Today is day 1 for me.
Its so hard because drugs are literally all around me. I cant escape them or just change my crowd because its family and i have no where else to go. I desperately want to live sober becayse i hate who i am on drugs. I see so much potential in myself and i have been failing myself. No more

Dang, what a shame. That is so hard, but you can do it. Stay away as much as you can. Find a detox and inpatient if you can. Not everyone has those resources, but there are online meetings pretty much every hour. There's so many of us which means there is so much support for us out there. Proud of you.
I can't speak on this particular drug, but alcohol is a family disease for me. I relate so much to this in feeling very unsupported by family in my early sobriety. Several of them couldn't refrain from drinking or getting high around me. A handful I don't have contact with anymore because I just can't be around it, and I don't want to be. My recovery and well being comes first. It's been 6 years since the last time that I was drunk.
Fellowship at meetings can be your new family. Sobriety does give you freedom and choices who and where you go. If family can’t considerate to you, why would you feel like you should be to them. Most Family members are sick in some ways just as we are. When the obsession leaves. You can be around it without any desire to do it. But mostly you’ll see that your new interests in a sober life aren’t compatible with the peeps of past.
Welcome to the beginning of an amazing journey! I can relate, it wasn’t long ago I was saying the same thing. 5 years later and if I would have listened to the doubt I wouldn’t be where I am. YOU CAN DO THIS!
