Hi. My name is Chelsea. I'm 18 and I'm addicted to just about anything I can get my hands on. I use drugs to cope with my Agoraphobia. I'm not sure I want to get clean. Drugs help me feel comfortable. I'm also addicted to food. I suffer from compulsive overeating. That is one addiction that I would love to kick in the ass.

Hi, how are you doing? You remind me so much of my daughter except the agoraphobia. She loved any kind of drugs also. She has grown up a lot now and is 28. The biggest part of drug addiction is the fear of not having them. Fear of feeling bad and sick. You are so young, do you know what you want to do with your life? Time goes by so fast.

Please consider rehab before your habits get worse. You don't want to get to 28 and still be an addict with no life. Please think about it. Are you getting treatment for your agoraphobia and overeating? hugs, jen

Nah. I'm definitely not going to rehab. I don't want to be sober. I just want to do things in moderation. IDK. I really enjoy drugs. And I'm a hippie. So I'm surrounded by them.

Yes, my daughter thought she was a hippie to. Just because you hang with them doesn't mean you have to do drugs. You say moderation, but before you know it you will be hooked.

Do you have job? What do you want out of life? hugs, jen

Drug addictions totally suck the life out of you. I wouldn't be hee in this group as a Group Leader if I had kept doing drugs. It makes a stronger person t kick dependance, and if you don't WANT to get sober, what ARE your plans? Stay high all the time, running out of means to find the next high...let ppl use you, ( and baby they WILL ) the longer you take in deciding...the more you will feel you NEED it ( drugs ) or ust not ready to stop the "fun"..and I say that with great reserve,) the harder it will be to clean up and do something usefull and self supporting yourself. Don't you want to grab better oppertunities than jus sitting around getting high? Letting drugs diminish what knowledge you do have, is there nothing else you want to do? Drugs rot your brain, you flesh ages you faster than normal, and you may think you are one cool chick but you are not. I don't mean to sound harsh, but sometimes we gotta. I wish I could help you.

Frenchi, harsh can be good sometimes, it opens other peoples eyes. When your getting high, you really don't have any friends. I think 18 is a good age to grow up, get out, and be responsible for yourself.

I am glad you feel that way too. I am praying for you and your family. I can't believe the nightmares I put my family through. and the serious nightmare that left me for dead, God has plans for me, for everyone.

ppl don't need to give up on themselves and cop out with drugs...all they need to do is Pray...ask, show that they are willin, and thou shalt recieve. Take care DearHeart

As a Mother, it's just so hard for me to hear that someone is doing all kinds of drugs and say they like them and don't have any intention on quiting. If people just knew how self-distructive they are and how much it hurts other people in their life, maybe they would think about

getting help. jen

unfortunately, hind site is 20/20. and realizing this can cost lives.

if you are hooked..and don't care to do anything about it, you are aleady dead. The only thing that keeps you going is the damned drug, and it's because it is controlling you. what kind of life is that????

it could be a short one.

It not only cost your life but the lives of the people who love you. They would always feel guilty that they didn't do something even though you are the one who made the bad choices. Drug addiction is not something funny or something to be proud of. It hurts everyone.
