[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 558205, member: 59"] Stallin I may have been overly harsh and for that I'm sorry but there are some concerns here. You are obviously an intelligent person and you explain in detail why you want to continue using drugs and which one you use, then you explain in equal detail why you should stop (because your life is a mess, your failing school, the money, etc etc). You say your parents won't send you to rehab so you do more drugs so they will. There comes a point where you have to stop talking and do. You know you need help. An intelligent well read person like yourself knows an addict must stop all drugs/alcohol. Abstinence is the only way. We can argue occassional use all we want but you and I both know the reality. You mentioned that you are going to AA. Do you have a sponsor? You should discuss your feelings with your sponsor, that is what they are there for. You must know that those of us on this forum who have difficult child's who are addicts will have all the same advice for you....get help now, go into recovery, however you need to do that. You don't need to wait for your parents to see that you are bad enough to send you. Are you on your parents insurance? Then call your insurance company to find out what benefits you have. If you cannot find a place with your insurance start checking out sober/recovery houses. This is where a sponsor can help. The members of AA do not recommend AA alone, they know you need help. Most members in the AA meetings I go to are also living in recovery houses and many have been through several rehabs themselves. You know you are an addict and your life in unmanageable. I have little patience for someone trying to talk his/her way out of recovery and that's what it seems you are doing. But I care about you and you are smart enough to know what you need to do, so do it. And then tell us what decision you have made and we will applaud you. Nancy [/QUOTE]
