    It's about time

    Hello mates I'm kind a new here and I've been roaming around reading threads about people with the same problem I have and I learned a lot and I also give some advice and I'm also hoping I did help. I myself has some issues in life and one of them is alcohol because I love drinking and it's a habit of mine and I think I'm already alcoholic sort of. Being an alcoholic is not only my problem because I have a bigger issue which drug addiction and its really taking its toll on me. Well I'm kind a embarrass because it's easy to say that your an alcoholic but it's kind a hard to admit that your a drug addict, so now I admit that I'm an addict and I need help on my situation. I've been using methamphetamine for a long time and it started like an upgrade to my daily alcohol intake because I wanted a more stronger high that's why I tried using it. Well at first it was tolerable but now I'm totally dependent on it. I'm currently on california right now and I can't even tell my family that I need help about my situation because I know they will hate me for being like this and I don't want to give disappointment to my family. That's why I'm considering on going to some drug treatment california or anyone here who can suggest other ways to make myself sober like some sort of self medication, It's not necessarily medicine, I'm open to other methods.

    Thank you very much :thanks:

    Hi Marty,

    Welcome. Good to meet you.

    Getting treatment for your methamphetamine situation sounds like a good idea friend. Your central nervous system and body generally must be taking a beating with the alcohol too. You will find drug addiction treatment useful for alcohol abuse too. (Well, they are both drugs). Have you spoken with a doctor about this?
    What is your plan for this week?

    Please keep us posted on your progress friend.

    Best wishes, G bloke.

      Hi Marty,
      Glad you visited the Newbie's Nest. We can help you and encourage you along the way, and we welcome your advice.

      It seems as though you're ready to tackle this problem. I think awareness and acceptance is what it takes and you're there. That's half the battle. I don't know about meth, but can you see a professional for advice on how to get off of that?

      As far as alcohol goes, I do know that just having one isn't for people like us. Staying away one day at a time is a great start, having a plan in place on how to structure your free time or whenever you do your drinking/getting high. What will you do in place of that? There's a toolbox in Monthly Moderation at the top. Read through that as much as you can and decide what tools strike as useful to you. Add your own. We're all the same, but how we achieve sobriety may be different. Good luck, and hope to see you in the nest.
      Sometimes what you're most afraid of doing is the very thing that will set you free.

        Thanks mate

        I haven't talked to my doctor about this because I'm still pulling myself to do that. although I'm moderating my alcohol intake from the time being but meth is way out of my control. for this week I plan to read some of the post here that can help me. I will keep in touch with my progress mate thanks

          yep your right about taking out little by little and I'm doing it now on my alcohol problem but I guess I need to consult an expert about my meth problem. Thanks for the support and I think I'm gonna visit here a lot of times because I really learned a lot from here.

            Welcome Marty! This is a great place to turn to for help and support. I'm glad you are here! I think you will be doing the right thing to consult an expert about your meth problem. You are doing all the right things...keep it up you will never regret being sober or not doing meth.

              Hey Marty. Read, post and read some more. Meth is a tough drug. If you can stop do. If not please get to a doctor. Life is so much better sober. I wish I had more advice.
              I know that MWO helped me change my life. If you read the toolbox, are willing to really work, post daily and remain honest about drinking and using it will help you do the same.
              You sound ready to do it. Go for it.

                Hey Marty,

                I definitely would recommend to see your doctor if you are thinking of getting off both the meth and alcohol - withdrawal can be dangerous for some...and potentially worse.
                It is great that you have come to realize that you have a problem...that's step 1 to a better and more fulfilling life because honestly, life without the drugs and AL *is* more fulfilling.
                I dabbled in drugs in the past and believe that I have an addictive personality...so I just kept replacing one thing with another...to be quite honest, I used to do prescription drugs to a point where I overdosed and ended up in hospital - not good - I have never touched another drug recreationally again - I even have a hard time taking a Tylenol or Advil to this day.
                It's all tough - and you really have to WANT this...it's obvious that you do - and these forums are a fantastic place to start.

                Also, if you could maybe find someone that you could speak with one on one about your issues...maybe a counsellor (addictions or not)...doc, or even talk to one family member or friend of the family - so that you have a little more support...that would be a good idea.
                Support is definitely big...I know that not everyone can get it...I know I've had my issues with that...but if you can...build that support up.

                Good luck - you can do this. Stick around, post lots.

                Bri.

                    Thanks for the support and advice bri and I'm solving all my problem now little by little and one at a time and I'm also planning on consulting an expert about my case but still I can't talk to family about this but I'm sharing these things to my friends although most of them are busy and we only talked rarely that's I make a point that I go MWO to share my thoughts and to find someone to talk about my problems and to keep my self busy and have fun also. That's why I'm very thankful to you guys. Thanks you so much.

                      It's about time

                      Finally

                      Finnally after thinking over the week I decided to make some important decision in my life and that is going

                      to a rehab. Everyone knows that I haven't talk this out to my family but I think it's unfair for them if I

                      don't inform them about my addiction so in the end I pay them a visit and discuss everything about

                      how I came from being and alcoholic and of course going to meth which made my parents shocked but I was

                      surprised that they didn't even scold me or get mad at me. They immediately hug me and thank me for having the

                      courage to talk things out to them which I don't usually do and they think it's their negligence towards me

                      that cause me to do drugs which I don't blame them for. I think it's my own fault and I thank them so much for

                      understanding my situation. My father then ask me if I want to go to a rehab and I told them that's the

                      reason I came there so that I can tell them before I go. With all the careful thinking I decided to pick on

                      California recovery centers that are near to my parents place on which they agreed on because they have

                      plenty of time to visit me. I also want to thank all the people here on MWO for supporting me and giving me

                      advice and I really felt all your concerns towards me and it's one of the factor that gives me the strength

                      and the courage to make this life changing decision in my life.

                      Thank you so much guys I really enjoyed my stay here.
                      I promise I will comeback clean and sober.

                      I will make my parents proud.

                      I will make you proud of me and I will comeback to share my stories again and hopefully I can inspire more

                      people to take the step to sobriety and lead a happy life.


                      See you soon
