I never imply that I'm using drugs and even choose my language to make sure that I don't, but people keep telling me I need to stop.  Maybe I just have some messed up friends.

in response to some of the replies, a quest for knowledge in NO way implicitly suggests a person is using drugs or even knows anybody doing so. if a man asks a woman how anal sex feels, does that make him homosexual?\nthe u.s. is scared stupid because of the drug war and all its useless damage. people should be encouraged to educate themselves about anything, including sex, drugs, and rock and roll :P\nfree communication is the cornerstone of a successful democracy.

trust me hun, that not cutting.im a cutter and thats not cutting not even close.\n\n\n just stop the drugs and any other habits that involve being less than sober, then figure out what is wrong with you. is there sumthing that is bugging u that make u upset or feeling like ur less than beautiful and great? if there is then fix the problem. only a doctor can diagnose things like OCD so b4 u say u hav one ask ur doctor to diagnose u, self diagnosis can harm more than anything. just talk to ur doctor. even if ur embarrassed it doesnt matter, u cant b the only one who does it and its not like hes gunna tell everyone, hes not allowed to. chill out and just talk to him.

You are probably self medicating. Maybe you are trying to cope with some kind of internal problem. I know how it feels to not want to go to a professional and get probed with all these ideas that don't help. Try spending time with family away from the bottle. Try to focus on all the good stuff that you do when you are sober and not doing drugs. My father is a drug user and my brother was an alcoholic. I gave my brother support, told him how I felt about his drinking. I told him that I needed him to stop because it hurt me to see him sick in bed, vomiting. I hated having to nurse him. I thought my brother was going to die and I told him that he scared me when he drank and would come home almost passing out and me having to keep him up. I almost lost my brother a few times. He was depressed but I told him how much I loved him. Maybe you need someone to really tell you how it makes them feel to see you drinking or doing drugs. I told my dad that I hated him doing drugs, so he hid the drugs. He is still doing drugs and I told him I wouldn't talk to him or see him until he became clean. Professional help doesn't always do the trick. You need family and a support system. This is the only true way to kick the habbit and feel better. Try little steps. I know not from my own experience but from the experience of my loved ones. They tried professional help and got nowhere. You got to be willing to change before you can change.

Unfortunately you are stigmatized by your past behavior. The best you can do is to surmount your transgressions to atone. This may take the form of education, productivity, healthy relationships, hard work. Regardless of your social standing with your family and friends, you have overcome  your addiction. No one can take that away from you--except you. Don't let the opinion of others taint your realization that you are greater than your past. Live in the moment.

I don't smoke and I feel weird around smokers, but unlike smokers, cursers can't harm you in anyway. Just ignore them or politely ask them to watch their language around you.

If you are taking drugs, stop!! Even then it will take time before the voices stop talking to you. If it's not drug induced then you have a disorder, maybe schizophrenia. And you need to see a phschactric physician for this. Medication will alleviate it. Go to a mental health facility, before your so called friends have you doing something you cannot believe you did.

People say this because they themselves don't even know what the hell they're talking about. They're probably stoned or something. So to make up for their nonsense, they try to throw you a curve by making you agree to know what they're saying. Uh...no, I don't know what yo' sayin', but I sure wish you'd shut the hell up.

From my experience, it is normal for someone to start to distance themselves from those close to them when they admit that they have some kind of problem with substance abuse.  Usually, after people get to the point that they decide to get help themselves or are forced to get help, they feel quite a bit of shame because they are afraid of people looking down on them because they know, especially if they've been keeping it a secret.  If you just be patient with him, he will probably come around, but it is really nothing unusual.

No. It doesn't matter what your friends say. They can't control your life. YOU do. Make your own choices.
