[QUOTE="Praecepta, post: 687844, member: 20025"] It seems to me that there is a key time of growing up (around age 18), where there are suddenly all sorts of "adult" problems and stressful situations to deal with. I went through that period of my life without using any alcohol or drugs and learned to deal with these problems by coming face to face with them - thinking about solutions and choosing the best course of action. Or in other words - deal with it! And I have noticed other people who used drugs/alcohol during that age are now forever hooked on using. That is their solution to solving problems. I don't know if this applies to your situation or not, but if it does, perhaps the best thing would be an inpatient facility where you can't use anything and at the same time receive counseling to help you learn to deal with life's difficulties without the use of drugs/alcohol. Or an outpatient program which would constantly give you drug tests and also the counseling. Note I do not use drugs or alcohol. I also don't hang around with people who use drugs or alcohol. So that is another thing - get rid of "friends" who are druggies and start hanging around non-drug users! You can find non-drug users in volunteer groups, churches, walking their dogs in the neighborhood, doing physical activities like hiking, walking, etc. They also eat at restaurants where alcohol is not served and go to entertainment places where alcohol is not served. Anyway the above is from a person who does not use drugs (me), maybe my suggestions will help you, maybe not. It is all up to you! [/QUOTE]
