I need some advice on the situation i am in. Im 18 and at college but will not be going next semester bc im being sent to rehab in utah but i feel like im not the type of person who needs rehab. I dont have an addiction where i need it everyday to get by but i have an addictive personality. Im into prety much everything mainly lsd,x,mushies,coke,weed but i know i can stop whenever i want to its just that i dont want to stop now anytime soon defying my parents. but if i continue being who i am i will be cut off ..so do you think that rehab will work or no?
rehab will realy help you think straight, so i'd go. just give yourself a break from your everyday life, and evaluate how your life has been going so far, and the decision to continue drugs or not will be made up at this time. it's hard to take a break from drugs when your not forced to, so i'd go.
if like, like u say, can quit anytime u want, id stop doing coke and x, and keep weed and shrooms on the downlow, and than if u want to once ur out of college u can start again. get an education first though, but that doesnt mean u have to stop, just cut back.
I also came to the conclusion years ago that I have an addictive personality. Whatever I enjoy at the moment, food, sex, pot, alcohol, attention, etc., is over-done and it's all about the instant gratification for me. I've often envied people who went through rehab because they learn to identify these triggers and how to deal with it. You've already figured out you have an addictive personality; so go ahead and go and tell yourself that you're going in not to deal with the drug issue, but to deal with your instant gratification issues. Maybe then it will work for you. Good luck!
so the main reason you are goin to rehab is to satisfy the folks so you wont get "cut off".... and not to help deal with any issues or addictions you may have,,,, can i call your folks n tellum not to bother wasting there money ???
Lol is that the biggest cliche in the world of drugs....I think so, now I'm not talking about you in particular but I have heard that so many times from so many people that I just burst out laughing in thier face whenever I hear it now. It's been so over used as a get out by druggies over the years that it is littered through every made for tv drug movie ever produced. As for being afraid your parents will "cut you off". Well your 18, your an adult, get a job and stop living off mommy and daddy.
yea stiney thanks but uhh i dont think i can get a job that pays over 20 grand a year at the age of 18 for college and since thats not at all possible in the situation im in i dont think i could just leave everything all behind and run out with a different family..not yet strong enough to do that as of now.. if u do know of a job where it can pay for four years of college please please let me know bc i have yet to major in something but i doubt it u do so i think i might still live with the parents..and how do u know if i cant quit if i want to not everyone is the same partner
