It takes a lot of strength and courage to ask for help. I’ve been in your shoes. I don’t know if you have done any research, but I suggest you begin to educate yourself on the disease of addiction. You may want to start out either with AA, NA, or perhaps MA. We are all the same, but they relay the message in different ways. AA may be a bit awkward as it was written 90 years ago, and can be difficult for younger people. NA reads much easier, but you may not identify as well with hardcore drug users. MA (marijuana anonymous), while not as well known, may land better on your ears. Like I said, it’s all very similar, and we all suffer from the same problem. I think it’s important you begin to see what you’re dealing with. You are not a bad person. You’re probably just struggling with the illness of addiction. It’s pretty scary in the beginning, but recovery is incredible. The journey to get where you are today is hard. Time to start your recovery journey. There are other recovery programs as well btw.
