You’re probably not technically addicted to it.. you just think you are because it’s banned in your religion, making you paranoid about it.
When I was your age, I jerked 7-8 times a day.
I still do it regularly. It only becomes a problem if you’re hurting yourself physically or it’s pulling you away from other things you should be doing.
I think you should just embrace it. 😀

getting help for drug abuse?
Question by Liliana: getting help for drug abuse?
A little background info: I’m an 18 year old girl and just graduated from high school. I’m working full time during the summer, but i don’t know what i’ll be doing this fall. Might keep working full time, move out, or go to community college, no idea what i want to do.
Here’s the problem.
I’ve been smoking weed for about two years, and at first it helped with my anxiety disorder, but lately it feel like it could be making my anxiety worse. I’ve been a heavy smoker (every single day, many times a day) for the past year. I’ve also been abusing various pills (klonopin, trazodone, darvon, xanax, tramadol, vicodin, seroquel, oxycontin, etc) at least a couple times a week for months. I know i have a drug problem but i doubt i have an addiction to any specific pill, and i wouldn’t have any real withrawal if i stopped cold turkey since i don’t take them every day. I’d just be cranky, completely stressed out and depressed for while. Weed isn’t a hard drug and is not physically addicting, so seeking help for a “weed addiction” just sounds pathetic. I used to have a prescription for klonopin but my doctor stopped prescribing it once he found out i had a history of substance abuse. So, once my current prescription runs out my anxiety is going to skyrocket unless i keep self-medicating. I believe that i could quit if I really wanted to, but i’m scared to actually try since i think i would fall apart. Recently i tried coke and lsd and it hit me that sometime or another, i have to stop. I can’t keep doing this forever. My question is, how do i get help for general substance abuse? Should i go see a therapist? Should i go see my doctor about trying a new anxiety treatment? Go narcotics anonymous meetings? How do i get help for this?

Answer by Carrie Henry
As we say in Narcotics Anonymous…”a drug is a drug is a drug.” Don’t feel “pathetic” for seeking help for ANY addiction.
The best thing for you to do is to seek treatment. An inpatient facility is best, because they will be able to keep you comfortable during your detox process (and you WILL detox, I guarantee it), and monitor you for any unsavory side effects of coming off the meds. You will be able to socialize with other addicts, and get information about Narcotics Anonymous…which is what has kept me sober for nearly ten years.
It sounds like your problem is self-medicating to “control” anxiety. News flash – you aren’t “controlling” anything. You’re just putting in on the back-burner for a while. You need to get to a point where you can handle your problems YOURSELF with the help of a support system, rather than self-medicate. It doesn’t do anything good for you. It really just prolongs the pain.
I’ve been where you are…I know how much it sucks. Please feel free to e-mail or IM me and let me know if you’d like to talk more – [email protected]

Why are american statistics so negative when it comes to blacks?
Question by Anna: Why are american statistics so negative when it comes to blacks?
I mean hopefully some of you know what I’m talking about, but I mean things like, highest drug use, health risks, relationship crisis/abuse, income rates, education and drop out rates etc. I could go on and on. I have finally came to notice that when it comes to these criteria blacks are all ways criticized so negatively. You see I am doing a report on spousal dating abuse for our “No place for Hate” group in our high school so since I have never experienced or know someone that has a history of abuse I started doing some big research. According to american “statistics” black women and men suffer the highest rate of domestic abuse also being that 85% of people in abusive relationships are women leaving the 15% to be men. Now this was only the beginning of my wondering, but school started t up even more. According to the Sex-ED teacher or the books “statistics” we are also more likely to get STD’s. To much information to type up, but I know the biggest one they have against is HIV/AIDS.
But It does not end here, we also have the highest high school dropout rate, in the years 2007-2008 the total dropout rate was 9% followed by hispanics with 7.24%, multiracial with 3.91%, whites with 2.16%, and lastly asian with 1.62%. The same range of ratings goes for Teen pregnancy rates, crime rates, employment, marriage, drug use, more likely to succeed?, even the most ridiculous one, which wasn’t so much a statistic, well not one at all, but more of a poll chosen by people: Results, 1. White 2. Asian 3. Latino/Hispanic 4. Indian 5. Black. I mean it wasn’t just one thing, but it was like diff rent peoples opinions everywhere. Now all I want to know is why the media has to make the perceptions of us so bad. It is not only annoying, judge mental, and arrogant, but for me it is a pretty touchy matter. Living in a world knowing that the world(not all) today has come to think that “Black, African, Brown” whatever you may call it has been taught to be “Bad”. Will those narrow minded people who think so negatively about people like myself ever overcome themselves? It’s just so aggravating because I only wish to live in a world od peace were we don’t have to worry about racism, hurting, and negative stereotypes. Anybody of color feel the way I feel?
