anyone else struggle with substance abuse

[puppyboy]

i'm just curious if anyone else on here has a problem with alcohol/drugs. i've been struggling with substances since i was a teen lol ive tried everything i could get my hands on, i mainly like pills/smoking weed.. i don't use every day but i do use pretty regularly. been taking adderall more frequently, but xanax is kinda the love of my life rn …

i never thought i'd become dependent on anything tbh, but my life is so shit, it feels like the only thing i can turn to. i cannot imagine a life where im sober lmao.

yes. admittedly not majorly. the drug i abused wasn't that harmful so it feels hard to say i abused substances even though i guess it's technically true. but i do still struggle to stop myself sometimes. and lately it feels like the only way to get through the day is abusing some sort of substance all the time. alcohol, weed, prescription drugs, whatever i have all at once. i feel like i'm at the top of a slippery slope with it. but i don't know if i even really care anymore.

TLDR for my message: I used to do harder drugs and now I'm sober and I get u <3
when I was a freshman, I took 2 xans and I felt like nothing special happened, it really just made me not shake my leg. also, yeah, I get your issues man. I have them too. right now I'm California sober, sadly. I just have a crazy vape addiction, I smoke cigars and cigarettes, and I drink. back in the day though, I was on 90mg of oxycodone in algebra, haha. it was bad, I actually punched someone in the face because they told me to go sober. I quit finally, but at this current moment of my life, I would never turn down drugs if I got offered them. I'd do anything right now. I understand you and you're not alone.

Because of tinnitus which is loud and debilitating, I can't sleep, i rely on benzo to sleep which sucks because unnatural sleep-just makes you black out, you don't feel refreshed when you wake up and you don't dream, you just black out, i wish nembutal barbiturate as sleeping pill was still around
