OK people, I posted last night that I quit my job and today I went and did applications for new jobs against my will. Took all day and found jobs that hopefully won't do drug tests and are under 18. I found a few. Got about 7 applications, filled em all out. Unfortunately, almost all of them required drug testing. Despite that fact, I still got drunk tonight, got pissed off and hit some weed to calm down or else I would have blown up on my mom, which would have caused me to get kicked out even quicker, even though I took all day and made an effort to even try to quit smoking and drinking, then I got invited to a party and I went, got drunk, got pissed, still drunk now, and a bit stoned...I don't know why I cannot quit this drug and alcohol abuse, but it will not stop and I'm sick of it...I'm always in a fog, but still cannot stop....it's like my body needs it. Ugh....what do I do folks?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I had to go to treatment for drugs and alcohol when I was 19. If you can not kick it on your own that is my advice on what to do. You also can not go to a treatment center where your using buddies will visit. You have to be willing to change all your playmates and playgrounds, otherwise your chances of maintaining that sobriety or clean time are nil.
Hope this helps...
ps...I get ignored more then you LOL
Best of luck to you. :-)
Have you ever tried to break loose a rusted screw or bolt? It seems like it is NEVER going to let loose....but if you keep trying, all it takes is BREAKING THE BOND and you're free of it.
I have been on the healing and forgiveness journey for over 25 years now. And I know it is a lifelong commitment.
But believe me, it is worth the struggle, whatever it takes, your reward will be much greater.
That is a basic principle that works for everyone, not just "some people."
Kim- The others are right. It's a healing process. Don't kick your self too hard to slipping up. Just try to keep doing the right thing. (huggles)
