im 24 yrs old and have been dealing with addictions of many kinds since my childhood. I was in the 6th grade smoking a pack of ciggs before it was "cool" I quiet on my own was "clean" for a little while than started a porn addiction. from there I went on to be obsessed with marijuana, otc meds of all kids, sex/porn, self mutilation, alcohol, snorting whatever I can get. now I have two children and am raising them on my own. I seem to be struggling real hard to stay clean these past few weeks. I crave everything and anything ive ever been addicted to. I shake, vomit, cry, and so much more. how do I stay clean for my kids when I cant stop thinking of drugs, sex, alcohol.

Recognizing you have a problem is the first step in getting it under control.

Addiction is a symptom of deeper emotional issues such as depression, anxiety, stress and the list goes on. You need alot of support and a visit to your doctor to talk about the things going on in your life that are having a negative impact on you.

Chances are, your doctor will medication to help and/or refer you to counseling.

Keep us posted. We care.

God Bless!

Thanks for the time taken to reply its nice to see the support.... ive been in a real low these past few weeks and felt so lost. this is a great place to start for me to get back to living. i felt like a failure thinking that a dr was my only chance at help but now that i see how many people really go and see drs/receive meds i dont have to be so embarrassed and alone anymore. maybe there really is a chance at seeing the light at the end of the rainbow.

We all have days when we get down in the dumps. That's what life is so we need each other to help us over the potholes in the road of life!

Don't be afraid to talk about your problems, we all have them and we have all been in your shoes at one time or another. Keeping negative feelings inside is a huge trigger and will definitely make you self medicate to numb them.

Keep in mind that better days are ahead of you! There is hope! Sometimes we just need to change our focus

Keep us posted and God Bless!

     I was recently separated from my wife of 33 years and it's complicated. Anyway I rented a room about 15 minutes away and I see my kids about once a week. I see the people who own the house I live in once in a while but other than that I stay in my room where I do my cooking, wash dishes in the shower, read, color, and sleep. I get out at least once a day. I grocery shop and I attend 2 meetings...
