'm pulling for you, bruh. Always remember: never give your power away.
Me, personally, I don't have any addictions, but there's a lot I'm going through(looking for employment, about to be on probation in a couple days + a F4 on my record for something I was listed as the victim in, back when I was a STNA, bills being due and not having the money for it), but I don't allow myself to get stressed or depressed. My medicine is training: Monday-Friday, high-volume and very intense. Instead of letting my problems get to me, I just take it out on the weights at the gym- a perfect therapy for me.
I know you can do it, you just have to believe in yourself. -

I get off probation in 13 days lol -
Never been the type to pass my inner turmoil on to others. I feel what you saying but....
My struggles are my struggles and I'd rather share with a qualified audience that is capable to comprehend and honestly sympathize with whatever I'm going through.
I applaud your candid post but these ? aint ? and this site is no place for revelations. -

Sometimes those golden moments happen in a strangers words. -
I'm addicted because I'm depressed
and I'm depressed because I'm addicted -
@Dallas ..... we all either got problems or have had them before to come along our life EVERYBODY, no one is perfect. Just know that im pullin for you to do what ever it is you need to do to get over this, sorry to hear about your potna. I thought I was a failure when I dropped out of college my freshman year.... thought I was a failure to my entire family even though i have relatives who graduated college, i just wanted to make my mom proud more than anything who at the time was dealing with cancer herself.But I was blessed with other opportunities and I was able to deal with that and look past it.
Get the help that you need my brother...and next time you get overly excessive with the drinking, just know you have loved ones that want to see you make it, you're not going to let them down are you? -

Cool, great! but I mean this is the GROWN and sexy section of the forum you would expect and hope to have a mature following to come here.... If anything I will not take one of my fellow brothers sorrow for granted.... internet or personally. -
Dont be an agent of your own destruction. Put the drugs away and face your problems one at a time.
Sometimes things are out of your hand man, and a good practice is to ask yourself if there is something you can do TODAY as of right now to help a situation thats bugging you. If not then kick it and move on. Sitting in the woulda/shouldas too long is going to have you haunted.
Peace and positivity to you.

As an avid weed smoker, i had to put it down.
don't fool yourself into thinking that just because it's weed you can't get addicted.
I'm actually a diagnosed manic depressive and I was thinking about getting on meds, but a part of me refuses to. (I was on them when i was younger and i turned into a zombie ) -

@dallas' 4 eva
Bruh...for 5+ years I dealt w/ somebody in my life who was a bipolar, depressed, alcoholic. Before going through that, I will admit that I was one of those people who looked down on people like that. To me it seemed like they were just weak minded/willed. I could not fathom letting a substance have that much control over me...? did not compute. However, after dealing w/ that person for so long I had an entirely different outlook on their problem. I have stories for days related to that one person and their battle w/ depression and alcoholism. I was there to bail them out of jail when they caught DUI charges, and their underage kids were at home alone. I was there through the nights of getting that call to come pick them up because they were to ? to drive home. I was the one trying to prevent them from committing suicide. I was the one getting cussed out and fighting w/ them when I tried to hide their liquor bottles. I could go on and on and on. I know that it's a struggle fam. You have already made it past the first step of admitting that you have a problem. Now you have to come up w/ a plan to help you deal w/ that problem. Does alcoholism & depression run in your family?
