Close Marijuana Addiction & Recovery
I was never a hardcore smoke weed ALL DAY everyday goer, however i did smoke everyday,& it was just at night.I realized i depended on weed to give me a great nights sleep.During the day i keep myself busy,i don't even think about smoking, but as the night rolls around i get ansy, When i try not to smoke i end up staying up until 3 sometimes 4 in the morning.So Far I'm 3 days sober, its tough but i'm still trying &keeping a clear mind drug free! I wish the best of luck to anyone trying to quit!

Close Families & Friends Of Addicts
My mom has been using speed for over 20 years, i live with her and my grandma, there are so many rough days, but im taking it one day at a time with al-anon/narconon and with my own sobriety! Still working on my resentment issues.....
Treatments
- Al-Anon Working / Worked
- Since i have started going to meetings, its given me great comfort. KNowing that i'm not the only one in the universe going through this helps me get through the day. I realize that there are other people out there with simialr issues, even worse isues than my own. It makes me grateful for what i have, and honestly i can't see how i can live a happy life without it..
- Patience Working / Worked
- Al-anon has taught me patience, and to realize that my mom has a sickness. I must be patient because her mind is not on the right track because of the the drug abuse. Sometimes i'm not as patient as i should be, but it's something i want to improve..
- Talking Working / Worked
- Talking to people has definitely helped me in numerous ways, it matters who i talk to, there are some people who feel akward and just dont understand, to a point where they feel soo sorry that i live with an addict. With the right people who give the right advice, talking really helps me. Talking to therapists and also those who go to Alanon give me a great deal of comfort.
- Writing Somewhat Helpful
- Writing is not something i do as often as i used to, but i know that it does help. I think that it helps me organize my thoughts much better, but at the same time i can ramble on paper, and then i don't make much sense of anything....

Open Healthy Eating
I have a really strange diet, and i have picky taste buds, even though i try not too. Because i don't eat fruit (long story) i lack essential nutrients to give me a healthy body. Getting healthy is something i always think about but never truly act on.
Treatments
- Physical Exercise Working / Worked
- I know exercising definitely helps me, i just haven't made it an extreme priority...
Open Hearing Loss & Deafness
I'm hearing but my major is ASL interpretation and deaf literature, I love love love Sign language and the local deaf community i have bonded with!
Treatments
- Sign Language Working / Worked
- Definitely worked for me. In my own opinion i think sign language is the best channel for communication with the deaf. There is a structure and it is a language.
Open College Stress
I love learning and i love college. But i always tend to slack of and procrastinate. It really builds up my stress and i start freaking out! (i know typical college student). THis past semester i really slacked off, now that im clean im looking forward to focusing more on getting a good college education.
Treatments
- Sleep Working / Worked
- Getting enough sleep is essential for me. But if get get TOO much sleep it does more damage than good

Open Financial Challenges
I used to save up my money really well. But what can i say?! I'm a giver. I would constantly buy people dinner and lunch, get my nails done because i felt i deserved a little pampering and what not, even if i couldn't afford it. I feel that i get too confident once i have too much money in the bank.
Open Time Management
oh lord. Time management is something i really need to work on. I want to get a planner and start writing lists again, but i haven't devoted enough frickin time to buy a planner!!
