There are practical considerations when dependent on drugs but then there's also the immense psychological impact...would you say you're an addict? Is this something you recognize as a problem that needs sorting out before it escalates?

The problem with any sort of damaging behaviour is that it's just that - damaging. Drugs, alcohol, spending, food, promiscuity, gambling...all of it promises so much and delivers so little.

No one wants to deny you the right to do whatever you want with your body. But it saddens me that you feel you need drugs this badly. What is the next course of action do you think?

I hope things improve. And please remember - we're here for you.
