desperate&disturbed, cutting and weed can both lead you down a dark road. Weed can cut you off from reality and I know escaping reality is sometimes almost feels needed but reality is what we have to face to get better. The escape from cutting is the same. I know things can often feel overwhelming but maybe you can slowly turn towards reality instead of escaping it. Take small steps so you don't feel so overwhelmed. Just my thoughts....

Hello Desperate,
I think you wouldn't even be posting here, when there isn't a little voice inside you; both smoking weed and cutting are selfdestructive behaviors. It helps...for a while. But you know it's not the solution. Maybe you can read here about people who fought for recovery, and how much it's giving us. (yep, I am one of them). Best wishes. |

Hi desperate ~ Yes, you want to escape reality and Weed helps you do it -- but how long is that going to work for you? How long before you're going to need something "better?"
It's my opinion, and others' too, that weed is just a stepping stone to other, stronger drugs - drugs that ARE addictive. Drugs that WILL take you out of reality, but will also kill you. I certainly don't want to read on here of your death! This is no game we're playing. We're talking about life here. Sure, life can be difficult at times, but why should YOU have to escape and everyone else has to face it? Do you think EVERYONE should be on weed? NO. We can't have the whole world on weed -- someone has to be responsible. Please get off the weed. You're just looking for trouble and you'll find it soon. Best of luck. Lee |

when the effects of the weed wears off nothing has positively changed in the meantime in your life. you're right back where you were. a vicious cycle can occur. __________________ Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle. The world you desired can be won. It exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours..~Ayn Rand |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
