I have a friend who says he’s not “addicted” because he only does it when he’s bored (alot of the time), but we all think that he is.
I’m an ex-user, and somewhat still am at the age of 17.
I think I started when I was around 14 with marijuana at first. To be straight up, it destroyed my family and I don’t think it’s going to ever be the same again. I was always known as a violent kid growing up, but marijuana seemed to bring that out more, especially at my house.
I guess you could say my rage was fueled by marijuana’s side effects. I’m not talking about the fun head highs and all that, I’m talking about the ones you can’t see; Denial, selfishness, and paranoia. I’m not saying this goes for everyone, I’m just saying that this is what happened to me and how it affected my family.
While I was using, even after the high was over, the littlest things could take me over board. I felt so happy when I was doing drugs and I hated my family for being mad at me for using them. They said I was ruining my life and I thought I was just fine. I ended up taking it to the point where I was punching holes in the wall, getting in screaming arguments and even to the point of getting in fist fights with my dad…. That was 2-3 years ago and I still haven’t talk to him since.
My family can’t operate or function as a normal family would because the tension between me and my father. we can’t be in the same room because it’s just so akward. It’s like when animals can sense a threat almost. Me and my dad have a history and we haven’t been able to put it behind us yet.
Another thing is, I’m the oldest of 3 children. My little brothers look up to me so much and even one of them is doing drugs now… It’s not something I want him doing, but when I look at him I see myself… I understand…
My mom has bent over backwards for me so that I would be happy. I’m her little boy and she would do anything to make me happy. I use to get money from her for drugs and she would give it to me… Sometimes she would cry when giving me the money because she didn’t want me to do it, but hell, what did I care? I’m gonna go have fun and not let her ruin it for me.. Well that was my perspective on life back then.. Now I’m extremely ashamed of myself.
I broke off from my family because they loved me as much as I loved getting high. They began to take things away from me unless I stopped and that juts pissed me off to no end. I didn’t want “family time” I wanted drugs. I even tried to get my family into drugs to show them how fun it was… I’m such an idiot..
It might not seem like it if you’re using, but you ARE hurting people when you do and other people DO have feelings such as your own. If you or someone else is thinking about using, make sure you put some serious thought into it, and don’t lie to yourself when you do.
