The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

servingtheking,
You are very wise to realize your addiction, and realize that you need help with it.
My step-daughter, who is really like a daughter to me, has had problems with drugs almost all of her life--since she was 13 years old, and she is now 33 years old. She finally got treatment back in March, and she is doing very well now. But not before almost killing herself by overdosing on drugs.
We are all very happy that she seems to have her life back, but it is very sad that drugs robbed her of 20 years of her life. So I am very happy that you have the wisdom to get off of drugs now!
I will pray for you.
Also, you need to find an organization to help you. Narcotics Anonymous is good. They can give you the support you need and they have a lot of literature on the subject. My daughter went thru a rehabilitation clinic, so maybe that is something you might try.

a long journey ahead
Realisation is the first step, and taking action is the second step, along with heart and hand. I'm praying, don't have much a of an advice though (Auntie's right, seeking professional help would be good), hope you'll pull through with help from God.

You are so young.
I was a full blown alcoholic by the time I was 19 years old.
Admitting that you have an addiction is the first step.
Addiction to drugs or alcohol is a disease. It is a progressive disease that only gets worse if you do not stop. I wasted and cannot remember a good 5 years of my life. I would give anything to have that time back. By the grace of God I am sober and have been for 13 years.
There are many great treatment programs out there and we serve a God who will be with you every step of the way. Ask Him to help you. He will. He knows that you cannot do this alone.
I will pray for you.
God bless you
Roberta

addictions are no respector of age, social class, gender...etc...etc...
From one who once suffered as you do now...
I'll pray you are given strength to face what you must endure.
It does get better....but it's a gradual process.
May God be with you and comfort you in your trials.

I have and still do struggle with many different addictions. The path may seem endless, but through God, the trials you will face will pass by in time. Please keep strong, and get pure! I'll pray for you.

'Christ's desolate heart is in need of comfort'
servingtheking,
may i ask what drugs you are struggling with?
I have too struggled with drug use in my past. I have used many drugs; including ectacy, acid, coke, crack, heroin, special k, pain killers, etc, at some point or another. It was a little phase I went through but i grew out of it. But I've certainly been there. My ex fiance used coke for 8 years. She abused it so much that she had to have surgery on her nose because the wall separating her 2 nostrils had a hole in them. But she turned her life around for God and now is a wonderfull servant of Christ. whatever drug addiction you are struggling with, I highly doubt you feel good after you come down from it. You probably feel guilty, but still do it because of habit. Trust me man, break that habit. You will be blessed in more ways than you can think of by actually taking steps forward in Christ. Where you are looking to fill that hole in your heart with drugs, use Christ instead and you will be filled beyond that which you ever imagined.
