Hey, my name is Charli and I am a twenty year old mother. I have a 1 1/2 year old son. I have been smoking marijuana for 3 years and I love it. I read all these stories about people being addicted to marijuana....not me!!!! Marijuana is ALL natural, how can you get addicted. To be honest, I smoked meth for about a year and that was horrible and that really screwed up my mind so I stopped(it was simple). It's all mind-control. If you get addicted to meth or heroin or something else, it is all in your mind. It is possible to control it. The only downside is if you smoked it 24/7 and you dont stop whatsoever. Now alcohol is a different story. I have never really drank that much so I do not know how it is to be an alcoholic. But, I do know plenty of people who are. All I can say is be responsible with the drugs and alchohol you do. Do not let them overcome you.

My name is Maryjane. I'm going to be 16 in a few weeks. I have a boyfriend. His name is Brandon. I'm in love with him. But he's addicted to Marijuana. I have tried to overlook it but it's getting worse. Even though he said he's not addicted, I can tell. I don't know what to do. It's tearing us apart. I don't know what to do. I love him so much. I don't want to lose him. He's my heart and I don't want it to break. -MJ P.S. I love you Brandon.

Im 15 years old. I have been drinking since I was 12. My father is an alcoholic, and I never talk to him. My sophmore year, I skipped out of a pep rally before a big game to go drink. I was so drunk by the time I got to the game. My friends were shocked because I usually drink in private with just people that I know and trust. I did some stupid things, like telling off an old lady, and saying stupid things like "YAHH B*tch YAHH", in front of everyone at the football game. The next school day I was pulled into the Vice Priciple's office and was told that I was on tape and that he was very disapointed in me. But there were two things that made everything worse. 1. My basketball career officially stopped [I was susspended for 6 1/2 games] and had to take a test confirming that I am not dependent on any substances [which I failed twice]. 2. My step father is a teacher at the school, so when I arrived home all I heard was, "You are so dissapointing, you make me look bad in front of my co-workers." So my life stopped getting fun for about 6 months. Then I started back up again. This time more excessive. It's not that I don't feel loved, or that I don't get enough attention, I dont really know why I drink anymore. Another incident that just happend last weekend, I was drinking having a great time with my friends and I knew that something was going to go wrong. Well I drank way to much and started to throw up non stop. My head felt like it wanted to shut down. I literally felt like I wanted to die to just get away. But then everything started to fall apart. Since we were getting low on alcohol I gave my last 20 dollars to the friend of a friends type deal..and they left to get some. Next thing I know I am getting a text saying LEAVE THE F*CKING WOODS!!! We are getting M.I.P's. We took a short way back by following the railroad tracks. The cops were about 100 yards away. I ran and ran and ran. But I still feel like I am running, and Im not going any faster.....

I am only 13, but I love drugs. I need help. My moment of truth was when I attempted suicide because I couldnt get drugs. Drugs became more than life. Life was not worth living without the high. I take any of these drugs- Meth, Marijuana, Ecstacy, DXM, over the conter, Rx.... but I need to stop and I will!!!

I'm a nineteen year old girl who, all of her teenage years, has been an on-and-off alcoholic and drug abuser. I've been off of methadone for a good two months and before I relapsed it had been four months. No more pills. Though, last night I got drunk and fought with my boyfriend, blacking out - saying probably the most hurtful things I've ever heard come out of someone's mouth, also punching him, ripping his hair out, etc. Starting today, I'm giving up my alcohol addiction. For good. I've been killing myself. Right now, the only thing I'm doing is marijuana - which, honestly, is the best thing for me besides sobriety in itself. It can be a burden but if used wisely, it can help insomnia and lower stress level. Which are the things I'm most known for. I'd love to talk to anyone who is addicted and looking for help as I am. Keep positive. I love you all.
