the last few months leading up prior to this are posted here under the title "what realy helps us?" for all the new comers I am just like you. I have been addicted to inhalants for two years and have been trying to quit for a year. My mom found out (im 13) that i was buying pot. Then I whent under servalance. After that I broke down and told my mom about my inhalant adiction and that I wanted to die.
I thought my mom would freak out but she didn't.
No rehab would take me and I didnt want to be inpationt, so my mom scegualed an apointment with a phycyitrist. I felt so mutch better telling somebody. Ive been sober since june 1st and im not going to lie when i say ITS HARD. I was suicidle while i was going through my detox and felt like tottal sh!t. I got taken out of school early because of it.
what im trying to say is that anybody whos reading this... your not alone. I kept my secret hidden for two years before I got help. Geting help oppened up a new road of recovery for my depresion and anxiety as well, because I have anti depresants and anti anxiety medicen. The medicen made it alot easyer to quit but its STILL hard for me not to use and its been almost a month. I have REALY REALY bad cravings, but if i use then its a month of sobriety down the toilet.
I go to a tharapist twice a week and shes realy nice and helps me make sence of all these things I feel.
If you confess to an adult that you need help it will be the best desision you will ever make... even though the detox is prety rough. I feel alot better and I know you will too. And i shared your fears of admiting it to my parents. I honestly thought they would kill me, but they are actualy very understanding and suportive.
get help before its too late. it will be the best desision you will ever make

liz - Way to go!  How awesome that you've been sober since june 1st!! I think that I can speak for all of us here and say how proud we all are of you having taken the most important step and confiding in someone regarding the addiction and in dealing with the other issues, too. It was so uplifting reading your post, and thank you for inspiring others who are suffering to get the outside help as well. Hugs |

liz- Awesome news! Thanks so much for sharing this with us!
It's great to hear that your mom didn't "freak" because I know that's a huge concern for a lot of people on the board, and with many teens (and adults) we talk to.
Please keep us posted, and keep telling your story as, like janesmith said, I'm sure it's inspiring someone to take that next step.

Hi guys! just wanted to give everybody here an update. On June 27th i slipped up and huffed a can that my parents had forgotten to lock up. I was so angry at myself for a long time afterwords because I didn't make 30 days. I havent done it since the 27th though... after that one time I ended up detoxing for about a day, but that was nothing compared to the Hell it was whenever I first started getting sober on the 1st of July. I know it's hard. If your faceing this and your trying to get help for yourself you can talk to me. Im on facebook and myspace. My name is Liz McPherson on facebook im wearing a pink and black shirt and on myspace I think im wearing a black t shirt. I have short brown hair. Dont hesatate to talk to me. You can also email me at lizrocksva@yahoo.com . I know what it feels like to be alone through all this. I havent been able to talk to anybody about this stuff ever and I need to. I want to. Nobody will listen, and if they do its extreamly akward. It wont be akward for you to talk to me. Ive gone through it too. |

liz- Thanks for the update. Please continue to talk to someone. There has to be someone you know who you can speak with and it won't be awkward. We're here for you on the board, but it would also be good to have someone in your personal life support you too.
Happy early 30 day sobriety!
