Im not sure where to start, since so far I don't have any addictions, except to stupidity. I am on Paroxetine, ambien, and xanax. I hate my life. I hate my "boyfriend". I am a hermit. I can't handle the slightest thing, i freak out almost every day. I go to a pyschogist. He kinda helps. But Im still feeling really crappy, and need some help. I got rid of all my friends, or they got rid of me. They were prone to drinking too much or being drug addicts, so i quit hanging out with them, and then the rest decided i was too judgemental, since i couldnt explain "sorry guys i cant keep drinking and smoking pot all the time, ill get addicted since ive got serious anxiety and depression problems."My "boyfriend" sucks. He gets upset when i get upset, which turns into abusive arguments and cut downs and panic attacks, where then i take xanax, calm down, and then we get ok, but then he gets mad because apparently im only ever nice if im on copious amounts of pills.I dont have more than a few people here for me every once in a while. It's nice when they're around, but really terrible when they're not. Im home alone almost all the time. I cut myself...and im scared ill keep doing it if i dont get more help. I have all the pre-requisits to addictive behavior and im trying hard to stay away from it all, but its really hard when i feel so crappy. can anyone relate?

Read some of the AA big book, or NA- see if you identify with any of the

writings....If you look for some of the pamphlets AA puts out, there is one with Questions- pertaining to: is AA for me- underlying causes we call 'isms', (take a way the drugs or alcohol- and thats what you will find)

 I found I belonged in AA, BUT :    " A Drug is a Drug" Best of luck ! Nia

I would suggest reading up on addiction, and go from there! For me I realized my life was out of control when I used, and I didn't know how to stop using. Things happened once I got the drug/drink in me, and it was disasterious! Once I realized I was an addict I went to my doctor, and told them. I was on benzo's and asked to be taken off them. I found a non narcotic anxiety medication to take the place of that benzo! This medication needs to be monitored before stopping it, and you can't just quit cold turkey. It was the worse withdrawls I have ever experienced, and I had to be cut down gradually. I tried to do it on my own, and that's dangerous. Although I chose to try other methods because if I'm gonna be in recovery that I'm going all the way. I believe you must abstain from ALL drugs in order to recover! So that means no narcotics that will trigger me, but everybodys situation is different! That is what works for this addict anyways! Good luck, and hope everything works out for you! Take care and God Bless!
