I am a 19 year old male..
I have recently had a bad slope with druge and do not know why... I have always hated them and yet find myself doing the hardest of them the last couple months.

I lost my job, and my dads side of the family won't talk to me... and i just feel horrible about myself. All the people I thought were my friends and would be there to help me have left. I lost a 3 year relationship and I am about 10 000$ in debt and I guess i am just reaching out to some of you that have gone through sort of the same thing...

What did you do to just quit everything?... who did you turn to? .. What kind of things helped you take your mind off of temptation..

I know that there is alot of good advice on this site and hopefully the right person comes along to reply!

Rikk asked what I was wondering, as it would be hard for the o.p. to relate to me if he's using something other than dope.

Well, this little lady started off by going to the methadone clinic, but really that was prolonging everything, so I ended up checking myself into detox, and then going to rehab...

As for the cravings, they are going to haunt you for a very long time.  Well, at least with me, and my drug of choice, they are.  My mouth still starts watering when it shows up in a movie (I will never watch [u)]Requiem for a Dream again!), or I start to itch sometimes thinking about it.  I'm haunted on a near nightly basis by nightmares that are of me using.  It's a daily struggle, and I've not shot up in well over a year...  Chocolate seemed to help me with withdrawls in rehab, but that's not really healthy either...  My family is kind of touch and go.  Some of them speak to me, some of them don't.

Idk, it takes work to build relationships and truat back.  It's not all going to happen right away.  Idk.  If you need someone to talk to, feel free to msg me.

are you hooked on a specific drug?

Rebuild your family relationships, let them know what you told us, then ask them for advice. A good support system (as cheesy as it sounds) is helpful for difficult times like this.
