Confused and scared, I need help.

I need help please. I'm 17 years old, junior yr in high school, live with my mom and my four younger siblings, my dads in prison for 17 years, and a crystal meth user. I don't even remeber when I started, but I know it's been more than 4 months ago, till this day. My mom still doesn't know I do meth. I feel like I need it to get through the day. I don't know if it's a sign of addiction?
I ask anyone who reads this, to reply to me.
I'm lost and alone. Anything will help.

Hello dear...yes, it sounds like you have a problem. Especially saying you feel like you need it to get through the day. Meth is HIGHLY addictive and all I can do is beg you to tell your mom or someone you trust and ask them for help.

Welcome to the forum dude. I am an addict also, most of us here are. My heart breaks to here someone so young with their whole life ahead of them destroying all their hopes and dreams and crystal meth is on of the most damaging addictive drugs out there.

Can you talk to your Mom? Are you willing to go for some help? Don't toss your life away PLEASE. You can put an end to this now cause it will only get worse, trust me. Keep talking to us ok, we are here for you man.

OMG....honey.....is there any way your can talk to your mom?  I think she will help you, and you don't need to be doing this alone at all.  How about a school counselor?  Maybe you could talk to them and you could talk to your mom together?  Or a pastor?  I can't stand for someone to be alone and scared!  I just want to come and get you and help you myself! : (  Please tell your mom, ok?

We will help you here, but I want someone to help you face to face before it's too late!  Don't just throw your life away!

If your dad is doing time and is a user then your mom either knows or will know. Using is a BIG problem,,keeping it a secret creates a bigger one and keeps you from getting the help you need. You have younger brothers and sisters,,if one of them had this problem would you want them to face it alone? Listen to what people say here,their not Dr.s they didnt get their info from a book,they"ve lived it. Your young age gives you a great oppurtunity to turn this around,,if not then you"ll be in your 50s wondering wtf happened to my life. gl to ya

Reading your post reminded me of myself at your age. I did coke and meth...a lot. You can break your addiction though but you need help to do it. Please tell your mom or a counselor at school. You are so young and have your whole life ahead of you. I would hate to see you end up in prison as your father has.

Please talk to us here and know you aren't alone in this.

Listen Sweetie,you're not alone. You came here and told us. Now come back and talk.

We'll support you but you have to stop. No question about it. You have no IDEA the damage you're doing.  Stop and move on.

Tell your Mom...trust me...Mom's can handle A LOT !!   Tell her the story and that you want to stop. Have her get on the forum and talk to us,as well.

You won't be sick if you stop now!!  We can help you AND your Mom.

YOur a kid still and we all mess up when we are young,  The great thing about that is you get to fix your life now so your future will be wide open to be what ever you want to be in life,  Hey, maybe you will end up being  a drug counselor or a doctor at a rehab facility.  The point being you can do what ever you want to in life when you are sober.

im 28 years old and i just told my mom about my drug problem.....i was scared....i felt like i was 17 again when i was trying to tell her.....but you know what it was the best thing i could have done.....at first i thought i could do it alone and not let my family know.....but i was wrong......you are going to need the support.....its a lot easier to tell your mom you have a problem when your 17 rather then 28 when it gets so out of control you cant even function anymore....after i told her she was happy i did.....she knew something was going on with me but didnt know what it was.......she was kinda relived it was something that could be taken care of.....she has been nothing but supportive of me......helps me through a lot of the mental aspect of it.....im sure your mother will do the same......after all thats what moms do

[janet19]

Oh sweetie please ask for help. Maybe your mom, a good friend who is not a user, a teacher a counselor, someone in your church. Tell your doctor please just tell someone, you are worth so much more than that. There are lots of reasons to make it through a day and drugs of any sort are not one of them. Listen to everyone here, we are there, been there, somewhere there and it has turned our life upside down. Just think of all the beautiful things you see in your mind and keep them beautiful you are worth that. Please ask for HELP!
