Jared crazy problem

Well My names Jared. I'm 21 years old and I looove to party. I'm the type of guy where family always comes first and I always take their oppion to heart. Drinking isn't really my problem although I love my alcohol. But whenever I party I take ecstacy and its starting to catch up to me. One pill before used to be enough but now I have to take two and a half. My mood is so horrible after wards where people dont even like texting me cuz I'll be acting like such a jerk. I know its bad for my health and theres so many ways that this little pill can kill me but I just like it so much that I keep doing it even when I tell myself not to. My parents recently found out and I feel so horrible for letting them down. I want to stop doing this.

Try not partying with your friends. hang out with them through out the day and make sure they understand that your trying to stay away from all that. Friends play a big role in abusing drugs and alcohol I've noticed that.

I can imagine that voice staying forever. But as long as you have the will power to stay clean and sober I believe you can make it through forever :)

I have a problem with Thizz. I've tried to stop many times but when ever I party I cant enjoy myself unless I'm thizzin. I've tried just not partying but I end up craving it so bad that I still go out and do it. I feel like this little pill is controlling my life and I hate it. My parents found out about it recently and although I'm 21 I care so mucha about how my parents percieve me and I dont want them thinking of me wrong.

Wow it seems like her family helped her out a lot. Thats a pretty sad yet motivating story though.

This has been bugging me for a while but OK like a lot of addicts dont have a lot of money. And are most likely in debt. How can they afford rehab? Does insurance pay for it??

I totally agree with this. But I also believe that they should also be punished for their crimes. Because say an addict goes and kills someone, like they souldn't just be sent to rehab and get away with murder, they should serve jail time and recieve rehabilitation services. Not just for murder tho, hehe, like everything else. Whether theyre charged with assault or robbery or anything they should serve jail time but also recieve rehabilitation services that way when they are back out into the streets they are sober and for good.

"With willpower and hard work addictions can be overcome." I like how you said that. I believe it too!

Do you buy expensive bags like designers? or just normal ones?
Have you tried maybe switching off from your old bags. Like switch them around every week, that way you wont have to buy a new bag you could reuse your old ones untill you really need a new one. Youd save yourself a lot of money :)
