You said your friends are still using so they are in a good mood. Actually most people who use are not in a good mood. Think about when you used...wasn't always in the back of your mind where you were going to get the next fix? You might be happy for a little while but then a few hours pass or a day and guess what? Yep you need more! I actually feel sorry for your friends because they are going to realize one day that it can't go on forever. It will ruin your life, destroy relationships, drain your money and on and on.
All my best,

i have had job offers but new id fail the drug test. Now..i will be clean and can take a job anywhere i want to =). and thats great thing to know. My mom has been drinking or doing drugs as long as i came remember. the drinking cost her 5 DUI's and alot of jail time. She isnt drinking now but taking 5 xanaxs a day and a few hydro's. and has been as long as i can remember. every day i have been in WD's she has told me to take one..just to cut back and it sounded good at the time..but ya know..she wasnt the one going to be sick or going to lose anything by what i did. The few freinds i have told..have been really great. i have an 8 yr old that literally clings to me and having to spend so much time sick has bothered me..not being able to spend as much time with her..but im glad i did this now.
I know it has to be hard to have your friends doing drugs and you trying to get clean. Just remember your the one that has to deal with YOU.
