All right. So, for those of you who don't know, I've been struggling for a long, long, long time with addictions. I'm only 15 and I've known all of the consequences of drugs/alcohol since I started using.
I recently began dating this boy who I really, really like. Heck, I love him. And he's straight-edge. I'm quitting everything (almost) for him. I've been clean for three days. Which is a new record for me. Here's what I'm continuing: cigarettes, and marijuana. I might occasionally have a drink or two, but I'm trying to cut alcohol out completely. Here's what I'm stopping: painkillers, alcohol (mostly), hallucinogenics, and everything else that I was taking. Most of which I don't know what it was. If anyone has some advice on stopping it'd be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

life, based on the drugs you mentioned it would be extremely advisable to discuss this with your doctor. there are major complications trying come off these drugs alone based on the time and your active use. one of the reactions that may happen is a grand mal seizure. there are others. those drugs have a half life and when your body is no longer getting it's dose havoc occurs. please get help and don't go it alone.

Kudos for you for starting to stop! Yes, you should see a doctor or a therapist that deals with addiction so you can stop safely. I'm sure it's hard at your age to find some sort of counselor, but it really would be a great place to start. Does your boyfriend know that you're still using?
p.s. I know how hot those straight-edge boys are!
