well ill give you my little personal story.... i was 22yrs old a single mom at the time and hadn't got all of my party bug out of me yet. well a "friend" introduced me to something called a ca vie, which is weed and crack mixed, well at the time i smoked alto of weed and thought to myself "well I'm already smoking weed what could it hurt?" well after the first hit i was feeling WONDERFUL and i felt that i was invincible. i dint think i had a problem until i lost my job (no going to stay home and be high), i lost my home (not paying rent Cox i felt the NEED to be high) and i ALMOST lost what means the world to me MY CHILDREN. it took alto of willpower and my family to stop me from smoking those ca vies. i first had to move out of my area i was in, lose all my "so called" friends that hung around my home and get right in the Head and figure out what my priorities were. FIRST i had to right ALL the wrongs i had done by telling each family member,REAL friend, and worst of all MY CHILDREN that i had an addiction to crack. SECOND i had to tell them all that i had been stealing from them and PAY them all back every dime i ever stole. and lastly i needed to do it for myself because living that lifestyle got me nowhere fast and almost made me lose overhang that i hold dear to me. yeah it was very embarrassing to have to tell my loved ones i had a problem and i wasnt strong enough to JUST SAY NO! but i did IT!!!! if you find it hard to do it alone like i did look for help. ASK FOR HELP!!! thats the first step to getting over an addiction. and when you DO STOP keep asking for help everyday because its always easier to slip back into something that you have been doing for a long time. HAVE FAITH IN YOURSELF AND YOU CAN OVERCOME ANYTHING. goodluck i hope i helped you in your time of need.
